So I choose to stay anonymous but this is my first post, from here on out, you the reader will take a journey into my life. This is the start, I am currently 18 years old, a college student, I have two jobs and my own car and license, life is cool, I cant complain. I grew up in Carson, CA and played football all my life. Had multiple scholarships leaving high school, but a season wrenching injury and bad grades killed all good going on in my life at the time. My first semester in college I did some dumb shit, got a tattoo, had sex with any girl walking, I am truly ashamed if my life, so starting 2014, I made major changes in my life, I have only had sex with one girl since the start of the new year, I raised my grades to a 3.2 GPA (NOT GOOD ENOUGH) a lot has changed. So now here we are, July 13, 2014. I am going to start off by saying hello reader, thank you for taking time out of your day to read my blog. Really, I don't expect anyone to read this, but I want to do it, so I can keep notes of my life and also inspire young kids. I want them to read this and understand that I sat in class such as them, I cheated on the vocab as they did. I have had heartbreak, and disappointment in my life as well as they have.

So lets begin, first of, I am going to make it to the NFL HALL OF FAME. Far fetch huh? but you want to know whats crazy? Its fucking possible lol, I used to get nervous and almost cry when thinking of how hard it is gonna be, but then I realized that what I am chasing is also chasing me, so as long as I work hard, stay humble, smart, and silent in my intentions and effort, I will be fine. A side note, as I said earlier, I made alot of changes in my life, I starting reading alot in college, I read "The Prince" by Machiavelli and "The 50 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene these books shaped who I became as a person, my personality, my outlook on things, these books made me who I am, or at least work to become. For example,both said do not talk as much but rather shut up and watch EVERYTHING!! So I went from a person that was known as outgoing to everyone now saying I am quiet. Ok, so a few days ago I was told that I have a hernia and will miss my Soph. year of football, that's 2 years of ball that I will never get back, now I have 2 years, 3 years max to show NFL scouts I have what it takes. It is no help that I am at a small school. But hey, I will say this alot, I know the end of my story, I know I will be successful, it just a matte4r of being able to deal with all the punches life throws at me. So with that recent news, I had to take a step back and reevaluate everything in my life. After my first semester in college, I understood my mission in life, and understood how football can help me open many doors to accomplish many other dreams. My senior year in high school, I tore up my knee and had to get surgery, I was told I would now be slow, would never be the same player, and I believed it all at the time. I went into a deep depression, I was snorting coke, doing Molly's, taking acid, anything that could help me escape my reality. I became very close with my brother during this time, as he kinda took me under his wing. He let me hang it with his friends who have now become mine, I was lonely during this time in my life, I would work out during lunch time, I would run routes on the field, while everyone else ate, once I started get attention from big names schools such as UCLA, USC, both of which I dreamed of going to as a child, when the coaches started calling me, asking if I had time to talk, giving me tours around the school, I say bright lights, and I wanted my name in those lights, nothing was gonna stop me. 2 weeks before my first game as a senior, I was the man, I was literally the face the city my school was in. Well, I heard my knee pop as I was walking at practice, and fell to the ground, just the thought makes me shake my head, but it was for the best. I over worked myself and fucked up my knee, I am a 17 year child at the time, I had the girl I wanted, at school, and another fine girl when I went home, everything was going great, but my knee popped, and my life has never been the same since, after I got hurt, both females were done with me, I just lost hope in life. I would get my lunch and go find a corner of shade in the back of the school and eat alone, I had no one to talk to. But I had drugs, they were easy to find. I once took a zanex bar and pasted put in history class. I told you, I did a bunch of dumb shit. But back to topic, the hernia, it has been going on since I hurt my knee but never really thought much of it until I went to see a doctor. So now a few weeks from tryouts, I get news that I cant play for about 6 weeks, so now I am going to miss tryouts, thus missing this up and coming season. I was bummed, at first I felt as if I was wasting my time, but I always say, Stay positive, consistent, and persistent. So I am looking at it ass the universe telling me to get my diet right, that is the only way to really stay in shape during the process of not being able to workout, so as of now I will be eating right to stay tight. well that is it for today, I will make a commitment to you my readers to write everyday.
Words of wisdom: Imagination and reality are very far apart, your goal in life should be to turn your imagination into your reality.
Remember everyday, is a step closer to your dreams or your doom, the choices you make today decide that for you.
