Sport Makes One Arrogant

*** arrogant disclaimer: Chin will be referring to himself in third person ***

Last Sunday Chin did the Yonge Street 10K for the second year and Chin has to say, this is his second favorite run of the year (the first being The United Way’s The Great Neighbourhood Race. Free food? Microsoft prize packs including wireless mice? Done and done! Last year’s pics.) Despite having to drag Ruby by her heels, they were still able to beat the time set last year by a broken Chris and a broken Chin. It’s funny how the following was able to motivate Chin during the race: Giant picture of Chin’s girl Aliya by the studio where MTVLive is filmed; thunderous war drums, Calypso and the sweet sweet sound of steel pan; passing by the Brass Rail and seeing the big poster of that brown stripper’s face. But most of all, Chin was excited for brunch with the Torreno’s at The Hot House Café… that was until they got there and found out there was an hour wait. Fuck! Chin waited a whole year for that, now Chin has to wait another year? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittt…

Wednesday marked Chin’s first softball game. As excited as Chin is to face Shaun and his “Megabytes” later on this summer, Chin has to say that this “sport” is really really boring. Chin’s team got touched up 17 – 10 in a practice game vs Chin's company's corporate team. Chin thinks that it’s pretty much people hanging out after work. The difference is that there's drinking with some softball in the middle of it. Drinking before AND after the game? Psh… I guess…

Finally, last Thursday marked the first week for Chris and Chin’s Spring Beach Volleyball League down at The Beaches. Sure it was rainy. Sure it was cold. Did they care? Yes, but they went anyways. Surprisingly, there was a strong turn out. Chris and Chin were finally able to find their team and they were quite happy. Why? Well, Chin was happy because they were gamers. Despite the weather, the team came out to play. Why was Chris happy? Two words: ‘three’ and ‘blondes’. Chin felt bad for Shaun since he would have most definitely appreciated it. But Chin also knows that Chris is happy Shaun gave up on volleyball because if Shaun was there, he’d be cockblocking Chris on all three. And who knows, there could even be a fourth blonde since one member didn’t show up. Chin is now pretty excited for Thursdays. Sure, Chin isn’t as excited for Thursdays as he was for Mondays a few months ago, but it’s still something for him to look forward to. Unfortunately, Chin has a little work to do. Chin is a little paranoid that he came off looking really homosexual. How you ask? Well, everything Chin and Chris mentioned in a professional or extra curricular nature seemed to always involve each other. They knew each other from high school. They’ve run races together. They play video games together (Chris, why’d you feel you had to mention this???). They’re both in the IT profession. Both are involved with Pharmaceuticals in some fashion. Chris also mentioned that Chin loves sample sales (which admittedly, he does). Needless to say, Chin’ll be pouring on some extra testosterone out there. “Oh, Chin’s ex girlfriend once went crazy at an NBA All Star game party” etc etc etc. In theory, Chris does not have to worry about his homosexual rating with our team. He does however need to worry about his chauvinist rating as he dropped this gem on one of the blondies who’s past employment was a purchaser for female fashion: “I endorse you buying skimpy clothing.” Needless to say, they were NOT impressed. >smacks Chris in the back of the head<


And lastly, hope everyone had a great Mother's Day. To quote Group Home:

Always love your mother cause you’ll never get another
