it's madness i tell you!
so i've been clubbing every night since wednesday. sonar, loft 6, legends and mesa luna... and the weekend's not over yet!! i still have to hit fubar tomorrow night at richard's on richards... man, i think this is what happens when i have too much energy... and no boyfriend ;op. oh well, at least my cardio's doing well.

and that's not all...
so if anyone wants to hear drama, here goes. i was so proud of my dragon boat team. i really thought that it was a really compatible set of people. but alas, i am wrong. i've never heard so much bickering about the financial situation of any team in any sort of oraganized sport as this one. is it cuz half these guys are in business? or at least know someone in business? it's really retarded if you ask me. we are such a strong team on the water, so charismatic off the water, and yet when the issues about who was responsible for what comes up, everyone is more quiet than a rock to admit it, but noisier than an explosion to blame it on someone else...
we're headed to the long beach dragon boat competition (among other ones) this summer. when i say we, i don't mean the original team. this is because some people on the team (minus the ones who really can't make it) just don't feel the need to go further with the team than the vancouver festival. what i thought when i decided to get on this team was that this was going to be the most competitive recreational team i've ever seen. i thought that everyone on this team shared the same attitude towards the same goal... but this is not true. so what i want to know is what were those people thinking when they joined? did they think that was it? doesn't sound too competitive to me. and then there are the ones who were so gung ho about the whole success of the team so they tried to involve themselves more (i.e. with the finances), but ended up scrapping the whole idea and leaving the team out to fend for themselves with no clue about what was going on. really people, you have got to get your hands on this thing us teacher-types like to call RESPONSIBILITY. it's not too hard to do, but you really gotta stick to your guns if you want it to work. and some tips for those who can't seem to do anything but complain that things weren't going as planned: if your ideas were so great, where was your initiative to take on that exact thing you were complaining about? some of you just don't seem to understand that nobody wants to do the dirty work for our team. at all. so quit all of your whinning and complaining and cussing and whatever else you're doing that doesn't send any sort of possitive vibe, and do something. we should all be in this team because we want to be in it. and do things for this team (i.e. fundraising, balancing the books...) because it's for the team, not because there is an outside influence (i.e. sponsorship money that could possibly reimburse us) driving us. if you don't agree with that, then take your 20$ and go. don't come back though... you're too much trouble.

*note, my commentary is purely from my point of view, based on what i know, and i don't know anyone on the team that would agree with me. sorry if you don't like it
