Day In Review

Sports Story of the Day: a great day for the Anaheim Duck. They took the 5-4 win at home in a really great game to watch. Defiantly worth watching the highlights if you haven't, as the game winning goal came with 1.7 seconds left on a great pass from Bobby Ryan to Paul Mara. Really liking what i'm seeing from them even though plenty to improve on. From the sloppy turnovers to the bad penalties, they still however look like a good squad.

Song of The Day: The 1900's  "Babies"
 I dont's know what this song is really about other then Babies of course but it is sure a catchy song. Great vocals and the instruments really make you want to tap your feet. Give it a couple listens you might enjoy it I sure do.  Its free on amazon.com as of the time I wrote this.

Quote of the Day : "You were born an original. Don't Die a Copy" - John Mason

Which I take as, be yourself, don't try to be other people, as you are your own person, don't forget that. 

Why the title "Character Over Reputation".

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." - John Wooden


The reason my blog is titled after this John Wooden quote is because I find the words to be so powerful. Going through school, especially Jr. High and High School, you learn people are going to judge you. I was made fun of plenty in school, I had the luck of being a shy skinny white guy with acne and braces. Looking back I remember feeling like everyone was talking behind my back and making their own impression of me that I knew was negative and wrong. At that age it really gets to you, but as I got a little older, and when you read quotes like this one from the great John Wooden, you begin to realize that you can only control so much of how people perceive you. If it's something negative that you know is not true you learn fast to let it slide right off and move on. Worrying about it really does no good. You will never control how people perceive you, but you can control the kind of person you want to be. I try to lead by example and to be myself and nothing more. If you think i'm a lame or a loser, don't worry you are not the first and won't be the last, but if you get to know me hey you might find a decent person. I never agree 100% with anyone but I will respect your opinion whether I like it or not and I ask everyone else to do the same. 

Day 1

Honestly I have no clue why I started a blog, I am a pretty big square and I don't find myself very interesting but I will give it the old college try since I made an account to follow other people. But if you do read this blog just know you will mostly getting blogs on music and sports because those are the two facets of my life that are important to me at the moment and maybe a little about video games and other junk in life if I get the urge, but you have been warned :)
