My much needed time off!

Hey all! I'm back!

I had to take a break from wealthy affiliate and from my website due to being burnt out from school, work and working out. I quickly realized that I wasn't enjoying what I was doing anymore. It became a chore and because of that, I started getting extremely cranky with people and said some things I wouldn't normally say. I had to get my mind off of things and just give myself a break. I felt like my positive energy was completely gone and my writing suffered tremendously. I have to be in a positive state of mind in order to be at my best in my writing.

Anyhow, I feel very refreshed now and I'm eager to continue where I left off. I've been enjoying watching the first two weeks of the NFL regular season, and I'm very pleased with how my Chargers and Phillip Rivers have looked thus far under new coach Mike McCoy. I was very impressed with how they came back against the Eagles and Chip Kelly's overrated offense! (yeah I went there, sorry Eagles fans!). I have also begun a very challenging Spanish for native speakers course at my school in which I'm learning to write and speak in Spanish formally. I got to say, even though I can communicate well in Spanish and I speak it at home, it's very difficult to write and speak it in a formal way. This really makes me respect members on here that speak English as a second language, because it's no joke trying to learn and master another language.

I'm hoping to one day be able to master the Spanish language enough to be able to create a website in Spanish and be able to effectively communicate to the Hispanic community. I feel like this would give me a much broader audience and it would be cool to connect with people from other Latin countries. I also plan on one day moving to either Mexico or Spain (hey maybe both!) and possibly going to school over there or work as a sports writer. I think that would be an amazing experience and I'm working hard to make this a reality.
