tennis anyone?

Okay, so I'm really sorry it's taken so long to update this. Actually, I'm not sorry at all. I've been busy with exams and I'm not even finished yet. I have my final exam for psychopharmacology on the 28th and I leave for 2 weeks to British Columbia the next day. As I mentioned, I was busy with studying, but more so with apartment tennis. I don't think it needs much of an explanation other than the fact that the net is make-shift (Fight Club poster held up by boxes) and there are not any solid rules - except that when something breaks it must not stop your game. Broken glass can wait, competition between young adult males cannot. So without further adieu, here are some pictures from the championship match.









We decided that Tyler kicked my ass because he broke the martini glass, while I only broke the blind.

Tennis kicks ass.
Apartment tennis seems to involve less running than real tennis. It also seems to involve more breaking stuff. I think you've got something here.

Yah but Ry, you have such a more masculin tennis form than tyler does. So shouldn't you win? ;)
I feel like we need to hang out again. I haven't spent any time with you in a long time. And the visit to see me, your local mutant, doesn't count, though I do appreciate the cough drops.

Anyhow, I should be studying. Stats is about to kick my ass AGAIN.

mike - I'm glad you're my new roommate. I no longer feel like I'm living in the silverback exhibit at the zoo.

Apartment tennis sounds cool, but it can't compare to what I've found in Murderball. I've never actually played it, as I don't have a wheelchair, but it is Awesome! Picture it... It's basically a fine-tuned blend of Rugby, Basketball, and Bumper cars played by Quadriplegics in souped-up wheelchairs! There's even a World league and everything! Don't believe me? Take a look here

Even though I saw the after effects of the tennis game I was a little bummed out that it took place during my exam. We need to start up a summer league. Ry, all I can say about the silverback comment is long live the swiffer!!!

nice, short and sweet ryan.

I used to play volleyball in my friend Jay'S (mARIS) basement when i was a kid. We stacked t.v. dinner trays on top of each other and through a bed sheet over top... we couldn't see where the ball was. so sweet.

So i finished my last exam about an hour ago. Needless to say, it was sweet. Political theory was my bitch. i own you Mill and Marx. I ran into by prof in the on-campus bar afterwards chillin with my hot TA. I asked rhetorically, "shouldn't you guys be marking now?" and he told me to leave... so sweet.

Now i'm off to molly blooms to get some wings. Whats the deal with my fan club? who's that anonymous fan of mine with the infactuation? I hope i met your high expectations... i'm not of the sort who likes to disapoint.

Damn you Tyler. Why did you have to break my martini glass? Now how am i gonna look sophisticated and drink at the same time? Anyways, I just want you all to know that I will dominate this summer at apartment tennis. Or just be the referee while I drink a martini out of a coffee cup. Either way works for me.
