i was sent out to the mattoon middle school this evening to shoot a special basketball game themed, ‘paint the gym pink’. with such a name i had hopes that the bleachers would be filled with a sea of pink. like a pink dragon puked all over the gymnasium leaving it a glowing fluorescent hue of pink. hell, i even wore a lavender shirt today. (i don’t own or will ever own a pink shirt)
instead, as they often are on assignment, i was disappointed by a weak showing. one in every three were decked out in pink which didn’t make for the dramatic and colorful background i was looking for. here’s a few anyway:
watching a little of the seventh grade basketball game made me want to get in there and re-live my glory days. i don’t mean go back in time and play in the seventh grade again. i mean play the seventh graders as a grown man and own shit. that would be awesome until i realized that i can’t shoot worth a damn and handle the ball like i have bricks for hands.
