HUNGER X WEDNESDAY

I separated this blog into two parts.

PART I

Too many times I have a second guessed myself when it comes to tennis.

If you don't know, tennis is my number one sport and I'm about to play D1 tennis next year.

Over the years I have developed a unique skill that separates me from the average 'nigga'. I come from West Oaklane [NW Philly] where there is hardly a tennis player... SCRATCH DAT, hardly a racket. I've kept playing even when I've hated it; thought basketball was my sport; and even when ignorant people use to mess with me about it growing up. Too make a long story short, I've stuck with it when most of the black players I grew up with stopped or quit.

fast forward >>> '09.

Latey I've been losing matches that I am not suppose to. I've developed a bad habit over the past few years that goes: play well during practice, but horrible in matches. Everyone says tennis is 90% mental, and you can quote the hell out of me when I say that that is 100% true. I go from winning a match at an international tournament on an island in the carribean, to losing a match in a local tournament to a new, less skilled player. It's been fraustrating as hell, and has took a toll on my confidence this past year, but today I realized that beating myself up about it isn't doing anything. SO, instead of contemplating early retirement from tournaments&training. I'm going to keep picking these rackets up until I'm so mentally tough that you can put a glock to my head and I'll still bang a serve past my opponent. If you asked me to summarize this random post on thablog in one figurative phrase, it would go:

Bang bang, I'm hungry again.


PART II

Now that that's off my chest... my day was pretty smooth [like somebody's Pop in a velour sweatsuit with the matching bucket hat... pretty damn smooth] . Woke up after getting about 10 hours of sleep for the first time in a while. Classes proceeded as usual, then school was over. I had to work out with a coach in Plymouth meeting but had time to spare, so I headed downtown. Downtown I spent too much money for no reason. I think I have a problem with buying shit I don't need, but 'ey... I havn't brought sneaks since January and this windbreaker I found on sale is pretty tough...[haha]. But seriously, I need to stop because toomuch_GREENE is just the name of my blog. But all in all, today was smooooth.

Also, in support of their new blog life, add/follow my homie Kalia's blog, she's a baller... so it should popsomethingserious [if you don't understand that lingo, don't worry about it]:
