Riverdale High School was the last team I played for because I faked an injury and couldn't handle the pressure of playing in college. My senior year we went undefeated thanks to me though, so there was no heart-wrenching loss on the field. I did lose the game against hunger, though. I was so hungry by the end of the big championship game that I wanted to eat three cheese burgers. No, scratch that. I wanted to eat two cheese burgers and a mcchicken. You know what would have even better than that? Taking the mcchicken out of it's own bun and putting it in between two burgers to make a burger mchicken burger sandwhich. Man, that was a heart-wrenching loss that I didn't think of that before. Now I'm cold inside. It's also cold outside. When we get cold inside, is that our body's way of telling us that we need to warm up both metaphorically and literally? All I know is when others are down, I have to be there to pick them back up. My best friend Abed has never really been into sports, but that doesn't mean I'm not there for him. He processes things different, you know? Like he can see things that others can, sort of like he has invisibility glasses on. I asked him one time if I could borrow his invisibility glasses to lecture so I could check out the girls down the hall, but he told me it wouldn't work like I thought it was. He's so smart. I bet if he put his mind to it, he could play football at the professional level. I would be willing to play football too if it meant it was something we could do together. Once he gets out of the dreamatorium, I'm gonna tell him my great idea.
