To Be Thankful

In the last few days I've reconnected with two important parts of my past. One of these is a friend of mine with whom I've faced life and death with, a baller in sport and in his nature and most importantly a good man who deserves the world. The other is the girl I compare every girl I've ever met since her to. She set the standard. It's been a insane journey with both of these people, full of laughs, mistakes, and a fair share of heartbreak and pain. I find myself fortunate today to have them both in my life in their own ways. I can only hope the future holds good things for the both of them, and for myself as well. The world works in its own ways, and for this I am thankful for today.

Bloodlust: An Arrow Fanfiction: Chapter 7: Right in the Bollocks

Chapter 7-Right in the Bollocks Those dead eyes cast back no glimmer of recognition at Oliver’s question. “Tommy?” Oliver asked again as the blue-eyed assassin walked up to Oliver and withdrew an arrow from his quiver. Examining the green painted head of the arrow thoughtfully the assassin tapped the tip until it punctured his onyx colored glove.   A drop of crimson escaped the fresh gash and mixed with the forest green of the arrowhead.   Reaching down to pick Oliver’s discarded bow the assassin took a step back, turned, nocked the arrow and drew the bow string back to his cheek. “Don’t do it,” Oliver said watching his captor take careful aim in his direction. The assassin’s grip on the bow string loosened.   With an echoing twang the bow string jumped back into rest position as the arrow sped out from the bow toward Oliver. “Aaaaarh!” Oliver screamed as the arrow pierced his left shoulder at the joint connecting his arm to his torso.   A blaze of searing

The Soundtracks to My Life

I realized today how big a part music plays in my life. The world was so mundane. I mean straight boring today. The sounds of my life really define my moods and my actions everyday. I forgot my headphone in the morning and the rest of the day was just pure madness. It doesn't make today's suck go away completely but my music does complete me. Thank you to all my favourite artists and thank you to God for the gifts of hearing and music.

Basketball Colors

I had an interesting experience today. Jo, her sisters and I were playing in the park with two children of a family friend. The young boy and I went and shit some hoops on the nearby basketball court. We had a good time. The little snot can trash talk. He told me that my favorite basketball player, Kobe Bryant, sucks and that Steph Curry  was better. He also likes Ronaldo in soccer. We had a disagreement because I'm a Messi fan. It was all in good fun. He even invited me to his birthday party (just so I can buy him Ray Ban glasses of course). All of a sudden he stopped and sat down on the ball. He looks up at me and sighs, "I like your hair." Now my hair is a mess at this point. I usually style it in a side pomoadour, but it's never as full and thick as I want it because I have a mix of straight, wavy, and curly hair, not to mention it is fine hair too.  So I tell the kid that I like his hair too.  The boy had a short curly high top with a grown in fade. He just shoo
