I was able to exercise one of my demons yesterday for NAPA League, and it felt great :thumbup:
Back story; My team and myself started playing in National Leagues a few years ago (maybe 3 years now). We've played in a local league for several years, but wanted to try something new out, so we joined the TAP 9-Ball league.. For the most part, everyone was pretty nice and we got to meet a lot of new people, a lot of which have become good friends.... Except for one jackass old timer.. This guy was an a-hole to my team and myself especially (I guess because I am the captain, but I really dont know why) from the first league match we shot against him. Just a real miserable old guy who limped around the table and always had a smart ass comment to make about something.. The sad part is that hes a pretty decent player (I think an APA 7-8, TAP 6 in 9-Ball).
Now, I try to get along with everyone, even if it means biting my tongue at times and putting on the 'Fake' face. But I dont even acknowledge that this jackass is even in the room anymore when I see him (this was
after he said to me about 2 years ago,
"Are you ever going to get any better" :angry
.. I just simply hate this guy, and I truly mean I hate him..
So, of course, hes on the team we played yesterday. I was actually just hoping he wouldnt show up, but he did... It was our call in the blind, so I threw myself up, half thinking their captain would put himself up (very good player, I think hes about a 102 in NAPA 8-Ball), but noooooo. They threw up the jackass. I think he was rated a 70 something (78 maybe?). My rating is a bit higher than his, but I still just felt myself squirming as I walked to the table to lag :barf:. I hate this guy, and now hes in my head and I think he knows it at this point
...
I destroyed him. 5-0.
Didnt even play one safe. Didnt want to give him even a tiny bit of room to whine and complain about his ass whopping ..
Didnt need to though, I just shot his lights out.
It was probably the most satisfying win I've ever had in a regular season match... Needless to say, I slept VERY well last night :dance:
