Real Talk About Real Sports.

When I hear people bad mouthing organized sports, it pisses me off.
Not going to lie, I used to be one of those people. I used to be an intellectual snob who believed that sports and those who watched and played them were just inherently lesser than me. They weren't smart enough to give them a job elsewhere so they had to become "I AM MANLIEST MAN IN THE BUILDING LOOK AT MY MUSCLES BLARGH."
I took a step back when I started actually watching sports, namely basketball, but I've been watching others like football and a little live tennis. The amount of skill it takes to actually play these sports is beyond my comprehension. And now, when I see hate on athletes on Tumblr or Twitter or I hear people saying it, it just pisses me off.
And not only that but watching basketball has helped me so much with a lot of the problems I've been having for years at this point. I used to do this with TV shows and I've talked about it a lot on my blog. I connect with the characters and even more I connect with the actors. The problem is that I often don't get to see actors for who they are or in person.
With sports, there are ample opportunities to meet the athletes and you see the real (albeit, probably far more aggressive) person.
I don't know.
This all just occurred to me yesterday.
When I met a Timberwolf.

Say hi to me and Alexey we're so cute, I guess you could say. He probably thinks I'm psycho

Character Description Practice.

Her frame was willowy, an allusion to the once great Russian ballerinas, but while their steps had been laced with elegance learned through years of knowing their bodies, hers were like a newborn horses: Wobbly and unsure. And as sharp and catlike as their features had been, hers were weaker. Her lips melted into the rest of her face, a gradient of pink to white. With blonde lashes long enough to skin her brow bone, her eyes looked out-of-place, dark as whiskey and forever quivering.
The oddness of her looks was, all at once, discomforting and magnetic, with an emphasis on the latter.
