What's up Doc? Can we rock?



Mr. Shaquille O'Neal is a scholar in individuality. No matter how many nicknames you give him, he forever remains a genius in that, as an obnoxiously large person, he has completely redefined the overused expression "Live Big". I use the word 'obnoxiously' because the difference in height between Shaquille and I is depressing. According to ESPN.com, Shaquille is 7'1". If someone were to rest one of Shaquille's rims from any of his 34 cars from 1996 on my head, we would finally be a similar height. Remember dubz were extravagant in '96. These days if you are not riding on at least twenty twos (you can't lose, that's what's up) you might as well retire from the game us scholars (and Milton Bradley) like to call 'Life'. Shaquille is a rapper (not 'ternt sanga' like Thelonius Pain), a philanthropist, a backboard shatterer, sometimes a heart shatterer, never a pants shatterer, a specific fractional distillate of petroleum fuel oil, Superman on occasion, and always a Fu-Schnicken. Too many identities to count, and he's living each and every one of them B.I.G. Admit it to yourself, we all live multiple lives. Do we live them vicariously? Does Shaquille O'Neil feel that he is the real deal? Maybe. Let's question the way we live our lives. Dig it. Feel feelings and let's try to remember that Shaq is 'alidocious'.
