It’s one of those days or two.
Hold on to your seats. It’s one of those days where my biorhythm is in whack or something. There’s got to be something. There has to be some explanation to how I’m feeling… So I checked on my biorhythm’s here: Free Biorhythm!
The results?
According to my Primary Rhythms…
Emotional: -90% Which means my stability and positive energy of my psyche and outlook on life, as well as my capacity to empathize with and build rapport with other people is EXTREMELY low!
Intellectual: +10% Which indicates my verbal, mathematical, symbolic, and creative abilities, as well as my capacity to apply reason and analysis to the world around me is not at a great level today.
Physical: +80% This shows that my strength, health, and raw physical vitality is quite high – which is probably why I’d rather be killing myself at the gym instead of killing myself at work.
And my Secondary Rhythms…
Mastery: +50% This is the composite of the Intellectual and Physical cycles. It encompasses my ability to succeed at tasks and to obtain what I desire. This cycle also tracks athletic ability and the focus required to learn physical skills. I’m definitely not motivated to workout, but I’d rather do that mindlessly than do my job like a zombie!
Passion: -2% This is the composite of the Physical and Emotional cycles. Passion encompasses my motivation to act, and the drive that allows me to continue a difficult pursuit. This cycle also tracks sexuality in its purest form. Uh… difficult pursuit? What about just surviving through the day? Lack of motivation is the theme for me. I have no motivation today. I don’t even have motivation to be lazy. I just want to do something different!
Wisdom: -45% This is the composite of the Emotional and Intellectual cycles. Wisdom encompasses my understanding of the world, my role in it, and the things that are truly important to my life. This cycle also tracks the presence of mind that you need to make crucial decisions.
Wisdom – understanding my role in the world. Funny… how appropriate as I questioned my station in life at about 3:00 AM last night as I watched ESPN News.
Maybe my biorhythms had a lot to do with how I felt about Kobe and Shaq last night. The whole Kobe/Shaq situation made me think about things emotionally if you can believe that.
I watched the recap of Kobe and Shaq about five times last night. I watched most of the game but fell asleep not knowing the score. I woke up in the living room and caught the Laker score on ESPN News and of course they kept showing the hug. That was more important to me than the score actually. The whole issue hasn’t run my life, it’s basically nothing really. A conflict only media driven. It’s pretty stupid in my honest opionion… but for a moment, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Sometimes you see people hug, shake hands, say hi and smile, but unless you really know what’s going on in their head, the hug, the hand shake, the smile could all be an act. Nothing real. Just for show. Fake.
I watched Kobe and Shaq shake hands and hug before the game. It hit me emotionally. I made it more than it could be. I got in their heads all of a sudden. Could either one be thinking, a year and a half removed from the ‘breakup’ - we may have made a mistake. There has to be some sort of deep seeded emotion in an individual despite their fame, fortune, bigger than life reality and media presence they need to portray.
Could Shaq be feeling sorry for Kobe and his Laker situation? Maybe. It’s always hard to leave a job with people you’ve worked with even if you didn’t like them all that much. It’s a big part of you despite how much you say it isn’t. Could Kobe look at Shaq and think back on the times they hugged and raised their arms to victory. Those times when their backs were against the walls yet they fought together, back to back, through the hardships and got the job done? I mean, those are times that eventually supercede the negative things that happen. You look back and see the moments of your life and see how wonderful things were and how an ego got in the way to pure brilliance!
Well, I watched them shake hands and hug. And I’m convinced it hit them right in the gut. Maybe not for long. Maybe for a brief moment. Maybe for a flash. It hit them. Everything they went through - all the good times and bad. And the regret. Nothing may be solved. The hatchet may not be buried. Love may not be regained… but for a moment I believe there was some sort of resolution, regret, love, sorrow, sadness and relief. And now you move on once again.
I wonder twenty years from now if they become friends. If they say - look at us, so young and so great and so big headed we didn’t accomplish what could have been. Will they eventually kick back thirty years from now and say to each other - we could have been the best for a long time. I wonder if forty years from now they admit and say – those were the best times of our lives - the championships, the fame, the fortune. Without each other, they wouldn’t have what they have today.
There are sports moments where the emotion overwhelms you and you shed a tear. When the US Olympic Hockey team won the gold in ‘80. When Gibby hit the home run in Game One in ‘88. When Fish hit the shot with .04 seconds left two years ago. And when the Indians won the Pennant in Major League. No, I didn’t shed a tear when Kobe and Shaq hugged… but it could have been one of those moments. I kinda wish it was.
I wonder if they will ever think about that. I hope they are just like us - human.
How I wish I can turn on the television and see this once again…
