It’s almost here, the moment that I have been waiting for: The 2010-11 NBA Season!
While you may or may no be a fan, once again it’s my goal to try and get you excited for what I believe is the greatest sport of all time.

Finding the Balance
It's been a while, but I have not forgotten to Express myself...
College is interesting for me, I'm in my last year (hopefully) and finally I'm having fun in school. I've hopped around from school to school in my career and never once understood those who say "College will be the best years of your life". To be honest I still don't entirely believe that, but I do see some of the fun now.
Being a commuter my whole college career I've always looked to other places for my entertainment, always counted on myself to find something to keep me happy. I always dreaded school: It was get in, get my A, get out. This semester I can't say it's that way, maybe it's because I have finally made a name for myself to an extent or maybe it's just luck. But class is enjoyable because I have a good relationship with a lot of my peers. I hope I can run off this and leave with some good friendships.
It got me thinking tho.... you can try so hard to be great, to get that A, to get to grad school and you can succeed.
I have the privilege of staying in touch with a teacher of mine from college. She was that influential, life-changing type teacher you only see in movies, except I lucked that movie into reality. She has a life of her own, but I still got to see her this year and spend some time talking. And when I did, whether I was misled or not, I got the impression that she knew life wasn't about becoming an adult. It was about having fun. Never sacrificing your happiness just because society says to.
That's something I won't forget.
I see so many of my friends going crazy trying to get a move on in their lives, complaining about the pressures of work and school. Blaming their lack of fun on reality. Some of the things I've heard my friends say: "Play time is over, time to face reality"
or " It's my first day of work in the real world, bye bye social life". It's really comical to me. When I hear this I think back to what Ricky Williams once said:
So I know I'll always be in control.
I will never grow up to be an adult.
Some may shame upon this notion.
But ask yourself this, what "adult" is having fun with their life?
Tha Express will be back soon, I've been gone for a while and got a lot to talk about.
Next time: Back to my old self mixin in the comedy with knowledge. Talkin about the intricacies of guy and girl interactions.
"Come on man.."

But is it really worth it if you aren't having fun?There have to be other ways to make money. I always feel the pressure of life trying to kill me and turn me into an adult. But let's face it, that ain't ever gon' happen.
The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I see becoming an adult isn't the way to be.

"When you blame others for your problems, you put the power to change things completely in their hands"
