people have this perception of me that all i care about is sex and basketball. this is part where most people would say that no one knows them or denies it all, but i can't do that. that perception is completely accurate. for the last few years, that's all i've been about. i go to practice. i work my ass off. i leave then go out. find some random girl, sometimes not so random, and well the rest is obvious. am i happy? you fucking bet i am. i love my life and wouldn't change it for anything. though it wasn't always like this. at one point it was straight up basketball. that was the only thing going on in my mind.
back then it was a lot different. i still had a ton of friends, girls still wanted me, but both aspects were a lot less extreme. it was mostly about ball and school. yep i actually cared about school at one point. not sure why, i barely try now and im well off. but before i would actually do my homework and shit. now i can't remember the last time i actually did homework. luckily im pretty bright and got a great memory. ask jd, he calls me the sponge. but yeah life was so much more complicated back then. i actually cared about shit. to be honest, i never understood why. it wasn't for me. it was for my absentee parents. the ones that were always working. my mom was always down at the hospital, my father down in miami coaching football. both jobs obviously needed dedication, but what they did do to make time for it, was basically let me grow up on my own. well i had my older sister aria too.
when the rents officially split, that's when it seemed like they stopped caring. it took a year or so from when my dad got the coaching job down in miami for it to happen, but the split was inevitable. with that, mom buried herself in her work and left me and aria to fend for ourselves. now i'm not going to talk about how tough it was for me. it was actually pretty easy. our family has money, so i basically did what i want anyway. and i got a smart head on my shoulders, so i didnt do anything too stupid. nothing that could hurt my chances of playing ball in the future anyway.
what caused all the change and made everything easier? that would be jace moving to boston. jd was the worst influence possible for me. well i guess that would depend on who you asked. in my opinion, he was the best influence for me. i became care free, basketball being the exception, and im out living my life instead of worrying about stupid school bullshit. come on, what guy would complain about doing the one thing he loved and sleeping around? for the most part, it's hard for me to get close to people. like i said, i have a ton of friends, but there are only a remote few that i would actually talk to about shit. of course jd is one of them. the fact that he shares the same love for basketball, made everything a lot easier when it came to trusting him. and now, well that illiterate douche bag is basically my brother. and honestly, i wouldn't have it any other way.
we practically ran the high school. you've seen in the movies and tv shows how star athletes are treated, and it might be a bit exaggerated, but its not too far off. high school was great though, and life just kept getting better once college came around. jd and i are both in the national spotlight when it comes to basketball now. tennessee is a big time school, it wasn't my first choice, but its good enough. the parties are way better too. and lets not forget how many more girls there are for me to charm. life is good.
