Almost a year ago I took this job and moved away from anything and everything I’ve known. When I left I felt as if I was the mature man my father is. What I’ve come to realize is that the maturation never came, and I was up here being my same old retarded self. Once I realized this (late oct), I’ve been doing everything I can to be a better person but for some reason I still feel like a failure. I wish I could be strong, less tempered, better with money, less emotional, more giving/less selfish. I dunno, just felt like I had to write that. I know I still have a long way to go.
Still reading “The Book of Basketball,” but I had to post this quote from chapter six, “the hall of fame pyramid” where Bill lists 33 suggestions to improve the NBA.
“I wish WNBA scores and transactions would be banned from all scrolling tickers on ABC and ESPN. I’m tired of subconsciously digesting tidbits like “Phoenix 52, Sacramento 44 F” and thinking, “Wait, that was the final score?” before realizing it was WNBA. Let’s just run their scores on NBA TV with pink lettering. And only between the hours of 2:00 AM and 7:30 AM.”
Who is reading this?
