nineteen

forgot to blog the past few days. it's been kinda hectic and fun. didn't do anything crazy last friday. just went to work and stayed in cuz i had the company billiards tournament the next morning.

the tourney started at 9am on saturday. it lasted all the way up until 5pm. so it felt like a long day. we played the team tournament first. my team went the distance in the first round. it was a best of 7 series and we had to use all 7 games. we ended up losing but it was a close match. our opponents were all guys who played in a league. we only had one guy on our team that played in a league. in the singles competition, i beat 3 players and advanced to the quarter finals. in that round i had to play my own teammate. it was a best of 3 series and we took that game to the limit also. he won the first game and then i rallied back and took the second game. in the third game, i had a chance to win it but i choked on a easy shot and he took it from there. at least i lost to my own teammate, someone i like. and it turns out my teammate ended up running the gauntlet and took the singles title!!!! i was so proud of him. we spent endless hours in my garage practicing and it payed off for one of us. we ended up celebrating at toro sushi after for some sake bombs. we had said in the last team practice that if any one of us wins, we would do sake bombs. and sure enough, we did!!!!

after toro sushi on saturday night, i went home and relaxed for a bit before i had to go to eastlake tavern to celebrate abie's b-day. got to see some old high school friends that i haven't seen in a long time. it was fun but i didn't even feel like drinking cuz we ate so much sushi and the sake bombs were creeping up on me.

sunday was the chargers game and they creamed the chiefs. it was very satisfying, since the chiefs are in first place right now. if they lose one more, we take over first place. there's only 3 games left in the season so we gotta handle business. i think we can pull it off and head into the playoffs.

today felt like a long day too. i left my house at 730am and didn't get home til 930 pm. i did overtime at work and then headed straight to my parents place so we could go visit my grandma in the hospital. she's in a lot better shape now. i'm glad to see her getting better. hopefully she gets her strength back and is able to get out of the hospital soon.

that's it for tonight. hopefully i don't forget to blog tomorrow.

payce.
