do I wanna be a baller?

this past weekend I in VA, somehow, someway it got out that I played ball…two people asked me about it…I am so not a ball player…my size 50 sportscoat hung off me quite nicely for sure, but the only ballin I do is on NFL 2k1. When I was going through the house building process, one of the good ole boys putting up the vinyl siding asked me the same thing. That offended me highly, but I didn’t say anything, because I didn’t want to have a mysterious draft in the wall down the road. and made me wonder if that was his first or second guess at my career. why couldn’t I be a programmer? why did I have to play ball? funny how relative prosperity is. If I was in the NFL, I’d be getting all brick sides in a different neighborhood more than likely.
