    You see, it is MY belief that your use of the measuring tape is what’s flawed. I still believe that your first attempt is always the strongest and that in fact, that basket was 10′ of regulation greatness. The tears of gratitude I weep right now are the same as those that leaked down my cheeks when Mark McGwire’s hit his 61st HR.

    Steroids? Who cares! It was the exhilaration of experiencing in person what I believed to be a moment in history and I feel the same way about this. Today, for right now, I choose to believe nothing but the achievement of your goal regardless of your shotty use of a measuring tape. I would like to see THAT replay.

    You keep working hard and envision the feeling of throwing down as you did on that first attempt and I will look forward to seeing your Dominique Wilkins tomahawk jam in the weeks to come. Here’s to you Jason! Keep on rockin’ on!

    Dude! You could have totally fibbed and I would’ve believed you dunked that ball. Didn’t it feel good?

    I totally cheered out loud at the dunk. Hands in the air and everything. The cat looked at me as if to say “wtf”. Then…. my heart was broken.

    Man, oh, man. I blame your move to Reno.

    Reno? I know it’s the biggest little city in the world but the altitude probably affected your lungs. Need more oxygen to power your fast twitch muscles.

    Also, I don’t know if you’ve noticed and I don’t really want to point this out but… you’re white.

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!!
