guy taoism want
Regardless of what you want to call it, guys need some type of spirituality they can grab onto. If it's Christianity, which is a very structured approach, or if it's something that's a little more open-ended... like, Zen's something you can make yourself a part of. You can interpret it for yourself, like Taoism and stuff like that.
successful people guy
When someone becomes successful or rich and famous, people perceive that person as being different. But I'm the same guy I've always been.
sports people guy
I do look forward to keeping in touch with the guys, because we'll always be connected in people's minds.
fighting thinking guy
I think I'm aware of what goes on in my mind more than some guys, and for that reason I fight more battles.
ball guys hitting kept playing seems
I was just getting the ball up. It seems like we were playing guys one place in the outfield, and they kept hitting it to the other, you know? Everything just went their way today.
body guys happy hope missing squash
I'm not missing any starts. No way. If I was going to miss a start, it would be (Sunday). Why am I so sure? Because I'm in my body and I feel it. I feel fine. There will be no controversy from this. I hope you guys squash this. I'm not happy at all that it's out there.
dress guy village
Dude, he's, like, 38 or something. I'm not going to be the guy who makes a 38-year-old dress like the Village People.
views mind pitching
I view my pitching on how confident I was out there, period. And if I lose that confidence, I can become a prisoner of my own mind.
writing
I just write mechanical things.
kids school high-school
I was this 5-7 pudgy kid in high school... I wasn't a popular kid. I was an outcast.
father league calling
I looked up to my father when I was 7 and 8. I believed it was my calling to be in the big leagues. I'd been raised by a family that always told me I could do anything I wanted.
league defense bigs
Big league defense is going to get outs most times.
sports age needs
It's not like I'm some kind of veteran and there is this huge age gap. I identify with them more off the field. I need to set an example, which is great, and I look forward to doing just that.
running ocean years
There's a part of me that wants to go streak and run outside and jump around and go swim in the ocean and do everything. The other part of me wants to bear down and repeat this kind of performance next year and in the years to come.
