Competitive Shooting. My plan would be complete.


There are 9 shooting events for men to compete. Michael phelps has 8 golds at a single Olympics.

With the powerball lottery money, I'd buy teamquestnorth @teamquestnorth a few burritos and get Wild @Wild that '78 transam he's had his eye on for the last decade.

Then I would hire an entourage of professionals to come live on-site at my compound where I'd get real weird and learn to shoot well.

When looking at the shooting Olympians, even the girl that got the first gold, Ginny Thrasher, only picked up a rifle 5 years ago. Others are members of the military shooting teams. But consistently, the people are simply individuals that spend 5-10 years getting ready for the Olympics. And unlike phelps and others, time is on my side. No athleticism required, for which I have none.

Im a nerdy American, I'm made to be a shooter.

Incidentally, even if I failed at Phelps domination ( I wouldn't), I could outdo the entire country of India, in the entire history of the Olympics, in only three olympic sessions with a relatively modest showing.

I could shoot the lights out, averaged 24 points a game in 8th grade. I was at a small school and led them to an undefeated championship season. When I got to high school the coach told me I’d have made the team if if was truly an open tryout but the team was already determined based off the incoming players from the city’s big jr high school. Reality was I just wasn’t tall enough and a bit to slow to play good enough defense to really advance to a higher level.
But it's bullshit they didn't allow to havhe chance to evolve.. like I told ya before the podcast I'm the only kid that didn'tl make either of our middle school teams and I was hopping in yettry outs.. but I overheard my uncle talking to a family friend and point blank said the teams were already predetermined and my dad was a wild sob and was known with the law.. they wasn't about to let the new kid that was from the inner city make the team lol best thing that ever happened to me... went out ghee wrestling and won my first 14 matches without giving up a single point until the 15th..I got mauled and pinned in a minute lol that's when I realized wrestling wasn't so easy.

I excelled at every sport I ever played,I have an entire room full of trophies,plaques and certificates. I was a varsity athlete in the 9th grade.

I guess I would like to be good at driving f1 race cars if that counts as a sport.

"Wish", haha.
I wish I DIDN'T excel at everything so I had a sport to wish I excelled at.

Since there are no sports I had issue with,
I wish I excelled at magic.

Brotha from anotha.

Humility also; I've got assloads of humility, and the best plaques on earth to prove it.
I'm gazing at 3 right now. They're amazing.

F1 would be legit or to be able to ride the Isle of Man TT balls out without dying.

There’s a video of a guy in an F1 car and they show where his eyes scan while driving. Pretty cool

Basketball. I was/am fast with the ball and could drop 3s like raindrops. I often wonder how far i could have gone had I not told my high school to fuck himself when he told me to cut my hair.

Badminton. I am legendary.

Softball. I can kill the ball from either side of the plate, but can't catch it to save my life.

Bowling. I bowl exclusively left handed. I'm naturally right handed although am ambidextrous due to my superior genetics. But I still have trouble breaking 150.

BJJ. I have trained with great people. I should be better than I am. I always fall back to my striking.

Thinking about it, F1's really what everyone should be thinking about. You get to see the world, you get paid an absolute fortune, the season isn't that long, and I really enjoy driving. McLaren or fuck off though.
