Once again, my friends and I played some ball. For some reason I wasn't really in the mood. There were about 8 of us and only 2 kids really wanted to play. My friends Nick and Jojo were the only two that were playing serious. We played a 4 on 4 and they were on opposite teams. As they battled it out like Ancient Spartan Warriors the rest of us just stood around as spectators. It was really funny to see how hard they were trying while the rest of us didn't. Eventually we all sat down while they kept on playing. After one guy scored, the other would retaliate. The score at one point was 50 to 50. After a while we all wanted to play again. But the two would not let us back on the court. So we decided to just stand and interfere with their game. They eventually got fed up and we played again. This time we were the ones energetic and eager to play while the two of them were sluggish and tired.
After a while we all decided to play serious but the only way to do that was to make a wager. So. we all made a deal that the losing team would have to buy the winning team drinks as well get punched by each member of the winning team. It was once again a hard-fought battle. Like the 2000 election the game was very close. My team consisted of both Nick and Jojo as well as Steve McCann. The other team was a lot weaker. They had Sal Linea, Pizza Man Chris Doro, Luca Panarelli, and this kid Jed. We thought we were going to slaughter this crew of flunkies but they kept it close. The score was 20-14 in favor of the flunkies. They only needed one more point. We had to dig deep to win. We eventually tied it up. In that 6-0 run I scored once, Nick scored twice, Jojo scored twice and Steve scored once. Now that it was tied 20-20 the winner had to win by 2. The other team scored then we scored. We would eventually be the victors with the final score of 24-22. The other team bragged about how they almost beat us with a much weaker squad. But the only reason it was so close was because we gave them 19 points. The game started with the score 19-0 and we still won. So in reality we won 24-3 because Sal Linea is one of the worst basketball players in the world. Seriously. Read the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records. He's under the second worst basketball player in the world.

About Me
- Virgil Q
- I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is. I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. When you look into my eyes, it'll be like the first time you heard the Beatles. I'm a man who believes in you. My life is dedicated to saying things like "YES!" and "You better believe it!" I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do.
