Called to make a play

Behind every man is a boy. A boy who hurts, who wants to win to prove his father proud. But yet he is still a boy.

A man has to go through heartache and loss to know what pain is.

He has to go through triumph and victory to know that he doesn’t ever want to taste defeat for it is too bitter a taste for him to suffer through.

But yet, he stands and stares, looking past me, to his father in the stands. Looking for approval, looking for acknowledgment.

A Jersey Moment

I was a young PD and he was the grizzled vet who was VP at Arista and various other record companies before he started AIM Strategies which was one of the first companies to promote triple-A rock stations in 1993 and one of the only record contacts I had when I started working for Rock 101.1 back in 1999. Aim’s ongoing support of classic rock acts was bolstered by the Web site www.classicsdujour.com and the fire of two people, Paul and Elena.

Paul Yeskel was not only a mentor but someone who told me to stand my ground when I needed to but yet tried his damnest to make sure that I had a good point for everything I did. “Don’t tell me you’re not adding it Sean, tell me WHY you aren’t adding it.”

How scoring a century in cricket actually relates to March Madness

My friend Sonal Khodiyar says, “Expectation and desire are the two razor edges of a sword, and target, is the tip of the sword, which is so fierce that it can rip through anything it comes across if used with precision… :)”

Sonal is right on and the key phrase is “rip through anything it comes across if used with precision”.

If you hit someone with the wide part of the sword and don’t hit him with the sharpened edge, you could maybe give your opponent a bruise or may shatter your sword. It all depends on precision.
