The scene is early Sunday morning at the farmers market. This place is a catch all. Its a good place to buy cheap fruits and vegetables but its also like a little bit of a flea market. People selling clothes and knick knacks, dvds, cell phone accessories, a little bit of everything. I like coming here with my son every other Sunday.
As we are walking around, we find someone selling nice size avocados for 50 cents. Which is a great deal considering Walmart and HEB are selling the small ones for like 75 cents each. First I make sure they are not too old, mushy ones do not last more than a day or so. But they are just right. I buy half a dozen. I buy a sack of oranges for 3 bucks. And so far we are on a roll with deals.
I used to think my son would hate coming here with me, but he seems to like it and is always keeping a sharp eye out for deals. Every now and then someone will look at him funny or smile at him with pity. Which just makes me very angry. No one gets to look at him that way. No one. But I remind myself they are stupid people. They don't know any better so I let it go.
I am good at that. Letting things go. There are somethings in this world I can control and a whole lot of stuff I cant control. Actually most things I cannot control. For some reason there are a lot of people in the world who get annoyed if I even ask a question. If I ask who are you? They get all butt hurt. I am sorry if I do not recognize some people with a random name who was here a split second. Apparantley some people believe they are so important and that their brief spell in SFT left such a lasting impression that we should throw a party for them when they decide to stop by.
(Emerson shakes his head) Some people have egos the size of a volcano.
But you know Redd has never shown much of an ego. Honestly I don't think he cares anymore if he wins or loses. Which for me is fine, I hope he loses against me on Titans. (Emerson laughs)
But we need Redd to care, we really do. He leads SFT whether he likes it or not. And as such we need more from him. And has he been giving it his all? I don't think he has. I think he is dragging his feet waiting for some long forgotten so called legends to come to the rescue. But he needs to wake up and smell the roses, those guys are long gone, not even in the sport anymore. And the one or two might be don't remember this part of their lives. It falls on you, it falls on you and no one else. You hear me Redd? If you do not find a way to pick yourself up and pick SFT up with you, no one will. So wake the hell up! Get up, be more, do more, be the Redd we need you to be!
That is all I have to say.
