I can't say how many times I've considered starting a blog only to have my tremendous lack of attention keep me forgetting to get one started. I toiled for a little while trying to figure out a good title for my blog, trying to be more creative than what I usually settle with, which is my name followed by a 23. Here are just a few ideas I threw out there:
- Rise & Fire
- The Black Hole of Chris Davis's Swing (seriously considered this one)
- Where the Wild Words Are
- Objective Brevity
- The Ballpark Way
And then one day the ole smart phone played "Let The Beat Build, Bitch" by Lil Wayne, of which I've been a huge fan of since my deployment to Iraq. I remember getting ready for work every morning and having that song get me started.
As an aspiring sports journalist, it seemed to fit my style while incorporating a major part of journalism within the four words. I dropped the "Bitch" for obvious reasons.
I'm sure you've noticed that the URL is theballparkway, and that's because letthebeatbuild has been taken (by someone who has never posted anything, I might add). I liked The Ballpark Way since I plan to talk quite a bit about those Texas Rangers that I hold so dear.
So now that you've listened to me diatribe about such an exhilarating subject, let me start this bad boy off by saying thank you for stopping by and I hope you guys enjoy my words, thoughts and whatever random crap I post.
Make sure you stop by or subscribe to my feeds to get the latest on my oddball observations.
Look at LeBron lose this battle to Rajon Rondo yesterday. Rondo is pretty good, by the way.
