dumb expectations

while i didn't expect to win, i did expect to have breakfast and sausage for lunch... i did expect to know where i was going and what to expect there (lunch, good fields, batting cages)... unfortunately, when we got down to the lobby we found out that we were playing at a different field from last year and the hotel was at least a half an hour from the good fields (and on really crappy loose-sand fields like a beach in some places) which meant bad hops, slips, dangerous conditions, no time for breakfast, hunger, and definite discombobulation...

i was also suddenly the coach with all those coaching responsibilities and that left me no time to stretch, warm up, or do my usual pre-game focusing and while that did not show in the pitching (strike out several in the first game and a couple in the second, for instance), my hitting was way off... stiff, uncomfortable, and no batting cages definitely was showing in my swings... i got on base only a few times so far and only once on a hit... that is frustrating... these changes and lack of preparation definitely effected my game big time...

still, i am pitching well, though way too tense and hungry... no lunch at these fields... and still feeling bloated... and, well, did i mention the bug this past week?... well, it's moving around the body and all the ignoring it i've tried doesn't change the fact that it is also effecting my game... and body...

stay positive though, please, m'ok? :)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
