Be Willing to Laugh at Yourself

laugh at oneself

None of us will ever be perfect. Be willing to laugh at yourself! When we embrace the fact that we will all make mistakes, we are better because of it. It is the reality of life, and when we get to that point, I think we become more relatable with other people who experience similar things.

Having said that, I usually go big or go home when I make mistakes. I share this flashback with you to laugh at myself and to emphasize the fact that we are all human and that we sometimes get in too much of a hurry. 🙂

Big Blue Madness

Sometime in 2010…

It is the end of college football and UK obviously had a disappointing season. Today I was thinking about back when the Cats were actually decent and were eligible for a decent bowl game–back in the Rich Brooks era. A good UK football game leads fans to do some pretty silly things on the way to a big game. Read on to find out what I mean lol

Big Blue Madness is symbolic
A way for football fans to tailgate and frolic.

It was a cold winter day in January.
We were meeting and I had a lot of luggage to carry.

I threw it in the trunk and shut the door.
We talked about the game and predicted the final score.

Drinks, fried chicken, and corn hole
It was pre-game at the Music City Bowl.

Long runs, pass plays, and touch downs
Opposing fans left with disappointed frowns.

One of the few highlights of a UK football season
The excitement and pride was for a good reason.

The long ride home went rather quickly,
But the cold weather and hectic day had me feeling quite sickly.

Upon arrival back at my car,
I realized how rushed we really were.

I accidentally left my car running all day.
I just wanted to get an early start on our way.

I was impressed that my car had not died.
Then much to my surprise, my car keys were locked inside.

Word about this traveled really fast.
But I feel it’s a great memory from my past.

Big Blue Madness is symbolic
Making you lose common sense and all your logic. 🙂
