Athletics

All right now I want to be a world-class athlete J
I’ve been thinking about the concepts of the renaissance universal man, the Renaissance man if you will. While in this day and age it’s not really feasible to be broad-minded and learned enough to constitute such a title anymore, it is something of an idea I can appreciate.

Being a jack-of-all-trades is something I appreciate, and related to how I chose my name. But the striving to the renaissance ideal (and the implications in the references of the jack of all trades) is not just solely intellectual and vocational, but also striving for some physical prowess and mastery. A good idea and given some of my changing and complicated physical health of late I see an opportunity to try to improve an area of my life that I feel I’ve been less then diligent with.

Perhaps it’s in response to the Olympics and the idea of challenging oneself to achieve something requiring physical disciplining yourself. Perhaps it’s just my nature of getting interested in a new ways and ideas in what I can be in the world and lifetime.

Perhaps when I get some more ideas about how the current things in my life will settle out over the next few months, I will set goals for myself toward some form of athletic discipline as well.

I have a fair number of things on my plate right now and I’m looking at some busy activity for a bit coming up and some uncertainties after that, but I think the course I have set for my adventures is proving to be most rewarding and challenging.

Well I’m having a bit of a struggle getting some things I need to get done and it’s distracting me right now so I think This will likely have to be it in the way of updates tonight and likely tomorrow as well. I should be able to post something on Sunday.

Until then, Take Care of Yourselves,
Roving Jack
