Ok, so today me, Kenny, Peony, and Brian went to go play some volleyball today like usual. However, since there was only four of us, we didn't have enough for our own team, so they split us up. On this one game, me and Kenny happened to be on the same team with four other guys. During the game, we rotate as usual, and I had to play the center spot, which is supposed to set for the team. If you know me, I am not a very good setter. Nobody ever sat me down and taught me how to set, so everything I do setting-wise is just improv really. So anyway, I wasn't playing great at all, because I wasn't getting the sets in the right place, or bumping well, etc. So there was a span of maybe 6 or 7 straight points for the other team because I wasn't doing so hot. Anyway, after that horrible slump, we finally get the ball back and I shift over one slot in the front row. There was one play where the guy in the back row hit the ball to me, so I try to hit it over but the setter guy wanted to hit it because that's his "job" regardless of where the ball is. Then all of a sudden he turns around, stops, and gives me a dirty look. At that point I was pissed and ready to just punch this guy in the balls. I give him a look back and say "What?" Then the loser guy who made that bad hit in the back row yells "That's the setter's ball." Well hey son, maybe if you hit the ball to the setter, we wouldn't have that problem. The other team saw I was getting angry, so they tried to call us down. This guy is my new enemy. The Porno Mustache Guy is no longer on my hit list. In fact, the PMG is actually a very good teammate. But this newbie really pushed me over the top. I will call him Dick Tracy from now on, because he's a Dick.

Let me continue my rant. In a later game he had to be on my team again. They designated him the official "setter" on every play. I guess they didn't want me to set. Well good for you Dick, you're the official setter of the team. I'll go buy you a t-shirt that says you're the "Setter" and you can show it to your mom. Anyway, he purposely didn't set it to me. Even when he was facing me and I was ready to spike it, he'd set it to some guy behind him, and that guy would spike it into the net because it was always a bad angle. Yo Dick, you wanna win the game? Then start setting it to me. When the game starting getting close, he eventually started setting to me. He started to understand when the game is on the line, you go to your moneymen, knawmean? By the way, we ended up winning that game. We scored five straight points when I served (including an Ace, but I don't mean to brag or anything, I aint bragging really, it was just an ACE). And when he served, it went into the net. Nice job Dick. A dog could've served the ball better. Maybe I should go call Air Bud and see if he wants to play.

So I will finsih my rant with this. People tell me to go and have fun when I play volleyball. And when I get to play with my friends, I do have fun, because most of them understand what I can and can't do on the court, and they accept me for that. But this guy went too far by calling me out that way, AND he was on my team. It's hard to have fun when you got a "teammate" giving you standing in front of you and giving you a nasty stare when you make a mistake. A real teammate would encourage you when you're slumping, and congradulate you when you make a good play. When someone on my team makes a mistake, I clap or give them a hi-five to show them it's ok. I NEVER put my hand on hips, or shake my head, or give them a look of disappointment. Dick expects everyone to be superstars (not everyone has Alex Siu talent ok?). If he wants to play with people who are flawless in their game, maybe he should give team China a call, I'm sure they could use another waterboy. I noticed on the last game where I sat out that when Kenny made a mistake, he put his hands on his hip and gave one of those disappointed looks (Kenny didn't see it because Dick was standing in the back row). But when Peony made a good play or even a mistake, he would go out of his way to give her a Hi-Five (watch out Peony, he might not look like Michael Jackson but he might have the dirty mind of Jacko). Another double standard I notice in society: when a girl makes a mistake, we understand it and encourage her. But when a man makes a mistake, we chastise him and question his judgment). I will be back for Dick. The feud begins.

This concludes today's rant.
