Tony Hawk. back in 89, me and my friends took on the roles of Powell Peralta's Bones Brigade(Lance Mountain, Steve Cabalerro, Mike Vallely, and that Guererro dude). I grew out my bangs, got a bowl cut, and we would take over the Skatepark of Houston. granted, we were eleven... ------------------ fitter, happier more productive comfortable not drinking too much eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats) sleeping well (no bad dreams) no paranoia fitter, healthier and more productive a pig in a cage on antibiotics
I remember my little brother used to have one of those crappy, beat up clock radios on his bed. (and when I was little me and both my brothers all lived in the same little room...) And some nights we would stay up late with the radio turn way down (cause mom and dad would have killed us) to listen to the Astros games. On one of those nights the bases got loaded, and none other than KEVIN BASS himself came up to the plate... We were all crowded around the radio, straining to hear the announcer, but trying not to wake up our parents at the same time... I can still remember the announcer... "It's going... It's Going... IT'S A SLAM!!!!!" WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! We all went nuts... (then dad came in) ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain - [This message has been edited by DarkHorse (edited June 08, 2001).]
Actually, I didn't completely tell the truth. During baseball season, I was a combination of Andre Dawson (I copied his batting stance), Kirby Puckett (I was REALLY hurt when he retired early, still one of my favorite athletes), and.... JOSE CCCCCRRRRRRUUUUUZZZZZZ!! ------------------
Roger the Dodger and Earl. Dr. J., outside of differences in height, hops, hands, shooting and the finger role, I played quite similarly. After they came out with BB hoops that could be lowered, Akeem.

Baseball -- George Brett I played like he did . . . same positions, same type of batting (except I hit right handed) style and results, I even looked like him!! My first little league team just happened to be the "Royals" and I was 3rd Base. ------------------ blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Wow, am I the only one who wanted to be a food item??? Growing up, till I was about 8, my goal in life was to become a chocolate cake. I have NO idea why ... but that was my plan ... cake Rockit ------------------
