Hey, hey, man
Something bothering you?
Well now that Erased is done. I have nothing to watch.
Oh c'mon, don't be silly. That's the beauty of crunchyroll. There is always something to watch
Like what?
Well you and everyone can check out this season's new lineup of quite promising animes like KiznAiver
Bungo stray dogs and Re: ZERO with yet another free trial by using the link crunchyroll.com/domics
Whoa awesome!!
YEAH!!
I still miss erased though. Yeah. It was a pretty good anime. Wasn't it? I mean can you believe the killer was-
MUSIC/INTRO (Domics)
Back in senior year of high school. I had just recently broken up, but, well dumped by my Ex at the time (rip)
Jessica, I mean as much as I didn't deserve someone like her
I was still sad you know being dumped just does something to you and your self-esteem
And I definitely needed something new to keep me occupied and help me move on
I did have Taekwondo but my other Ex was still also there I had video games
But that also got pretty lonely at times (relatable)
I really just wanted to surround myself with people which was kind of odd coming from an introvert (0_o)
So I decided to join a sports team
Yeah
While I like playing certain sports, I never really thought I was good enough to be part of a team
Especially in America where they take sports like EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY (Over dramatized)
on top of that my short height
Definitely put me at a disadvantage in many aspects as much as I want to believe you when you tell me nonsense Dom
You could do anything if you put your mind into it. I'm just being honest and realistic (dat face tho)
I'm not the main
Protagonist of some sports anime where I have some sort of dormant hidden talent that can only be awakened through a 24 episode Arc
Anyway, I checked out which teams were available and I decided to join the track team
it was a simple concept sport you literally just have to run (duh)
I Might have been heavily influenced by all the animes
I watched as a kid, but just being able to move really fast appealed to me by the way don't run
like this -.-
I had a kid tried to run like this on the team and my coach totally roasted them and ruined their dreams of being Hokage
This wasn't my first time doing track anyway, so I thought it would be fun to do it again
There was however this connotation that if you did track it was because you didn't make the cut from another sports team
but it was kind of obvious who joined the team because they
Genuinely liked track and those who joined just because their friends didn't wanted to hang out late after school
Anyway, I signed up and the first practice was a week later
I show up and see a few familiar faces some of which were my friends
So I was glad that I had people to talk to but there were some familiar faces that I did not particularly find appealing
My Ex along with buttface McGee that. She started seeing soon after we broke up and by soon
I mean like days like not even a week
WHY ARE YOU TESTING ME!!!
So I had to deal with that and it was funny because I knew that they knew that I was uncomfortable seeing them together
So they tried super hard to like be subtle about their relationship like when we had to stretch
They purposefully like be away from each other or if we have to do certain running activities they try to be in separate groups
But whether it was out of respect and understanding for me
Or I don't know fear that only lasted like 2 or 3 practices until they decided to just do whatever they want in
Hindsight. I guess it was kind of a good thing that they were there
I saw them as rivals that motivated me to push myself to my limits and after a while
it stopped being about trying to beat them but more about trying to build my self-discipline
I mean, I still didn't enjoy their presence, but after a while. You kind of just stopped minding it
Track was a great outlet for me and helped me get my mind off a lot of things it also helped me boost my confidence
Because whenever we went to track meets. I was pretty much always the shortest kid on the track
It's pretty damn intimidating being there on the starting line
And you look at your competitors towering over you with their long
Lamppost looking ass limbs like you know one of their strides equal like three of yours (lmao)
But you can still compete with them on even grounds
But one of my fondest memories in my time during track was when my coach asked me to be the anchor leg for the four
By four hundred meter relay, which is basically the person who runs the last stretch now
I wasn't the fastest sprinter on the team
I can admit that much but my coach did see how much my times improved over the weeks and practice and thought I could handle
this responsibility
as much of an honor as it was
Bricks were coming out of my butthole because I was so nervous and worried that I'd let the team down (nice)
*GUNSHOT
Oh jeez okay, we can do this. Okay. Come on Steven give us a strong start yeah
okay, okay, you're last but
That's okay cuz cuz Mark's gonna pick it up from there. We're not that far behind (3rd). Yeah
Okay, okay, okay. Good good
Okay, second is good. Okay. Let's go. Let's go mark. Yeah
Okay, okay after Daniel. Okay? It's me
Okay, no worries Daniel's a boost. Okay. He'll get us a good lead. Come on. Come on. Come on
Okay, okay. Don't don't focus on the lead. Okay, just just make just make the smooth transition and
GO!!!!
And I just frickin went full ham adrenaline Super Saiyan Captain Falcon mode
I bolted it and ran as fast as my short Hamster legs could go
Final hundred meters last stretch there was no one in front of me
I was so surprised and in such disbelief that I just had to peek and one thing our coach told us never to do was
Look back, but I did I think and there may be two guys on my tail just that oh crap
This is pretty close realization. Gave me the extra boost to summon up. Whatever energy. I had left and expand my lead gap
We won.
Well not the whole track meet
But we won that specific event and while it may seem like a small accomplishment for some it meant a huge deal for me. #Achievement
So I guess moral of the story is if you're trying to decide
What sports team to join pick the one with your accident or someone you hate
I don't know just looking at them will piss you off so much that you'll be able to run like Sonic
