Adrenalin junkie

Adrenalin junkie by Ahmed Zahid.
Adrenalin junkies fret hormones from the peripheral morons

Is this soccer?
Tickle me. I don't know.
But I do know that these boys are not so crazy about some Michael Owen or
some David Beckham. I DO know that that there is no fanfare of spectators...
Nor is this any carpet grassed Million Dollar stadium, nor is anybody wearing
any crude designer jerseys.

Why, then? You may ask, is this game any more special than the other.
The answer lies in the mind.

It is a powerful, mind intoxicating game that requires total commitment from
the brain and the body.
The brain pumps hormones to fire-up vital organs such as the
heart, lungs and kidneys which team-up with the physical body to become one
powerful machine capable of cutting through rays of light.

It is the right game for the right situation.
The only game perhaps, these boys can count on, for some enthusiasm,
in a life of misery.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


1. 130 of the Worlds most powerful leaders meet in New York, USA.
The distinguished people play a game of deceit, shrewdness and
procrastination which is coherent with some political agenda.

2. A bunch of young, homeless boys meet at the local playground.
The boys play a high-caliber game that tells them to live it up!
Forget the misery - Fuck everything else.

Both are games. Both are real.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


FACT: Nine months on after the deadly tsunami in Asia, little is being done
to help ease the inconveniences of the deprived. Entire island communities
have been relocated and housed in cardboard sheds, (background in the pic.)
with few or no Amenities.

Sad.

If it was not for the top background I would have said that they are playing football on a cloud. Like the effects, shadows, light and the action itself.
