What is the meaning of...........?

What is the meaning of……………?

            I have considered myself to be living a pretty average life.  I love sports, cooking, shooting stuff, and doing anything manly.  What is the meaning of it all though?  Every day is a new adventure with new questions as to why I do what I do?  Today I ponder the question of ‘what is love?’  Love is talked about by many.  Aristotle said “Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.”  Robert Frost said “Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.”  Yep, those just made me question my own question.  So I ask myself again to define love.  I define love as a bond between you and someone you have an emotional bond for.  As I walk the campus of Dixie State College I see many people who are dating, married, and even friends with benefits.  How do they know what they have found is true love.  Is it really a feeling inside of you that lets  you know?  If so what does it feel like? 

            I have spent my first 23 years of life with probably only a couple of things I can say I truly love.  I would say family, religion, and friends.  These are people that have been there for me through the thick and thin and I know that they are willing to support me through all life brings.  I guess at this point in my life I am suppose to be looking for a certain companion(girl) that is going to love me for ETERNITY!  Eternity is a really long time, and I wonder if there really is any girl out there that can last that long with me.  I look for a certain soul mate to live this life with, but what if I already passed her up?  Is that the end for me?  I believe there is to be more than one soul mate for each person in the world.  The trick is finding them and actually taking the bull by the horns and asking them for their hand in marriage.  I guess my first ‘bull’ to conquer is asking a girl on a date.  I have seen plenty of girls around that I find cute, but is it just me or is going up to a random girl and asking her on a date weird?

            I am far from Love so I digress.  We all think about the meaning of certain things in our life.  Some believe dreams so future comings, or some believe horoscopes are facts and should not be taking lightly.  Now I am religious and love to read the scriptures.  We read in the scriptures about different prophets receiving vision from God through dreams.  This is God speaking to his people on how we can return to live in his presence once again.  Then there are just those crazy nut jobs, and well normal people who have dreams and believe that it has meaning and that they should follow through with what happened in that dream.  I find that very insane to say the least.  What we dream should be kept in our dreams.  I am talking about when we are a sleep.  The dreams we should pursue are simply the same as the goals we want to achieve in life.  These are the dreams we should follow.  Some might say it is impossible, but when I read this word I see “I’m possible!”  Never underestimate your potential to be the best you can be.  We should always be pushing ourselves to find our limits.  “Never Say Never”(JB)

            As I let you ponder meaning of everything in your life, I would like to know switch subjects to something I find to be mucho importante!........SPORTS!!!!!!!

NBA Lockout =Finally over

            This can only mean good things are coming.  As much as I have loved watching Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, BJ Raji, and Charles Woodson go undefeated in the NFL, there is nothing like a sweet alley oop to Blake Griffin, or seeing LeBron James destroy the opposing team.  The ESPN Top 10 plays just haven’t been as electrifying without these NBA stars doing their thing.   Let’s get this CBA signed and let’s play some ball.  Christmas day can’t come any faster for me.  I love the rumors of trades, the hint of retirement, and even seeing the small market teams make a push in the playoffs(Way to go Memphis!).  I root, as I do every year, for the Utah Jazz to be the best in the west.  It is going to be a challenge with such a young team, but the youth will give us an edge in a season that will be crazy.  They will have weeks were teams will play back-to-back-to-back.  The older teams are going to have a hard time keeping up with the quickness of these youthful players. 

            My mind wonders, as do all great minds.  I hope this was insightful to those who read; if not……well I could care less because my opinion is greater than all y’alls!!!!!  Let this be a disclaimer for future posts.  As I leave you this post I would like to end with the words of the greatest basketball player of all time.
