Hello and welcome once again to Green Bay 's favorite column, Richard Littlewood's 10 outta 10!
Today,today it IS a very, very special day.
Because this time we're going to speak about your very own.
That's right ladies and gentlemen, today it's the moment for your boy, your Tittletown native and host... Richard "Dick" Littlewood!!
But... What can we say about Littlewood that wasn't said already? Well on this special occasion we're going to step down from the Littlewood persona and take a deep dive onto LatinViking, the player. So I'm going to leave the format and give you 10 facts that some of you might not know.
1) I've born in Buenos Aires, Argentina
That's right folks, I'm from the deep(really deep) south. Latin America it's such a beautiful place and it's awesome to discover this sports that ain't massive or even big for the case... Even more it took me time to find my team as most members of my family doesn't like football (in their words it's just a bunch of Yankees trying to get hurt the fastest while wearing armor)
So you could say thay I'm the weird one down here.
2)I speak multiple lenguages.
well if you didn't get it by now, English ain't my first but my second lenguage actually, down here we speak Spanish and start learning English at age 4.
most of my countryman doesn't like it so barely speak it but I liked videogames (Hello QB club '94) so I forced myself to learn it.
I also know a little bit of German, French and ancient Greek and I am talkative in Italian. I had german in elementary school and Italian in high school, French and Greek I've learned for my college as I got my undergrad degree in philosophy.
3) I write everything in my phone.
For the last 2 months I had to live with my in laws after my father in law's accident. I've been studying, working and taking care of him while he recovers. Witch means that I am not in fact in Buenos Aires in my home but 200 kilometers (~176 Miles) north from there on a small city called pergamino. As I wasn't able to bring my desktop pc with me I'm forced to write everything from the screen of my mobile. Even if that's the case, hopefully I'll be home soon as things are better now and I'll be able to bring you better quality graphics and articles.
4) I have am competitive to the extreme filled with a severe case of ADHD. That means that I tend to do several sports at the same time(F*uck covid) and usually I end up getting hurt as my body can't hold how much work do I put on myself. Around 14 years ago I got my ribs fissured and their muscles teared while playing rugby because I've overworked myself trying to go pro. Shortly after the coach for Mar del Plata regional team cut me as he needed some bigger guys foot the same position and I was in his words "too light and too short" to be pro. That's the reason I play in Sim leagues, other than that I played varsity level basketball, rugby and handball last year and I do surf whenever I have the chance.
5) I suck at cooking.
For real... I swear I can't even do boiled eggs without burning something... Yeah, it's that bad, I don't know why but it simply is! Hopefully it will be better in the near future!!
6)I have a really dark sende of humor...
Being a nerd while growing up I've developed a twisted and dark sense of humor that would make most people sick.
Everything is fair game for me, and I'll accept all the latino jokes you can throw at me while sleeping my siesta!
"so if I ever offend you, I gotta say sorry before hand because if we're joking I don't care for your race, sex, religion, sports team, preferences or other... I'll find a reason to do a joke and simply fire back. So please I hope you will understand that.
7) in my free time I play chess and teach math and phisics to high-school kids
Just what it sounds I love teaching, it makes me feel better and as a former troublesome student I feel like the kids I teach can get that I've been there, I dropped school for 2 years and got in a lot of trouble so they can connect better with me and hopefully they learn a thing or two that might help them avoid end up having to take the whole course all over again. And if not.... Well I tried! Haven't I? No? ok...
8) I don't get racism issues.
Yeah everyone it's entitled to their own opinion but honestly I don't understand why people hate each other nor why it's called "black lives matter" no I don't like the police and I will never like them as I had my problems with them way back when.
Down here police brutality it's a thing as well and thankfully we don't have a "blue lives matter" but even then I'd rather step aside and let you do your own thing and discuss whatever you need but I wont get involved, this also includes the charity bids.
9) I thought this series because a friend mocked me and told me to write media about why I should be picked 1st overall!
But I've thought nah and let it slide, I didn't want to push myself like that... Even if I do role play like a jerk.
So yesterday this tweak came to my mind, not only I would write about myself but I would select my top 10 prospects and write 10 reasons of every single one of them to make an article... That article then became 10 different ones and it's the series you all know now.
10) I got my nickname LatinViking in college around 8 years ago when I started to braid my hair and trim my beard to be pointy so I could do a smaller braid there with a pebble tied on it.
But oh well folks this is it, and this was a very personal 10 outta 10 with LatinViking! Please stay safe and have a wonderful day!
