Got my ass whipped tonight
    #7403211 - 09/12/07 11:45 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

OK, that was an attention getter as it was not really an ass-whipping, but I lost 12-15, 15-13, 10-15 on the racquetball courts - a rarity!

I genuinely thanked my opponent for the lessons and he looked shocked as most losers will either fail to shake hands (except when they win) or make excuses why they lost.

I thanked him because through his actions he clearly pointed out the weaknesses in my conditioning and mental focus. What more could one ask for in a teacher?

Of course, being stuck in ego prevents any sort of learning and inevitably leads to general grasping for a reason why the 'unthinkable' happened.

why is it that Raquetball players make so many excuses. I havent played in probably a year, but everyone had some knee problem or tennis elbow, or sniffle.

It is hardly exclusive to RB. It is the same in any competitive arena. Basically, most everyone believes they are doing everything correctly; real-world results non-withstanding.

Did you hear Serena Williams after her loss to Henin in the US Tennis Open? "She got lucky!"

Yes, the #1 player in a game of 98% pure skill got lucky with 31 winners.

it seems more prevalent in RB though.

not that I used to be some kickass raquetball player, but I was decent and only got my ass kicked by the 70 year olds... which sounds so weird.

You're getting old and stiff. Your youth is past and your powers are waining. There is little left to hope for. I suggest ending it all now why you still have a modicum of self respect. :heart: You will not be forgotten. (for up to a week):sun:

Sad, but true. I tried to write it off as some great learning experience, but you saw right through it.

I was thinking of having a "Goodbye Smarmi", Shroomery Gathering, wherein I party myself to death as everyone sez good-bye and fights over my stuff.
