Through out all the blackness of the dream there was no hope and no escape. I knew I would emerge and Christmas would be waiting. When you are buried alive in work and you can&#8217;t escape, it is worse then a windowless jail cell.<br \/>\n<strong>Kryha: <\/strong><br \/>\nShe is very good at hiding her love.<br \/>\n<strong>Why I&#8217;m a bad fan:<\/strong><br \/>\nI gave up on this team a long time ago. Even after their miracle of 2007\/08 and even after knowing football for over forty years. So much can happen&#8230;quickly. The philosophy of a football season is totally unpredictable , even more then life itself. I gave up on this team so many times and never give them hope. I am a bad fan. (I think it is all because I don&#8217;t want to get hurt)<br \/>\n<strong>Getting Hurt<\/strong><br \/>\nHurts.<br \/>\n<strong>Fear:<\/strong><br \/>\nFear and I have been walking hand in hand along the beach my whole life. It is so romantic and sexy. I just never want to let go.<br \/>\n<strong>Alcohol:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen I see people at the Giants games, so drunk, so stupid, that they probably won&#8217;t remember anything, I say to myself; &#8220;That should be me. By the grace of God, there I go.&#8221;<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t miss drinking, I don&#8217;t crave it. I don&#8217;t hate people that drink, I have no desire to drink. The dreams, (like that work coma) have gone away a very long time ago. Once I was sitting\/standing in a bar with Kryha in Hoboken, New Jersey. She had one beer. She had so so much fun and I envied her a little. Everyone else was having fun and drinking. A great fear (my beach walking friend) came over me for about two seconds that I was missing out on living life and that I was gonna die soon. Then I realized that if I didn&#8217;t stop drinking 8,089 days ago&#8230;..I would already be dead. I can guarantee that.<br \/>\n<strong>Church:<\/strong><br \/>\nA place where Fear never goes. (he is on the beach) I feel safe there.<br \/>\n<strong>The end of the world<\/strong><br \/>\nIf (when) Iran gets a nuclear weapon, it will be the start. When the globe begins to get micro-waved, I pray that I am in church when it happens. They say the world is supposed to end this year. I don&#8217;t think it will. It is supposed to come like e thief in the night&#8230;.so maybe next year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1076\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themightyten.com\/blog19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/blog10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1076\" src=\"https:\/\/themightyten.com\/blog19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/blog10.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"blog10\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themightyten.com\/blog19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/blog10.jpg 500w, https:\/\/themightyten.com\/blog19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/blog10-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1076\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My son Jonathan and I at the first playoff game at the new stadium.
