I Never Want To Be A Pro Athlete

I was paid to play football today.  Since part of my job involves video production, I was paid not to instruct web programing as usual, but to play a two-man game of football while the students practiced filming.

Despite the money, I still hate playing football.  I can’t throw a football, I can’t tackle anyone, and I suck at kicking things.  About the only good ability I possess for football is dexterity.  Pay me to play ultimate frisbee or free run and I’ll never work another day in my life.  But football…no thanks.

On the plus side, I started writing a post here and it turned into a longer article, much more suited for What’sWithLife.  I’ll edit this post with a link to that article when I publish it.

At least my shin splints were not aggravated in vain.
