Dear Mr. Hopkins,
.
I would just like to let you know, that as I yesterday went up the dais to eyeball my “bête noir“, I was not at all confident that I could win in 6 weeks time.
Dear Mr. Hopkins,
.
I would just like to let you know, that as I yesterday went up the dais to eyeball my “bête noir“, I was not at all confident that I could win in 6 weeks time.
.
But seeing and hearing you beside me, telling “them” how assured you were of my odds… it made me believe. Trully!
.
In this business, plenty of hangers-on just mumble a set of “bovine dumplings” and other obnoxious maundering boasts. But with yourself, it’s as if you are speaking (or prophesying coming events) into existence.
.
When you’re a young’un – such as yours truly – you don’t really know much, and as a result, before anything else, one must try to convince himself that he can.
.
When you are a neophyte to this sport and to the sovereign pressure that comes with it… You don’t really know anything. And consequently, you eventually persuade yourself that you can do anything, other than fly.
.
Hearing your words made me believe, and believing, is step one towards getting there.
.
Victory is never certain, but if one does not try nor believe, absolutely nothing will be feasible.

I will forever be indebted to you and to that which you have instilled in me. Without you, there would be no “me”.

Ronald William Miller has ofttimes written that I’m technically flawed, he refers to me as an overly-enthusiastic “kid”, that I have a lackadaisical disposition in camp.
.
He piles on… that I have little in the way of defense, that I’m just an innately athletic fighter, with good legs to compensate and conceal for the technical shortcomings of my guard.
.
In this imminent and farthermost challenge, I aim to show to all and sundry that I’m more ( a LOT more!) than just a “twitchy” combatant. And I am NOT just a left handed hooker with fresh legs and a bounce to my step.
.
I do acknowledge that my leftward parries and my head movement did warrant major concern in years previous. I’m still in the throes of the jitters of habituating with Coach Joe’s “idiocracies” but nothing is ever too overwhelming for someone my age.

Journalists have every so often been discourteous to me. Maybe because I’m “just” a kid from a little fart of a town called Los Alamitos.
.
The generality of my “courtiers” “buzz” and operate as if they’re consumptive harlots or serial drunkards. While my muliebrous devotees have about as much longevity and serviceability as “cockmittens”.

Despite it all… I fear that I have yet a few fractuosities to endure before in late April they ask my “opposite number”, if he a-sleepin’… after I get done with him! Then again, it’s just my livelihood, beyond a paycheck I got no call to be vengeful. Perchance I ought not have told you as much, but I feel that I’ve put a lot of days work into honing my craft.
.
When all is said and done, I want you and Oscar to take me down yonder to Canastota. I’m sensitive as to my eventual place in history. Hypersensitive! So tense that I quiver if a hummingbird flies by the gym. All of it because there are certain peccadillos that my vanity simply won’t abide, such as not fulfilling my potential to its “chock-fullest”.

As for my brutish antagonist, I guess he’s just not the type that goes for the “jasmine” and “perfume” in my discourse.
.
We’ve “trashed”(talked) it out in the press conferences. And once I’ve disposed of him, kindly present them with the “grocer’s bill”, along with a hearty box of aspirins tablets. As for me, I intended to shut the newspapermen like clams, when I dispose of the Baltimorean in fast and thorough fashion.

Have I been spartan in my preparedness for the big one? Indeed I have, thank heavens. As for his coaching, I’d rank it as next to swollen-headed garbage.
.
I am of the mind to ask him, why does he come about preening himself on this tour. It comes across as fraudulent, as if he is preparing to perpetrate a swindle on the public. My mind is swimming with all of these preoccupancies. It makes me want to cop a gander at the ironclad contract I’ve signed.

I endow you with my talents and trust you to steer me straight and true. But commit this to memory… to put it mildly, I wish to be great, and I will not squander myself in epic debauches, as others have improvidently done before me. Old ghosts and former glories… now yellowing with antiquity and mixed with a good deal of grand fibs. Those storytellers are to be cordially not invited to the upcoming “blessed event”.
.
Let us proceed without any more digression, let us dispense with the rebop and every wishy-washy associate. Little more than dullards who have proven a bit on the imbecilic side, I should think.
.
Will there be hardships? Well, now, what are they going to be? I do wonder…
.
This business is (VERY!) capricious in nature, and its groupies are sure-enough “caprine” (and uninhibited) in tone and temperament. Some of these c*nts are so duplicitous in conduct… that they make me feel vomitous… Which may yet prove advantageous before the official weigh-in.
.
There are… “bulbous breasted” beguilements aplenty everywhere I gawk and rubberneck’em.
.
Sorry for rambling on… again and again I have misspoken as I traipse my way towards better verbal sleightness and the written word.

In “fresher” and more recent times, I have also gathered a number of plaudits from the press corps (even Ron Miller) as it regards to my communication skills.
.
The word(s) from the press row is that I’m sounding more mature, articulate (perhaps even more so in this particular tidbit of penpalling…) and poised than in years of yore. So… attentively give my very best regards and thankfulness to Miss Cecilia Zuniga.
.
It’s odd – but a much welcome change – how in the most virile and strapping of sports, most of our “crew” happen to be of the fairer gender.
.
With these new rhetorical skills, I feel as if my allure and drawing power is being projected morer adroitly, and in a more arresting fashion somehow.
.
It was something that needed to be put forth, as before I felt that in “speaking engagements”… I did not hold out much promise as a mouthpiece (as it befitted my status) for the sport or the company. It was “conduct unbecoming” for one who wishes to be the face of this particular brand.
.
It was almost as if before… I was less than desirable in my interactions with the media. And in truthfulness, despite my outwardly joyful… “heedlessness”, in reality, I was more of a “suffer-in-silence” type of wallflowerish kid.
.
In these heady days, even at worst, I’d gauge myself as a “guarded-optimistic”, and conjecturably headed towards an overweening sort of superstar, GOD willing.
.
Hopefully, come April 22nd… we “sail” into history.
If they’ll indulge me, I will do my utmost to cover us all in unambiguous glory.
I will give it/him everything I have… in my sincere and honest best effort. It’s time to go for it!
.
Always believe!
Thank you.
Your employee, “boss”, pupil and friend,
With great respect,
RYAN
