00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.974
(By the fans for the fans)

00:00:00.974 --> 00:00:02.360
Sports and I, don't really get along.

00:00:02.360 --> 00:00:04.540
Well, at least in the second grade.

00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:06.320
I was very accident prone as a kid.

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:08.120
No matter what game was being played;

00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:10.720
I knew, I was gonna get hit in the head with a ball.

00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:13.220
It didn't even matter if I was playing or not!

00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:16.380
I used to brace myself for impact before going out to the playground

00:00:16.380 --> 00:00:19.540
because going outside usually went something like this:

00:00:19.540 --> 00:00:21.320
*Cute cheerful music, nothings gonna go wrong! :D *

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:21.820
**THWACK**

00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:22.320
**BAM**

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:23.040
**POW**

00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:26.160
It happened so often, that it just became a joke to me.

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:27.860
It got to a point where this one time,

00:00:27.860 --> 00:00:32.040
I bet my friends $5 that a ball nearby would hit me in the next 2 minutes.

00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:33.480
I knew that no matter what;

00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:34.800
it was inevitable.

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:38.360
We were a good distance away from the game so chances were pretty slim.

00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:39.640
[Friend]: "hhmMMMMMMM...

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:40.560
okay sure."

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.880
[Friend 2]: "Sorry, that's not possible."

00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:44.840
[Shgurr] "Hehe, [Inhales] just watch---"

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:45.820
**POW RIGHT IN THE KISSER**

00:00:45.820 --> 00:00:48.320
**WASTED**

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:49.000
**THUD**

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.120
Needless to say, I won that bet.

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:54.260
The nurse however, got tired of seeing me everyday.

00:00:54.260 --> 00:00:54.760
[Annoyed Groan]

00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:55.680
[Nurse] "This kid again."

00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:57.380
[Nurse] "What are you in for this time?" >:|

00:00:57.380 --> 00:00:59.320
[Shgurr] "A ball hit me." :c

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.260
[Nurse] "That was yesterdays excuse." >:|

00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:02.900
[Nurse] "Go back to class, your fine." >:|

00:01:02.900 --> 00:01:06.120
She assumed I was faking it and I don't blame her honestly.

00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.260
If someone kept coming into the nurses office everyday with the same excuse,

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:11.620
I'd probably get suspicious too.

00:01:11.620 --> 00:01:13.420
IT'S NOT LIKE I WANTED TO GET HURT! >:(

00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:16.600
Sometimes I think maybe someone was just tryna to hit me on purpose

00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:18.620
because it stopped like after a month

00:01:18.620 --> 00:01:20.340
but I'll never know for sure.

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:23.160
I made sure that if I ever saw another game in progress,

00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:25.700
that I would just INSTANTLY get out of there! *gotta go fast*

00:01:25.700 --> 00:01:29.200
Sports were never really my thing while other kids were joining sports teams,

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.160
I was busy drawing dragons and making comic books.

00:01:32.160 --> 00:01:34.580
I just wasn't really interested in playing them.

00:01:34.580 --> 00:01:35.620
I also wasn't too big on watching sports,

00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:36.520
 

00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:38.800
but my dad was determined to change that.

00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:40.700
My dad took me, my brother, and some cousins

00:01:40.740 --> 00:01:42.100
to see a Dodgers game

00:01:42.100 --> 00:01:43.040
when I was like, four.

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:44.960
we were really high up in the seating area

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:47.420
so I couldn't really tell what was going on.

00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:49.280
I just remember getting hot dogs

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.400
and my cousin biting my brother's hand

00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.120
because he thought it was food???

00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:54.720
I remember at some point the crowd

00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:55.640
stood up all at once

00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.760
and I was SUPER confused being the little beansprout I was.

00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:00.780
One of the players had hit a home run

00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:02.320
and it was heading right for us.

00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.160
the ball had flown over us

00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:05.040
so my dad thought,

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.480
[Dad] aw well I guess someone else will get it

00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.220
the ball hit a panel above us

00:02:09.260 --> 00:02:10.640
and went straight down

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:11.840
hitting me in the head.

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.500
my dad turned around just in time

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:14.880
to see this random guy

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:15.420
come up

00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:17.020
scoop the ball off my head

00:02:17.100 --> 00:02:19.000
and run out as fast as he could.

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.360
[annoyed sigh] its not- its not like like i wanted it or anything...

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.140
the sport I hated most growing up was Soccer (football :P)

00:02:26.140 --> 00:02:28.920
I actually wanted to pretend I was sick on those days

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.120
[Shguur] Oh, soccer today?

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:32.000
(fake cough x3)

00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.740
Oh no.... Im not feeling so well... oh nooo....

00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:38.720
Soccer in elementary school was just 6 kids

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:41.040
kicking each other around in a circle anyways

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.420
Heh NO thanks

00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:43.940
I need my shins TO WALK

00:02:43.940 --> 00:02:46.040
I'd say the only sports I actually enjoyed

00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:46.840
were tennis and basketball.

00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:48.940
Basketball kind of runs in my family

00:02:48.940 --> 00:02:51.340
I use to go to this all-girl basketball meet-up thing

00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:53.140
and I was always benched

00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:54.020
because

00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:56.020
I just kept making three-pointers.

00:02:56.060 --> 00:02:57.240
I passed the ball TOO!

00:02:57.380 --> 00:02:59.140
It's not like I wasn't a team player

00:02:59.140 --> 00:02:59.680
It's just

00:02:59.720 --> 00:03:00.960
If I could make a three-pointer

00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.960
what was the purpose of giving up the ball

00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:03.660
to someone else?

00:03:03.660 --> 00:03:04.160
y'know?

00:03:04.160 --> 00:03:05.960
The coach wanted to be in charge

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.760
It was HER way or the HIGHWAY

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:09.300
It wasn't a real team!

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:10.520
We were just playing for FUN.

00:03:11.060 --> 00:03:11.920
I've never really cared about

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:12.900
Winning trophies or

00:03:13.100 --> 00:03:14.440
being in the spotlight

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:16.440
I'd rather just play the game and have fun!

00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:17.080
The only game

00:03:17.180 --> 00:03:18.640
I got competitive at playing at was Knockout

00:03:19.720 --> 00:03:21.040
If you haven't played this game,

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:21.860
I reccomend it.

00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:23.880
You line up and take turns making a basket

00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.180
the first person shoots and attempts to make it

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:28.860
While the second person in line shoots right after

00:03:29.540 --> 00:03:32.220
if the second person makes the shot before the first person, the first person is out.

00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:37.280
you can also make it had for the first person to retrieve their ball by knocking it out of the way

00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:39.240
or you know.. by any means

00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:41.540
that continues until one person is left

00:03:41.540 --> 00:03:43.220
And I remember this one time

00:03:43.260 --> 00:03:44.740
I was playing with a group of guys

00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:46.240
And I was TOTALLY schooling them

00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.780
This one game, they chose a really hard place to shoot.

00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:50.180
And people were losing left and right

00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:52.740
I managed to get the second-to-last out

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.800
And it was down to me and this one guy

00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.000
named Josh

00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.840
Mano a womano

00:03:57.860 --> 00:04:00.440
All the guys were rooting for Josh to win, of course.

00:04:00.660 --> 00:04:04.400
We were both making shots like crazy when Josh started to lose his rhythm.

00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.560
With the adrenaline pumping, I managed to make two shots in succession and I lapped him.

00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:10.240
Ha!

00:04:10.460 --> 00:04:13.960
They uh - They never played with me again.  *sniff*

00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:19.980
In one of my P.E. classes, you could actually get extra credit by making three-pointers. I totally took advantage of that.

00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:23.920
Being creative little bean sprouts, my brothers and I would make up different games to play.

00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:29.520
This one game, we used to play on our beds. It was sort of like the floor is lava, except we used balloons.

00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:35.900
We would set it up where there would be two beds, parallel to each other. You would pass the balloon from bed to bed.

00:04:35.900 --> 00:04:39.140
Kinda like volleyball, except you had to use your feet.

00:04:39.140 --> 00:04:41.460
Using your hands was considered cheating.

00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.260
The balloon had to land on top of the bed, everything else was lava.

00:04:46.260 --> 00:04:50.280
Each time the balloon didn't make it to the other bed. the other person would get a point.

00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:53.940
my older brother and i used to obsessed with playing ping-pong

00:04:53.940 --> 00:04:56.640
We developed some kind of narrative? with each other?

00:04:56.640 --> 00:04:58.660
like, one person was the student and the other...

00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.520
was the master of ping-pong

00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:03.580
and every time someone made a point we would say thing like

00:05:03.580 --> 00:05:05.320
[dramatic] Hah! Eh! Huah! Eh! Hah!

00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:07.480
I have taught you well my son...

00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.120
[even more dramatic] Huah! Huah! Ha!

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.020
Looks like the student has become the master...

00:05:12.200 --> 00:05:14.520
[SUPER DRAMATIC] Ehh! Huah!

00:05:14.640 --> 00:05:17.100
Looks like the student needs some work...

00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.440
We also made up this game called "Bike Tag"

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:22.220
But, we only managed to play it a few times

00:05:22.220 --> 00:05:24.840
It was just like normal tag, except with bikes

00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:26.200
And I highly suggest NOT (safety first) playing this

00:05:26.200 --> 00:05:29.980
Being idiots, we thought "What was the worst that could happen?"

00:05:29.980 --> 00:05:33.320
The game was going pretty smooth, until I was tagged

00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:38.300
I was chasing my brother who had a scooter at that time *cough* kind of a hack

00:05:38.300 --> 00:05:41.600
I almost had him when he jumped up on the sidewalk, and escaped

00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:46.760
My bike crashed and I flew into the edge of the sidewalk, fracturing my wrist

00:05:46.760 --> 00:05:50.180
The fracture was on the growth plate, and so the doctor was just like

00:05:50.180 --> 00:05:53.100
"Ehh, let the body heal it self"

00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:54.280
Luckily, it was my left hand

00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.560
I can't carry heavy things on it

00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.540
But, I'm fine *pshh* whatever

00:05:59.540 --> 00:06:02.180
Just don't play Bike Tag, okay that was really dumb

00:06:02.180 --> 00:06:06.920
*ending of video* All and all I don't think sports are bad, I just think they're boring to watch on TV

00:06:06.940 --> 00:06:10.380
The only way I'm ever gonna watch a game is if knew someone playing in the game like

00:06:10.380 --> 00:06:13.420
Maybe going to a high school game, and you know someone there

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:21.000
Or playing it myself with some friends, I'm not really big on keeping score i just like, you know playing the game

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:27.940
So, what are your thoughts on sports? What teams do you root for? I have a patreon now if you wanna check that out

00:06:27.940 --> 00:06:31.640

00:06:44.460 --> 00:06:49.020
