The Playbook
When I was a kid, I used to imagine myself as a starting quarterback in the NFL. I would run around the house with a playbook on my wrist and imagine that I was calling plays, managing the huddle, calling audibles, and throwing touchdowns to receivers. However, when I grew up and joined football in…

The Master Chef
I am a type of person that does not care about food. My motto has always been to simply fill the hole and move on with my day. As long as it checks the “fill the hole” box, I’m good with eating it. However, being married to someone who loves food has caused me to…

The Hour Glass
In the world we live in, everything happens faster and quicker than in any point in history. At any time of the day, we can order something online and can get it the next day or sometimes even the same day. We can order food on our phones and get it delivered directly to our…

The Tight Rope
I don’t like heights. I’m not deathly afraid of them to where I won’t go on roller coasters or tall buildings, but when I look over the edge, I get a sinking feeling in my stomach. “What if I fall? What if the railing somehow disappears as I look over the edge? How bad would…

The Loading Screen
Over the past year, I have gotten into building up my video game collection. I downloaded every single one of my favorite video games from when I was a kid all the way up until now. That ranged from ps2, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Gameboy, ps3, and ps4 games. It was nostalgic to play all…

The Counterfeit
To counterfeit means to imitate something authentic, with the intent to steal, destroy, or replace the original, for use in illegal transactions, or otherwise to deceive individuals into believing that the fake is of equal or greater value than the real thing. When I was in high school, a shoe that was popular to wear was…

The Blacksmith
A TV show that I watch sometimes is called “Forged in Fire.” It is about a group of 4 blacksmiths that compete to see who can create the best sword based on various factors such as sharpness, durability, and ease of use. They do this by heating pieces of steel until the metal becomes soft…

The Boxing Ring
I love watching boxing highlights of Muhammad Ali. He is regarded as not only the greatest heavyweight boxer the world has ever seen, but also as one of the greatest showman that ever lived. No one, even to this day, could captivate a crowd and fill the air with as much life as Ali did.…
