Dunk Attempt #13

Ohhhhh, Reno. I believed, for a brief moment, that you were the answer to my prayers, the cure for my every woe. But there is no mistaking the fact that I, clearly, was mistaken. It seems that your bright lights and flashing signs weren’t enough to wake me from this nightmare that is my nonathletic reality. All your talk of lucky breaks and big chances, of breaking the odds and creating miracles were not enough to put a little of your magic in my boots. I am, in Reno, the same dunkless fool who escaped the Emerald City of Seattle with his dreams of the famed Wild West, blessed home of the Tomahawk Jam, resting place of the beloved Windmill.

But this sad display will not deter me one iota.  I have six weeks left… 42 precious days in which to prove myself worthy of the seemingly endless idolatry that my legions of fans have bestowed upon me.  Your praise is well deserved.  I am as amazing as you have always thought me to be, I assure you… If not moreso.  Be patient, and I will lead you to the glory that only ThisGuy could provide.

Till next week….

    The glorious mountains of Reno are so inspiring, but I like when you get slapped and when your pants get ripped off. by the way, the next time you see U-man…will you tell him I miss him?

The Rundown
So, this is the deal. I turn 30 on November 22 of this year, and have come to the conclusion that the most logical manner in which to preserve my youthful spirit is to attempt to directly counteract the aging process. The obvious solution: to accomplish a physical feat that I’ve never before believed myself capable. After the contemplation of a host of potential tasks, I have settled on the one true test of my physical acumen… to dunk a basketball. Seeing as I hung up my athletic sneakers when I was 20 and vowed never again to break a sweat, it has become painfully obvious that I have a long, arduous journey ahead of me. I am on a workout regiment daily from Monday-Friday, rest on Saturday, naturally, and I video a “dunk attempt” every Sunday. So that's it... That's the whole shtick... I hope you enjoy tracking my progress, or lack thereof, from day to day, and from week to week. In the end, I'm quite certain that you'll be forever grateful for the opportunity to witness an aging man's ability to defy all odds, to break laws of nature and physics in this, his Quest to reclaim his youth before it is too late... Enjoy!!
