I just want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
This has been a wild year.......
My life took a huge change on my birthday (feb 14, 2007) with the birth of my Daughter Lawson Isabella Lanford. With that birth my life has done a complete 180 as far as what is important to me. Family and Friends comes first and formost. This hobby of ours does not even come in a distant 2nd. So, why am I here??? Friendship. I like to call everybody here Family ( and some here I truly do call Family even though we may not be related by blood) and Friends.
Yes, this year has had some not so fond memories also. Things happened, I know I may have said some things that may have been out of line, or maybe they were inline. My outlook on somethings has changed, some for the better some, well, not so good. I know that at times my judgement may be clouded, I make make a call that at the time I thought was the correct thing only to look back and say "Damn, I really stepped on it that time". Unfortunetly I cannot use hindsite as a tool all the time. I know that on some days my mood is not the greatest and it can show. I am human just like the rest of you. As a site owner/founder sometimes it is best to just shut up, I have a really hard time with that sometimes. I like to debate if it is something I feel strongly about. If at any time you feel I am out of line, please, hit me up on PM.
For the past several years I have been big into Racing and Freestyle.. After this past year of not being able to make all the events like I use to I realized that my love for the sport has deminished some, I just dont have the fire that I use to have. Racing right now is really messed up with the rules the way they are... in 2006 I learned something..... I spent the whole season focusing on racing......... It payed off at the regional level, I came in 2nd in Nov. Stock and Nov Limited, At Nationals I was not ready, I had to work an all nighter on tuesday, while working during the days both tues and wed. I showed up tired and just not ready.. I elected to do Freestyle also on saturday (through the season I only competed about half the time), I went out there to just have fun.. I did not care where I placed, it did not matter to me. Well, sometimes when you "Just do not care" and only want to do something for fun you end up pulling a 3rd Place against some great competitors. Why?? Because I told myself to Have Fun....... Now, what does this have to do with anything??? Alot... This site is about having fun..... but we let it get to us sometimes. We let it turn us into someone we are not... So, with that, I am hoping to have alot of Fun this next year...... I may not make Daytona, I may not go race at all or any of the races. I just want to have fun.
With that, I hope everybody has a fun and joyfull day today....
Merry Christmas to all of you.........
