“Follow-Through” - Saturday, August 31, 2024, 12:33 PM

Sometimes I shoot my shot and forget to keep my form.

I stopped leaving my hand in the air, so people thought the waves weren’t as warm.

Maybe they’re right.

In this defining time of resilience I've been testing my brilliance against the darkest resistance.

Long before these words became so pliable, I was “Mr. Reliable” with a smile.

I don’t know who originally gave me the title, but I’ve kept it for a while because I don’t like letting the team down, especially on fourth downs.

While we were on the come-up I was way more available, now that we’ve made history the delivery has been less than desirable… borderline unprofessional.

That’s unacceptable.

They let it slide because it’s me, but I wouldn’t be happy and that’s what eats at me at all hours of the night.

What am I forgetting?
Out of mind, out of sight.

What am I missing?
Fighting giants twice my height.

What am I losing?
Invest with all my might.

I put my personal q and a’s on display, as a reminder to relay that these opportunity costs aren’t tax deductible.

I have one of those big black mouths that’s quite impossible to muzzle.

Big lips.
White teeth.
Brown skin.

You know all the things and see all the features, no need for a megaphone they’ll hear this from the bleachers.

Him has always been my personal pronoun but plenty need a reminder.

I’m usually with Her and she doesn't need a blinder.

They can’t see Us, so I set a timer.

Him.
Her.
They.
Us.

See how I bring people together?

It starts with the foundation, down to the letter.

I’m back with Kung Fu grip, bigger and better than ever…like fancy wine that you stored up forever…
then finally opened up one day and experienced the flavor.

It’s really good… congratulations and salutations on a great investment.

For everyone who’s on the advisory board of my personal real estate, please know I’ll always give more than I take, but you must know I’m ready to cash out at any date.

That’s on everything I love.

If your role model only lived to be 33,
then you’d know any day after that is cake and icing.
Life is a blessing, but paradise is waiting.

Apparently, it’s not my time to go, so let me practice my follow-through.

Since you didn’t see my last message this is me calling you.
