It was a great example of belonging to a tribe

2016 Florida Class 3A basketball Final — Tied 27-27 at halftime.

One of the most exciting Basketball games i’ve ever been in the bleachers for.

The lead went back and forth repeatedly.

And at one point near the end, it looked like the other team would run away with the win.

For the 15-year old freshman, he witnessed an unprecedented display of school spirit and was there in person to be part of a first ever Boys High School State Championship win.

It was the fifth game we’ve attended, and there were more fans at last night’s final than the other four games combined.

It was moving.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Never in a million years

Disneyland Hotel — Minutes after checking in, we checked out our view of Disneyland and Downtown Disney.

Disneyland Hotel at night — Walking back from Downtown Disney at Disneyland.

If you asked me how many consecutive days i’ve blogged or how many total blog posts i’ve written, i couldn’t tell you.

So please hold on a minute while i do some math.

Ok:

2,487 consecutive days to date
12,435 total blog posts to date

Crazy to remember two things:

Deep down, i didn’t think i could make it 100 straight days.
i never had any intentions of blogging past the 100th day.

Certain life events happen to remind us that we are limited by our beliefs. So be careful what we believe.

i think the reason i kept writing after 100 days was because…

America's Balance expert keynote speaker — Imagine the perimeter of the four boxes being a fifth box – that’s our HQ, or head quarters, the paperwork of life.

i think the reason i kept writing after 100 days was because…

i am preparing to die.

We are all going to die.

This isn’t a radical or secret revelation. It’s simply the truth.

And we are either planning to die well or we are avoiding planning to die well.

i’m not saying the circumstances that will cause our death will be pleasant, i’m saying that regardless of how we die, we can have our affairs, our spirit, our relationships, in decent order.

Day number 2,401 (who cares?)

iPhone calculator app — Not proud of what i did, but i am a firm believer in taking calculated risks. If you wouldn’t consider attending my funeral…

Day number 2,401 (who cares?)

No one.

And few people care about your Facebook updates.

Yesterday was a blogging milestone – 12,000 posts, or, 2,400 consecutive days at five posts a day.

Yesterday was also the day i reached 150 Facebook ‘friends’. Two weeks ago i had 414.

Does it even matter?

Disney Keynote Speaker — Walked Disney California Adventure at 7am and then walked to Disneyland prior to it’s 8am opening.

March 21 as this is written. June 21 as it goes public. Happy Summer Solstice. Here’s to hoping this is your best Summer ever.

Back to today, March 21. In 10 days the sixth year of daily blogging ends and the seventh year begins.

There’s an almost universal misunderstanding about the daily blogging. And after 11,000 blog posts, it long ago became something to accept and not worry about.

And here’s the crazy part – the writing isn’t one daily blog post for nearly every day of the year.

It’s every single day, without exception.

It’s 2,191 days in a row.

Unbelievable, until it’s not.

And it’s five differently-themed posts a day on five differently-themed websites.

Insane? For sure. Does it matter? Only to this person.
