TAR HEEL SIGHTING

A couple of weeks ago I was in HARLEM. On any other day this would have been a REGULAR trip. But this day was different. As I locked the door and ventured into the city of NEW YORK, little did I know, New York would become TAR HEEL heaven. As I rode through the bumpy concrete roads, and took in the sites of this wonderful city, I happened upon a real basket baller... That baller was familiar only in the land of make believe. Only this was my reality. That baller is familiar to TAR HEELS and dookies and a few others scattered in... That baller is non other than Shammond Williams. Yep he was getting out of his car and I was about to get out. While in the car I asked him if it was him and he said yes, I said aww man I am a DIE HARD TAR HEEL FAN, he laughed and appeared to stop and was willing to talk, I just threw up the peace sign and he went on his way.... Sucks that I didn't have my TAR HEEL wallet on me because I would have confirmed it for him lol.

This is cool, I literally recorded game video of Shammond Williams shooting free throws so I could copy his form. At the time I thought he had the purest shooting form I had ever seen.

Yeah, he is a lot shorter than they used to say. They claimed he was 6'3 but he looked no more than 6'1 at best. I am 6'5. I wonder if he will ever consider coaching at CAROLINA. Doubt they give him a shot if Hubbie doesn't work out.

Shammond was one of my favorite players growing up. He was Steph Curry before anyone even knew who he was in my eyes.

Awww awesome. I had a chance to talk to him further because we were about to eat at the same place but I sent my sister in instead because I didn't want to appear awkward lol. I have never met a TAR HEEL before and when I tell you I was in awe you would have thought I met Michael Jordan lol. The weirdest thing is he was on the phone and I could have sworn I over heard him say "someone might recognize me" and ten seconds later I asked was it him. THANK YOU GOD for the exepreinces. GO TAR HEELS

Some rather notorious player from the NBA will open the 100th edition of the 24hrs of Le Mans

For the record, one of his best friend is Romeo Travis Who won the french championship with us (Le Mans) in 2018.

Pretty cool! I'm hoping to pick up a stream some where this weekend. I want to check in on Michael Fassbender driving with Porsche. I really enjoyed his Road to LeMans docuseries on YouTube. I thought I read, Jenson Button will be driving one of the Corvette C8.R's, but as it turns out, it's just a modified NASCAR, so less interested in that.

Shoutout to the Africa and China relationship. They have partnered in many ways which has helped both countries financially and politically. For many years other countries have just offered AID to poor countries which left them depending on MORE AID. Often neglecting to help these countries expand on things like their infrastructure, school systems, and value as a country.

You might want to look a little deeper into the stipulations around that Chinese "assistance"

Yeah I know it comes with a big DEBT factor associated with it but just about every country uses debt in some way or fashion. I think overall it should be benificial to both africa and china. China needs Africa just as much as Africa needs China. That is why they are so eager to help....

Deeper than that bro

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/business/china-reportedly-takes-over-ugandas-airport-on-account-of-loan-default/articleshow/87957646.cms

Countless examples of China going in and doing infrastructure projects and then "repossessing" them after the fact when the host nations can't cover the ever increasing interest.

Or they'll go in and build a port, rail line, etc for mining rights and use slave labor to do the work and strip mine for minerals, gems, or resources.

There's no benevolence there whatsoever. They're eager to help because many of the places they go to help are rich in resources but low on development and political importance on the international level

Yeah that happens. Every project doesn't go to plan. Each African country represents a vote in the United Nations which helps China. China has partnered with about 90% of African countries.

Africa has recources which China uses as well. So even if the LABOR factor doesn't pan out the votes and recources that Africa has is still more than sufficient to keep China's assistance flowing through Africa. China and Africa relations date back much further than just the railroad and infustructures of recent years. Can it go haywire...? Sure, but imo I see it as very beneficial to both parties involved.

Trying to understand the logic here.

I go to research a Dentist and on the specific site I use to research the dentists ratings with, they leave a bunch of things to know about the dentist besides the LEVEL OF CLEANLINESS. How can you not leave that as an option for rating a dentist level of cleanliness.
