I play on two traveling tennis teams and I just lost for the first time this year and I'm in a royal tizz. My team lost for the first time as well. I played third doubles and thought it would be a cakewalk and ended up losing to two guys twenty years older than me. I'm totally humiliated. I attempted to get drunk afterwards but they ran out of beer at the club and there was only one piece of pizza left. Of course I haven't been to the store this week so all I have here at home to drink is a flat two liter of Pepsi and a month old carton of OJ.
I suppose this is where I mention I'm arrogant, cocky and way too competitive when it comes to sports. I think I needed this drubbing to bring me back to reality. Please, feel free to laugh in my face and ridicule me. I deserve it. I'm a frickin' loser. The opponents were like two feet shorter than me, too. I missed one of the easiest overheads in the history of tennis to lose the 1st set. My grandmother would have kicked my ass tonight.
OK, I'm going to put it out of my mind and be a mature adult about it. There's always next week. I should look on the bright side and realize there are those in the world who are not so fortunate as I and are too uncoordinated to play sports or they live in a park without a home and must beg for food all day just to survive. Maybe they must turn a trick or two just for a couple bucks in which to buy a stale loaf of bread from Walmart. Geez, what if I was forced to be a male hooker and instead of playing tennis tonight (and losing) I could have been rolling a watermelon at some naked 72 year old man while yelling "bad dogs need to be severly disciplined" and earning $20. What if he made me spank his wrinkly, white tush. What if he wouldn't pay me extra for that. OMG, I hadn't thought of all this. I need to be more grateful for my station in life. Pretend I never complained about losing at tennis. Good night.
