My mum always tried to encourage me to join in with football that my friends were playing (friends meaning children belonging to friends of hers that I hated*), maybe thats why i've never liked it, I always found basketball far more enjoyable to watch and play, although i'm slow as shit these days and it takes a half hour or so of shooting for me to start getting the ball in the net.......
I must have appeared to be a really anti-social child, but I think I was just surrounded by kids that I hated for a few years, I don't ever regret being myself and taking part in sports/activities that I wanted to do, as opposed to the ones that my beloved mother wanted to do, and most of all I don't regret breaking bones and wrecking myself in the process, I think my only real regret in life is that I never started snowboarding when I was younger.
Pain is temporary, scars and glory are forever.
