Off the top of my head and definitely paraphrased. Excerpt from a scene from a play I wrote in 1998 that was performed at DiverseWorks. Takes place at a party. Joining it in progress: Party in full swing. Girl enters from other room. Girl: Alright, which one of you ****ers gave me crabs?! Another person: Man, that girl's always getting crabs! Another: I know! She's so dumb! Another: Hey, who wants to dance? Another: I do! They dance. Guy enters from another room. Guy: Hey, any of you guys seen my cocaine? Another person: That guy's always losing his cocaine! Another: I know! He's so dumb! Another: Hey, who else wants to dance? Another: I do! Someone else: One thing I wanna do? I wanna make a list of all the things I've never done. And then tomorrow I wanna do all the things on that list... Another someone else: Hey, we should all do that! Another: Who else wants to dance? Another: I do! Et cetera. ------------------------ But seriously. All I wanna do is have some fun. I got a feeling... Or, alternately, all I REALLY wanna do is baby be friends with you. Take your pick. Either way.
I don't think I can come up with 10, but here are some: --shoot par on a championship golf course --get married and finally leave the single life behind --form a team and enter the Rodeo Barbecue cookoff (any ClutchCity.Net BBSers want to join me??) --visit several Asian countries (Japan, China, Vietnam) and Australia/New Zealand --take a trip to outer space --purchase a 1957 Ford Thunderbird --purchase an original 1952 Fender Telecaster
Well that somes up my thoughts on such an endeaver and the people to whom it appeals. Just like cocaine addicts. But, Batman, nothing beats dancing AND singing very loudly (and out of key) at the same time. You should write a play about that. I wrote a play once...don't remember what it was about. Maybe IBP can produce it. It'll sell, baby (as long as I also get to play in the starring role).
I normally don't point out spelling mistakes. I only do it as a special service for self-proclaimed intellectuals.
jump roping is a start. dunking is mostly technique anyway. a few different ways... 1. Start from the freethrow line. Dribble the ball twice going to the basket, with the momentum taking you forward take one gargantuan step until both feet are planted on the ground and the ball with both hands on your side, jump up as hard as you can, and throw it down with both hands. Try not to let the momentum take you too far underneath the basket, otherwise you'll end up arching your back too much and straining it while trying to bring the ball from under the rim. 2. If your right-handed, start from in between the left corner and the top of the three point line. run as fast as you can to build momentum, when you get to the midway point between the goal and the freethrow line make the last three steps of your run smaller than your first steps that you began with and take off on your right foot as hard as you can with the ball in both hands pressed to your stomach moving side to side . Before the momentum takes you past the goal, dunk it with both hands... or you may end up straining your back if you wait to late and have to reach for the rim after you've already passed it. 3. If you just don't have the vertical ability, your can do number 2 one-handed (you don't have to be able to palm the ball, but you must be able to balance the ball in that one hand). If your right-handed, start from in between the left corner and the top of the three point line. Run as fast as you can to build momentum, when you get to the midway point between the goal and the freethrow line make the last two steps of your run larger than your first steps that you began with and take off on your right foot as hard as you can with the ball in your right hand... an example of how to hold the ball is how a waiter brings out the food on the tray. The closer you get to the rim begin to move to ball away from your body with your hand still under it. When your at the rim, just drop the ball in the hoop (you don't have to turn your hand over) and grab the rim when you let go. Later when you get more of a vertical, you'll be able to turn your hand over and throw it down with authority. The one handed method is a bit easier because you can extend more. Hope this helps... probably not. I guess you just have to see it and practice. It helps that i'm "crackhead skinny" (6'1" and 155). I dunno... I guess the wind just takes me up there or something.
Thanks, these are the most detailed instructions on this I have seen so far - will try it! Just one little question...I think most right-handed people can jump off better on their left foot...
oops. sorry about that. numbers two and three... you'll have to jump off of your left foot. kinda hard trying to picture doing it.
Im already jumping rope, I will probaly continue another month or so. I probaly need a few more inches and learn how to get a good grip on the ball..thanks for the advice it should defintely help later on. cuz my techique probaly sucks as is
