Tennis is a God
Tennis is great. I played in a tournament with Yosuke's Dad today. We won the first match 6-4, after having been up 4-0. Then the second match we lost 5-7. It was an exciting match. We made a good team, him at the net and me on the baseline wacking passing shots down the line. It feels like it has nothing to do with me. I am a backhand master. One of the few things I don't feel the need to be humble about - because it's not my talent; it was born into me! Sounds a bit ponsy but it's true. I know I am not the best player in the world, but my backhand is! Ah, it's good to be straight sometimes. I did this backhand that was just so sweet I couldn't help but think : "Where the hell did that come from?" And then the Becker curling passing shots too. There is nothing finer than seeing one of those go in. Anyway...
I borrowed about 6 videos of Yosuke too. Lots of Kurosawa Kiyoshi movies. If you get the chance check them out. Pulse ( Kairo ) and Bright Future ( Akarui Mirai ) are superb.
He's also taken it upon himself to teach me useful Japanese which is cool. I'll get there! I really need to battle on with Japanese and use it more and more. I often get stumped and can't put coherant sentences together, even though I can understand a lot of people conversations...
A bird in the hand is pretty cool.
