For as long as I can remember I have always been big on making countdowns. I remember hating the start of elementary school so much. I would immediately start a countdown towards the Columbus Day holiday, and then to Thanksgiving and so forth. Ever since those early days, I have pretty much continued this practice in most areas of numeric measure.
Well yesterday while I was running I realized that participating in a countdown is entirely idiotic. I mean seriously, what's the rush brah? Now please don't take this as me saying that you should never look forward to something in advance. I don't mean that at all. I just think that people (especially me) should place more emphasis on the journey as opposed to the destination. You usually find out more about yourself during the journey as opposed to the end game, especially if it's a difficult one.
I think time is moving pretty damn quick on its own. Time doesn't need some jackass (me) marking down the days in an effort to make the process fly by any quicker. I think the situation is under control.
I know I am a little crazy because I like to relate so many of life's lessons to sports, but I guess whatever forces a little critical thinking can't be all that bad.
Saturday is the last time Roy, Jon, Tyler, and Pat will take the court at Verizon as Hoyas. Seniors come and go all the time, but this group, along with Jeff, came in at the absolute worst time in the modern era of Hoya Hoops. All they are about to do is leave the program in its best shape since 1985.
After Saturday it will be time to hit the road, but that's alright. Nobody can stay home forever.
