At some point here I'm probably going to grow out of it because I guess you grow up and you do

boringer things but I really like sports I still really like sports and I

especially like the kind of sports where somebody else tries to stop you team

sports where you're trying to out fox an opponent or a whole slew of opponents that's just a blast for me and I've played

You do enough things, you earn enough things, you bank enough goodwill with the deity or with the deciding forces in any given religion and then you gain status and eventually

maybe you earn so much favor that you reach Enlightenment or that you go to whatever
