The New Eleven

When I introduce myself to somebody for the first time there is a percentage chance that the exchange will result in a miscommunication. Inevitably I get my name confused as Neo. I’m usually all the way cool with that. That’s a cool name.  I think this  post is going to be special because I have put a time frame on it. I will not write past a certain period.  But if I set small limits I guess the gun pointed on my head serves as the proverb I cant keep quiet and let it out.   I have a letter dated to me with my name spelled wrong but I in a state of jubilance I looked past it.  What’s in a name? More over what is an Age? It’s a number.  That letter hit me really hard because it was something I wanted last year  and envisioned it in my mailbox.  It’s here and its just missing my signature. I signed a similar letter last year, but this year there were more numbers and they aligned. I got the letter yesterday, which means It wasn’t received on 11/11/11.

I was talking to my brother today who I think is the one guy who works harder than me, namely on the basketball court. For him, Basketball is Life. I wish I could say the same without a little hesitation in my voice pitch.

Me: Hey are those my NBA socks I been looking for?

Him: Dude I love them. Besides your wearing my socks

Me lol

We are a lot a like and the conversation eventually got to him telling me that He drank and smoked at a party. Which I knew was coming some time or the other, he created his own ranking system though and he ranked basketball over all the liquor. We see the same thing.  I love my younger brothers and they love me. More on it later as im reaching the time limit

If I was to make a wish, it would involve my environment. I don’t want a perfect environment, rather one that will forever require my input. Although im always very hapy with what I am given I don’t want happiness as much as I want to earn it. I want to know that I can have it all but its going to cost me. I want to be a champion bad but as a super senior in college I cant go back to high school. I wish for challenges and the strength to move forward.
