If a guy drew a charge on me, I tried to kick him in the balls.

People always say he can run and he can jump. So can a deer and you wouldn't put a deer in the game.

I think it sucks that in our country [the USA] there is such a double standard education-wise. Which part of the city you live in, or something like that, determines if you'll be successful, and that's not fair.
