Another End to Vball Season

So this past Sunday's end of season tournament wrapped up another glorious Gotham Volleyball season for the top two divisions.

Let me just say I didn't even feel like playing at all on Sunday. I contemplated not going at all. I even sent my captain a text message saying I would be late, but then of course I can't miss anything like that so I got my ass up and going and got there about 20 minutes before we were to start to play.

Good thing I did because my team only had 3 people when I arrived at the gym. Apparently someone was late on a flight, one was working and two others hadn't been heard from. So thankfully I was there and that made 4 people, the minimum about needed for your team to play.

Of course going into a situation like that with only 4 people, going up against a team o f6 or 7, just makes you think you have nothing to lose. So we played hard and we won. Then by the next time we played we had 5 people. The plane arrived and our player had hustled his ass to the gym.

We won that match too. Then another match. By the time one of the lost players showed up we had 6 and that is when we started losing.

We ended up in 3rd place. And conceivably that is about as high as we could have gone. The top 2 teams were just that good. We lost to both teams in the regular season and the same team, who came in second, knocked us from the winners bracket and then later on knocked us out as they continued on to the finals.

I was very happy with the team though.

Think it was the best we ever played together and not fought along the way.

Oh yeah, speaking of winning teams I do have to mention that the team I was picked up on for the Big Apple Tournament here in NYC won the BB division. Was so funny, I didn't decide to play until the night before the tournament and I walked in and there they were. I thought why the hell not and before I know it Saturday we were kicking ass and then Sunday we were the winners of the day, only losing any games during the finals to take it to a one game winner take all Final.

Thanks to BOSTON SWAT TEAM for including me and finally getting me a gold in NYC. Yeah, NYC is only the second biggest tournament of the year after Nationals, of course. Boston Swat Team pictured just above.

Have You Ever.....

just wanted to cry and you can't? Ever feel like you just don't remember how? Lately I think I just can't anymore. I have been let down a number of times lately, just loving/hating my life, being happy with what I have/wanting more out of myself but you would think at least once I something would come out of me. At least a glassy eye; nothing. I know I am incredibly guarded at all times and I am the one people honestly love to be around because I make you feel good about yourself, but I am starting to think that being that person really does take its toll on me personally. I don't know why. Maybe it is just the giving; what is really left for me. Now I am not saying it is anyone's fault but my own. In the phrasing of Vincent from last season's Project Runway, " I don't know but it gets me off". I do like to make people feel good. Maybe it is I am just saturated with what people say is Real NY. NYC is so real. NYC is about as real as Los Ang...

A Big Hello to......

Mr Eric Larson . Chris at Clever Fool . A couple of readers who were nice enough to identify himself somehow to me. There are more people I could list but I think I will just list a couple at a time and you can also check out their blogs, if they have one and maybe add it to your favorites. Well, on your favorites list below mine, of course. Headed to the park now. Have a sunny Saturday, I will.

Just had to be noted.

So if you were in NYC for the last 2 days you may have seen the news about the Eastside madam who was arrested Monday or Tuesday. Funny thing is they arrested her at her apartment which happens to be across the street from me.(#2 in picture above). Now if you remember from a few weeks ago Governor Spitzer resigned his office and that is also just caddy corner to my building over on 3rd avenue.(#1 in picture above). There is word that this Madam had the black book that had the former Gov. and many others in it. She says she doesn't. I guess we will find out. Funny to to me though that in the picture above he basically could have walked over with a nice appointment after he resigned just a half a block away. PS: Was in a hurry to post so don't yell at me for the crude numbers on the pictures. Haha.
