Its just a game

I have two brothers. I love them more than anything in this entire world. I would maim, destroy, shred and kill someone at the drop of a hat if they messed with them. We are all so different in many aspects of life its crazy. However, we all share one characteristic. We are competitive. Everything is a game. And there is a score to everything you do. We could be walking in the house, and I'd feel a behemoth slam into the side of me, so they could beat me, and then a fight would break out. No, not the punch in the face, get mad and fight, fight. But a fight. Figure four leg locks, choke outs, stuff like that. Im 35, my two brothers are 41 and 32, and still, to this day, we act 12 when we're together. People ask my mom and dad, "how did you raise your boys?". Answer to that question? They're still raising us, lol. My mom has to jump on us every single Sunday we're together for wrestling and fighting. When we play video games, that jumps to another level. Many Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Playstation, and X-Box controllers have met their little electronic maker due to being slammed to the floor and broken. If it didnt break the first time, it broke the second. Or third. Or fourth. Or however many times it took to break it into a million pieces. The x-box controller I use today is held together by good ol black MSHA tape. It survived (barely) my brother Derek scoring a go-ahead touchdown six years ago. A nice, conservative estimate on broken controllers would still run around 75 or more. Anytime we play Tecmo Bowl, Super Tecmo Bowl, or NCAA Football, someone always leaves in a bad mood, lol. If Kiley is beating Derek, he'll flash a crap eating grin and a wink, and you can see the blood rush to Dereks head...I dont take anything out on them. Just the stupid controllers, lol..Ive basically quit playing anything past 2005 sports related. I havent adapted to the times. I mean heck, I just traded my giant brick cell phone a couple of months ago. It was hard to stand in Walmart pretending to text someone on a phone with no screen. Im not sure anyone bought it. No little phone pouch for me. I always liked the huge black bag tied to my belt loop that screams 1987. My new phone? Yeah its snazzy. It has the little slide out typewriter and everything. Ringtone? Whatever Samsungs basic ringtone is, lol..mine dont play music. And it wont until someone puts it on there for me. Internet is super awesome, although its ruined pretty much every facet of life as we know it. We just dont know it yet, lol..Identity theft (internet), the music industry (internet), relationships (internet), among other things..but Ill take it. It gave us YouTube, and that balances everything out. Anyways, Im in an awesome mood because the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing in the AFC championshp after they beat the Baltimore Ratbirds. I hope you all have a nice night and a great Sunday.
