Chill Time……. and a Meebo Live Chat Schedule

June 8, 2009 by dwil 

People I have an admission to make….

I AM BURNT! To a crisp. I have tried to work through this feeling but I just cannot. Other than forced stoppages due to illness and health-related stuff I have been watching and writing sports non-stop for nearly three years. 

And now it is time for a break – a real break. 

This is a weird time for me to chill for a minute because MODI is about to take an extended leave from SOMM – like months – due to work-related issues. However, in order for me to get my swerve back to get my serve back (lmao) I gotta relax.

What I will do is Meebo Live Chat the remaining NBA Finals games and Meebo Live Chat the NBA Draft. Other than that, I am not writing until the day after the Wimbledon finals (July 6).

I need to give Roger Federer his props, Svetlana Kuznetsova, and whichever man and woman wins Wimbledon. So coming back the day after the event is perfect timing for me It will give me enough room to mellow out, hang with the fam, get my guitar chops fully back together, watch sports and sports-related news from a distance, look at websites other than sports websites, be introspective, assess me, and whatever else comes to mind – oh, and enjoy my birthday (June 25 – the day of the NBA Draft).

When I return it will be just in time for the opening of NFL training camps and gearing up for NCAA football season – my absolute favorite time of the sporting calendar year.

So, do join me on Meebo Tuesday, Thursday, and for any other NBA Finals games. And do join me on June 25 for an NBA Draft live chat.

Thank you all for reading SOMM religiously as many of you do.

And I hope you understand that for me to get back to busting out commentaries and articles on the two or three-a-day regular, I absolutely need this time for me. So I can give back to you. 

Oh, and I’ll be doing a Dave Zirin Edge of Sports segment sometime soon…. I’ll let you all know when that will happen, too. And if anyone wants to get in touch with deep news, thoughts, perceptions, whatever, do email me.

Thanks again y’all.

And see you – other than the chats – on July 6.

Peace

-DWil

    Understood. Bummed, but understood.

    Reflect, rebound, recharge, reboot; and as always, BRING IT when you return.

    Definitely D…

    reboot and recharge… I definitely understand!

    this blogging thing can consume all your free time.

    I’ll look to chime in more than I planned before my upcoming hiatus

    and for what it’s worth, I’ll be dropping a monster post tomorrow…

    Take the break because you need it. You and Modi write up quality articles on a daily basis on top of your jobs and personal lives. I mean sometimes I find it hard just getting time to read everything so I can imagine how difficult it is to actually write it up.

    Enjoy the summer, even though it is cooler than it should be. Global warming my arse!
