One of those days…

Ever have one of those days where whatever it is you normally love to do, you just don’t wanna do?  Yesterday was like that for me and tennis.  My USTA Team was scheduled to play Southlake and I woke up feeling grumpy, pouty, and I…DON’T…WANT IT!!!  That’s how I’m feeling about the whole day…hehe.  To quote a Lowen and Navarro song, I wanted to be the “opposite of everything”.  Sometimes though, ya just gotta pull up your big boy panties and do what you gotta do.  With that concept in mind, I head out to the courts. 

Our Cap’n graciously chooses not to play today so that everyone on the team can get their chance to compete.  I am playing the #1 doubles line with Steve…he’s a cool cat.  We are waiting for our court assignments and Marc rolls up holding a big ass goose!…our new team mascot.  I grabbed the iPhone to shoot some video but I guess user error prevailed and I missed it.  That was a chilled out goose too…just kinda hung out with us while we waited.  I tried to strike up a conversation with him, but turns out I don’t speak goose and English was not his first language.

Here is our pre-match vlog:

Steve and I won our weird match, 7-5, 4-6, and 10-6 in a third set tie breaker.  We both kinda checked out mentally in the second set as we shoulda won in straights.  We also won as a team sweeping all 5 matches    a good day all in all.  Still not sure why my energy was so funky…maybe it was lack of sleep, lack of proper body fuel, general malaise…I dunno.  Was a total opposite from last weekend when I was charged up for the tourney Saturday and Sunday.  Oh well…below is our post-match vlog…I had to do a little edit cuz in my candid recounting of the match cuz I used a non-pc phrase that is better to be left out…hehe.

Oh…and I promise to do better with my camera work.  I get a little Blair Witchy sometimes.
