"Streak"-ing

So when is a streak, not a streak anymore? Isn't it possible to just hit a great form and play like for an extended amount of time? Take the Reds for example. Are they streaking right now? Are they only good during this so called streak? The answer is quite simple no! To be honest, the Reds are a good baseball team. They are playing as well as I expected them to be playing. The have a really young nucleus and it was only a matter of time before they started playing this well together. To me, the Reds were on a winning streak to make it to .500. Now, they are just good. Their morale is up, everyone is hitting, pitchers are pitching...with the exception of Nick Masset. Side note on Masset: I'm assuming it is only a matter of time before he gets sent down to Triple-A Louisville.

So, please stop saying the Reds are streaking! Were they at one point? YES Are they now? NO! They are just good.

Now, on to a more serious subject....

Risk- exposure to the chance of injury or loss; a hazard or dangerous chance: It's not worth the risk.

That is the definition of risk above. Why in the world would anyone want to do that? Nothing about that definition shows promise. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to take a risk, for example with a girl, you have already lost! At that point, all hope is lost!! Time for some advice: Get to a point with whomever it is you like, where asking to do something isn't taking a risk. Once you hit that point, you win in the game of life! Alright, that may be a bit exaggerated, but seriously, you do win the game. Let's be honest, it is a game. It's a big game, with little games in between. And once you reach that point, the hard work is done, and you are smooth sailing. The problem: getting to that point. The solution: This was hard for me to think of, but I think the most important thing you need to get to that point is honesty! Maybe even not honesty with the other person, but honesty within yourself. By that I mean, you have to know who you are, what you are looking for, and most importantly what you want. There is a common factor between each segment of the last sentence. YOU. It really isn't about the other person, things will fall into place, insert cliche comment here.... if it's meant to be. It really is about yourself, your own person, and who you are.

Oh, and another thing! Competition sucks! If you have to compete, drop out of the race, it's not worth it! Move on, and find someone who wants you... that is all
