Alright, listen.
Hardcore softball dude that has a bandanna on, black sleeveless shirt, tattoos all the way up your arm and running your mouth the whole game, calm down.
As some of you may know, I am a very competitive person. Whatever I set my mind too, I usually put a lot of passion into. But if your winning by 12 runs in a rec league softball game, why do you need to slide through second base and break up a double play? You caused injury to my second basemen, but congrats, you broke up the double play (that he wasn't even going to throw it to first for).
This preface happened Friday night at our softball game. It is a beautiful night out, everyone is out drinking and having a good time, and this tool does this. Really? Whats the point? A. You have the game won, and 2. Who cares that much anyway?
Anyway, to my point. Why we do take things so seriously? Someday's, I'll be cruising in my car, listening to "Bright Spring Morning" by the Suburban Legends with all the windows down, and just see Mr. Grumpy pounding on his steering wheel. I'm guilty of this too, we all are. But I feel that we all need to start fighting our negative emotions sometimes.
I tried this today. I had a very typical day at work, if anything it was pretty good. Either way, I ended up in a downer mood on the way home. Instead of playing what I usually do in that mood, I cranked up some Zac Brown Band and heavier Shinedown. When I pulled into my driveway, I felt so much better than I did when I left the fraternity house.
What I'm trying to start to understand and also share with you, is that the sun is always shining somewhere. I'm in a very deep pit right now, there a lot of stuff going wrong, but guess what? The sun is out there somewhere. And some days, you have to bring it to yourself. So cheer up, buttercup. The world is still revolving.
Take care of yourself, and eachother; Cheers.
