heres the thing, i have a bad temper now! i get pissed so easy.. and on top that i hate are high school coach.. shes so grrr!! drives me crazy, and sometimes at practise i wanna punch her.. and this old lady favors ppl, shes so two faced.. a certain 2 ppl are pissing me off.. well they r pissing most of the team off too.. i get so mad sometimes at miss, dat i start slacking and dont work as hard..n another thing that gets to me is that she always discourages me and makes it seem like i aint getting nowhere.. its like she has something againist me.. I honestly wanna punch her..but i no i cant..
And another getting to me is that I cant perform, i have all the skills, a sexy shot a amazing handle that rarely any girls have.. but in a game i cant perform..im so useless.. and its driving me crazyyy..so unnoee wuh to do? how to perform..
i really wanna shoot her.. man o man.. and this dark tunnel of a place we call world is full of assholes that break your trust.. argg
