Slept in
I slept in through the soccer game. I blame it on that movie we watched last night, "Wrong Turn", you know, with the cannibal hillbillies and all. I dunno, I think all the disassembled bodies and blood got to me. I don't react well to horror movies. My face did make very good friends with the couch cusions though, yes.
But I'll go to the one this coming weekend. There's another game on Saturday at the practice field at the same time. 10:30am.
Yeah, It sucked, I was having a really weird dark dream and the phone rang and my eyes shot open right on the clock and it was 10:40 and I went "DANGIT!". Got up...found the phone and I was all disoriented and this lady was talking to me and I was like in retard-mode. and I told her to call back for whoever she wanted to talk to later.
Childhood, Sports, and Capture the Flag
On the subject of sports, I don't hate sports. I just don't like competition. Like, it's okay to want to beat soeone and win the game, yes, but I don't like how they drill it into people's minds that they have to win. I don't like 'rivalry', it's a form of hate. Unless this is real war, you don't have to win.
Perhaps I would have a different opinion if I had been put into sports as a child. But I was always strictly in daycare so the only sports action I got as a child was from that and school.
Not to say I didn't get sports action from daycare, I strictly remember being a 1st grader and playing the goalie in a soccer game with a bunch of 3rd graders. I'm a pretty good goalie, I have to say, for being so small. And I remember playing kickball on a makeshift dimond field formed by a manhole-cover, a box sticking slightly off the ground, one actual base and a sweater. I remember sliding to the base and bearly making it before they tagged me out.
I have played a sport before, for a while I hoarded my love of playing basketball, except that I didn't realize until I actually joined a team that I like to work alone. Stand in front of a goal and shoot by myself. But I joined a team in the 6th grade. Wasn't even half as great as I thought it'd be, I was small, so they only stick me in 1/5 of the time. I hated it everytime we lost a game. I suppose you could say we were exactly average. Won 3, Lost 3, Tied 1. It was durring my point of playing basketball that I began eating twice as much and I gained 20 lbs in a single month. Yeah. Pretty insane.
And after that I havn't played a sport since.
But I have to say the best game ever will always be Capture the Flag, perhaps it's like a game of war, hide and seek, and spies at the same time.
I'd like to see a town-wide game. Gather together like 50 people and have 25 people on each team. 8 cars, two flag, two decoy flags and a limitted part of the city. That would be awesome. Abosultly military action, capturing other team mates and sending them to a designated jail, and an actual place to hold them, at that, not just some silly invisible lines in an open field. In this game you'd have obsticals, buildings, cars, houses, actual jail you actually have to escape from o___O, and l33t ninja power.
Yeah, I'm imagining it all now. Ah, the good life.
