Kicked off the tennis team - 5/25/2000

Well it's about time. Listen children to my story that was written not so long ago...

For those of you who do not know how a school tennis team is built, it goes like so:

1st singles
2nd singles
3rd singles
1st doubles
2nd doubles

That is in order from the best player to the worst player, determined through challenge matches amongst the players. This is how the league says it must be done. I play 2nd doubles. This is the first sign of bad coaching, as I consistantly beat both 1st doubles players, however due to missing 2-3 games because of play practice, the coach decided that I should play second doubles so as not to break up the other doubles team. Well, I never complained because he plays favorites and it wouldn't have mattered. Well, about a week ago, my doubles partner got suspended. Now we only have (or should I say had?) an 8 man team, and you need seven to play, so a JV kid that picked up a racket for the first time in his life 2 months ago was my partner for one match (yesterday). Today, the third singles player was not in school, so now we're a man short. Rules say that in the event someone is missing, everyone moves up a spot. Which according to my coaches ladder, would put me in first doubles and we'd forfeit second doubles. I said that I should play third, since that way we'd keep together the 1st doubles team and since I ebat those two and am better in singles, there was a much better chance of winning than putting me with a scrub. But nooo. (now the fun part of the story)

He announces we'll be forfeiting 3rd singles (another rules breach) and now I'm unhappy. So now I'm pacing back and forth bouncing the racket on the grass (grab by handle, throw down, catch it on the bounce). A player tells me to do it on the sidewalk, so I do (much better bounce, less good for racket). Asst. Coach tells me to stop bouncing it on the sidewalk, so I go back to grass. Tells me to stop bouncing it period, I say no. "Why? It's not against any rules" So he tells me to come over and talk to him. "Why? So you can tell me to stop bouncing the racket and no one can hear?" Well, we end up walking about 30 feet from the bleachers and he calls the other coach (the bad one) over. Here's the dialogue as close as I can remember.

Coach: "What's the problem?"

At this point I take off my sunglasses (which have smiley faces on the lens... really nifty, you'd have to see them) and he gets pissed off and THROWS his sunglasses off his face (I thought he was gonna punch me).

Coach: "What, you wanna take off sunglasses?!?"
Me: "No, I just don't want you to think I'm smiling at you."
Coach: "Do I look like I'm smiling?!"
Me: "I never said _you_ were."
"I know what it is. You wanted to play third, I saw it on your face."
Me: "Yeah. There's a much better chance of winning if I play 3rd"
Coach: "Tough. I don't want to break up a doubles team--"
Me: "What are you talking about? A doubles team that played _one_ time together, and lost. Plus I beat Mike and Chris."
Coach: "That doesn't mean anything"
Me: "This doesn't make a damn bit of sense."
Coach: "You can either play with Reggie or you don't play at all."
Me: "Fine, I won't play at all." (start to walk to bleachers)
Coach: (loudly) "Fine, and ya now what?! You don't have to play anymore! You're done!!"
Me: "Fine!"

At this point I get to the bleachers and mumble under my breath:

Me: "God damn it."
Coach: "Alright, ya know what?!?! Get out of here! Leave the premesis!"
Me: "For what? You have no grounds to kick me out. I'm a spectator now."
Coach: "If you don't leave, I'm calling security!"
Me: "Go ahead."

At this point he storms off into the school (I later learn that he ran into the principal's office yelling and screaming) and I walk to my friends car to get my belongings and return to the bleachers. Well, he comes back, the asst. principal takes me into her office, and we have a nice pleasant chat. Turns out he was about to call the cops on me but the asst. principal stopped him and said she'd get me. We have a talk where I explain myself and whatnot, and although she can't say it because she's admin., she agrees with me. "If you have any problems, take it up with the sports head. I'd rather not have this ball in my court." I told her that I'd do the same thing again. That man does nothing but yell and scream and refuse to let anyone say anything in response, and no one ever stands up to him. Well I did, and I'm glad. I'd rather be off the team and nearly arrested than not stand up for myself. Now I only wait for him to try to suspend me, cause I've done research, and I have the right to a hearing before the suspension. Plus, I'm considering going to the sports head and telling him how the coach has cheated the entire season. Should be interesting.

Musings from 30,000 feet

2006-03-30T21:56:57Z

So here I am, two-and-a-half hours into my flight from Philadelphia to Phoenix, Arizona. This is only my second flight ever, yet I’m as comfortable as if I’ve been flying my entire life. I hadn’t intended to write while on the plane, but other options have eluded me. Sleep worked for a little bit, but that was during ascent and there were announcements that woke me. Then I began reading Catch-22, but it wasn’t holding my attention. Then I began staring out the window and decided to write.

Ti my left is a window. It’s a small window. It seems far too small for my only portal to the outside world. Aside from that little section of double-paned glass, my world is confined to a two-foot wide box and some cramped leg space. But outside that window…

Ice crystals have formed on the outer pane. I wonder how cold it is out there. The fact that we’re moving at a rather large velocity definitely contributes to the ice (convection… let’s hear it for heat transfer), but I still wouldn’t want to be out there. But the ice crystals can only hold my attention for a few moments.

Several thousand feet below is cloud cover. During the initial climb, I looked out on those clouds when we were just above them, so near that it seemed as though I could dive in and collect it like cotton in the top of a bottle of Tylenol. The clouds were stunningly beautiful. Of course the scientific side of me said, “That’s amazing! Water has frozen and gathered together into these shapes. If I look closely, I can see fractal patterns in their makings.” That’s the analytical side speaking. The other side of me was just in awe. Those clouds were beautiful. I don’t know how else to say it. They were pure.

As we climbed higher into the sky, I could see the ground between sections of cloud. It, too, was beautiful. From the ground, what I see often makes me a little sad. Driving to school, for instance, I see countless road signs, utility poles, traffic lights, and various other foreign objects impaling the earth. I am always amazed by those places that are relatively pristine. I’ve never camped, never hiked, and have never been an outdoorsy person. But I love the beauty and purity of nature. Roads are never-healing wounds criss-crossing the surface and factories are tumors that spread their poison for miles.

Yet from 30,000 feet up, much of that disappears. The defining landmarks are no longer street signs or buildings, but rivers and fields. The heavily-developed areas seem fewer than one would expect from a ground perspective. It gives me a bit more hope.

The pilot just announced that out of the left side of the cabin, I am looking at the Missouri & Mississippi rivers. St. Louis Airfield is supposed to be down there somewhere, too, but I don’t see it.

Another thing that looking down from 30,000 feet gives you is perspective. Obviously from a literal sense, but I’m speaking of something a bit deeper. I am in a tiny metal tube nearly six miles in the air. Below me are thousands of people who, unless they look up and see the vapor trail, have no idea that I’m here. Even with that trail, I have no effect on their lives. They go about their daily lives, and I have no idea what that is. Down there, someone is working at a job they hate. There’s a woman expecting a child any moment now and wondering if it will have it’s father’s eyes. Someone is sleeping in class, and someone is going to a convenience store to get a cup of coffee, which he does at the same time everyday.

The point of all this is that there are a lot of people on this planet who most people never think about. To many people, the world ends the moment it is beyond their perception. There are people in foreign countries involved in wars that we have never cared enough to learn about, and there is someone in the next town over who has a birthday today. But most people will never know because, as far as they are concerned, their lives are not affected by what goes on 2,000, 200, or even 20 miles from them. That’s no good. Instead of fighting and worrying about ourselves, we should care about those who share this world with us.

There’s a lot more to it than I wrote, but I can’t really express it in words at the moment. I’ll try again later.

Ask Dr. Kevin

2005-09-28T02:02:05Z

Crossposted from my "real" journal.

This week's letter comes to us from Rachael, in Bumfuck, Georgia. Rachael writes,

Dear Dr. Kevin,
I hardly ever know if guys do or don't like what they see. The only way I ever know is if some guy actually tells me! I'm that dense. My friend once had to explain why some guys honk their horns and wave at me. Do you have any advice?

-Rachael

Well, Rache, that's a very good question. Before I address your main concern, though, I need to contradict a piece of advice you've probably already gotten. The real reason guys honk their horns and wave at you is because they are fucking morons. It takes a special kind of idiot to think that honking your horn at a girl is going to attract a positive response. I have never known a girl to get beeped at who immediately lifted her skirt and bent over a park bench waiting for the big hunk of man behind the wheel to come rock her world. Not if she wasn't getting paid, anyway. But I digress.

On to the real point of your question: How can a girl tell when a guy finds her attractive? Well, Rache... may I call you Rache? Well, Rache, there are several indicators. Some are not what you'd expect. And there are even some that you would THINK are surefire signs that actually don't mean squat! So for all you women out there, I'm going to give you some signs that a guy finds you physically attractive.

Sign #1: He Talks To You - I'm going to go ahead and get it out of the way now: Guys are shallow. So are girls, so don't act like this is any big surprise. If you're in class and the guy to your right turns and starts talking to you, he is at least somewhat attracted to you. Keep in mind, this is if he initiates conversation. If you're the one that starts a dialogue, things are a little trickier. Now it's a matter of what kind of conversation you're having. This brings us to

Sign #2: Questions and Answers - Conversation can be a good indicator of how attractive a guy finds you. If he restricts himself to one or two word answers, that's not a good sign. Also, if his answers tend to be terminators of conversation. A 'terminator' is something that does not allow for open-ended conversation. Here's an example: If you ask a guy what his major is and he answers, "Mechanical Engineering," that's bad, as he has used as few words as possible to answer your question. If he says, "Mechanical Engineering, Junior," that's even worse. Not only has he used as few words as possible, but he has added a 'terminator'. By adding that he is a Junior, it eliminates your most likely next question, ending conversation right there.

Those are signs that he's NOT attracted to you. How about if he is? Well, his answers will be more thought out and longer. Also, he will add open-enders. These are comments or answers that encourage further discussion. Finally, he will respond with a question of his own. "Well, I changed majors, but now I'm doing Mechanical Engineering. How about you?" This guy thinks you're a hottie! First, his answer is longer. Second, did you spot the open-ender? By pointing out that he changed majors, that paves the way for you to ask about that major change, which in turn gives him more opportunities to ask about you! Finally, he returns the question. He's interested in getting to know you. It may sound mean, but it's the truth: If he didn't find you attractive, he wouldn't care.

Sign #3: Eyes Never Lie - When talking to a guy, what he says isn't always the most important thing. The movement of the eyes has far less thought behind it than what he says, so pay attention! First, do his eyes move up and down? If so, congratulations! He finds you attractive! What's happening here is that he is constantly reassessing your appearance. Basically, he's checking you out. Everything from your boobs to your stomach, and even your feet, ankles, and calves if they're visible. He'll then realize what he's doing and bring his eyes back up to yours. Watch his face: if he only spends a split second on an area before coming back up, he saw something he didn't like. He may also make some sort of scrunching face, but it will be subtle, so don't miss it.

"But this guy always looks me in the eyes when I'm talking to him! He thinks I'm a troll!" Au contraire, mon ami. This may be an even better sign! First of all, remember that he's still looking at your face. Since he's willing to look at your face for that long, he obviously finds it attractive. What this often means is that he finds you so attractive, he is making a concious effort to not 'check you out' so as not to make it obvious. This is especially true if you are wearing something at all revealing. A low-cut or clingy shirt, or even a skirt which bares a bit of leg. As a bonus, this avoidance of roaming eyes is generally an indication that he not only finds you attractive, but that he's interested in you as a person. If he wasn't, he wouldn't care if you caught him sneaking peeks.

Watch out for eyes moving from side to side. While this could indicate nervousness, when combined with short answers and terminators, it means he simply doesn't want to look at you. Not only does he not find you attractive and doesn't want to assault his eyes, but eye contact indicates interest in a person and he doesn't want to encourage your talking. When the eyes move from side to side, he is usually looking for something more aesthetically pleasing to catch his eye. If he avoids looking in your direction as much as possible, pretending he's looking at something else... well, better luck next time.

One thing to keep in mind... this final part does not apply to established friendhips. If he's your friend, rest assured that he finds you attractive. How attractive will vary greatly, but if he willingly hangs out with you (especially if he initiates it), you're attractive to him. His eyes moving side to side in this case means one of two things. A, you are unattainable to him (i.e. you are taken or already established that nothing will ever happen between the two of you) so he is window shopping. B, he is comfortable enough with you that checking out other girls while with you is not taboo. You can do the same.

That takes care of people you're talking to. But what about the random guy that you just pass by?

Sign #4: The Beep/Whistle - Let's get this out of the way now. If a guy beeps his horn at you or whistles at you as you're walking by, you're a hottie. There's also a fairly good chance that you're wearing really tight jeans, a short skirt, or have your boobs hanging out. While I wouldn't recommend talking to the guy doing the beeping/whistling, you can definitely walk a little taller knowing that you're looking particularly sexy. Also, check your boobs.

Sign #5: The 'Sprinkler' - You've seen automatic sprinkler systems, I'm sure. Here, I'm alluding to the ones that rotate, spraying the water side to side. When they reach the end of the arc, the far right for instance, it whips back to the far left quickly and then begins its slower travel to the right once more. Well, picture a guy's head as this sprinkler. When an attractive girl walks by, a guy's head is the sprinkler. His head slowly follows her, drinking in the sight of her. When she is out of sight, his head whips back to its starting point. However, this can be very hard to catch, as looking at the guy causes the same whip back. (The ones that think they're crafty will pretend to be looking at something else. These ones are always easy to catch... if he's looking at everything but you, it's YOU he was caught checking out) To catch these guys, watch the eyes. A guy will pay close attention to which way his head is facing and will turn to hide the fact that he was staring. However, if he's already facing your general direction, he will make no effort to avert his eyes unless you stare right into them. So as you're walking down a hallway, up/down a flight of stairs, or even standing in line at a store or in a cafeteria, watch the eyes. Dead give away. If they spend more than the half-second appraising glance on you before darting away, you're looking good.

This covers the strangers. There are a few things you should know about people you have established relationships with.

Sign #6: Nice Shirt - Compliments are tricky. The key factor is in what he is complimenting. Let's break this down into three categories:

Articles of Clothing - Unless the article is especially nifty (as in great colors or, more often, a witty saying), a guy is never complimenting your fashion. Instead, he is complimenting what that piece of clothing is covering. "Nice shirt," never means, "Nice shirt." "Nice shirt," means, "Wow! That shirt makes your boobs look fantastic!" "Nice pants"? "Wow! I really love the way your ass looks in those pants!" Get the idea? A compliment here is made in the hopes that you will wear that article of clothing more often and bring some joy into his otherwise dull and uneventful life. This always means you are attractive. Especially certain parts of you.

Accessories - First, we define an accessory as anything that covers an 'insignificant' part of the body. A hat, earrings, shoes, a watch... etc. In this case, "Nice earrings," means just that. He likes your earrings. It does NOT mean, "Wow! I love the way your ears look with those earrings!" But still, it DOES mean you are attractive. As horrible as it sounds, a guy will not waste his time complimenting an ugly girl.

Hair - Don't put too much stock in hair compliments. They only come when you just got your hair cut, dyed, highlighted, or styled it in a way that you usually do not. Any compliment here has an equal chance of being that he actually likes it or that he's just saying it to be nice and to let you know he noticed. Either way, you're attractive. Either he really likes the hair, or he cares enough about your feelings to bring it up. And since we've already established that guys don't have ugly female friends...

Sign #7: The Half-Joke - If a guy ever 'jokes' about sleeping with you or seeing you naked, he's only half joking. You're a fox, and he would love to sleep with you or see you naked.

Sign #8: According to Dr. Kevin - And finally, the definitive indication! If you send Dr. Kevin a picture of yourself in various states of dress and undress and he tells you you are attractive, you are. Without a doubt.

While these are not the only indications that a guy finds you attractive, they are by far the most common and most reliable.

My, my, my. Well I'll start out with the title of the entry. That's right, boys and girls (well, mostly girls), today is my birthday. At 23-years-old, I am now one year closer to being the creepy old guy who talks to girls online. How am I celebrating my birthday? By being sick. Yep. Sick. Stuffy head, coughing and wheezing, dizzy and miserable sick. I've been sick since Saturday. And while I would love nothing more than to lay in bed all day hugging a pillow and keeping my eyes closed as much as possible, that's not an option.

You see, on Mondays I only have two classes. The first one was an easy skip. The second one, Thermodynamics, I had to go to. Homework was due, which also means we had a quiz. Plus, the first exam is on Wednesday. So I drove half an hour (driving is fun, believe you me), had a class for a little over an hour, then drove half an hour home again. Then I get to go BACK to Rowan later. At 5pm is an ACA intramural soccer game. I have no intention of playing if I can help it, but I'm still going to go. I'd stay home, but I also have a meeting tonight at 9:15pm. And between now and leaving, I have homework to do (not due until Friday, but I need to get as much done now as I can) and I desperately need a nap.

That's today. Saturday night was... ugh. We did a recording of the show. It's not up yet, and I don't even know if it WILL go up. The main event was that, as a little experiment, I went from sober to drunk in just over an hour. BAD idea. I've never drank that much. Bad, bad, bad. I'm sure the recording will be interesting to listen to, but ugh. Sunday morning, sickness + hangover = Kevin was NOT feeling well at all. Bleh. Even know, if I even think of the taste of vodka, I start gagging. Alcohol has never excited me much to begin with. Now I'm pretty much done with it. Just not my thing. But at least my drunkeness is immortalized in mp3 format.

I watched Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. The movie is pretty much a really long cut scene. Tifa rocks. I want to play FF7 again. The plot? Nearly non-existent. The action sequences... wow. That's really the only way to describe it. And once again, Tifa rocks.

I love Gilmore Girls.

I still have to remind myself that life is not a movie. See... there are things I want. But I cannot have them, for any number of reasons. But because I know these "things" exist, I cannot settle for less. When some"thing" is largely responsible for serving as an example of what is out there, how could I want any"thing" else? Even if I talk about other "things", that is only because what I truly want is unavailable to me. But alas, I am an optimist and an idealist, so I continue to hope for and anticipate that fairy-tale ending.

Well, that took an odd turn. I need my nap now. Then I can wake up and get cracking on other stuff. Fun fun.

Leave birthday love.

Today's "Awkward Moment of the Day"

2005-09-16T21:01:49Z

In the truck with my grandfather, on the way to the gym.

Pop-pop: "So your mom tells me your car seat is broken."
Me: "Yeah. There's something wrong with the mechanism where it isn't locking all the way. If I put too much pressure on the seat, it just drops back."
Pop-pop: "Well you know, if you had room in the back seat you could have her back there. Now you've got her in the front and putting all that weight on the seat."
Me: "I guess it didn't help that there were two of them."
Pop-pop: "Yep. Probably a bit hefty, too."
Me: "Eh, they were Asian, so they were tiny."
Pop-pop: "When I was a young fool, I used to get quite a few pieces on my motorcycle."
Me: O.o "...guess you needed pretty good balance for that one."
Pop-pop: "Well what you do is carry a blanket around in the saddle bag and lay it on the ground. If not, you sit her on the saddle in front facing you. Then lay the blanket on (something I don't remember), lean back, and start pumpin' her."
*silence*

Gah! Partial insomnia

2005-07-17T16:40:15Z

It's 4:18 in the bloody morning, and I'm awake. For some reason, I have been unable to sleep at night. For instance, yesterday, I got home around 8PM. I went to sleep around 10PM. I woke up at 2AM. Could not fall back asleep. The other day, I fell asleep around 2:30AM. I woke up an hour later and could not fall back asleep. That is, until 8am rolled around. Then I fell asleep and stayed out until the afternoon.

It's ridiculous! Not only is it ridiculous, but it has to be fixed pronto. I have morning classes in the fall. I want to get back to running and stuff in the morning. I can't work if I'm sleeping like this. It's absurd.

Since I don't want to waste an entire entry to say, "Hey, I can't sleep!" I'm going to let you know what kinds of classes I'm taking in the fall. Yay.

Freshman Clinic I. This is a class that I'm retaking because I missed 80% of the classes the first time around. Nothing noteworthy.

Junior Clinic I. This is cool. You may remember the crane projects from before. That was Sophomore Clinic. This time, we're dealing with real world problems. One of the options is working with Engineers Without Borders (EWB). Each school that participates is assigned a problem, and it's up to them to engineer a solution. Last year, students did something in Thailand. Actually flew out there. Awesomeness. Last I heard, this year's EWB project for Rowan is harnessing geothermal energy on an Indian Reservation. The geothermal energy needs to provide power, heating, etc. It's such a great organization, and provides great experiences.

Machine Design & Synthesis. Designing and building an actual machine. A typical example is designing and building a two-cylinder air compressor from the ground up. Two projects during the semester.

Engineering Thermodynamics. For things like steam power, refridgeration and heating systems, combustion, etc.

Microeconomics. I'm not sure why I have to take this. I think it's because they're keeping the financial issues of engineering in mind. After all, much of it is about designing a product. A product that needs to be built, sold, etc. I'm sure it'll be incredibly boring.

Should be fun. Lots of hands-on design stuff. And I'll be busting my ass to make up for past slacking.

On the other hand, the fall semester is going to suck in a lot of ways. And by "a lot of ways", I mean Sheryl is going to be gone. Now don't think that I'm saying, "OMG, my world is coming to an end!!!" But ACA... well, that won't be nearly as fun. And since I commute, I don't really hang with a lot of people from school. Sheryl was the exception, as we always had lunch together and whatnot. Now granted, the engineering stuff should keep me pretty busy, but as far as social aspects... well, that part will be boring.

Here's my problem (and I totally recognize it as a character flaw): I can be intolerant of people. "But Kevin! You're such a kind and wonderful person! You're not intolerant!" That is true. But I'm referring to people that I consider friends or potential friends. I am friendly towards most people, but that doesn't mean I want to hang out with them on a regular basis. This is especially true of people I share the same interests with. We all know I'm a big dork. Star Wars, comic books, video games, some anime, fantasy/sci-fi books, etc. Sterotypes are stereotypes for a reason. It's rare enough to find someone who likes those things, but is also a fun and cool person. (If you're reading this, you qualify) But to find that same person in the same geographic vicinity? Not as easy. Maybe I'll check out the Anime Club at Rowan this fall.

Well, I'm going to find something to keep me occupied until I manage to fall asleep. Going out tonight for Chris' birthday. Not anything fun. He wants to go sit at a bar or something, so we'll probably do that. Excitement. Oh, and Rache? Guess who bought Harshini today?

MEA sucks. That is all.

Two finals down...

2005-05-04T17:14:17Z

Well, yesterday was my Manufacturing Processes final. It was a little more difficult than I expected. And by "more difficult", I mean, "I left out an entire section on my formula sheet, so I was lost." But after sneaking a peak at a neighbor's formula sheet, I think I did fairly well. Today was Dynamics, and I kicked that test's ass. I would have been out nearly an hour early, except for the fact that I was having difficulties solving two simultaneous equations. Since I'm lazy, I was trying to just do it on the TI-89, but I was getting numbers that I KNEW couldn't be right. I asked the teacher, and he said everything looked right as far as procedure went, so I finally just did it by hand. Wouldn't you know, the numbers looked much more reasonable. Good job. This leaves only tomorrow's MEA final (which I am terrified of) and the project for MEA. Also, I need to do the overdue homework, but that's just busy work.

There is a downside to finals week, though. I had one final yesterday, one today, and one tomorrow. That means that I drive half an hour to school just to take a test (which at the MOST takes two hours, since that's the time given), then drive half an hour home. I can't even get lunch with anyone after because THEY have finals. Sucks.

In other news, my poker bankroll should pass $1,000 this month. Granted, considering I've been playing since the very end of December, that is not all that impressive, but it's still not bad for an initial $100 investment (which I've already withdrawn). And now that school is finishing up, I can move up in limits and/or go to AC more often, which will see an increase in growth (an increase in the slope of money as a function of time, if you will). My goal of having a new car by the end of summer becomes more feasible every day.

Well, it's only 1PM and I have an entire day ahead of me. Studying will hopefully take up much of it, but only time will tell. Until next time!

This LJ is only here so I can read friends only journals. Took forever to set the damned thing up, too.
