Missing The Old House: Green River By Credence Clear Water Revival

Last year, I blogged about my old house where I used the song "Barry Town" by Steely Dan for that post. Still reeling from that stupid escapade, I remember the good times that me, my brothers and my friends had back there. Life was way much simpler back then and there was always a place to hang out with since it was so large. The good about that is there was always a corner where one could retreat to and just chill. Missing that old house reminds me of the song "Green River" by Credence Clear Water Revival.

Man life was so simpler back then. That was always a place of magic and mystery where there was always something going down on a weekends. Even when nothing was happening, you can simply chill the whole day away without a care in the world. I had a lot of fun living there. It was our own version of Never Never Land.

Sadly, things are different now. Getting genuine down time is now a rare commodity. Worse part about is whenever I pass by the old road leading to my former residence, I can't help but feel a stab in the heart realizing that it's no longer there. Sometimes at night, I remember the place the way it was back then and all the great times that we had which so much fun. Maybe if some miracle would happen, one day I'll back there and the old place restored to its old glory and the good times are back again

Basketball Everywhere: They're Playing Basketball By Kurtis Blow

long with the summer, there's also the season of basketball tournament where every subdivision in the city will probably be launching tournaments which might ugly during the heat of the game. A lot of people will probably think that I'm weird but personally, I hate basketball. Though I never cared much for the sport, when someone would suggest a game, you can bet they'll be playing until sundown. Whenever I hear the song, "They're Playing Basketball" by Kurtis Blow, it reminds me of how crazy people are to the sport as well as the reasons why I don't like it.

To be fair, it's easy why people like this sport because for one, you can play it anywhere so long as you have hoop and a ball and you're set. Secondly, everybody gets a chance not only to play but to score as well. Not only is it a good exercise for losing weight but it also builds stamina and trains every part of the body. I guess the reason why people love the sport is because of the great moves that players do on the court. Even if I'm not a basketball fan, moves made by Bird, Magic, Dr. J, Thomas, Jordan and other legends can make you stop what you're doing watch them do their stuff.

For me, the reason why I got turned off on basketball is because of the way my brothers treated me when they played. They literally turned insane during a game and I got the short end of the stick. It got to the point where I asked myself why am I doing this and quit. Apart from that, I could never watch anything on the tube during basketball season cause I always got out-voted which is something that really pissed me off to this day. Well, to each his own and if they like it and benefit from it, then by all means, play it.

P.S.

Personally, I think basketball is more dangerous than boxing or mma and if you don't believe me, take a look at the way they play around here.
