Dont take things to serious

[49ers_Fan]

When I came back on the scene at the 2000 Miggle Convention, I was so excited to see how this hobby has evolved. From custom boards, to decal sheets. Then I started collecting Hattie teams and original 67 big men I was obsessed with eBay, I felt on top of the world. Then I met some really good guys in Vance Warren, and Will Travers. They invited me in to the MEFA league in DC. My 1st season I struggled big time, I had a pretty team but no coaching skills or talent good enough to put on the field. Will would take me under his wing and try to help me. The biggest thing I learned from him was not about EF. It was about life, I was young just got married and didn’t know as much as I thought. He and His wife welcome me in to their home like they knew me forever. Time went by, the next season came and I had learned how to tweak bases. I started all over from scratch, whole new team everything. I was winning games and the biggest highlight came when I bet Vance. I made the playoffs lost in the 1st round, but later on that year I came in 2nd Pl of the Capitol City Clash. After all this I became big headed and I wanted to win at all cost. Than I became a part of a group who wanted the league to be the way we wanted it. During that time I became miserable , went thru a divorce ,people not wanting to bothered with me ETC. The point that I’m trying to make is this. If the records not broke don’t try to fix it, and when you get to the point that you feel that you have to win at all cost, This is no longer a hobby but a competitions. Guys this is our time to fellowship, bond and let our hair down, Leaving life’s problems alone at that moment. And if this is you please take a step back and look at yourself. This is supposed to be fun, And when you’re no longer having that peace and enjoyment that you had when you started in this hobby, Than something is wrong. This is my truth and I've lived with it. And now I’m having the time of my life playing this game.
