basketball

So the more i sit and think about it the more i realize that basketball has become prob number two in preference of sports behind college football. Not just college basketball which i love with all my heart but also and very surprising the NBA is put into that group as well. Now everyone knows i love DUKE with a passion, i follow their recruiting like my life depends on it, i am what would you call addicted. The reason i am doing all this is i have come to one giant conclusion in my life......

My skills are slipping and i am starting to fall into the old man category here just like peyton manning said it was gonna happen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGmX6m78zDM&feature=related . Now i never claimed to be an exceptional athlete by any means of the imagination, i could always hold my own while in college i tried to the best of my abilities, but now they are starting to slip due to the lack of exercise in my life, its no ones fault but my own and i realize that, but its just getting sad really.

I attended a practice today with my boy j-mo, timmy and tags, and man do i miss being able to think i could compete with people, i now have become a running joke more than a person someone wants to actually play with GEESH. I show glimpses of the former self but like all great athletes of my day i am a shell of the man i once was.

This is going to change starting now, no longer will i let myself become more of a joker, the new year starts a new WALSH (i hope) not to become the superstar that i once was but to become better with my new found wisdom of old age and bag of tricks that i have picked up along the way.

SO WATCH OUT 2009 HERE COMES WALSH..........i hope

My Life

So it has been a few weeks since i started this whole shin dig and it's only my second post, way to keep up i know. Well for starters i got a new job at Chase as a teller...it pays the bills and thats all that matters to me right now. Also i would like to thank the legend we call TIM LAWSON for helping this guy fix his car. You know you have a true friend when he is out there with you in twenty below weather trying to fix a car with you.

Also something else happened today that was phenomenal, i got some free tix to the OSU versus WVU game on saturday, and that only means one thing i get to watch this guy ride the pine http://clubtrillion.blogspot.com/ i say if you havent read his stuff then i highly suggest you do.

Also while we are on the topic of sports i must say my heart went a little black today with the Yankees signing one of my fave players (not anymore though) in Mark Teixeria, given the dude got his and signed for 180 million but couldn't it have been with another team? Lets hope the evil empire crashes and burns again like last year. One more thing as well a small congrats goes out to the Garret Shivley for beating me in the championship game of fantasy football well played my friend well played.

In closing i must say life is great and i couldnt be happier where it is going and who it is going with. With all the love in my heart i say MERRY CHRISTMAS (none of this happy holiday ish i hear all the time)

I am ok with that

Well i guess i jumped on another bandwagon of the internet...oh well had to happen sometime i guess....Life is different in the real world, i have to come to find out that it isnt as easy as everything before it. I like it and hate it at the same time, because for the first time in my life i have been forced to grow up and not be "that guy walsh" i still have that persona, i am sure it will never leave me and i am ok with that. But i have begun to realize that the people you hang around with are the ones that affect your life. All my friends have serious jobs now and now i feel i must have the serious job as well, i am ok with that. I feel closer and closer to my friends everyday now as i see us growing up and becoming people that we could only imagine so few years ago. So whether is schwartz or morgan, or lambert (no first names needed here), i see us all becoming something that i must say am very proud of. Life moves fast and i am just trying to stay in the race.....
