more than a game!


Some people say that basketball is just a game but to me its so much more. The feeling you get when you hold that orange ball in your hands. Your heart beats with each dribble of the ball. Your face is hot, your mind is racing, you cant feel anything but the rumble of the crowd. to be happy in this world people think they need love,friends,pain,some good laughs.ect. but all i need is a basketball,backboard,hoop,and a net. most wouldnt call that happiness but it gives me all the things others want. i LOVE this sport, and all those 3 pointers i made i would call my friends ,the PAIN comes from the extra sprints you put and all those crunches, and i get all my GOOD LAUGHS from all the rediculous grunting sounds,stupid shots and every time i literally fall on my face. thats all i need. in this life,if you ask any athlete they would agree. we love that sweat dripping from every place imaginable,taking a nice luke warm shower after practice, drinking a huge glass of water before bed , and then icing your soarness while you lay there and take in all the glorious pain. that awful yet amazing pain within my body makes me pat myself on the back for not stopping no matter how much i wanted too. if you get this point where you love a "sport" so much that you could live the rest of you life doing just that and learn to love even the pain than you wont think of my as the craziest person on the face of the earth. Ball is my way of life and nobody will ever change it. basketball is life everything else are just the smallest details. live for it and everything will come together nomatter what the other circumstances are!



the experience of a life time!
Current mood: determined


some long for an acting career, some desire being artists, but i fight for want i want! holding that state baksetball throphy in my sweaty palms with a huge shaking grin on my face, and tears gathering in my eyes remembering how far ive come from being that little girl practicing in a drive way, resiting my fruture interviews over and over, while trying that reverse layup for the millionth time. My goals,hopes,dreams,love,courage,co
 nfindence,and hard ass attitude to achieve make up 99% of me. i want to remember forever how hard i worked for everything so i can pass on the wisdom to others who doubt themselves. i want to have this experience and im not too afraid to give up everything i have to achive it!





the love for pain!
Current mood: determined


Most people want to be something thats amazing ,someone that everybody looks up to no matter how short they are ,but dont have the confidence,will power, or determination to finish it in the end. They wine and moan to the pain of becoming this amazing SOMEBODY! But some love that pain and loss of breath, some live for that! While they feel this pain coming into them its like happiness. It makes you think of how much stronger you are becoming , but not just phyically but mentaly.The pain of the mind is worse than the pain of the body Somtimes i get so hungry for this great yet unbarable feeling. when i say unbarable i mean to an average person who doesnt understand mind over matter, or have the desire. The people who thrive for this unexplainable enjoyment are called crazy by some but they are what i like to call "ATHLETES." When your body is throbing, your heart is pounding, you can hardly breath and think its time to stop, remember there is a person just like you that has the same hopes and dreams and is practicing maybe at the very moment you are and even by practicing an extra 10 minutes will help every bit. Push it past the limit every time! if you dont you will never forgive yourself. youll always be thinking about how good you COULD have been .Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. Every day should have more ente
