Oh Time...

Considering I have a whole LOT of free time lately, I found myself watching more television. Well, let me clarify, ESPN. I rather go for a second run of the day then sit in front of the boob tube, but I seem to have a little voice in my head saying, "Natalie isn't there a game on?"!! Thus, I mean I DID just graduate with my master's in sports management, it is perfectly alright for me to waste time watching sports. After all, it's considered work. I must immerse into the industry. I truly believe this will only help me actually get a job. Hopefully one that no longer has me chasing after customers who may or may not be intentionally trying to stiff me. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed the past decade or so I've been dependent upon the food & beverage industry to pay all of my bills. Hell, if it wasn't for alcohol I would be swimming in debt from my undergrad.

I love talking to people. Let me clarify again, mainly in person. You know when I can actually see their facial expressions. Body language speaks louder than words. I love making people smile, seeing their joy. One day I will have my own foundation. A non-profit dedicated to those less fortunate than I. Despite my boredom, my excess time, my recent openness to watching EVERY single game (besides baseball....sorry, so boring on t.v.), I know I am blessed in SO many ways. At least I HAVE TIME. At least I HAVE A TELEVISION. I never go hungry, without water, without people to talk to. So, I am thankful. I am fortunate. I will continue to watch every game I can, because I enjoy it and we've only got one life to live!

With that said, did you see the WNBA Finals!? Whoever said girls can't play basketball or no one will pay to see them play, clearly needs to get back in touch with reality. I know the WNBA may be having some financial setbacks, it's a recession people, but the Seattle Storm fans were in the building tonight! Let me tell you, Lauren Jackson CAN ball. Well, they ALL can ball! The Storm lead the series 2-0 against the Atlanta Dream. I have to admit, I RARELY watch women play sports, it's honestly just not that exciting. I think I'm the one who needs to get back in touch with reality. This game was awesome! Besides that, the Dream have the Miller twins who've played together since they were kids, including college and overseas. Talk about genetics! My question is, why aren't these girls in the media more?! Thursday night, you know where to find me. Sitting at home with my ESPN family!

Like I said, leave it to baseball.
