I have decided to add a category to this blog called “Baller of the Week” or “这个星期非常好的人”. First, I think I should clarify a few things.
There are a few D-Bags that seem to make recurring appearances in my life. Since I am such a benevolent person, I will disguise their identities by giving them fake names with the initials D. B. (D-Bag).
My ex-boyfriend, Dan Brown, always used the term “baller” to describe something that was amazing or cool. For example, “That gas guzzling hummer is so baller!” or “I landed a killer summer job at Fox News. I’m such a baller.” These realistic examples call into question why I ever dated this person.
For better or for worse, the term has stuck in my vocabulary. I like to use one ofUrban Dictionary’s definitions for the term: “Baller - One whose status in society has been earned by one’s possession of “game” (that is, proficiency at the game of life)”. I also like to say “baller” when referring to women, because it usually elicits strange looks and gives me the opportunity to launch into a feminist rant.
Therefore, every Thursday I will choose my Baller of the Week, which shall be someone who has aptly demonstrated his or her “proficiency at the game of life.” Someone with interesting viewpoints, composure, and a strong fighter attitude. Quite simply, a baller.
