Mission Statement
welcome fine readers to A Lifetime Of Defeats. The is the one stop shop for 28 years of pain and misery as lived by yours truly in the world of sports. i will over the course of this blogs lifetime try as best i can to capture the anguish and heartbreak associated with hitching my wagon to sports teams that never seem to be able to win a championship. as a fan of the Braves, Falcons, and Auburn Tigers i have experienced great joy and thrills in key victories only to have all of those victories be crushed and destroyed in my soul by far more gruesome defeats. whether it's The Falcons being blown out on an actual blue moon (signifying how unlikely it will be that they ever should reach a moment like that again) in the Super Bowl, or Mark Wholers giving up a homerun to a dickhead backup catcher in the World Series when the Braves were up 2 games to none and leading in the 3rd against the hated Yankees and then getting swept from there on out in every world series game since, to having my Auburn Tigers go undefeated not once but twice in the past 20 years and not even getting a sniff of a National Championship; i feel that i have become an expert on having your expectations crushed...and it has left me full of hate and doubt and rage and hopefully that in turn can be turned into something productive. and so begins my journey.
