The End of the World for Me...
What is this strange sensation that is overcoming me? Nooo... it's not the anxiety from being discovered at Taco Bell (ordering the #4). It's that awful word that starts with an "L". I can hardly even pronounce it from seldom using it in my vocabulary. It is "LOST". There. I said it. I LOST in tennis yesterday. It's such a strange sensation to say that word for me. This is what it feels like to be a loser. Dammit. This sucks. Losing is for losers!
Whipping Boy was up 5-0 on my Taco Bell eating ass yesterday before I rallied to tie it at 5-5 in the first set. Then the score became 6-6. Then I lost the seventh game tie-breaker! GASP! I had just lost the first set 7-6. HOW HORRID! I was deflated. I got waxed in the second set 6-2. I was destroyed, ruined, and laid to waste by arch-foe Whipping Boy. It is truly the end of the world for me.
Unfortunately for Whipping boy, there has been a glitch in the tennis ranking voting. Apparently 2 voters came down with sudden food poisoning, 3 voters are missing, and one has been strangled in the middle of the night. At least 10 other ballots have been rejected because of discrepancies. Because of all the alleged events suddenly unfolding, the tennis association in charge of the rankings has no choice but to postpone the new rankings for the time being. Sorry Whipping Boy. I know how much you looked forward to seeing your name at #1. ;) Those damned voters! (EVIL GRIN)

Hey, Brett!
I know how you felt when you lost. I felt that way when Kevin, the eventual champion, stunned me in semifinals in Austin last month. I even felt discouraged to continue playing tennis, but my passion for tennis wont let me do so. Thanks the Universe! Also, this really gave me a great opportunity to work on improving my skills after my weaknesses were discovered through my match with Kevin.
I have something to share with you about last weekend. As I played my club's C/D Singles championships, I was surprised that I beat the seeded number one "C" player (he also was a defending "C" champion) in semifinals. This gave me an opportunity to discover that focusing mentally on my match helped me to play well. I must admit that I had A.D.D. as a child. I've noticed that when I was thinking somewhere else outside the match, I lost a point easily. When I focused on the ball, I played very well. This also triggered my effort to develop my mental discipline.
As I've advanced to the finals, it's scheduled sometime next week. I'll play against the seeded number two who barely beat Kevin in semifinals.
Keep up, my hot Cajun tennis buddy!!!
Loser take your lumps!
Seems like a lot of those "strange" things are always happening in the COONASS State.
Jeff and I played tennis tonite. the first time either of us have touched a racket in years. and we both played in school... we have been bitten by the bug and plan on playing more...especially since there are a lot of courts in the park that we live in...
Ohmigod, you are a LOSER!!!!!
