Saturday, April 25, 2009. Our season is slowly wrapping up here in Israel. This experience has been amazing, from living in a foreign country by myself, playing professional athletics, to meeting the incredible people here. There have been many challenges, a lot of ups and down, making for one hell of a ride. Links to this post. Monday, April 13, 2009. I read a few books by Eckhart Tolle a while back suggesting that humankind's greatest downfall is our ego. He is stunningly eloquent in his arguments,...

Sunday, March 29, 2009. Ends up I might never be a prophet. Turns out that modern day prophets might not even exist. It seems as though I am a 2nd division basketball player in Israel , not sure exactly what I want from life, other than to keep a smile on my face and love in my heart. I'm exhausted from trying to be something that people can look up to and follow. Where did this one come from? Well, I'll tell ya. It struck me that this exercise was symbolic of life, in that it is what you want it to be.

Saturday, May 16, 2009. All that really matters. I worry too much, so from now on I'm not going to. I am going to have gratitude for the wonderful things in my life. Those things that I don't have which I want I will work to obtain. I am also blessed to have the confidence to believe in that statement. Work is a necessary evil that must be avoided at all costs" Mark Twain. Do what you love. Or something like that. Nice post - good point of view. May 21, 2009 at 6:26 AM.

Tuesday, January 20, 2009. There's something innately wonderful about a dream. It contains at the same time your deepest wants and needs, along with none of the effort necessary to accomplish them. During your dream, you can be in your heaven without paying an entrance fee. Day by day as they say. Links to this post. Monday, January 12, 2009. The obvious answer is yes, but what about the world population? If disease weren't a natural control on our numbers, what would we do? Side note: If we can siffen o...

Wednesday, October 29, 2008. I have finally gotten mine back. After starting the season 1-2, we rallied with a huge win over a cross-town rival last night. I played most of the game, had 8 pts and 10 rebounds, but more importantly came with an attitude to kick ass that I hadn't had since my days at Minnesota. It felt really, really good. As a team we are just beginning to catch our pace, and if we continue to grow together, we could make some serious waves this year. Links to this post. I recorded my fir...

Monday, March 23, 2009. Sure, when it comes to technical jobs, formal schooling and education seems the logical path. But where do we learn "how to live"? Where do we learn how to make proper social engagements, and how to treat people that we interact with on a daily basis? For me, the answer was professional athletes, my parents and family, my teammates and also largely the people that I saw on TV. Yes, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air taught me that a good rhyme can lighten any situation. Perhaps this is e...

Wednesday, February 18, 2009. It's official,(according to my latest poll) god is the energy of the universe and whatever we want. I am so happy that I can finally put that question to rest and move on with my life. On another note, why does major league baseball seem so naive when it comes to steroids? I don't know about you, but I watch baseball to see 600 foot home runs, not pitching duels. If a little juice will make the ball go farther, why not? Links to this post. Friday, February 6, 2009.

Saturday, November 29, 2008. Been a while, and a lot has happened. I shaved my head because it started to smack me in the face when I was playing hoops. I'm back to the shaved head of my Minnesota days and it feels good. Ends up if you wanted to be taken seriously in this world, you have to look serious as well. I will be expanding my artistic repetoire in the next few months, and will be sharing my music and writings on this site when that time comes. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
