Getting hit in the face by a dodgeball, and other adventures

If you’ve been a religious reader of my website and a dedicated viewer of my videos, you might remember that two years ago, we had a massive storm that swept through my neighborhood during the summer that resulted in a bunch of downed power lines and flooding everywhere.

A very similar thing happened this year, and in some areas, the flooding was actually worse than it was two years ago.

On the way to our family business, we passed a road we usually take, that was closed down. Upon closer scrutiny, we found out that the road was closed because the power posts in the area had fallen over, and there were power lines on the ground everywhere beside the road.

Upon arriving at our family business, I used a inkjet printer to print out a sign to post up. This was the first time I had used a inkjet printer in an extremely long time, because I usually use commercial laser printers at university or at my workplaces. I had forgotten that inkjet means that there is actually ink on the paper.

Oops.

After sticking around the family business for a little bit, I went to martial arts. After the curriculum and sparring classes, we had two students stick around, and we played a modified version of basketball with them, using a dodgeball.

One of the students went for a shot from a distance. D’Shawn, one of the assistant/training instructors, who was my teammate, jumped up and spiked the ball so it wouldn’t go into the hoop.

(These photos are poor quality because they were taken from security camera footage.)

The ball made full-speed impact into my face, and bounced off to the side.

The ball then proceeds to continue traveling and collides with the student’s face as well.

The destruction finally ends, and both of us die, giving D’Shawn a double kill. Simon, the head instruc­tor who is standing near the blue pillar, facepalms.

As you can see, D’Shawn can get very passionate about games, even at the expense of his own team­mate.
