all star weekend
it’s basketball time, i’m vegging on the couch and watching the beginning of the all star weekend. Tonight there is the shooting stars challenge, the skills competition, the 3 point shootout, and the grand finale, the slam dunk contest.
The slam dunk contest has always been the highlight of the NBA all star weekend. From spud webb, domique wilkins, MJ, even further back to Dr. J in the ABA and even the most recent champions Vince Carter, Kobe, Josh Smith, I just love watching people fly through the air, twisting, spinning, creating…it’s just amazing. I can dunk so i vaguely, vaguely know what it’s like flying through the air, escaping gravity for the briefest of times. It an incredible feeling so i can only imagine what it’s like to be able to just float, gliding along, creating art in the span of seconds.
I’ve been cleaning up somewhat today. I unpacked a huge box of letters, basically every letter or card that i’ve ever recieved since i started college. It was definitely a trip down memory lane. Reading letters made me really miss some of my friends and i really need to make a stronger effort to get back into touch with people. I’ve been lucky enough to met and befriend some incredible people in my life. i’m a lucky bastard;-)
