McCl0uDY’s Rants: Twitch Gaming/E-Sports Show

Hello everyone,
            2015 has arrived and with it the annual reflection of your life and the improvements you’d like to see and make. This past year has been quite a life-changer for me. My wife and I welcomed our first and only child. The amount of free time I had previously available has dramatically decreased and as a whole, I have been unable to pursue as many hobbies as I’d like: predominantly blogging/writing. This year, I have set some goals and aim to reverse course and potentially expand.
            Some years ago I was introduced to the Jim Rome Sports Radio show by some coworkers. I have to admit that I was initially not a fan. I thought Jim was arrogant, condescending and his pauses during his thoughts aka “takes,” drove me nuts. However, as a sports fan and by majority rules, I was forced to continue to listen to the show and slowly but surely, I became a fan (and ultimately became a clone). These days I do my best not to miss The Jungle that airs daily all over the United States.
The gaming and e-sports industry has been growing for decades now and I believe it is close to becoming mainstream (such as on Television Networks). Over the past few years I have determined that my passion is in gaming and e-sports industry. So for about a year I have been trying to come up with ways as to how I could get involved in this industry. Currently, I go to work on weekdays, do the motions that are required of me, but at the end of the day, I am ultimately unsatisfied. These factors have been motivators in me wanting to do a show of my own, which is related to gaming and e-sports. I feel over the course of my life I have always immediately had an opinion/perspective about something when watching, hearing or reading about it. I believe that I have enough intelligence and a great sense of humor that others would enjoy. Therefore, I believe that with the help of talented and passionate others, there is a chance this venture may become possible.
Just about nothing is given in life. All valued things are sought after by many and then concealed by the few whom attain them. There is a large chance of failure and/or making myself look foolish. And yet there is a possibility that I may succeed and potentially reach a dream I’ve had for years. Or even better, I create a new career for myself and other passionate individuals, one that I look forward to participating in each day. I know there is an opportunity for this due to individuals like Jim Rome and other personality innovators. They all started small but with enough hard work and dedication were able to make something of their opportunities. Thank you to Jim Rome for giving me inspiration, I hope to one day be “The Jim Rome of gaming/e-sports” (and maybe one day have some drones of my own). I would also like to thank my wife who has supported me in my random endeavors, even when they haven’t panned out.

“All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.”
