Into the Blogdom Abyss

I said I would not come around to blogging. I still don't need a cell phone. I am better off sticking to a plan. I have gotten dumber since getting a cell phone and now look at me! Whee, I'm blogging! I'm blogging! Whatever. So what does Otto Gol know about the game? A little about winning and losing. In a name, an Auto Goal is the most painful occurrence for any player and team to encounter on the pitch, unless it is in your favor. The emotional spectrum of an Auto Goal is the lowest low and the highest high depending which side your on. Beyond that, my parents named me Otto Gol and ironically, I have a long, somewhat fictional background of auto goals. Once you start, you cannot stop!

What will come from this blog will be info on teams that no one cares about. The ones people care about are in the headlines. My teams are being followed by folks who do not have two grains of rice to rub together. They have heart, they have passion, and they have a team. So, if you want a bunch of stuff on the top leagues, it may be here. But, this blog most likely will cover the bottom dwellers. So, if you have a team that you love to pull for and it never wins, then this is the place to vent your frustration. And, if they never win and someday do, then this is place the vent your exacerbation. In all due time, we will win. It just may not be today.

As for closing this post, I need something catchy. I would say "stay tuned" or "keep the faith," but those phrases are currently used and they are appropriately applied. How about these ...

“Auto Goals are like brothers - they stay with you forever.”
“Blogging is Neat-O!”
“More Nonsense to Come!”
“This is the last posting to this blog – I mean it!”
“Who do I think I am – Chaucer?”
“Legalize Reggae.”
“Swimming should be an Olympic Sport”
“I’m a Ford Truck Man.”

I am not too sure on the closing. So, bury your cell phone, throw your lap top in the river, wrap a 500 pack of Black Cat firecrackers around your Blackberry (light it), and reply before I delete this blog because I am getting hi-tech! My blogging senses are tingling.

In closing, enjoy your blessings and the benefits of an occasional Otto Gol. Win or lose, it is out of your control.
