Playing Basketball is a Community

To begin "Playing Basketball is a community." People who playbasketball share a passion for the game, and everything that goes with it. You can usually tell by looking at person if they play basketball. They wear basketball shoes when just walking around, they prefer wearing shorts over any other type of pants, and follow every part of the culutre that goes with basketball, such as the NBA, College Basketball, and even the And 1 Streetball tour. However, there is no such thing as identical players or games. Each player plays the game with different skill sets and carry out those skills in different ways. Some play with great emotion, while others play with the attitude of a silent assassin or killer instinct but never say anything or show an emotion. Some have a great swagger or style to their game. It looks smooth an effortless when they play, while others may not look good doing it, but they get it done. Still with all these different types of players, they all still share the same passion for the game and competition because at the end of the game there will be winners and there will be losers. I am a part of this community. My first word was ball. As far back as I can remember I have love the game basketball and everything about it. While playing I even been known to get into some small scuffles with my best of friends, but only because they share the same love that I do.

What's in your wallet?

If one was to look in the worn, black, leather wallet of Austin Revenig, the first thing you would notice a beautiful, dirty blonde, young woman posing on a rock in sunny Palm Springs and say, "Oh she is cute!" Then you would notice that there are at least four more pictures of the same girl standing with a much taller, young man. Hopefully, that person would say, "They are a cute couple' or "How did he get so lucky?" And I would have to agree with them; I am a verty blessed young man. Taryn is a very beautiful young woman. Her hair is no longer blonde, but brunette, and only about five feet tall , but she means the world to me. Once you get past the pictures you will come upon my Washington state driver's liscense. Age 18 Height: 6'3" Weight: 175 lbs. Eyes: hazel, and mug shot with far to much hair for my taste. Within my wallet there aren't many cards, just the necessities: Debit card, Drivers liscense, library card, and various gift and membership cards, and if you were to construct an identity bassed on these cards it would most likely go like this: Athletic, likes to eat, in to electronics, organized, and an outdoorsman. I definitely believe that based upon the info given you form a pretty good idea of what Austin Revenig is all about.
