The most depressing thing just happened to me

I know willy has put up a story already but just for grins ill give u my view of what happened. Best Buy was getting in 28 playstation 3's and there were 150+ people crowding around wondering how are they going to do this. Finally around 9:45(the line begins at 10:00) everyone circled around the best buy manager and he told us that we arn't allowed on the road but from there it is anyones game. He told us that as soon as the open sign goes out we are allowed to get in line. Sounds simple but everyone lined up in rows basically preparing to sprint for this. I happily find my self just behind a huge black dude who i had convidence was going to be fast enough that i wouldmt have to slow down at all however there was also a huge fear in me with my arm broken that i was going to get mauled over and make my arm worse being that i am only 14. So it is 9:59 my eye is 100% on this open sign and i see it flicker and go out. I was one of the first to see the flicker and immediately begin sprinting however i look up and real ize the sign is back on so im like oh it was just a joke or something and then it goes right out again and i find my self in the middle of a storm of people. I continue to run and find holes as i worked myt way up as far as i good. The manager handed out numbers 1 by 1 and i figured i have a good chance, i get to the front of the line with about 6 others seeing how its not single file and the manager goes i have 3 left, he takes 2 ladies and a guy and then before i know it im am standng perfectly first in line only to hear the manger tell me, "sorry man, we don't have any more." I just cant believe it there are so many things i coulve done differently to earn that spot but i end up being the 29th person there and miss out on the $2,000 profit all the guys that made it in are chearing about. Im absolutely pissed beyond belief why couldnt i have accelerated 1/10 of a second faster?why didnt i keep running? why didnt i just try to work my way up the line just a little more. well yeah thats my story though me and willy had a good time regardless of what happened
