Ping Pong anyone

Ping pong; One of America’s nerdy and partier population’s pastimes. It’s such a wonderful sport. There are many different ways a person could play too. There’s singles, doubles, around the world, beer pong, and many even create their own special games. I myself am a fan of singles and doubles. One may not think this sport very exhilarating or intense. However, this sport can be very dangerous and adrenaline pumping as any other contact sport.

One could get hit very hard in the face or other sensitive areas with the ball. A paddle could be thrown at an opponent to start disaster. A shoe could be kicked in frustration from losing, which then results in harmonious and hysterical laughter from everyone present. We all know laughing too much can result in hazardous health issues. A person could step and slip on the ball when in pursuit of the sphere, as it tends to bounce away at every given opportunity.

The most danger can occur when a person is battling out a hardcore game of doubles. With doubles, there are two people vs. two other people. Each team must alternate hits between its two players. This results in hitting the ball, then backing up so your partner has plenty of room to volley the ball back in time. It’s a back and forth game of looming death. You don’t want to be the one to mess up, so you’re working triple time and running around as fast as you can to save the ball from the opposing teams continuous attacks. You must be careful, however. Especially when the table is at a slant where two uneven floors meet. For, a person could roll their ankle when diving to the opposite side of the table from which they were originally standing, to the uneven floor side, while tripping over their partner’s shoe who didn’t happen to move out of the way in time. I would know because this very situation happened to me last night. Go ahead, laugh. Make fun of me for hurting myself in a game of ping pong, but don’t judge until you have actually played an invigorating and teeth clenching game first. Only then can you understand how this inconceivable act becomes inconceivable.

Unicorn Frenzy


This is my first blog post. Which is pretty sad considering I’ve had this blog for months now. The only problem is I’m not sure what to write about at this time. I suppose I should give an overview of myself and my life, but that’s so BORING! Instead, I think I will talk about Unicorns. Has anyone ever seen Charlie the Unicorn? What a great youtube video. It’s definitely in my top ten. Whatever those top ten are, not even I know.
Anyway, who doesn’t love unicorns? They can come in many different colors, and their horns are spirally goodness. They aren’t mean, well unless they’re after your kidney… Some unicorns can fly, too. That makes them ten times more special. I believe that their diet consists of ice cream, cotton candy, and lollipops. Everything about them is cute, so it would only make sense for them to excrete tootsie rolls. :] All unicorns destinies are to find Candy Mountain so that they can feed their sweet tooth desires. Yep, unicorns are the epitome of epic.
I actually have a unicorn in my dorm right now. It stares at me while I sleep. Slightly creepy… with its dark charcoal eyes, pink fluffy hooves that could suffocate a child to death, its soft pointy horn that if poked by it enough times a person could develop a bruise… hhmmmm… maybe unicorns aren’t so great afterall.
