i was kicking my buddy's ass in call of duty.

he'd just learned about the gun game, so he's rusty on all the weapons.

needless to say, I whooped the shit out of him.

what stuck out to me was the amount of fun he was having, even while being terribly bad at it.

I'd blow him up immediately when the match starts, and he's just a giggling and falling over himself in enjoyment.

i said 'dog, you some shit at this - how you having such a good time?'

he's like 'heee haw, i don't know. but im having a ball!'

...

are there any activities you like to do, but aren't necessarily good at?

my list includes:

billiards.
playing the guitar.
playing the piano.

...

while im here, i'd like to send a thank you for my ban being lifted.

i'd just gotten used to not being a part of this community anymore. i tried to log-in randomly this morning and BOOM it worked.

...i guess you gotta have a little faith.

"Get ready..for your blessing..."

that shit wack.

though it is a good vehicle for shit talking.

particularly bad at singing, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

are winning.

My dude and I use to play basketball everyday after school and he would get soo upset when he would start to lose. I think there were plenty of games I think I didn't play as hard just to not hear his mouth.

Maybe that means I am a good sport or...don't have a competitive spirit.

I'm hoping he grows out of it.

Part of it is learning to lose gracefully and participating in things you may not particularly enjoy/be good, bc people important to you enjoy it

i think i really enjoyed seeing him feel good about the situation, despite the soul-crushing sized defeat.

i give him propers for that.

because the flip, really isn't cool.

i can't tell how the 'losing attitude' is developed, but it sure does a number on people.

he was happy playing as long as he was winning...then when he lost he was just more disappointed

i'm like the recreational kobe bryant.

I used to have fun but suck at volleyball, ping pong, handball, bowling to name a few...but really enjoyed it and studied and got better.

ie, I was on a resort where they had beach volleyball. I'm generally athletic but wasn't that great at it in the beginning. AFter playing that weekend, i read up on basic stuff and now i'm much better. Not great bc i only play maybe 5x a year or so, but if i played enough, i'd easily get better. Thnking about joining a club or something next summer wit the wife.

the beats in your head don't translate well with the equipment you're using?

or the beats in your head suck, and that's how it sounds on the equipment, too?

who is your favorite producer?

>the beats in your head don't translate well with the
>equipment you're using?

no i dont have an "ear" for timing and complexity of layering sounds

>or the beats in your head suck, and that's how it sounds on
>the equipment, too?

probably suck because i didnt grow up trying to make music

>who is your favorite producer?

Dj Dahi
Cardo
Krit
40
Harry Fraud
ALC

mostly why i do it just to gain an understanding of what im listening to
and how dope it is and how much work goes into to specifically sampling

Yuh

you ever went-in for a kiss from an unsuspecting woman?

sike nah...just in general. I like to read body language, expressions and such...tryna figure out what a joker thinkin'bout. Especially on that good green line going through Anacostia. Be some hard faces on THAT jount! I think it's damn near impossible though, but it's an extension of my voyeuristic capability.

in street fighter.

... but i'm determined to whoop his ass one day.

i'm pretty good. but being beaten up by a great player can be surprisingly fun and informative.

My friends are so much better at me at chess. Also I have a suspicion that they cheat at Mario Kart.

to find something i'm not good at, enjoy but don't have a desire to get better at....

I KID!!!

can't believe that nigga really typed those words out.

I send all my clothes to the cleaners cuz I can admit my flaws lol.
However, I really enjoy ironing, it's the most relaxing chore &
who doesn't love the smell of spray starch.

but i really hate losing especially if I feel like i don't even know why i'm so bad at shit

I'll enjoy Marvel v Capcom ans shit like that but get destroyed but it's more frustrating then getting killed in a shooter

i'm coming to terms that i'm the slowest "smart" person i know and as someone who is mad competitive and who thinks he's smarter than he is...that shit hurts

so i end up being tier 2 good at a bunch of shit...

the first 2 things that come to mind is pool, ping pong, trivia crack, and most video games

i'm frustrated right now about my last madden loss bc i totally fucked up what should have been an easy win lol

but I'm not that good love it though

Others
Bowling (in my head I'm amazing )
Swimming

Skiing
Pool

Most sports if I'm honest but that don't stop me!

usually I'm a beast but this year? disgustingly bad.

I'm 0-6 and its in a new league... shit is embarassing.

Big Ben hurt
Alshon Jeffries hurt
Steve Smith hurt
Sammy Watkins hurt

I'm still having fun thinking next week I'll get my first W

Every week tho... these niggas let me down
