“You know it’s one of those things…it’s funny. You get a lot about guys who love to talk about metals..or ask questions about metals. No marine whose been in combat cares about that, they don’t mean sh*t..you know…you really…It means nothing to you…it comes with a lot of pain. If you were given a high level metal in combat that means… men were seriously hurt…if not killed. And you’d give anything to have those wounds given back…you’d give that metal back in a heart-beat.”

There’s always a hidden message when she talks to you. A little bit of truth behind every ‘I don’t know.’ A little bit of curiosity behind every ‘I was just wondering.’ A little bit of emotion behind every ‘I don’t care.’ A little bit of pain behind every ‘It’s okay.’ A little bit of love behind every ‘I hate you.’ A little bit of ‘I need you’ behind every ‘Leave me alone.’ A little bit of ‘I miss you’ behind every ‘It’s been awhile.’ A little bit of jealousy behind every ‘She’s really pretty.’ A little bit of fear behind every ‘I love you.’
You are a fading dream, but one that has been touched by reality. Run, dream. Run on into the daylight. And walk into reality.

Today is the 50th birthday of Jeff Van Gundy. The former Knicks and Rockets coach may be best remembered for his role in the famous Knicks-Heat brawl of May 1998. As Charles Oakley and Alonzo Mourning squared off, Van Gundy famously grabbed onto Mourning’s leg to prevent the fight. Van Gundy is now an analyst for ESPN’s coverage of the NBA.
