Important to my people, important to me: The...
In my daily reading routine I came across an article from the BBC news magazine about discussing sports - specifically football (soccer) and the EURO 2012 tournament - with people are have little or no interest in the game whatsoever. (Article can be found here)
In my experience, a sport or a team tends to be a common denominator among people - a topic that invites discussion and creates an...

My brain: Producing high quality thoughts and...
A couple weeks ago I met with my career counselor and we discussed interview strategies. The interview marked a couple of firsts for me. This would be the first Skype interview I had ever done and the first interview for a sports information position.
Before we talked in depth about interview strategies I took a moment or two to clear the air about some of the difficulties and frustrations I was...

DangerDTM secures formal interview for Assistant...
At approximately 12:00 p.m. (MST) I received a call from the Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Information at Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash. He informed me that Whitworth University wished to fly me to Spokane from Denver for a formal interview and a tour of the campus.
I was given three potential dates for the interview in early July. One of the available dates was July 9th, my...

Delivering pizzas to the blind: A lesson in...
I wasn’t having a good day. I returned home today after spending two weeks house sitting near Denver’s Washington Park. “Wash Park” is a hip, swanky, park of town. During the two weeks I spend living by it I never went to the park itself or took advantage of the many amenities near it. Instead, I spent a tremendous amount of time inside watching TV - primarily the European...

There is also a hipster Belle from “Beauty and the Beast” and hipster Rapunzel from “Tangled.” I know a guy who dressed up as a hipster fictional character who was doing it before it was mainstream in the geek community.

I’m loving playing softball with my siblings and our good friends. It is something I genuinely look forward to each week. With the interview tomorrow, I think it will be a good thing to distract me for a while. I went 1-2 with a double and a run scored last week in a 13-3 victory (five innings).
Nick plays on the team. I asked Kevin to come and bring oranges slices like parents did in my...

crumpeteatingwoofter replied to your post: I’m pretty excited for the EUROs. My winner and thoughts on the English national team
Yeah, no one is excited about the football over here. It may be because we finally realise how shit we are, or because the Olympics has taken over. I share your German prediction, but as always, will be rooting for Spain :)
This tournament really is a bit of an...

I have an interview for a job I actually want!
Tomorrow I have an interview to be the Assistant Sports Information Director at Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash.
This is kind of a big deal for me, so I would appreciate any positivity/optimism any of you may have as I look to secure this opportunity.
As I have mentioned before, I value the fans and all the support they offer. Stay tuned for a press conference much like the days of the...

Sports prophesy, my superpower (I choose to use it...
“One of the benefits of not having a career is the ability to watch major sporting events when they roll around. The latest one is the European Championships for soccer (football) held over the next month. The tournament opens tomorrow with host Poland facing off against 2004 Champs Greece at 9:30 a.m. (MST). I smell a draw, and a boring one at that. Prediction 0-0 with an over/under of two...

Truthful Tuesday: Sometimes less is more...
Over the past few days I’ve been house sitting near Denver’s Washington Park. I have made an effort to secure an internet connection but to this point I have been relatively cut off from the world I’ve created online.
To be honest I can’t say I’ve missed it too much. Instead, I am figuring out the nuances of living in a new place, its surroundings, and been very...
