georgym Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 I try to give my all and get deep with people whenever im in discourse. I want them to know im genuine Also, i've been feeling lately that im more interested in things that i know little about, or haven't thought much about, than the things im usually into (music, movies, etcc...)Like my friend was explaining all the rules of golf to me the other day, and now i feel a whole lot better that i understand bogey's, eagles and "par for course" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicman Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 yup thats true, lots of my female friends could care less about soccer, but when the world cup comes around, i'm basically out of contact with the real world, they didnt seem to understand that, because they didnt like, or ever watched the games.i suggested that they watch a few here and there, if they refused, i just told them to watch the players, and lo and behold they thought a few of them were hot and they started watching more games to see the players, but at least they got into it somewhat.

Mmmm, gotta love those calves But I love a good game of soccer. It's been in my family for generations. My grandfather played in the minor leagues in Belgium (as does my cousin Steve). My father was real good. He grew up in Brazil, and had a chance to play professionally there! But his father insisted that he get an education in the states...There went his chance to play with Pele ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicman Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 i always used to play defense or goal keeper. i was kinda bad as a forward, so i figured that i could at least throw myself in front of the oppositioin in order to stop them. likewise i enjoyed playing for terrible teams and being the goal keepr, yeah sure i got hundreds of goals scored on me in say uh, 6, 7 games but it sure was fun so much for being the next oliver kahn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicman Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 :laugh: i also used to play baseball growing up, i was pretty good at that. in arizona my team really sucked, but i enjoyed it. we were the "CUBS" and had green uni's. that was pee-wee league.then moving to panama, little league, my team kicked ass "BOYD STEAMSHIP CORP." a company sponsored each of the teams (my brothers team was HARDEE'S) and we had light blue t-shirts. i played 3rd base, and was a good hitter, although i could never hit a home run, but we did pull of a triple play. so true about the balls and strikes, if you didnt swing at them, chances are you would get on base.i also played basketball in highschool and i sucked bad, of course my team sucked bad also, i recall we lost our first game like 50-4 or something, we went 0-12 or someting like that...but people were starting to fear us, they were just lucky that the season ended soon enough.

georgym Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 I was great at defense when i played. They called me the *star defensive kid with the golden shoe But i stopped in high school cuz i wasn't into the jock scene at my school. Lots of peckerheads I also really enjoy street basketball. Been playing for over 10 years now, and i got a shweet shot.I also bowl, snowboard and play tennis. Anyone up for a game:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicman Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 i used to bowl almost every week, then i stopped...i also used to play tennis i really liked it alot, i was kinda sorta good, then i stopped...who knows i might going for my 10th straight US Open later this month if i hadnt stopped, and those 10 trophies would be alongside my 10 straight french opens, wimbledons, master's and aussie's opens ...oh, and a couple of olympic gold medals thrown in there for good measure along my multiple Davis Cups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyes Posted August 22 Author Report Share Posted August 22 my bowling average is somewhere around 70 ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicman Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 the most i ever got was 180. i always lost my temper when i was a kid, so it would be funny seeing a little kid losing his temper in a bowling alley over a gutter ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
