aproaching a milestone soon.

might be a lil long , for those that do not like reading long threads you can back out now.:grin:

i pulled up the apa website tonight to look at this weeks schedule. i glanced over at the side of the page and noticed i am going to reach 1,000 matches by next month.

i joined in the summer of 2010 . 1,000 matches in 5 years is a lot of pool. it looks like with that much playing i would have gotten pretty good by now...don'tcha think ?

my ex always told me that i always went overboard in every endeavor i got involved in....softball...raquetball...motorcycles....whatever i had and interest in. i guess i have went overboard with apa playing 4 nights a week plus masters once a month. :grin:

i hope i did not make a mistake saying what league it was. i hope this thread stays as civil as my ...how are ya'll doing in league thread. i am sure 1 or 2 will take the opportunity to chime in and say how much apa sucks though .:grin-square:

feel free to post how many matches you have played in your league.:thumbup:

decided to cut this post short.

Nice. Whatever. Who cares what league it is . Point is you are dedicated. And that, alone, is worth something. I started APA in 1998. I've played about 1300 matches over almost 20 years lol. It's fun, if you make it fun!

for the 1st 4 years it was 6.00 a match and was raised to 7.00 this year. i guess you missed the post about league fees.

as for it being worth the amount i have spent the last 5 years.....yea i would say it has been worth it.

90% of the time when i go to league i am able to leave all of lifes little problems at the door.

i don't woory about what a bad day at work i had or the crap i have to face the next day at work.

i don't worry about the heaterin the truck works when it wants to....it has been in the shop 3 times this year for the same damn thing.

i don't worry about bills

i don't worry about things that need to be done around the house

some times i cant help but have other things on my mind but most of the time i dont have a care in the world and forget all about lifes little problems while i am shooting pool. the world does not exist to me outside those 4 walls while i am in there shooting pool.

yea i still have those same problems when i walk out of the pool hall, but the 20.00 or so i spend for the 4-5 hours i am there is well worth it for the best therapy in the world. :grin-square:

My hats of to you sir! The apa around here is nothing but a %ITCH fest which is why I got out of it! Wasn't fun at all. I didn't understand why. I asked a few people that botched and said listen dude,,, you're not gambling big money, you're playing league!! The answer was always I just want to WIN!!!

For myself, when I was playing pool, I found gambling 20,50,100 dollar sets very enjoyable and didn't mind the small bs that's goes with it!

I didnt mean my post to be as negative as it definitely sounded, but I was reminiscing about all the league nights with all the bs!

Either way, enjoy it!!

PS, find a good technician! 99.5% of all the vehicles I worked on are fixed the first time! Period!!!
