So it has all changed. You get that, I get that... but one thing that has slowly started to become clearer, is I am slowly returning to old form. March Madness... this season is reminding me of how much fun I have being me. I won my first bracket in high school and I have been hooked ever since... during the 4+ years at my last company I ran the March Madness Bracket. I loved it. I don't know why, I love the tournament, I love winning it and I love organizing it. Last year wasn't the case a year ago.
This year my friends asked me to do it, let me run the scoring the way I wanted and thanked me for doing it. I got over 50 brackets submitted from all over the country and no one thinks I am doing this to "one up" someone. It is just Morgan being Morgan.
I am a loyal friend. I will go out of my way for you. I promise that. When I do things it is with the best intentions in mind... I hated that the most, when people find some negative intention behind what I am doing. That is not me. That means you don't know me. And for the first time, I just want to be me, I don't want to change to make someone else happy. It does not work.
I sometimes want to just disclaim who I am upfront, this last guy I met got the wrath via text message:
Me- Before this goes any further do you have an issue with me being a civil engineer or a marathon runner?
Fisherman- Haha. Why would I? Not at all.
Me- Haha. Random I know. I keep running into walls where guys are intimidated by that.
Me- And by wall I mean the last 5 years of my life. I kid, I kid. Kinda.
Fisherman- No I like the fact that you are educated and active.
Me- Ok. Those things may never change.
Fisherman- Why would they? Someone would have to be real insecure.
Yeah. So where are all the secure people?
