Well it
certainly has been a while since I’ve blogged.
I appreciate the concern about why I’ve stopped. There are five main reasons why I've been MIA.
1 – The last
blogging I was doing was about the most inspirational people in my life. I was really enjoying that but eventually it
ran into really, really busy time of the year for me and something had to give. I hope to pick that project up again sometime
because there are certainly a lot of people in my life I want to give credit
to. Once I lost the rhythm of writing
those stories every week it has been hard to get motivated to start back
up. I’m sure I will get that going
again.
2 – I also
did quite a bit of traveling this summer, most memorably a trip to Iceland for
a couple weeks, and I just wanted to unplug for a while. I did put some videos/pics on Twitter of that
trip so if you wanna see some incredible stuff it’s out there. If you want to get away from it all, I
recommend a trip to Iceland. It’s not
that far away and you’ll be amazed that a place like that exists on this
planet.
3 – And now
that the school year has started back up I’m busy with the regular grind of the
year. I’m sure I will get back to some
regular blogging but, if/when I do, I want to make sure it’s original and
interesting to read.
4 – I write
a weekly email that is very blog-like about our track and field team. If you want on that list just email me at jwise@goshockers.com and I’ll put you on
the list.
5 – I tend
to get lazy sometimes.
In case you’re
curious, I still watch a lot of movies (currently going alphabetically through
all 481 dvd’s I own on a nightly basis).
I am the host of a new online show about our track team called On
Pace. I’m super excited about the
2017-18 track season and our first year in the American Conference (Outdoor
Championships back near home in Cincinnati in May!).
My mom had
to evacuate her home in Florida for Hurricane Irma. But as she said, “Don’t worry about me, I’ve
been through this before and know what to do.”
It’s the same thing when people ask me about tornadoes in Kansas!
I’m not sure
what or when I’ll blog again but I’m sure I’ll get back to it soon! Until then you’ll have to settle for
following me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat, text or, ya know, just
talk to me in person.
Thanks and
Go Shocks!
