excuses
was playing this NUS 3on3 tournament with a few friends and i couldnt help but realise hall stuff is kinda fun man. damn fun.
anyway, back to the topic. we were quite favoured to win. had good players and all on paper. and we didnt disappoint. we made it to the finals, where we were matched up with quite a good team. however, their players didnt have the credentials to match ours..but they were really good and it was a toss up as to who would win. before the match we were kinda distracted and discussed prize money and stuff between 1st and 2nd places. and since the diff was just 50 bucks, we concurred that 2nd wasnt 'too shabby'. so we went on and lost the match. and to our many shocked friends who asked how we could have lost in the following days, we told em we didnt bother compete and were happy with 2nd.
some people just like to give stupid excuses and not 'man up' when they're just aint good enough and lose. kinda irritating eh. i think i've done it a couple of times myself.
anyway, you might find it weird that i'm writing and citing this example of myself giving a lame excuse for losing. well, thats cause it really isnt an excuse..haha. we really didnt have the motivation and didnt compete as hard as our earlier matches. whether that was so we could have an excuse had we lost or just us being pure lazybums who slacked off i dont know. but it felt like we were walking while our opponents were running. they wanted to kill us while we only wanted to spar with them.
so those guys better watch out. cause next time we wont slack off (kinda sound someone i'm describing in the 3rd para). anyway,if this post seems extremely incoherent or dumb, help me call for help or something. had this head collision yest and i have no idea if i'm concuss-ing. lol. i'm serious.
