Wow.
I joined this forum in 2007 when I had big aspirations for wanting to become a sportswriter. I was just a kid in high school, and now I'm a 30-year-old kid with more gray hairs than I know what to do with! I posted a few aspirational 'pieces' for feedback in 2007, and then in 2010 I acted like a clown in a different thread (I'm sorry). I always appreciated the feedback that I received and never forgot about this forum.
I never became a sports journalist. In 2011, I just lost my drive to want to go forth with it. I went from wanting to do that to, eventually, developing a massive passion for barbecue and -- well -- that's what I do these days: sling barbecue and love every minute of it.
I still enjoy writing for fun in general. The quality bounces around I'm sure! I can't stand proofreading and it's all over the place, but it allows me to empty my overactive mind.
I know this is a pointless self-serving thread from a member who posted less than 25 times over a decade ago, but I wanted to say thank you to the members (if the same ones are active) that gave me feedback when I was giving it the ol' 'college try' years ago. Sports have changed so much, at least in the realm of sports journalism. Hey, at least my Rams of the NFL are viable these days, unlike back then.
