Anything is Possible if….

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , on March 21, 2011 by bistroandzeke

I am a self-proclaimed Famous Blogger. I felt a resume was necessary because I have run into a problem with athletes not responding to my request for an interview. I am usually modest about my superb writing abilities, but when athletes reject my interviews I need to remind them who they’re dealing with. I feel it is time to let the world know of my grandiose accomplishments.

My resume includes-

First place winner in State Reflections contest with an inspiring story based on the theme “Anything is possible if…” I ended my story with “anything is possible if you just believe”. I wrote that story when I was in fourth grade. In fifth grade, I won third place for a DARE essay on why I would not do drugs. In eighth grade, I won an award for a story that I wrote for a standardized test. No one knows that I used the same story from fourth grade. ( I had that story memorized, because for Christmas, I got the story framed with the plaque and it was put up right by my bed). My English teacher was surprised that I won, and asked me if I was surprised. I told her I wasn’t because in fourth grade I was a child prodigy. She did not understand. I left it at that. That was my last award for writing. Although in high school, my English teacher recommended me being in a honors English class because of my writing on a particular assignment . I declined.

Here is a list of athletes/people that I have contacted or would like to contact for an interview in the future.

I have tried to contact Matt Szczur of the Chicago Cubs and he has not responded. He also has not accepted my friend request on Facebook. I will not hold this against him because he is a beast that could have played in the NFL but chose to play professional Baseball. Besides his obvious talents as a two sport Athlete, he saved a little girl’s life by doing a bone marrow transplant. Not only was he willing to do the transplant, but he was willing to miss the National Championship Game in order to do so. Fortunately for Villanova, the surgery was moved back and Szczur was able to play and help lead his team to a victory. He successfully did the transplant on a later date. He seems like a real cool dude and I would love to do an interview with him. I see him becoming a fan favorite in Chicago in the next couple of years and wouldn’t mind having him on my fantasy team.


Another Dude I would like to interview is Jimmer Fredette from BYU. He is out of this world! Surely if there ever was a man capable of receiving Golden plates weighing 200 pounds from the sky it would be Jimmer! After all he has been able carry his team on his back for the whole season. The heavenly messenger should have thought it through a little more when he chose Joseph Smith Jr. Unfortunately for Jimmer, Polygamy was outlawed by the Mormon Church so he won’t be able to fully cash in on his fame.

I would also like to interview Michelle Beadle from sports nation. I would only ask her one question, “Will you marry me”?

As I struggle with finding people to interview, I go back to to the story in fourth grade and remind myself that Anything is possible if…you just believe! I want to believe that one day this blog will make it big. Also that…

Matt Szczur is going to be a special player and a fan favorite with the Cubs. I would like for him to believe in my blog and respond back or at least accept my friend request on facebook!

I do not believe in Mormonism so the story is not relevant here.

Michelle Beadle should accept my marriage propsal and follow on twitter.
