Hey friends! I've been on Scorum now for probably a month or so.  Every now and then I would comment on posts but have not done the proper introduction.  Well, this is my introduction.  I discovered Scorum on Steemit like most all of my followers (thanks for following back friends!)  Scorum was instantly appealing since all of the posts/articles are about sports.  Sure, I love seeing a good meme or bullshit post every now and then, but the majority of my free-time is spent researching and reading about sports.


Sports have always been a huge part of my life.  I have three brothers so there was always someone to compete with.  When I was younger, I played football, baseball, basketball, and wrestling.  Football was my main sport though and was what I focused on through high school.  I was never one of the smaller, quicker, aka "skilled" players.  Instead, I was proud to be a lineman.  While I still think we were just as "skilled," I never got the ball (except for when I was snapping it) so I never got the glory.


Football stayed with me and I've always followed college and the NFL.  I graduated from VA Tech so I am a big Hokie fan.  As for NFL, I end up cheering more for my fantasy players than any particular team.  I have played fantasy football for over 10 years now and am absolutely ecstatic the season is about to start back up.  Part of the reason I decided to post now is because I actually have something to talk about I am passionate for.  Am I a fantasy expert? Meh, I would not quite say that.  But, I at least follow along and listen to enough podcasts to have a pretty good idea of what is going on.  


Last year when fantasy football was over, I was pretty depressed and actually wrote a poem about it.  This poem is one of many poems I have written, but this one seems quite appropriate for Scorum.


I Need You Back

It’s been over two weeks since I’ve seen you

The depression has kicked in, and I’m feeling blue

A day doesn’t go by you’re not in my mind

Give me some hope, just give me a sign

My friends bring you up every now and then

What’s the point? I just want to see you again

Work days are long, but why even go home?

This is worse than irritable bowel syndrome

The week finally leads into the weekend

Any sort of hope would be a godsend

But I sit on the couch and remember what we had

I never knew it would hit me this bad

I guess I might as well grab another beer

It’s not the answer, but it makes it more clear

I need a hobby, I can’t be such a bum

Or I could sit here, and make it all numb

But time creeps by, I don’t know what to do

I promise to not take advantage of you

I remember the smile you put on my face

I need that back, something to embrace

I guess since we’re done, it’s not a sin to look around

It’s just not the same, I know I’ll break down

The weeks go by, but it feels like a year

If only I knew that you were still near

But life goes on, we’ll make it til fall

I just want you to know, I love you, football


Hopefully that gives you a better idea of who I am and what to expect. Not all of my posts will be poems, but I will be sure to add some here and there if they are sports related.  


I am a proud father of a newborn daughter, Tilly.  She was born May 19th, so is about 3.5 months old. She is my life now which is why I haven't posted sooner. Below, you will catch a glimpse of how happy of a baby she is.

I could talk for days about Tilly, but if you want to know more, just ask.  

Throughout my time here on Scorum, I plan on posting about football, poems, and general sports.  Of course, all of this depends on how much spare time I am able to get from the newborn, but I wouldn't change it for the world.  I will continue reading articles and commenting, but don't be surprised if my posts are far apart from each other.  


Hopefully that gives you a pretty good idea of who I am and what to expect.  I am excited to be apart of a blockchain that is dedicated to sports.  If you're on Steemit, feel free to follow me at @boatsports90.
