Don't Get Your Panties in a Wad

Okay, the person that typically runs this site is sitting on my bed right now reading, "Feeling Good," some weird ass hippy thing. So, I, being the lovin sister that I am, thought I would try to give all three people that visit this site a little insight into a topic that really makes me laugh. I am still in high school, and although I will be graduating in about two weeks, there is something I have heard in that haven of ignorance, insecurity and egotism, in the past four years that needs discussion: When people get defensive about being thought of as dumb jocks. It isn't even the idea of wanting to defend your intelligence, but more the way in which these morons state their cases. Rather than laughing the notion off or presenting a valid defense for their claim that they, "are totally smart. Like volleyball is way hard, it takes a lot to hit a ball and think at the same time," they get their panties in a wad and look like fools. I have played sports since conception. Seriously, I am convinced that I used to toss some chunks of placenta around in my mother's womb. I chose to concentrate on basketball and will be playing in college this fall. However, I also maintained good grades and was in creative writing for two years. Sounds like the perfect candidate to defend the notion that jocks are smart. Well, the truth is, when I play ball I act like a total dumbass. I talk trash, speak in ebonics (although I am the whitest thing on the planet), and dress like a total dike. But I also am very confident in my behavior and mental state on and off the court. So the next time you hear some dumbass trying to defend the notion that they aren't a dumb jock, just tell them to dislodge their heads from their anuses and take a step back next time they are playing sports.
