Good guys win
Whats up PM Family?
Okay, its been a while but I feel like the PM Blog is like a confessional. Also, my co-worker is bumping John Coltrane in the background, which, of course inspires me to write.
I was pissed yesterday. I have this crazy thing with disrespect. I don't like to be disrespected and I try my mightiest not to disrespect others. Yesterday, via twitter some folks got out of hand. I was baited into a Cubs vs. White Sox debate which turned out to just be a reckless assault against @clarknyss. (shout out to @mrkwest for coming with the support)
For the record I don't care what team you root for especially if Reinsdorf and the boys aren't sharing any profits with you. (When you start referring to a major league team as "We" THAT's when I'll cut conversations off henceforth) Anyway, some names got hurled at me on a personal tip, which I don't do because I know what things can lead to.
I don't like unnecessary confrontation because I've seen people get killed over it. Truthfully, the last two REAL confrontations I had, one person did die and the other one, someone possibly could have. In this case, I was ready to punch somebody the next time I saw them.
THE NEXT MORNING
I woke up still upset but decided to ask God the best way to handle it. I was ready to be DONE with social networking. He talked to me about how the enemy attacks when we are moving in the right direction and how the gift of communication he gave me will NOT be wasted. Because I was obedient, I passed on the words he gave to me and put up a status that reflected his words. I think I may have touched a few people as the replies came in.
It's easy to get masked of Gods way when anger sets in, but his WAY, the Christian way is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS the better way to go. I also met some new people via the replies. Blessings

What I love most about life is that you can have these horrible and challenging experiences and they can actually help you grow. The maturity of this post is inspiring for all of us and I appreciate your honesty and self-awareness. You're welcome to share random stuff like this anytime. This is what it's about, and I GUARANTEE you somebody feels the same way.
All are welcome to say whatever you want here. Long as it's in Love and in pursuit of some greater Truth, send it my way.
ALSO, cats were out of line on Twitter last night. Just remember: if in general the person knows NOTHING about the White Sox except that they play on the Southside, ignore them.
one thing I have never regretted is keeping a cool head...I talked it out with dude and just overall happy with the way things were handled...which the enemy didnt wan to see happen
Praise God
Now that that's solved, do note that you probably only know one or two real Sox fans. I know about a Robin Ventura or a Ron Karkovice.
the crazy thing is I probably KNOW more about the SOX than most fans...I actually loved "crime dog" "little hurt" Rob Ventura (always good for a grand slam) Wilson Alvarez and AlexFernandez #1 and #2 was a beast back in the day...Jack McDowell, I mean these are some of my favorite players ever
whoo! go Clark! yes you will get attacks via social networking. but you have to remember what they are truly reflection on. what is the person gaining by doing this? also what is it in me that gets so angry over these attacks? i understand 100% love ya!
