The world is an odd place. I'm not even going to act like things are fine.

Hello there! Name's Niko. I'm just here looking for a sense of community. I wanna be able to do something that matters a little. I'm a furry and I love basketball. The only problem is that I'm not an analytic person. I don't like math so I don't really like numbers all that much.

However, you'll find no one more passionate about passively watching basketball. I even played a little in high school. I wasn't on the team, but I played pick up games and I was pretty good. I was told by my gym teacher that I would lead the team in assists by the way I pass. A nice compliment, I just didn't wanna play competitively. I was asked to practice with the team a few times so I got to play a scrimmage with the Varsity team, which was nice.

Shoot I'm rambling! Lemme just say this. I can't say I'm always on time...but you'll at least appreciate the effort I put in and the job will get done. With the pandemic ravaging the world, I could use a job...or at least something to do for a while. I've been making a lot of random custom team logos to use later on. I also tend to make custom Topps trading cards...stuff I would love to get paid for, but not really.

The world at large is a playground...that we all can't play on. However, those who take the initiative to try, they will have the best time.

I have been through the wringer a lot. I'd rather not tell you guys about it as I'm still kinda trying to register it even happened. However, I have been afforded a lot of opportunities and I have taken them...and squandered a few of them. However, give me a chance and I will no let you down like before.

"Opportunity will only knock once." That's a quote from my dad who, sadly, passed away in April of 2020. My family and I are still registering it. He always tried to instill in me some kinda lesson about the world and how, because I'm black, it's going to be hard to be successful. I have taken every single lesson and I try my hardest to live by them. He wanted me to start live streaming...but I still don't know what. Maybe one day I will figure that out or I'll get a suggestion. Either way, I'm trying to make the best out of the worst situations.

Success and Opportunity go hand in hand. You can't get one without the other.

Being a Furry, you would think I'm either deep in it or I'm a casual passerby. I'm actually an explorer or the fandom. I am a furry, but my extent of participation goes only to "see what's going on." I'm more than willing to join in, but I'd rather see than do. I guess that makes me an observer more than an observer.
