someone from my highschool died in a car accident
i googled him and found his resume
he was studying finance at syracuse
where he was accepted with a lacrosse scholarship
a lot of 'star' lacrosse players from my highschool
went on to study finance and become successful on wall st.
when i think about the behavioral patterns of successful
lacrosse players i think they seem very rational
and implacable, they are like 'hardened soldiers'
who won't say or do things that will make me angry
though what they do talk about won't seem that important
they will laugh at things that don't seem very funny to me
or may be very funny to me
they'll seem detached or dignified and have a worried
expression on their faces that seems healthy or attractive
that makes me feel calm
