Kid races his dead father in video game

[Army of One]

Well, when i was 4, my dad bought a trusty XBox. you know, the first, ruggedy, blocky one from 2001. we had tons and tons and tons of fun playing all kinds of games together - until he died, when i was just 6.

i couldnt touch that console for 10 years.

but once i did, i noticed something.

we used to play a racing game, Rally Sports Challenge. actually pretty awesome for the time it came.

and once i started meddling around... i found a GHOST.

literaly.

you know, when a time race happens, that the fastest lap so far gets recorded as a ghost driver? yep, you guessed it - his ghost still rolls around the track today.

and so i played and played, and played, untill i was almost able to beat the ghost. until one day i got ahead of it, i surpassed it, and...

i stopped right in front of the finish line, just to ensure i wouldnt delete it.

Great story.   

So that would make you about 17, right?

As  I get older and older, I really regret the times I was mean to my parents (as all children/adolescents are). Now, if I find myself getting frustrated at them, I try to take a step back and respond more appropriately. I know they are just being parents. I mean, if I am angry at them, I will express myself, but I definitely try and do it in a more appropriate manner. It just makes the whole situation better

But how is this bodybuilding related?

Are you hoping that Kai's son will do a nasty strip routine alongside a hologram cgi kai greene in the future after kai keels over from natural causes
