"and ballin' I'll always be."
--KD

It's all a TGT. Please, let us not forget that.

God bless.

"Défi à la force."

Toi qui plies toi qui pleures
Toi qui meurs un jour comme ça sans savoir pourquoi
Toi qui luttes qui veiles pour le repos de l'Autre
Toi qui ne regardes plus avec le rire dans les yeux
Toi mon frère au visage de peur et d'angoisse
Relève-toi et crie: NON!

(David Diop, Coups de pilon, Présence africaine, 1973)

"This is a triumph. I'm making a note here : huge success."

The importance of not knowing your favourite number.

Sometimes, I cheat in solitaire and flip four cards. Sometimes, I write in CAPS to make everything less boring. Sometimes, I fall asleep with my basketball. Sometimes, I wear spandex under my jeans. Sometimes, I'd rather eat fruit more than candy. Sometimes, I stutter. Sometimes, I walk into walls and trip over nothing. Sometimes, I make stories about the strangers around me, giving them reasons for being the way they are. Sometimes, I feel like I'm in a fairy tale and all the good things that are happening are just a wonderful dream. Sometimes, I leave my mouthwash in my mouth longer than needed. Sometimes, I forget to be grateful for what I have. Sometimes, I eat too much. Sometimes, I draw out plays in the margins of my school work so I don't forget them. Sometimes, I forget my water bottle. Sometimes, I'd rather be alone. Sometimes, I take quick, cold showers. Sometimes, I draw robots. Sometimes, I get annoyed easily. Sometimes, basketball is the only thing that makes sense anymore. And, sometimes, I talk too much. But, life is SWELL.

I'm making a note here:

I don't know what's going to happen. I heard it will most likely end in tears. I don't know what to think. Do we just dust the world, but keep it's luck and hope for the best? Do we stand our ground, and wait 'til the last possible moment to attack? Do we stand a chance? Is a fight what we want? Or is it peace and prosperity we need? Decisions. I hate making them. (Hate is a strong word.) *I severely dislike making them. I can't figure out the right choice. If I say one thing, it hurts someone, but if I say another, it hurts someone else. I want what's right. "What the catepillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly." (Illusion, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah - by Richard Back) Let's hope so.
