Childhood memories

Here is a song for today's post: Howard Shore: Lord Of The Rings. So last night I was thinking about moments I remember the most from my childhood. Actually I was trying to figure out what's the first flash back I remember. It took me a while but I finally got it. So I turned all lights off, as well as music. And I was just laying on the bed with my eyes closed slowely moving back in time for about 15 years.

I'm in the kitchen and my dad just fixed some good garlick buttery toasts. It was about 6.00 in the morning. Everyone was still asleep. So we've talked, you know just silly stuff that six years old kid would ask his dad. And I remember I loved the piece of quiet in the morning. Since that time I would wake up earlier each morning. I guess I didn't wanna waste any minute of the day. My dad told me once: If you're gonna work hard people will repect you. So be precise with the little things and when it comes to bigger onece you'll be able to handle it. And I took his advice.

I remember my first love also known as basketball. Everything started with my older brother Mike. He started playing streetball with his friends and I would come to watch them. They were bigger, taller and stronger. But between games I was the only one on that court shooting hoops. And when everyone left I was still there utill very late evening. So one day they didn't have enough players and they were forced to use me. Ever since that day I was playing regulary with them. That's how I felt in love with the game of basketball.
