Thanks man.
Right now Im back in school after a 6 month break, going for my second masters degree in economics. Actually I started playing ball again for a different team,was in a really good shape (that was the only thing going for me this summer), but some more minor injuries slowed me down about a month ago. Its still allgood, cuz Im geting some playing time and fighting to get that rustiness off me after 2 years of rehab and almost no playing time at all.
And for the first time ever Im in love
The rest of my life is a huge mess, from having a crimial case pending, having trouble with finding money to pay bills, having a bailiff on my back, smashingmy car to the point it can no longer drive and fixing would cost more than than that car is worth, to having issues with my mom, whose life might be even abigger mess and Im the one she counts on to support her.
Its all good though, Im blessed cuz Im still alive and I know it just cant bring me down

1. I want to be one of the best latin music DJ's. And a really good and unique overall DJ. Im currently in the process of slowly getting my equipment torecord mixes and put them online and also practice on what i already have. All i do is listen to music all day and different online radio stations and lookingup music from older artist and reading about older music and finding new music now to have a diverse selection in my music library. I hope to start doing clubsbefore summer of next year and just cruise along and make good mixes and get my name out.
2. I also want to start a movement to bring a big change to music. There is alot of good music now but its all just hot music or just really good but nothingnew, maybe i need to listen to more music but atleast where i live and the radio nothing new is being heard. Its just the same type of sound and its stayingstuck or older types of sounds being brought back. Music is important to me and i wanna leave my stamp in musical history. I also want to be a great audioengineer and producer. I want to learn to capture the essence and science of sound and sounds and incorparate it into my production. Something hot or gooddoesnt cut it for me. I want to make new and unheard of type beats. Im going to go to music school in janurary and have a good feeling that my ideas of thetype of sound im looking for is going to start there.
3. I also want to learn to speak more and be less shy, when im around people i know im a goofball and consider myself somewhat funny, but for some reason itheres times i dont make the effort to get to meet new people instead i wait for them to talk to me. Little by little im working on it but the progress isnt asfast as i want it to be.

damn we got some of the same issues I crashed my car and it aint worth saving and I cant play for my school squad cuz the money for next semesternow gotta get a car so I gotta find a job to even go back to school next semester. I had a a bad knee problem and rehabbed for over 8 months. And my girl leftme to go back to some fool who put her in debt and beat on her. My focus is greater than ever though. just finished my 6am workout got two more and school forthe day. Nothing and I mean nothing can stop me. Im not worried the past is the past and im gonna make it at all cost, if it means sacrificing everything in mylife. Keep pushingOriginally Posted by Ballin all day

You watch your diet? Put in the proper amount of protein and everything? Because with that type of workload it is really essential. When you train like thatyou should try to get to know as much as possible about your body and the way it is supposed to be treated, cuz without that all the work you put in can have areally negative effect on you. You should also get the proper rest, so you can gain the most out of it.
Im back playing ball, but actually about 7-8 month ago I thought I would never do it again. I had a chance for something better 3 years ago, I didnt blow it,but didnt actually shine like I wanted to. Still it was good enough to let me start thinking about somehow making it. I really used to want it so bad, butafter 2,5 years of fighting with injuries and everything else I just discovered I dont want it so bad anymore, more like I dont know what else is there for me,cuz thats all I do. After another injury I just quit the team and focused on weightlifting. It was so fun for me that I could spend whole days working out,just like previously with ball. During the summer I started playing pickup and it went from there, right now I just want to have as much fun as possible withit. If a chance comes I will think about it, but right now thats not my main focus.

Great post....oh financial freedom, cars, family...blah blah blah. Who doesnt' want that?
But for real..continue to grow my custom shoe ventures: Evolved-Footwear.com (mypersonal work)...and my general custom sneaker site/brand: PaintOrThread.com. PaintOrThreadhas a lot more potential to be a job/career since it is a general news blog about custom sneakers. Got lots of great ideas for it...just need to focus a bitmore..great things have already happened so I know the potential im sitting on is wasted everyday I slack.
These two things will hopefully allow me to travel to as many parts of the world as possible.

Play basketball for a living. NBA would be a dream come true, I love the atmosphere and absolutely EVERY perk that comes with the NBA (even the volunteerwork)! Every time I'm at the Air Canada Centre, I get so pumped up and happy.
Although the NBA is highly unlikely since I'm already 20 and it's hard to find leagues to play in, I'm not gonna give up. Regardless, I don'thave a problem playing in the d-league for the rest of my life... I just wanna do something basketball related.

I feel you OP, We got similar goals, my ultimate goal is to become the first widely know Asian basketball player in the NCAA and then in the NBA. My currentgoal is to make Varsity this year, I'm a junior in HS. I''ve been working hard everyday since the beginning of the summer, this will be my firstyear on any basketball team ever. try-outs are in 5 days, I'm psyched and nervous, to see all my hard work pay off. It's gonna be the begging of a longroad to success, filled with lots of blood, sweat and tears. I'm already basically devoting my life to basketball, I go to the gym everyday and spend 2hours there lifting weights and doing drills. I go home do my hw and go to the gym, this is my life everyday, even on weekends. I know I can make it. I amgonna make it. The odds are even more stack against me, since I'm so skinny (5"11 and about 130 lbs), of course I've already started taking somemass-gainer powder.
For all you haters out there, I don't care what you think. My belief is stronger than your doubt. Your hate just fuels my fire
!!!!
To the OP: Best of Luck to you, I believe you can make it

well let me give you a little insight and some honesty, you may be working hard and be a good player, but trust me unless your a superstar thecoach is not gonna give you the shine you want out the gate because he already has players in place that he trust. this is just politics of the game I had tolearn. Don't make my mistakes I was better than the people on the team in highschool but they had been there so instead I decided not to play and went backto my old school because I wasn't gonna get the playing time I wanted. Big mistake pay your dues, out work everybody and next year takeover. Trust me onthis, in life and sports you gotta pay your dues sometimes. So keep all this in mind and stay focused.Originally Posted by JLking
