I like you, but . . . Just hate me all the way already

October 13, 2008 by vongsundara · Leave a Comment 

I visited one of my dearest friends while in Montreal this weekend. We were very close when we both lived in Calgary and were on many committees together.

It’s always great to hear your life reflected through the eyes of someone who knows you so well. Our conversation reminded me of just how far I have come in my short time in Toronto. In fact, I feel more accepted in a few months in Toronto than I ever did in Calgary in five years.

The bitterness and anger in my heart and in my comedy has been replaced with joy. It goes to show that sometimes you just have to follow your heart and take a chance.

Big Jump . . . tall, dark and bottom, hot players approached

October 12, 2008 by vongsundara · Leave a Comment 

What a wild and crazy volleyball tournament. My team improved so much, it was crazy. I’m super lucky to have a team that stuck with me through some crazy decisions. There is no way a novice team should be playing this good.

The most drastic decision I made was to try out a new formation mid-tournament. Not only is it crazy that we’re already playing a 6-2 formation, but I went and decided to enforce a new, modified version built specifically for this team’s strengths. The fact that they adjusted is astounding.

In fact, they not only adjusted but fluorished in the new system. We had three separate matches where we thought we played the matches of our lives, each topping the one before dramatically. Strangely, this wasn’t even the best part of the tournament.

My team, SuperPowerBottoms, became notorious across the entire tournament in all the right ways. We were known as the most spirited, fun-loving team. In fact, we received a standing ovation after we lost our last match, narrowly missing out on a medal.

It was crazy that we even had a chance to medal. In our weekly league, TSVL, we were ranked 31 out of 32 teams only just recently. This weekend, we played teams ranked in the top 20 and lost out on a medal by only four points. I can’t believe I am writing this. We are playing top 20 volleyball after only six weeks as a team.

Did I mention that no one on the team has ever played competitive volleyball before? It’s crazy.

I’m going to take a nap. Bye for now.

Big Jump . . . recovery day after a grueling day one

October 12, 2008 by vongsundara · Leave a Comment 

What a day. After breakfast, we went straight to the tournament. We arrived late and missed practice. This was especially troublesome as I wanted to implement minor changes to our formation.

All turned out well as we saved the new formation for our second game. We are ranked fourth out of five teams tomorrow and have a great chance for a medal.

I am astounded with how quickly my team, made up entirely of novices, adjusts to strategy changes. I have thrown very complicated formations at them and they take maybe one game to adjust.

For dinner we went to the tournament banquet. We were so hungry that we danced on stage to move ahead in the lineup for food. It was totally worth it.

Big Jump . . . wandering at night around Montreal is fun

October 11, 2008 by vongsundara · Leave a Comment 

Taking a suggestion from a Facebook friend, I decided to end my restlessness by taking a walk in downtown Montreal. This may not have been the best idea as I’ve run into a number of shady characters. I guess I’m not too worried. I did grow up in the ghetto after all.

It’s now 6:00 a.m. I used my new iPhone GPS to map my way to the closest Chez Cora. I LOVE the food here.

My food is coming. Bye for now.

Big Jump . . . awake and alone in my hotel washroom

October 11, 2008 by vongsundara · Leave a Comment 

The drive to Montreal was fabulous and fierce. The conversations ranged from volleyball to sex to cheese.

Team registration was at a strip club that was chock full of hotties for those into the beefy type. As always, my friends are urging me to “seal the deal.” Lately I’ve been known as the Hopeless Ho.

This nickname stems from my unbroken streak of celibacy since moving to Toronto. I go as far as bringing people home, but then it usually ends in cuddling. I don’t know what it is, but there is a mental hump I can’t seem to get over.

I always thought I was a relationship guy, but right now my career takes priority. This wouldn’t be so terrible except that I am hopeless with single sex and am now celibate. If only I could find some middle ground.

I have probably said too much but it is 5:00 a.m. In Montreal and I can’t get to sleep. I am writing this from my hotel washroom so I won’t wake my teammates.

I hope I will be alert for today’s tournament. I’m nervous to be captaining a team at a major tournament for the first time.

I’ll update as the tourney progresses.

Big Jump . . . and we’re off to Montreal with SuperPowerBottoms

October 10, 2008 by vongsundara · Leave a Comment 

I am on my way to the Big Jump tournament in Montreal with my gay volleyball team, SuperPowerBottoms.

I’m riding in the car with Luke, nicknamed SizeQueenDiva. My team nickname is HopOnTop. Also in the car is Khamla, BlackHole, and Ryan, “Versatile.” We’re meeting the rest of the team at the hotel tonight.

Super Power Tuesday, the new TSVL season begins

October 7, 2008 by vongsundara · Leave a Comment 

Tonight I’m playing volleyball with my team, SuperPowerBottoms. We are a part of TSVL (Toronto Spartan Volleyball League), and tonight is our forth week of league play. We started out ranked 32 out of 32 teams. We’re currently ranked 31!

We actually have a lot of potential as a team. I genuinely believe that we can be a Top 20 team by year’s end.

We have a big tourney in Montreal this weekend. I’ll blog and send photos while I’m there.

Bye for now.
