lol psychopathic...
competition serves as a catalyst and as a spark in our evolutionary progress, if everyone felt one with each other, **** wouldn't get done. unification spreads love, but separation and individualism promotes creation. it is a fundamental aspect of life, even though it isn't as much today. the problem is just tagging losing to your personal value, which i will learn to overcome.
it's a funny thing too, it's not really the win that gets me goin, it's the tre, the finesse layup, the tomahawk dunk; the creative aspect of it is what really excites me.
liam, your story seems shockingly similar to mine; i wasn't very athletic and it seemed as if all i could do was study. i always loved sports and the competitive aspect of sports. growing up i felt like i had to prove something, to myself if anything. suddenly, i became very athletic in high school and the more i visualized the court and the ball to be a part of me, the better i became. it's funny how when you "become the ball" things become that much easier. hey, i didn't know david talked about kobe, is he a laker fan now that he's in l.a.?

btw, that quote by goethe hits the spot
