"Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece--by thought, choice, courage and determination"

I am only going to assume, the action I put on the cue ball is going to depend on the kind of certain quality equipments I took into consideration before I orcastrated my concert
Of APA Monday night pool league Blah-blah-blah. Consideration-like, the kind of English that I thought was needed to get the cue ball and the object ball from point A to point B. Also, I took into consideration, how I will apply the action on the ball.
My stance, my form, my attitude, knowing the kind of stick I have, the kind of tip that is on my stick, the weight of my cue stick, how I am handling it from bridge to grip, how I am stroking it, and….and…..and…., yes, the surface I am playing on. Yes, The surface I am playing on, also, taking into consideration, the subtlety of the weather and environmental surface exists in.
Ah, where is Johnny Archer when you need him? Earl the Pearl, I would think might have a thing or two, maybe, even three to say about texture and tooth of the playing field. Tooth is a word; I used often when I do my portrait art from time to time. How the surface complimented pencil or paintbrush slide, along with the variance in quality of the drawing or painting.
Like painting a moment, you see it happen before you attempt to make it so. Yes, the surface of the canvas made a difference on how my paint and strokes would apply the paint and the results.
The Canvas of the pool table. Yes, The pool tables canvas (samonis or other) will influence your stroke. If I am stroking like Rembrandt, and my piece ends up looking like Van Gogh, well, maybe I should be a little more considerate of the canvas I am painting on…er…playing on. |

All I can be familiar with, is…
I’m not going to remember how I got it in the hole. I am not going to remember how I missed getting it in the hole and I am not going to try and recollect as I am shooting, what I am doing.
I’m just going to try and be in the moment, not beat myself up, or pat my self on the back, or wonder with the would-a-could-a-should-a as I am trying to do the best I can to be in the moment.
Try and remember these important elusive principle of your match William, and with a little luck along with your opponent giving you an E8, S8, S8; everything should be cherry. |

Saturday afternoon... Just a note.. Then off to shoot some... then Sunday night... About Dexter...

Sunday Night ..... ShoTime
Nice Guy Serial Killer Dexter Morgan, his code for killing, his code for taking out the trash, the trash being the bad guy who gets away with murder, has nothing in it about killing good cops, cops very much like Dex’s late father, Harry, who taught him the code.
Sgt-Doakes, is an above average cop, unofficially documented as being a royal pain in the ass to villains around. Again I will state, Sgt-Doakes is very-very good cop. Doakes is in trouble now. But, Dexter has to weigh his priorities; it appears he (Dexter) must kill Doakes if he wants to continue being “the dark avenger”.
If he (Dexter) in fact kills Sgt-Doakes, this would be going against his (Dexter) code taught to him by Harry, against everything Dexter is. |

Saturday.... I’m going to share something with you guys, something that all you people should remember.
 Its about three things.
Of course, these three things, should, get done at some-convenient point you'll find, but these three things in life; you should never ever make a priority.
These three things, you, should never ever invest any kind of emotional stress; involve yourself in it as some sort of managerial, meditation session or to be made as an important issue to deal with. Though, Zen practice makes it a point to make clean surounding for yourself, it does not mean to be anal about it.
These three things, will always, be around, long after your children’s-children’s children are long-long-gone; these three things, are not to get in the way, of any venture in your life, these three things should never compromise your family unity, these three things should never ever-ever take up any of your precious time, life is to short to worry or stress about these three petty things.... >
1. Washing the dishes
2. Throwing out the garbage
3. Making your bed
Cause those three petty things, Will still be there, Long long long after you’re dead.

| Entry: November, 22nd. 2007 Thanksgiving day, |
and the the day before and the day after....
|
|
| 
|
| A 14 pounder, and the turkey was mostly gone by the next day…
Friday afternoon: My ribs hurt, I got bear claw, I cant suck in my gut. Im slow moving, I cant think, Im tired... Ok I'll go eat some more...
Thursday night: My family and I watched a movie as we ate wonderfully cooked food from a forest called grocery, a place of canned food, boxed goods and dead wild game.
Planet Terror, a zombie flick, is not the movie to watch with a plate of hot freshly cooked food. But because the Fuentes stomach is made of iron, it was ok to watch; blood, pus and guts slowly ooze and then rocket out of every cavity of the human body in the silly Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez grin house flick. Yeah I can eat thru that...
It was fun and funny and with a bottle of knob creek to help a little as well. |

The next day |
So I noticed there wasn’t much Thanksgiving propaganda going in the city this year. Barely anything anywhere I’m familiar with. I guess it’s just so, what are we really celebrating? Do I even have to say it? Boy, the information super highway thing really knocked that holiday out of the park. Don’t get me wrong, its not like its really bothering me, I’m part Indian; southern Indian as in Florida’dn with some Cuban, Porto Rican, Sicilian-Moors on the rail road along with a little Chinese as well; whatever.
I like the eating part of Thanksgiving, but, why-now are we traditionaly expected to over eat on this day? Hm? Now, can society come up with a new-rational to have this day off of work other than it being Thanksgiving and hearing all the time "yeah-I know about the indians getting the shaft so what are we really celebrating"? One rational for this day. Thanksgiving; to eat with family members we see once a year most of us don’t even want to eat with? The fact the we even have to come with a reason to get a day off and stay in to eat heavily denotes do we even care about how so many generation past were duped into thinking Thanksgiving was a holiday of greatness for America. Can we just forget about it? Forget thanksgiving all together and just chalk it up to a historical misleading to so many people. To do so, would mean, what? |

Sandbagging 101. I'll give him this match, Now I’ll take this match, Then I’ll give him this match, Ill take this match, here is an opportunity for me to miss the pocket, here is an opportunity to win this one. Let me safety like this cause he cant kick this. I got ball in hand I will now run the table…hm.. Maybe Ill let him win this one by hanging the nine. Ok now Ill take this one after I rack.
I’m-talk’n, about non-professionals here…
Sandbagging 101, continued
Your sandbagging! What does that mean? Can you be a D/D+ player and have the skill to sandbag? That’s like saying; I get the ball in the hole 60% of the time every time. That makes no sense…
It takes more skill to sandbag than it does to get the ball in the hole… Too identify some one as a “sandbagger” is indicating that-that person (the sandbagger or one who is sand bagging) is in control of the match or matches they play with you from beginning to end; manipulating results with great skill. How good does one have to be, to think, “today I’ll lose, then tomorrow I’ll win.” You have to be pretty damn good to think you can win and lose anytime you want. Unless your gambling on your win and lose manipulation-attempts, and hope you get the results you want, then again, how many D’s, C’s and B’s do you know whom can afford to just give away games, and then know they can take games when they simply want to? Gamblers? Money players? What if you are not a money player, what if you like to gamble once in a while but have a real job? What if, you just have a transcended aptitude for the game? Along with being fearless fast and free. What if one, or a even a team develops a rapore for there environment quickly?
One’s aptitude for billiards, for some pool players, develops and adapt quicker then most billiard handicap systems can keep up. Meaning, yes, some one can be truly a D one-day and jump up a level or two with minor adjustments or just a simple reminder for an adjustment; like the kind of verbal tweaking in the head that can really affect your game. Handicap systems sometimes cannot keep up with one’s fluctuating skill. Confidence, poise, attitude, these behaviors can make the difference in one getting the ball in the hole one day and blind to it the next.
More importantly in the case of sandbagging accusations. One would have to have a series of losses to actually be a sandbagger. A sandbagger does not have a series of wins, nor does a team. |

Play like The Short Bus Kids ...

|

 Some of us last night on team Get In The Hole, played like we ride the short bus to and fro-too our matches every monday night, at least I got to eat sushi ...
It makes perfect sense, that once I acclimate my game to the bigger table, after months of trial and error, that-now my short table game becomes...well. short.. it's ether or, pick one fuentes, your not Jude, you cannot be great on both playing fields, I think only time can speed up your adjustment. oh well. You cannot have your cake and eat it too, but at least I can make believe... That transition between playing on two table is a skill in it self, which has nothing to do with pool. I think might have more to do with your brain pathways of adjusting quickly to your surounding and enviroment. Sushi is good for the brain, so is chocolate and wine.
