2012 Goals
Regarding pool, I am trying to find the much needed time to practice 14.1 Continious and hopefully, yes--hopefully, shoot in a Qualifier for the Word 14.1 Tournament.
When I was younger, I always wanted to play the Big Boys, at least just once. It would have been a dream to play Irving Crane, Joe Balsis, Jim Rempe, Danny DiLiberto, Grady Mathews, etc but that never happened. Time is not on my side and before I get too lazy (or old, not to offend fellow mature players), I just want to get to a point where I can consistently run @30 balls. Key word... consistently.
If I make it through a Qualifier and play in the 14.1 World Tournament, it would be great! Win, lose, draw or indiffer... I can then say I played the best in the World.
Not much of an ambition but an ambition none the less. :thumbup:

Same stuff as last year.
My goal this comming year is to become good enough in APA that I basically get kicked out of league and into masters--currently an SL6.
Our team started out with 2*3s, 4*4s, and a 5 and now has 1*3, 5*5s, and a 6. At this pace we will have to break up the team to comply with the 23-rule.
My goal for league was (and remains) to use league play to find the weak spots in my game, and then fix them before moving on. I've done rather well in this count. When I try to talk with other league player about this strategy, I get the typical open eyed stares and comments such as: a) "but then you will have to play better players and longer matches", b) "that is no way to keep a team together", c) "its easier is you <insert synonym of sandbagging>". a) I want to play the better players and longer matches, b) the team is a means to an end not the rasion d'etra, c) sandbagging makes you a looser even when you win.

I forgot what I was working so hard for...
For the past year and a half I have been practicing religiously and I have actually gotten A LOT better. Unfortunately for me though, I stopped having fun along the way. I feel like I try too hard and need to just let go and play. So my goal for this year is to get back to having fun at pool again and stop treating it like a job.

Lose weight, and keep it off. I am tired of the Yo-Yo thing.
