Space Jam

Space Jam.

I started trying to dribble when I was 7 years old in the year 1992. I started playing on organized children tri-city basketball teams when I was 8 years old in 1993 until 2000 (technically speaking) when I was 15 years old, and I still play when I can but not really on organized tournaments, except for a few times.

My dad and brother would watch the NBA on TV. I started rooting for Michael Jordan in the year 1993 or so when I was 8, I think, or something like that. The younger I was, the less I cared about the wellness and chemistry and teamwork of the whole entire team as a whole, and the more I would just care about my so-called role-model idol god, who just so happened to be Michael Jordan, and later it included Clyde Drexler, Damon Stoudamire, and others were added as I got older, like Kobe.

I like Bugs Bunny.

I like Michael Jordan.

Those were my two reasons for seeing Space Jam in the big screen in the year 1996 when I was 11 years old.

This is the one film that inspires me to play basketball and to go after my dreams. I this very inspirational. I got scared at the end. I did not want Jordan to lose and get stuck in the cartoon world forever.

I still sing that song:

I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky.

I think about it every night and day. I spread my wings and fly away.

I believe I soar, I see it coming in an open door.

I believe I can fly.........

Family Trip to Warrenton

Family Trip to Warrenton.

My dad drove me and the rest of the family to Warrenton, Oregon USA, so we could see our aunt and uncle, Karen and Jim Williams, and their kids, Nathan and Allan. This may have been the year that my dad drove us the long way, through Tillamook, which took around four hours instead of an hour or two. My mom had to go to the bathroom. She could not hold it. We went to a lake with our relatives. We went to the beach. Later, dad drove me and our family to the Astoria Columns (a tower on top of a hill) in Astoria, Oregon USA. I got lost there when I was 10 years old or so. This was one of our last trips together as a family besides maybe the year 2004 or 2005 or so.

Little Crystal Riding Hood

My older sister, Katie Jean Arnold, got me to play the big bad wolf in a bear mask from cousin Alan Williams (or at least he recognized it once), my younger sister Crystal to play the little red riding hood, and Lisa Evers as the mother and grandma of the little red riding hood, during the day after our dad came home with a camcorder for my brother's birthday which is on the 5th of February 1996.

We made the Little Crystal Riding Hood in the afternoon of Friday, the 2nd of February 2013.
