Who Is That Guy???
"When I was a child I spoke like a child, thought like a child, reasoned like a child; when I became an adult I put aside my childish ways"- 1 Corinthians 13:11
As I get older I find myself learning more about myself. I find myself becoming happier with life and where I'm headed. I see what the many influential people in my life have been saying. The "you will thank me for this later.." is starting to make sense. I thank God that I can look back on past experiences and say, " wow I def. wouldn’t have done it that way before".
Moments like this, when I reflect on my own personal growth I see the positive changes I’ve made and see many more still to be made. Where I would have settled in the past, I find myself asking for more. In my school work I see much more effort and my grades reflect that. Where I would have responded with anger, I find myself more level headed. I have made my share of people hate me in the past, but I can say I’ve lived and learned from that at this point. I don't regret the past, only accept its occurrences and call them experience.
When I look at the people around me I cant help but think, "how long is this going to last?" speaking about the immature mindsets of some people and the negative actions that they take. Honestly how long can one live life valuing material possessions over the future? How long can one talk about, "bitches and hoes"? and even How long is too long to hold on to a dream? And when I say that I mean how long can you live of off statements that start with “I want to” without actually doing anything to work towards this dream/goal/aspiration?
At the end of the day a dream is just a thought. A goal is that dream formulated into a plan, and once that happens, then, can you be on your way to actually achieving something and not just wasting time talking. Not to say dreams are bad, but my point is to not settle for a life of “I’m going to” or “I want to” with doing nothing to actually do anything.
I only write this to ask, can anyone see their progression?…and is this the change you wanted? It’s never to late to better yourself, but at the same time what’s stopping positive change from happening now if it hasn’t already? Coincidentally the New Year has started, the clichéd time of "change" and self-betterment and too many times do I see this time assigned the greatest of dreams. January is just the first month of the year, not the first day of your life. Similarly January is not some wishing well that you throw your empty promises and misguided statements at. Contrary to the fact that the word “resolution” is synonymous with the beginning of the year, it is not then only times these can be made. To just be real for a second, a resolution is just a verbal or mental declaration of intent, nothing more and nothing less. Lets not get wrapped up in empty promises and make 2010 the year of accomplishments.
As I grow up I see myself becoming more of the man I strive to become. I see past friends making excuses for why they aren't where I am and I don't see those whose past choices didn't allow them this time for reflection.

White Men Can't Jump...
I racked my brain attempting 2 think of a cool intro sentence 2 correlate with this news story I came across earlier. Then I realized, there wasn’t 1. The story speaks for itself. It’s 1 of those articles U read and with each line U become more and more astonished it’s actually true. In that case, yes, an all-white basketball league in the works is true.
A new professional basketball league boasting rosters made up exclusively of white Americans has its eyes set on Augusta, but the team isn’t receiving a warm welcome.
The All-American Basketball Alliance announced in a news release Sunday evening that it intends to start its inaugural season in June and hopes Augusta will be one of 12 cities with a team.
“Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league,” the statement said
So basically it’s going 2 be a league full of Klansmen who just so happen 2 have a jumpshot? Great, racists who know how 2 run the triangle offense. Just what the world needs. Don “Moose” Lewis, commissioner of the All-American Basketball Alliance (AABA), maintains the league is NOT founded on racism. It is, however, about morals and those classless slam dunks and ignorant behind the back assists.
“There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing,” he said. “I don’t hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here’s a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like.”
Lewis said he wants to emphasize fundamental basketball instead of “street-ball” played by “people of color.” He pointed out recent incidents in the NBA, including Gilbert Arenas’ indefinite suspension after bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room, as examples of fans’ dissatisfaction with the way current professional sports are run.
“Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?” he said. “That’s the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction.”
If there ever was an effective example on how 2 hustle backwards, best believe this is it. But if the NBA isn’t your cup of tea, U can find perfectly run lay up lines in the AABA.
No word yet if Rush Limbaugh will be honored at halftime of the league’s 1st game.
