again

i saw Taken2, and it was pretty bad. the theater was laughing at how corny it was

i'm splitting a fantasy football pickem league with kyle. basically, you pick the winner of each NFL game against the spread and assign confidence points to each game. rank the games 1-15. with 1 being the least confident and 15 being the most confident. it was his turn to pick this week, and i told him that 49ers -7 was an absolute lock.

he asked if i was sure? i said yes, then i said nah, do whatever you want, i don't want to hurt the team. then i said something like can you tell that i don't like to take the last shot in sports? he asked if i ever had taken the last shot before.

i slightly remember 2 times.

the first. little league baseball team. all i remember was my team was down, and i was up to bat with 2 outs. i'm 95% sure we were playing scott's blue jays team. i think a runner was on base. and short story short, i made the last out. i was upset blah blah blah, everything was ok, i was fine. but when we shook the other team's hands, i started to tear up. i couldn't believe it. i'm 90% sure this actually happened, and wasn't just a bad dream

the second time was in basketball with the stockton guys. i remember we were down by 1 or 2 with like 9 seconds left. we didn't call a time out for whatever reason so there was no play drawn up. i SPECIFICALLY remember  inbounding the ball because i didn't want to take the last shot. after all, i'm grant "i shoot 29% from the field when no one is around me" mizuno. i'm 80% sure i inbounded the ball to takahashi, and he instantlyyyyy passes it right back to me. OHFUCK. short story short, i kind of drive/throw a shot up and it gets blocked. game over
