Mac, comeon! You gotta let me mess with the feable minds. It's just sooooo much fun. Look at 'em dance! LOL Dance puppet.....dance. Thata boy Rich! LOL And besides, if you guys don't know me well enough by now to know that it's all a mental phsyce up then TOO bad! LOL You have to be confident that you will win or why bother going at all? I'm looking to learn next year, and learn I'm sure I will. But I'm also looking to make a statement, and God willing and the fish keep biting, I will! Mac, ever heard of a book called "phsycocybernetics"? Sounds dry but it really isn't. The gist of the book is that you get what you say. Positive afirmation man. Your mind truly doesn't know the difference between what's real and what's imagined, but will act upon both equally and begin to take actions to bring that event to fruition (sp?). If you say you're going to win...you can and will, if you say you won't then you can't! That simple. It's not about me being the best compared to others. It's about me being the best that I can! That will either be good enough to rise to the top or it won't, but I'll never know until I get there and try will I. I made a decision a looong time ago, I could either be one of those guys that was in his 60's (we've all run into them at tackle shops and ramps) saying "yeah, I could have been pro. I could have been the next KVD." OR I could go DO it, and at 60 or 70 say "I DID go pro and made it" of "At least I went pro and don't have to wonder". Make sense? We never know how long we have, and I don't intend to waste any of my time. When I look back, I intend to have no regrets about what I should have done or tried. That being said, the fiercely competitive side of me says, kick butt and take names.....if and when you can. You don't become a KVD or Woo by losing or talking like a loser! Just my .02! Now back to cyber B&^%$ slapping Rich around.
BRING IT Rich! LOL
