All the money in the world is great. The fame that comes with years
spent as an NBA star is priceless. But no amount of fame or money
will ever mean more to me than my love of situations resulting in
unlawful use of firearms.
It’s true. Nothing beats the delight of a weapons conflict with
gentlemen whom I childishly engage in vociferous and ardent debate.
I’ve executed game winning shots and purchased eight Bentleys, but
show my entourage and me an assembly of like-minded men willing to
engage in unwarranted gunplay and my blood really starts to pump.
(Hopefully not onto the sidewalk! But I jest.)
No I just can’t give up the sparkling thrill of a proper pistol
mêlée. Of course, sometimes the side of my Bentley will incur bullet
damage or one of my cohorts will suffer wounds at the hands of
opposing gun wielders. But just perhaps I manage to deposit a lead
projectile into one of my adversaries. Talk about a thrill!
It’s in this way that I stay young. It’s in this manner I keep my
riches and celebrity in check. The moment I allow my success go to
my head, I will have abandoned my past life of misdeeds.
Though I may encounter arrests hither and thither, that is merely a
component of my existence. Given the choice between gratuitous
criminal activity and millions of dollars, I’ll take my shot (No pun
intended!) at gun felony, my passion, my love, my everything.
