Last fall, I ended up going to Special Olympics basketball learning how to do basketball drills and stuff like that. I didn't think too much that I was going to be in a tournament them almost weekly the tournaments, but it was very interesting. I tried to avoid them, but there was one that I ended up going in February when I wanted to play my guitar, but I ended up getting a gold medal. That was the first gold medal and it was a shock to be honest with you. This was my first anything tournament since a taekwondo tournament and I was like I got a gold medal, my team got gold medals and I need to see a psychiatrist because I don't usually see this happening to me or any teams that I'm on but there it was right there a star fart!   You wondering why I called them that because gold is from exploding stars exploding stars create everything from silver gold and bronze the medals you get when you win first second and third place that being said, I ended up getting the gold along with my team which was very unusual for my taste because I never get anything when it comes to tournaments or games or anything like that but lo and behold there it was!
I was getting gold medals and then come the day. My grandmother died April 20. I remember there was another basketball tournament. They weren't supposed to have medals and yet I got two gold medals for that two star toots for playing my game and I played it and I played it with a lot of fun. I was hoping to get the biggest smile trophy and then getting second place for that not the trophy because I didn't smile enough. I thought I smiled more than a goddamn flight attendant, but that's the point I guess some people didn't think I was smiling too much but I ended up with two gold medals. I don't know why too, but that was what happened anyway.
Basketball is fun and fun is supposed to be for a fun game and to be with friends and to enjoy your time on this planet that's why we have basketball. I think it used to be for soccer players who would get SA or seasonal effective disorder in the winter time in the old days, that's when James Naismith came up with the idea of, but that's when I ended up realizing that this was actually my time and effort not because I was getting gold medals but because I was making friends with like for example a guy named Toby his name is Tony, but he ends up going by Towy! 
That guy, other than my boyfriend was a real sweetheart. He was only relegated as a friend because I have a boyfriend at this time and I might be long time before I can date again because it's a very happy relationship not that I want to date again or anything for that matter . My boyfriend is very kind person and old soul and a decent human being and wouldn't lay finger on a human being in an angry or aggressive manner so that being said, I'm very happy to have Kurt with me in my life and usually I'm able to go on his team usually What do you call it a tournaments it was very interesting to tell you the truth to bunch of ribbons I should've capped. I think I kept them in box and then I got three gold medals and then when I went to ball hockey at the end of ball hockey I ended up with a medal as well as silver ones saying most improved! Jareth goblin king watch out! As there is a new ball master!
