Damn you, SeaBreeze.

Ok, So I totally need to write a blog to catch you up on life, but I am not doing that right now. What I need to do right now is get something off my mind. And it is this:

I HATE losing to poor sports. I may not like to lose in general, but god damn do I hate losing to a poor sport.

I've had a super enjoyable season of playing co-ed softball for the Tram sponsored team, The Slammers. We have not been a top of the league team by any means, so we are totally familiar with enjoying the games win or lose, having some laughs, and doing it just for the hell of it. This is after all co-ed summer softball in the lowest league, so no pressure. And as the season has progressed, we have gelled as a team, started winning some games, figuring out what our strengths and weaknesses are, and really just coming together, which has been super fun too.

So, tonight, last game of the season for me (more on why in a different post, I'm taking a trip) - We're playing the number one team in the league, who we've played before, and we're thinking.. let's git this done, and beat the hell out of this team- and we go out there and we play a great game, and so do they, it is filled with exciting innings of great plays and errors by both teams- tight defense and impressive offense all around, which culminated with them winning by one run in the last inning. And that would be totally ok, if not for their yelling at the umpire when they disagreed with a call, and arguing balls and strikes multiple times.

It is totally not attractive to lose your head and let your feathers get ruffled when you are behind. And it's so not cool to argue with the umpire. Bad show Seabreeze, bad show. And that made losing sting in a whole new way.

Ahhh, ok. I feel better now after sharing that, the anger sharks are no longer in control of the ocean of my mind. Actually, that calm might be coming from the dvd of Huey Lewis and the News Videos Kirsa just put on. No joke. If you've never seen any of the videos, youtube them, they are seriously insane, and funny. And the music is divine... but you already knew that.

More Soon.
