Contradictio in Terminis

Badminton makes me think I want to learn fencing. It seems sort of similar, y'know, with the movement and everything. Not to mention the fact that you can also cause a person serious injury with a badminton racquet.

Sometimes when I play sports, just as I'm lunging for, or trying to avoid something, I get the feeling that the air becomes heavier...almost like a liquid, and it's like I know I'm going to miss something (i.e: a birdie). It's like I know I'm not going to be fast enough, or strong enough, or able enough to do what I'm supposed to. This feeling usually happens in racquet sports, like tennis or badminton. 

But yes, definetly, badminton/fencing=teh AWESOME
