Aloof

"I think sometimes I miss out on good things by being too detached. Like if Obama walked through the door, I'd be like, 'All right, so what?' and finish eating my food. I never get too excited about things. I think sometimes if I could change that about myself, maybe I'd be in love, or not as alone. Maybe my life would be fuller or something."

I like Kevin Durant a whole lot. His game is so sweet and I love how, at postgame interviews, he buttons his collared shirt all the way to the top. I've been doing the same thing for a while now and it makes me feel like I'm not alone. It's vindication, of a sorts, to know that an NBA superstar does something ordinary and simple kinda like how I do it.

His demeanor in general just seems pretty chill.  I can relate to KD's sense of detachment. I feel like that a whole lot.
