Adventures of a College Educated Misfit Part 10

It's all in the game...

It's all in the game or maybe how you choose to play it. You can coach it, be a player, commentate or simply watch it. Either case, if there is a game to be played, you have a role to play in it.

What game are we watching? Why its none other than the most popular and most played game in life, the game of "love" so to speak. Some may say its a game we all play to win and usually end up crapping out. Others say love shouldn't be a game, but ends up in a game of tactics or.... A cold war of the hearts. Any way, the point is, whether you signed up to play, coach, commentate or watch, you're involved in the game and the position you play depends on various factors. I feel it depends on your maturity, where you are in life and what events lead you to the role you play and the lane you're most comfortable in.

Some factors contributing to the role you play in the game are:
1. Who hurt you
2. Fear of being hurt
3. Level of Confidence
4. Degree of self perception in terms of what you feel you deserve
5. Thirst level
6. Aien't shitness
7. Need to feel needed
8. Attention
9. Sponsorship
10. Escape/Vacation

11. The time of year you begin the season of cuddle…

.....the list can go on and on. Where I'm going with this? A misfits understands the various roles and factors of the game and transition into any of these roles with no problem. There are times we find a balance to have a successful game and times where we take the L.

If you read this and chose one of the roles of coach, player, commentator or audience, you my friend, are a misfit, but not a true misfit to your heart. See, in order to play the game, one must know all the roles. Develop a great offense/defensive and be able to distinguish between the two. Understand when the plays are being set up and which star players should be handed the ball. Empower talent and root for the home team all in house. What I’m saying is, in order to be a misfit of the game is to simply see the game as that of an officiate, referee or umpire. Why? Take a look at what Robert Go-to-hell has done to the NFL season. Without a strong body of officials, hard work may go to naught, while crappy schemes develop winners. Without proper game calling, controversial calls are made and everything is held in the balance of a win or a loss.

As I would like to seriously go into my observations and tangent, I will focus on this fact. Everyone if you will, please ponder this phrase: “Hoes be winning” and think of the factors associated with what it takes for a hoe to win and the contributions as to why they succeed in wining. Have some things in mind? Great! Now let’s ponder on the phrase: “These hoes be acting up.” Now think of the many ways hoes be acting up and the factors as to why. If you’re thinking of them as the “winning hoe” on the offensive” and the “acting up hoe” on the defense, kudos to you LOL. But that’s not where I’m going with this, although it is a good point….. Anyway the focus on these phrases is to say what stance are your taking on the phrases pin points what lane you’re most comfortable driving (or riding) in. As a misfit, you comfortably move in and out of roles that better suits your level of misfit and “aien’t shit” level.

So… digging deeper into my many layers of not being shit, I thought to have you fellow misfits look at your “role” in the game. Eh, it really doesn’t matter now, does it, misfits never fill their shoes to any other standards but their own and recreate the rules, right? J

I would like to dig deeper as I have a rant in my bones on the topic, but I'll stop cooking to say looking back at 2012, 2013 will be quite interesting for the misfits...

Thanks for reading,
