You win some you lose some...

How many of each depends on you. Sort of.

Bad game of basketball, I really need to work on my fast break finishes and points in the paint in general. I felt this time around though my team was taking a lot of bad shots. A lot of bad shots. A lot of bad shots. I know its all fun and friendly but damnit I like to win. I like to win especially when I know we can win. We weren't out matched or undersized or anything. There were just a lot of "black holes" on the team. Granted, they made some good passes here and there but for the most part a lot of forced shots that I felt should have been kicked back out.

I'm not blaming them, its just an observation I've made. When other folks on my team aren't doing too well I suppose then the only thing I have control over is what I do. In this case, I will need to play even better.

On an unrelated note, (because I talk about basketball and work too much) I had a great time going home this past weekend for my father's birthday. We went to House of Prime rib which was pretty darn delicious. It wasn't a Donovan's but granted it was a little bit more reasonably priced. I began drinking with my father and realized some of his drinking habits were most likely passed down to me. We had some Jack and Cokes, some glasses of wine and a few more Jack and Cokes. The seed doesn't fall far from the tree, especially if the seed falls into a glass of wine.

Afterwards I met up at my homie's house and caught up for a little bit. Proceeded home and knocked out. The next day we had a bigger family lunch at a Chinese restaurant. Food was okay, I just really like their honey walnut prawn dish. I left to meet up with Derek and Mike to watch Battle Los Angeles. Pretty solid movie, very solid friendship. I like how we can come back together and it's just like old times but new. I suppose the title can be applied to this friendship as well, you win some you lose some which ones and how many depend on you.
