Is our secret safe tonightand are we out of sight Or will our world come tumbling down? Will they find our hiding place is this our last embrace or will the walls start caving in? |

Monday, September 27, 2010 Stay strong. Anyone out there who believes in horoscopes? Or don't, but read them just for the sake of reading, and then realise at the end of the day that 'hey, that's so damn true' I love team sports, doesn't have to be anything in particular, I'd watch anything on tv as long as it's a team sport, I'd stop to stare at a game I don't understand just to watch the bond between the players. It intrigues me. I know it intrigues you too. I particularly love watching the captains lead the players, without saying anything. Don't you get the feeling sometimes? When you're watching a game, and you immediately know who the leader among them is? I wish I could do that, I wish I could live up to that, to motivate my friends, my team, that we're able to do it as long as we do it together. I wish I didn't get angry so often now, I wish I wouldn't push the blame to something else when all I've to do is to control myself. I want to improve in basketball. "People don't just play sports because it's fun. Ask any athlete, most of them hate it, but they couldn't imagine their life without it. It's part of them, the love/hate relationship. It's what they live for. They live for the practices, parties, cheers, bus rides, countless pairs of shoes, water, Gatorade and coaches you hate - but appreciate. They live for the way it feels when they beat the other team and knowing those two extra sprints they ran in practice were worth it. They live for the way they become a family with their team, they live for the countless songs they sing in their head while training all those hours. They live for competition; they live for the friends, the practices, the coaches, the memories, the pain - it's who they are. It's who we are - we are athletes." You know, it's the little things in life that make you who you are today. |
