I was never much in to watching professional basketball, but this season I am going to whether I want to or not. All I ever hear about is how the Golden State Warriors are breaking records and doing amazing things. Everywhere I look there are pictures of happy basketball players flying through the air about to score, or they are running around looking victorious after scoring a three pointer. All I have to say about that is…. what a wonderful change. I was getting so down with all the bad news and political meanness that was being shoved down our throats. Even though I have never had an interest in basketball, I am more than happy to watch people living their dreams.
