While Lamar Odom is expected to survive his terrifying ordeal at a Las Vegas brothel, the former basketball star isn’t completely out of the woods yet despite being transferred to a Los Angeles hospital.
There are reports of failing kindey’s and extensive rehab needed with the hope a semi-normal life awaits.
Needless to say, Lamar Odom will have plenty of time to think and reflect on his life, though that apparently was something the former Clippers and Lakers star was doing quite often leading up to his downward spiral, this according to Bleacher Report.
Odom spoke with Chris Palmer before the incident and suggested that he was seeking happiness, though had trouble finding such.
“Where do you call home now?” I ask.
“My heart,” he says. “Wherever my heart is and I can have peace of mind. Life can seem nomadic because I don’t know if I’m embracing it or running from it. I can go anywhere, but I don’t know where I want to be.”
“I’m searching,” he says. “I’m searching, but I don’t know for what. I can’t see what I’m looking for. I just, like, reach out and hope I grab something. But I don’t know what it will be because I don’t know what I’m searching for.”
“Happiness?” I ask.
“More than that,” he replies. “But that would be real nice.”
“What do you think about on a daily basis?” I ask, lobbing up a question he’s free to take in any direction.
“I think about a lot,” he says as he strips the spicy chicken from its wooden skewer. “I think all the time—about everything. My kids, my wife. But mostly I think about the mind. My mind. There’s so much going on. So many thoughts. I think about this life. About me. Who I could be. Who I was. Who I am. Who amI?”
“Who are you?” I ask.
“I’m a dying breed,” he says.
