Hello my friend we meet again. I am thinking way too much to just keep it in my head, I have to kind of explain it to you so you can help me understand once I read it back to myself. I was hearing a song and it started with these words, "They say no man's an island, but I tend to disagree". I think of myself as an island right now, I am stranded in the middle of nowhere and no one can hear me, no one can help me, and no one understands the pressure that I am feeling. I wish I can just lift all of this stress that I carry on me but I can't. No matter how hard I try, it's always there.
I look at the mirror and I see failure
Failure in the arms of other men
I see fear and I see weakness
Fear and weakness from the ground up.
No one even looks at me though, so yeah, def feel like an island most of the time.

Picture This
Picture this....don't close your eyes cause you won't be able to read then. Don't want to name people on my blog but you know who you are. Sorry, picture this.....5 friends, small dark hallway in a trailer, barely fitting in the hallway, probably 3 feet by 10. Talking, being there for one of them. Talking about God and his amazingness (is that even a word?) I didn't even know any of them 4 years ago, yet I felt that they'd be friends for life. Tonight wasn't about me, tonight wasn't about us, it was about how EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. If you can't understand that, man are you missing out!

First Thoughts
Finally, I am going to start blogging. Mostly for myself, so I can see what's going on with my life and what I thought during a certain day. You're more than welcome to read and comment on my blogs. Here's a little bit about me in case I get followers that barely know me or don't know me at all.
My name is Isaac and I am 25 years old. I love writing, I love sports and eventually I want to become a sportswriter. My life consists of nothing really exciting to be honest. If I were to die tomorrow, I have not really accomplished anything significant. I definitely don't want to sound blah, but I think a lot of people leave this place without leaving a legacy. I like to think of life in a sports type of way.
Sports have the Hall of Fame after you retire,and athletes ultimate goals are to win championships and then get named into the Hall of Fame. Myy question to myself and to you is "Will I get into the "life" Hall of Fame?" Have I hit homeruns during my tenure here? Have I hit game winning hits during my career? Have I been a leader in the clubhouse? To be honest with you, my strikeout to homerun ratio is pretty crappy. I was talking to someone about this and they said, "damn, I'm just lucky I'm in the ballgame!" Lucky is not what came to mind, we all get to be in this game of life, we all have a chance to go up to bat, and most of us either swing and miss, or even worse, not even swing and get called out on strikes. Then, as an athlete, one thing that can cause your career to end prematurely is injury and then it's over at times. What if you keep leaving everything in life for tomorrow and you die one day?
I hope I still have time to save my career and begin taking more chances even if I fail at times, it's alright. I have already begun. 3 people come into my "sports" type of mind. Derek Jeter, Brett Favre, and Michael Jordan. Derek Jeter has struck out over 1,500 times during his career, Brett Favre has thrown over 300 interceptions and Michael Jordan missed over 12,000 shots. NO ONE will remember those numbers when remembering these athletes. With them it's 3 Hall of Famers, and 12 Championships. And ulimtately, those numbers I just put up are high, but they are high because they tried throughout their careers. What I am trying to say is, get into God's Hall of Fame and you will be happy and in peace.
Love,
Isaac
