I FINALLY TURN THE DREADED 30

   So I have turned 30 years old back on Thursday May 3, 2012. I was not completely looking forward to this day, but it has come and past and nothing really has changed from 29. Now leaving my 20's was a trip for me. I look at the past 10 years and wonder not only where did they go, but also at the things that I have done and should have done. The day of my birthday was also very fun, my family and I went to the Giants game in San Francisco.

A GREAT DOCUMENTARY,THE TOWN GAME:TWO LIVES, TWO PATHS

   I just got done watching the documentary called The Town Game:Two Lives, Two Paths. It's about two home town boys of Oakland California. How they both had similar childhoods and were both great basketball players with the skills and dreams to make it to the NBA. They follow the paths of Demetrius "HOOK" Mitchell and Leon Powe. The documentary was narrator-ed by co-founder of The Black Panthers Party Bobby Seale.
   Bobby Seale tells the story of the two men and there troubles of there life growing up in Oakland. How both were great athletes and how there choices and the people around them helped with the path they ended up going down.
