A New Outlook
I played in two tournaments today. The first one was a scotch doubles tournament at Greenfields with Robert. Neither one of us played well. We won our first match and gave away the next two. In the last game of our last match, I kicked in the 8 ball and scratch. Ugh…
It wasn’t a complete loss. I got to spend time with my friend, introduced him to Old School Burger (our local solution to In-n-Out Burger), and visited some good friends. I debated on whether or not I wanted to play in another tournament but as we sat on their beautiful couch, staring at their giant screen HD TV, I found myself getting the itch. All I could think about was washing the nasty taste from earlier’s yucky pool from my mouth. Yes. I would play in another tournament.
I decided to go to Rack ‘Em Billiards. I hadn’t been in there since they recently changed ownership. The tournament is bar table 9 ball. Race to 4 on the front, 3 on the back. Short races and bar table 9 ball make for anyone’s game.
I got there in time to warm up and I was stroking the ball so well. I felt great. Though I only won one match, I was really happy with the way I played tonight. I broke well and ran out when I was supposed to. I made very few mistakes and the two opponents I lost to played strongly against me. I’m glad I played tonight.
I’ve recently removed some negative influences from my life and it’s really given me the faith, inspiration, and strength to start believing in myself again. I have been in a bit of a funk for the past few months, but I truly believe I’m fighting my way out of it.
I have the drive, I have my health, and I have the resources. I am ready!
