first post in June, hope you enjoy this, anyway back to business since my summer officially kicked off on friday, there hasnt been any sun, just been rain and more rain, today however was different the sun was out every now and again, and me and my friend decide to attempt something silly, that being "Kicking a football from one end of a basketball court into the rim" didnt really work out to great, if you ask me anyway, we hit the backboard a few times but more missed the target that anything, below are 2 videos of my many attempts,
the first video below is when i actually hit the target, well backboard so that was fun however note i didnt celebrate lol,
The second video is the main reason im blogging about this and is the main reason for the title of this post, as you can see from the video not only did i miss the backboard i kicked right over the fence, and into the jungle type area behind the fence.
let me just say retriving that ball sounds alot easier said than done at that time, it was lituarally like a episode of Lost only in Lost they seem to know where there going, whereas i had no idea where this ball went, had to look at the video a number of times to es
timate where abouts the ball could have went, now what i want to take notice that there were stingy nettles and all kinds of other stupid plants (yes fuck plants) in there and if you saw the videos i was wearing shorts, so as i type this up im trying desperatly to fight the urge to scratch my legs, and evan on my knuckles and my fingers, it was only after numerous walking arround in the "Jungle" that i managed to pick up the ball, which isnt very easy when its a dark ball so it doesnt stand out (click on the picture on the right and see if you can find it lol and if you do well done, try doing that when theres millions of other places that it could have gone) we did finally find the ball and decide to call it a day, and to try again another time, next time i will be wearing trousers, and probably bring garden sheers and scissors. im gonna end this post now, and possibly scrub off a layer or 2 of skin to remove these nettle stings,
( i may post some more pics of the jungle later as a edit if you wanna check out the actual jungle i went through in order to find the ball, but until then ur stuck with just the one picture today)

Personally, i kicked (punted) a FOOTBALL (American Football) and got it in the basket once. It worked.
