Unnecessary Attention

It's funny how many times I have I walked into a place and gotten stares. I know it's not because I'm gorgeous or anything like that. It always makes me wonder what's going through their collective minds. My wife and friends say it's becaus I am a big person, but I don't believe I'm an overwhelmingly big person. At least, not enough to get the looks I get. It's usually one of those "Where do I know this guy from?" looks. Of course there are those times that people saying I look like some celebrity.

The most common one I get is Donovan McNabb. In one trip alone, I was called Donovan three times; once in Houston and twice in Philadelphia. Now, I wonder if the looks are telling me I should be somebody. Like, what am I waiting on or what's taking so long? I even get weird attention when there are celebrities in the area. Like the various times I did security at concerts and pro sporting events. Pink decided to make a spectacle of me during one of her shows in Houston and I couldn't even budge or laugh or shrug it off. We were to be statues, but why was I the statue she chose? Anyway, it was funny. I don't take it as a negative thing, just curious or maybe being an egomaniac.

Well, if that is indeed what you are waiting, I am working on it. I have championship to win first though and a few other things, but stay tuned. You never know until you know...


That's all for now. I'll check y'all later.

Smells

Many of us have certain smells that linger with us for the rest of our lives. The sense of smell is one of the most powerful because it can indicate an array of things from danger to meal time. I'm sure that as you read that first sentence you thought of a smell. It was probably linked to a memory. One of my significant smells is tied to the first time I stepped on a freshly cut football field and how I felt from head to toe .

I felt good, anxious, and ready. I don't know what it was about those smells. That fruity smell that wafts up as your cleats crunch and crunch that grass. Along with the sound and feel. It makes me feel bouncy when I think about it. Anytime I get a hint of that smell these days, I think back and I get amped. I love playing on turf fields, but nothing beats driving your opponent to the grass and getting a big whiff of that fresh;y cut grass. It also gives a shot at getting dirty...that's another story.

Happy New Year to everyone. Look out for the 2012 Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League. WE GOT THIS!
