attractive. also smart, funny, articulate, passionate and daring. probably crazy. very impressed. Also has something very important to say, listen to the interview.

We truly are numb to the travesties of the world. Was the world this screwed up when I was 7?

he's grabbed the rebound..he turns to run it up the court. He's not gonna get to do anything useful with it, he doesnt know it.

he runs up the court striding out and pushing the ball out in front of him. There's a shadow on him, chasing him from his blind spot.

The shadow is careful, he sprints hard to close the distance but quickly slows to make sure he doesnt show up in victim's peripheral vision. The place slows, the difference in distance closes inch by inch.

"Man on Man on"

Panic, what's going on? It's too late for him. The shadow has copied his pace, they are step in step and he can't hear where it the attack will come from, does he dare to look? does he dare to cross over?

The shadow has done all the thinking, just waiting for the moment...He begins his next dribble, its time to strike.

The shadow breaks pace lunges a few steps forward puts out his hand and pushes the ball out in front. With his new pace he runs ahead and regathers.

basketball rocks =)
