Welcome to the home for my many thoughts- a few articles and whatever else comes to my mind. Expect lots of sports thoughts with a few other nuggets thrown in as well.
Where the idea came from...
One day during my freshman year at WSU, I was standing on the court during pregame warmups. As I quietly observed the future Sweet-16 team preparing for their game, a flurry of thoughts ran through my head. One of them slipped out in the form of a question, only to be heard by my nearby friend- also a manager. Unaware of the string of internal thoughts that led to the question, my friend asked "Neil, is your mind just constantly racing?" I had never really pondered that idea before, but upon hearing it I realized he was on to something, it really was. But while at times (like when I'm trying to fall asleep) this characteristic can cause unrest, I've learned to accept and embrace the reality of my inquisitive nature. That simple conversation effectively changed the way I view my life, my thoughts, and my personality. It changed it all for the better. I realized that while much of what crosses my mind would be quite disinteresting to a lot of people, there are those few nuggets of thought each day which may resonate with someone, somewhere. As such, I decided a blog could be a valuable tool for me- a medium through which my thoughts can reach others. Perhaps someone else will be able to use such seemingly simple thoughts to better their perspective of their true nature. Perhaps in someway something I say will resonate with you. Perhaps somehow this blog can make a positive impact on others. Because who knows? Perhaps someday I will be doing this for a living. Might as well start today.
