unsolicited advice/grab bag
Just got back from the Other Club I attend when my usual isn't in session. Mostly had a good workout, but....
Understand, I like it when my opponents tell me where I'm messing up - I can use the feedback to correct my game. Even better is when my opponent is much more skilled than I and willing to show me some ways to correct my game.
Not so cool is when said Experienced Opponent(TM) starts drilling me like.. well, a drill instructor. Yeah, I needed to practice it, but I didn't ask for an impromptu lesson and I didn't ask to be barked at - I do not take orders well, especially outside of "lesson space".
What was worst though, is that while his delivery sucked, EO made some good points.
I have learned much, but I am not a Jedi yet :/
If you've not seen Act I of "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, go now. It has Nathan Fillion in a tight t-shirt, evil laughs, and a silly song about bad horses. No, go on, I'll wait.
Stuff Lesbians Like. Make of it what you will.
I am eyeing 100 pushups with.... tempted trepidation.
