thirstyyy

I felt like a super genius for the first time in a long time. I was out at lunch with 2 of my co-workers at a Mexican restaurant. We ordered our food and starting eating blah blah. Then, a young couple sits down beside us and orders food and shows the waitress a piece of paper. I assume it was a daily deal, so I whipped out my phone, opened up the groupon app, found an $8 for $15 deal for the place we were currently at. I instantly bought it and showed our waitress, bam. It felt really really good, like really good. I just created $7 of value. I just stole $7 from someone, if that’s not gangsterrr…

 

kid at 1:10 mark- that sort of crying is obnoxious, come on. 

homie at 1:50 - why does homie have muscles? if he came charging at me swinging, i feel like i'd have to swing back in self-defense

girls at 3:07 - girls are crazy

girls at 3:55 - um, girls are crazy. she looks 13

4:17- she killed me, like deaddd

i know i blogged about this last year, but whatever. this is the new halloween kimmel prank.

like i said last time, i cannot wait to do this. it's something like +350 that my kid has a "good reaction" and -400 that my kid has  "bad reaction"

when i first saw the video, i sent it to everyone i was talking to on gchat. and then i was asked "are you going to do this to your kid every year?"

i typed "lol yes" but then it hit me. delete delete delete...

ok, so the first time i do this, of course the kid will fall for it and blah blah blah. but! if i do it the next year, and the kid falls for it again. wouldn't that be a concern? i mean, i'd be legit sad if i prank my kid the exact same way 2 years in a row. but now that i think of it, i HAAAAVE to do it twice now just to see what happens.  HOPEFULLY my kid is gangster and tells me i'm lame for doing it the 2nd time

the boom

for the past several months, i wanted to start coaching youth basketball. i applied at the Tenderloin boys and girls club in san francisco. about a month ago, i got a call saying a position was open if i wanted it. i was really excited, it's boys basketball, ages 6-8. i was really excited until i thought about how and what i would do in practice. i thought about when i was younger and played in my first organized basketball team. one of the first things i remember learning, left handed lay-ups!

when i was like 7 or 8 years old, i learned how to do one because our coach made us. then i just sorta stopped, since i was about 12 til now, i only do right-handed lay-ups, even in a pregame lay up drill. i do this awkward right handed lay up (coming from the left side). i was legitimately concerned, i knew i had to teach them a left-handed lay up, but i also knew that i cannot do a left handed lay-up at 75% game speed

just thinking about it. if i showed up to the first practice unprepared, and some punkass kid says "i bet you can't even do a left-handed lay up, go ahead, show us a left handed lay up at 80% game speed." i would have been effed. i would have lost the team right there.

well, i did go to the gym before the first practice, just to get some reps (left hand lay-ups) in. cool story
