Starting point is 00:00:00 Alright, so we're going to end the night. Today was Sunday football. My Patriots look a little bit better. Yet they've got a long way to go. But at least they look more competitive now. So it's been a long day. I spent lots of time on Sony PSPs today. I did some Vitas. But most of the day I spent on psps and stuff like that so the story for tonight is a football themed story since it was football day today sunday and it's called the underdogs last play and this is from my ai buddy zippy who nightly now i asked him for a story and I just pick a theme uh I like doing inspirational and uplifting kind of stuff so it's normally what I'll where I'll go with it and then I'll just give them a theme say I told them to do a um a football theme so here we go the underdogs last
Starting point is 00:01:01 play under the glow of the stadium lights the grass gleamed like a field of emeralds It was a championship game and every seat in the stadium was filled The crowd's energy was electric A mix of cheers and nerves as the final seconds of the game ticked down On the sidelines stood Jesse A second string quarterback who had spent most of the season unnoticed. No more for his work ethic than his natural talent. Jesse had fought through every practice, every drill, every scrimmage. He had also been the
Starting point is 00:01:42 last to leave the field and the first to arrive at team meetings. Yet tonight, with a championship on the line, he hadn't expected to step foot on the field. Fate had other plans. The star quarterback went down with an injury, leaving the coach no choice but to call Jesse into the game. Jesse said to the coach, grabbing his shoulders, This is your moment. We got one play left. It's fourth and gold. Do you believe you can do this? Jesse's heart was raced, but he nodded. I got this, coach. The huddle was tense. The team looked to Jesse for guidance. He took a deep breath,
Starting point is 00:02:22 locked his eyes on every teammate. We worked hard to let this slip away. This isn't just about the trophy. It's about proving to yourself that we're more than anyone thought we could be. Let's make this play count. The players nodded their resolve hardened the crowd roared as they broke the huddle and lined up for the snap the ball was snapped the chaos of the game enveloped jesse he dodged a defender narrowly avoiding a sack his eyes dotted across the field searching for an open receiver time seemed to slow the noise fading into silence. He spotted Carter, the rookie wide receiver, cutting toward the corner of the end zone. Jesse planted his feet, wound up, and launched the ball.
Starting point is 00:03:16 It spiraled perfectly through the air, a bullet headed for destiny. Carter leaped, his hands outstretched, and the ball landed in his grip as his feet tapped the turf inbounds. Touchdown. The stadium erupted in cheers so loud it felt like the ground itself was shaking. Jesse's teammates swarmed him, lifting him on his shoulders.
Starting point is 00:03:42 In that moment, he wasn't just the backup quarterback. He was the heart of the team, the player who refused to quit when it mattered most. Later, as the team celebrated, Jesse sat quietly in the locker room, holding the game ball. He thought about all the nights he had spent practicing alone, all the moments he had doubted himself, but kept going anyway. It wasn't just a game he won tonight. It had proven that preparation, heart, and belief in oneself could turn even the most unexpected moments into triumphs. So the moral of the story is life always presents moments when you're called upon unexpectedly. If you feel unprepared or overlooked,
Starting point is 00:04:35 remember that perseverance and heart can lead to your great victories. When your moment comes, seize it like Jesse did, because you've been preparing for it all along so it's a fun little story like that one there so i'm going to keep doing anything that i've done so this is uh let's see if we can call it more story i'll do it let's do a spooky one now so let's do a spooky. I'll tell them. So I just go on a chat. Spooky themed football
Starting point is 00:05:15 story. With inspiration. Inspiration. Let's see what we come up with. It's called The Phantom Playbook. This is the next story. It's amazing what my Zippy can do. And again, that's why I call him Zippy,
Starting point is 00:05:40 because everything is done instantly. I could have called him instantly, but Zippy, I like Zippy better. So the next story is called The Phantom Playbook. Under the full moon's glow, the old high school football field sat eerily silent. The paint on the bleaches was chipped, and the goalpost leaned slightly, as if weighed down by the years the locals swore the place was haunted but the new quarterback danny it was just a quiet place to practice danny wasn't just new to the school he was new to football he transferred mid-season thrown into a starting position after the team's star quarterback broke his arm.
Starting point is 00:06:28 The team was winless. Moral was low. The big victory game against the undefeated Timberwolves loomed just days away. One late October night, despite spirit to get better despite despair to get better desperate to get better Danny stayed after practice to run drills alone the wind hollowed through the empty field
Starting point is 00:06:55 as he worked through his throws suddenly he felt the air shift a chill that seemed to cut through his jacket he turned and saw a faint figure sitting in the shadowy bleachers, barely visible in the moonlight. You're holding the ball wrong. A gravely voice called out. Danny froze. Who's there? The figure stepped forward, become clear as it descended to the bleachers. It was a man in an old leather football helmet and tattered jersey, the kind from decades ago.
Starting point is 00:07:33 His eyes glowed faintly, his body shimmered as though not fully solid. The name's Coach Knox, the ghost said with a grin. Used to coach the Wildcats here, before your time. Let's just say I got some unfinished business. Danny gulped, unfinished business. The ghost nodded, my team never beats the Timberwolves. Every season they ran us over. But you got something special, kid.
Starting point is 00:08:15 I see it. If you only put in the work, I can help you win. Danny hesitated, but his desire to improve outweighed his fears. All right, coach, let's do this. For the next three nights under the watchful moon, Coach Knox put Danny through grueling drills. The ghost had him run plays over and over, correcting his form, teaching him to read defenses and helping him sharpen his accuracy. Coach Knox even drew up new plays, ones Danny had never seen before. You got the heart, Danny, the ghost said on the final night, but heart needs focus. Don't let fear or doubt cloud your vision when this pressure's on. Trust what you've learned.
Starting point is 00:08:59 On the game day, the Wildcats faced the Timberlutes in front of a packed crowd as the underdog team took the field whispers of no chance rippled through the stands but Danny felt calm he also almost sensed Coach Knox watching from the shadows
Starting point is 00:09:19 guiding him the game was brutal the Timberwolves defense defense was relentless, but Danny stayed sharp, running plays exactly as Coach Knox had taught him. With seconds left on the clock, the Wildcats were down by four, stuck at Timberwolves' 15-yard line. The huddle was tense. The player looked at Danny for leadership. He thought Coach Knox's words. Don't let fear or doubt cloud your vision.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Phantom 22, Dan called, calling one of the ghosts' play. The team nodded, trusting him. Danny took the snap, faked a handoff, and rolled out. The defense was closing in fast. He spotted a receiver cutting towards the end zone, just as the coach had showed him in practice. With every ounce of his strength, Danny launched the ball.
Starting point is 00:10:20 It soared through the crisp air, landing perfectly in the receiver's hands. Touchdown. The crowd erupted in cheers. The Wildcats stormed the field, celebrating their impossible victory. Danny glanced toward the bleachers and saw a faint figure tipping his hat before vanishing into the night. So the moral of the story is, even in the darkest moments, when doubt and fear creeps in, trust the work you've put in and the lessons you've learned. Sometimes inspiration comes from the most unexpected places,
Starting point is 00:10:59 whether from within you or from a ghostly guide. I like that one. Those are fun stories. So, like I said, I'm going to just do a couple things at the end of the night and kind of wind down. Like I said, most of my day was pretty good.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Everything else is actually kind of warm out today. And tomorrow it's going to start getting colder again, so, so this will be a little bit shorter one, maybe I'll pick up and do a third story, probably one or two, we'll see how it goes, it's my second night doing this, so I'm going to keep on, I'm going to keep on, and then I do something first thing in the morning, I do my groundhog day, pretty much when I get up uh and kind of go through what i'm
Starting point is 00:11:47 going to do for the day and it usually depends on how all my orders go in the morning everything happens for me overnight while i sleep because i go to sleep early i go to sleep at actually i'm going to sleep soon but it's almost 4 30 now so but i was up since 4 30 this morning so got a good day in you know it's always good as long as you just keep going and doing stuff that's what i do makes the day go by but then i shut it down and then like i said we'll get some good dreams and get some good sleep tomorrow wake up made some some orders and and then we just kind of repeat rinse and repeat basically pretty much every day i've just been adding new little features to my um youtube as well as to ebay i put a lot more stuff on today

Because my YouTube is getting better, but I just can't generate any sort of revenue. I finally made the $4,000 mark, but I literally made like $13 so far. That's over thousands of hours of time. This is not quite working out the way I was hoping it would but maybe in the future. It'll get better So I'll just between all these could I rather? Go towards more videos
