I like summer days. Yes its very warm in Texas. But when is it not? I do not mind the heat. Yes it can get bad if you do not have AC, but if you do, then no worries. I do not like winter. People always get sick in the winter, they get colds, flus, whatever.
On nice warm summer days I like to take short drives outside the city lines. Just drive around in the country, with the window down and just breathing in the nice warm air. My son calls these our special trips. We’ll stop somewhere to get burgers and we’ll blast the radio and we’ll sing along with songs we know and we’ll just laugh. At the end of the ride we’ll stop somewhere for ice cream or slushes and head on home.
Its awesome. I love days like those. Makes me happy to be alive. To enjoy the little things you know? After all its the little things that make life worth living. And life has so many things like that. Eating cheesecake on a cool day. Going to a rock concert. Watching a tear jerker movie (Disney). Just life in general has so many things great. But with all those great things comes bad things too. We lose people. We lose a lot. We hurt. We worry and fear. But that is just how it is. We hurt and when the hurt finally passes we feel the goodness of it all.
Life is beautiful just as it is scary. But that's why we call it life.
And that takes us to my friend Jack. Jack you and I go way back. I mean way way back. You were one of the people who helped usher me into SFT. We’ve shared some good times and some bad times together. We’ve shared meals and thanksgivings together. And we both have a mutual friend who we worry about constantly. We will all miss the scarecrow when it is time. That is for certain.
But for now we have a very important match ahead of us. That being for the SFT world heavyweight championship. Which is currently in my possession. So this is the first time I will be defending the title since I acquired it last month. I must say I am a little nervous. I got butterflies in m stomach. I got the willies. But that is just part of it all. Just something that goes with holding a title. And I wouldn't trade that feeling for the world. I like that I still get nervous. That I am little afraid. It means I am still a fan and still have not become all crusty and old and full of aggression. Its part of the little things I spoke about earlier.
And that is how it is and that is how it should be. If you get to a point where nothing phases you and nothing brings a smile or a sneer to your face, then its all for nothing. You gotta find stuff in life that matters, that makes you want to do things again.
And yes Jack I know you are hurting. The thing with Candace was hard on you. And I am sorry. And I will not throw cliché lines at you about loving and loss and stuff like that. Because hurt is hurt and that's all it is. WE all have felt it and we all will feel it again. That is life. That will always be life. Life will sort things out for us, even things out. In that you can trust.
Well I guess that is all I have to say for today.
