i'm sad
i want to play basketball, but the work league is too competitive. i'd say there's only a few guys in my league, maybe 5 of them? i mean the decent ones, not the bad players. le sigh.
i know jimmie jimmy is going to play a league with andre and darrell. i know eric doesn't want to play with us. and just today i found out that steve and greg are joining another team in special programs.
the only person i would love to play with again would be rich, who happens to be the "old guy" (he's 55). i'm "the girl" since i'm the only one in the league. so we have the odds against us. terribly so. i actually know what's wrong with my playing. i'm getting better, but it'll take more time and practice to get where i want to be. i don't have the look for good passes. my shot's better though and i've begun working on my left hand. i'm short and weaker in comparison, but i think i need to make this up in speed. and maybe the weight room ;) so i do have a few things i'm working on, but without constant play, i'm not sure how much progress i'll make. we'll see. if anyone knows of a league with girls or coed.. i really really want to know.
my softball team is in the playoffs! i'll miss the championships, but i think we'll be ok. i can't believe it. i'm the worst on the team. i just pray to get a good hit. :) which i do every now and then. i need to practice on my fielding though. as soon as i get it a little bit, as soon as i find that feeling (the same type i have when i shoot a good shot off the fingertips) i think i'll feel better about fielding and i'll trust my reaction. if i can't play much basketball i might pick up a little soccer. we'll see.
dude! there's one guy today who is a great guy off the court, but when he plays it's like he's playing football. dude. so wrong. i got smacked in the face twice. from him. then there's the other guy who pushes you with his open hand. i know it's not a big deal, but i'm just venting. i actually grabbed his arm and tried to force it back to his side.
i just want to get better. double le sigh.
oh yeah! this weekend i attended a trip with my work orientation people to yosemite. i didn't get along with everyone per se, but overall, it was amazing! the bridal falls?!?! oh my goodness. everyone has to experience it just once. it felt like lord of the rings.. or that last scene in crouching tiger hidden dragon. so magical.. i did the 14 mile hike/climb.. and i dont' think i'll ever want to do it again.. hike it at least. i'd want to run it. i think running would put less strain on my knees and body in general.
anyhoo, it is my beddybye time. sleep tight peoples!
