Quotes
Love is a minefield. You take a step and get blown to pieces, put yourself back together again and stupidly take another step. I guess that's human nature. It hurts so much to be alone that we'd all rather blow up than be single.
We have no say over the hand dealt us in life, but we do have a lot of control over how this hand is played. We are responsible for bringing out the meaning of our own lives in each moment that we live. Remember each moment happens only once and can never be retrieved again.
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.
Friendship
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me
The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.
A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

I had a 3on3 competition at Macpherson CC today. We got into second round, then lost. 1st match of the second round, total humiliation, 1-8. I could've did a whole lot better, but i didn't. Fuck. They revealed my weakness. Not only that, I played really rough. We didn't go down quietly, but the score said otherwise. The second match of the second set was for 3rd and 4th placing, against a team we just beat. What happened ? WE LOST. BY A MEASLY 1point. You know what's the worse thing? I had the final shot, but missed. The ball just caromed off the ring. I missed alot of easy shots too.
Yeah, I've calmed down alot now from this afternoon. You win some, then you lose some, but losing still sucks to the very core of suckiness. I was suckish. And you know it's bad when one is not bad but suckish. After the last match, I srsly wanted to just take out my shoes, toss them at the ground, pack up and leave. But I can't, I had to keep my temper in check. My team mates were there, and if i did that, it would seem like it was their fault. So I just sat there. Thinking about everything. Why I missed so much, causing us to lose. And most importantly, what can I do to go further.
I find that my first thought after losing an important match is always whether I should give up basketball. ALWAYS. Being 160cm tall, playing basketball obviously should not been my sport of choice. But regardless, I was drawn to it. I would be reminded at that moment that that was why I fell in love with the sport. The never ending struggle. The insatiable drive to score. The sweet victory when we win. The delicious sound of the net as the ball goes clean through. The irreplaceable delight upon delivering the perfectly placed pass. The triumph of the short guy upon grabbing a rebound. I love it all. I love every single aspect of basketball. That's why I'm weird. I love it more than anyone else I know. I'm the weirdest person I know. But still, I'm still human. I have these thoughts about giving up just like every one else, because it's just easier. It's easier to stop striving, never improving, just sitting there and play, never doing anything that might increase your chances of winning. It's easier to munch on potato chips than to do push ups. It's easier to go listen to music and drink green tea than to get up and do physcial exercises. It's easier to just sit here and blog about all the other stuff guys blog about than to think about what I can do to improve. It is so much easier. But I shall not do it. As I have been told before, or read on the glorious internet I forgot which, if it's easy then it's not worth it. There's a reason why it's hard.
On a completely unrelated note, I'm cutting my hair. For work. Lol. Oh. And I'm starting up a basketball blog sooner or later. Wait for it!
