Touchdown, Your Story

You are here: Home » Touchdown, Your Story


 
James always wanted to score a touchdown in a big game. He used the Design Your Story Submission Form section and told me he wanted an adrenaline rush and some excitement. He let me run with it (literally).  I hope you enjoy James and thanks for your submission. It keeps me busy and I love connecting with my readers and subscribers!


September 13th, 2012

Make that push right through the line. Feel the energy as you move powerfully through the large lineman standing in- between you and your field of vision. The quarterback pounds the football in your chest but you cant hear the pop of the ball because of the large bodies moving about you as they are slammed full speed with other men that want to kill you all because of the pig skin you hold in your hands.


You search for a hint of daylight cascading through pockets of legs that may guide you to the promise land as you bounce around avoiding the large hands of the defensive lineman that want to reach out and wring your neck. Then suddenly a hole forms big enough for your body to fit through and like a funnel your sucked through gaining momentum as you pound of the sides of the legs of men like pylons of a pier, jettisoning itself out of the sea.

You break through the wall and you think you’re free until four men stand out in front of you like guards who converge on you to take you out. With the ability of quick wittiness you have to make a decision to put your head down and plow through them or bounce around like a pinball until you are able to free yourself and just go.

The decision is made to plow ahead as you drive your legs into the ground and push hard making sure you obliterate who is in front of you. You kick your adrenaline up a notch and lower your head, stiffen your shoulders and strike first. Pushing whoever and whatever it is, the fuck out of your way.

With the power of a raging bull you blast the linebacker out of your way. The air is released out of his lungs as you topple him over and he lands on his back. You continue to drive through him leaping over his lifeless body while out running the other men who only see your uniform number fly by in reverse.

Its open field and there is no one in front of you. Your wide receivers are boxing out the cornerbacks which are allowing you full sail towards the end zone. The white hash marks move below your feet like a speeding car down a major highway. Your sights on the yellow goal post that are standing before you like open arms welcoming you home.

The crowd cheers as the vibration of their shouts travels onto the field and hits your body shaking everything around you. Including the very ground just beneath your feet.

Touchdown!


You cross the final line that marks the spot where you will celebrate your triumphant run. The stadium plays your favorite song as the fans rock the house. You present the football to the cheering crowd and flip it behind your head. Your teammates run to you banging their bodies into yours to join in the fun. You just scored on a 30 yard scamper solidifying your position as the best ever in a spectacular run that will be shown over and over again on ESPN, The Sports Network.

Today’s your day the team is on its way to a victory and all because you took the ball and ran baby ran, and scored the winning touchdown for all the happy fans.

"Far Away"

You are here: Home » "Far Away" May 5th, 2012 For mommy in heaven… My kids wouldn't let me sleep last night. I kept them busy all afternoon and evening, yet they were still very hyper. I picked Nico up from school at 2:00 o'clock P.M. and decided to take them for a road trip to Broward County. It's a close drive from where we live. I am just one county over to the north. I didn't feel like going home and falling into the same routine. I wanted to stimulate the boys so that they would sleep later that night. Honestly, maybe we all could get some sleep that night. It's hard to get motivated in life when you are sleep-deprived. Nico leaves class about 10 minutes earlier than the rest of the school. Since he was a premature baby, he has had a learning delay with speech. The State of Florida placed him in a program called Early Steps. It's a great program, and it allows him to catch up to the rest of his peers academically so that by the time h...

Hi Mama. Bye Mama

You are here: Home » Hi Mama. Bye Mama. June 26, 2012 Hi mama. Bye, mama. And so it goes. Up the street, hi, mama, down the street, bye, mama. The boys know where they can find mommy. It's just down the road, a path we take every day. Everywhere we go. We go with the flow. Hi mama. Bye, mama. It always starts the same, the familiar path of the road the boys have become accustomed to. It doesn't matter what we do; we will always pass right on through; regardless of how we travel, mom will always be on their left or their right. She's never too far out of sight. Hi mama. Bye, mama. The boys anticipate the car ride. They look on either side as we drive by, seeking a clear view of their mama to be seen through. They eagerly await with no other thought on their plate. They are just waiting for the moment to see their number one visually. Hi mama. Bye, mama We are getting closer now; they look at Dad, their pal. Their smiles reach from ear to ear, knowing the time is near...

Anatomy of a Loss

You are here: Home » Anatomy of a Loss July 5, 2012 When you lose someone that you love and that you depend on, it feels like everything around you has just crashed and burned. It doesn't matter what is happening in the world because yours just got charred beyond recognition. You are forced to reprogram everything about you. Who you are. What your path in life was. The goals you had planned. Everything before the death of a loved one is scraped.  Your mind wanders about aimlessness, and you just go over your mind time and time again about how you will be able to do it. Where do you go from here? You are afraid and bewildered because you are unsure what to do and who to turn to. You find that you question God and yourself and examine everything about your life.  The doubts set in about yourself, and you want to return to the day before so badly just to reassure yourself that everything ...
