So today, I decided to release all the pent up frustration, anger, dissapointment, stress, fever and all of that by playing a baseball game along with Doug. Except Doug doesnt have anything pent up. Oh wait, he's getting married. Ok he does have some pent up... stuff. Anyways, First baseball game in my life. Never picked up a bat before, except at the store to pretend that I'm going to hit whoever I'm with. I have to say, I don't think I've batted better in cricket. Everyone was so amazed at my batting, that they asked me, how long I've been playing. I was like yea probably 45 mins or so. Shocked, and unable to fathom the fact that a non-American can play this american pasttime better than them, they started to further enquire, how I would have earned such batting talent. Though I dont see what fuckin talent there is in swinging the ball as hard as your body can possibly muster. But anywyas, I told them, I played cricket... International level. See the sad thing is, I wasn't really known as a batsman in cricket. I was more of an exuberant fielder. But my dad did tell me that when I played a coupla matches when I was home, my batting had improved a lot. He deduced it was because, maybe as I got older, I got less impatient, and waited for the right balls to blast out of the park, and not just at every one. In a way, he is right. I have grown much more patient, and just a little bit more calm in unnerving situations. Maybe it's the experiences, maybe its the whole getting a girlfriend and being more responsible crap. Maybe it's cos I'm 21. Maybe it's cos I'm just good. I'll pass for the last choice. Its the easiest to accept :-p.
Thanks for the well wishes Wen. I hope your boy comes to his senses. I'm a little surprised that he didnt pick up on the fact that you arent too terribly excited about him talking about prom girl all the time. I guess, he's a guy just like me. Although, sometimes I pick up when your upset, right Ting? huh? right? come on, sometimes, like once in a while? blue moon perhaps? But anyways, good luck with that. Beat some sense into him. Sometimes that works on me. Ting's got methods I tell ya. :-p Later all. have a fab week.
