Last week I attended day 2 of the Crown Plaza Invitational at the Colonial in Fort Worth. This was the first time I attended a professional golf tournament and it definitely will not be the last. I had a great time. I didn't stay very long though because it was very hot and I forgot my sunscreen. I know what you're thinking. Tony, black people don't need sunscreen.
1. Yes, we do! I burn on my arms and nose.
2. I'm half white.
Anyway, I got to see the best golfers in the world up close. Very close! At one point I was so close I could have reached out and touched Phil Mickelson's man boobs if I wanted to. I didn't want to.
The night before the tournament I tweeted Y.E. Yang (local Pro Golfer) telling him to look out for a 'brotha with a blue shirt on' and to give me a 'head nod'. Surprisingly, he responded "I'll try, but no promises". Cool! Don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of person who gets 'Star Struck'. My heart doesn't start racing and I don't break out the pen and pad for autographs when I see a celeb or big athlete. I just like to say "what's up" and maybe brag about my encounter on twitter and facebook later. I've met Dan Marino, Sugar Ray Leonard, Danny Glover, Ben Stein (cool as hell), and a bunch of other athletes (Apolo Ohno is tiny). No big deal.
Back to Y.E. Yang. So, I'm at the 10th and after he hits his tee shot he starts walking to his next shot and looks right at me. I feel it. He's about to give me the head nod. Then he looks to my left. I follow his eyes and there's another black guy with a blue shirt on! What the hell? Y.E. doesn't make any expression and keeps walking to his ball. I thought I'd give it another shot and started walking to the next hole. The other blue shirt black guy followed me! "Why are you following me man? I understand there is strength in numbers, but we do not always have to stick together. I do not feel threatened with the 99 to 1 white to black ratio here. Back off a little please." I said this in my head of course. I see this often though. In large crowds different races voluntarily segregate themselves. I also see where it is not so voluntary.....
Like in Theater.
Everyone knows the stereotype 'blacks are always late'. As an African American male I am here to confirm this stereotype is 97% TRUE. The only reason I say 97% is because I am never late, so I'm guessing there has to be others out there like me. Haven't met them yet, but surely they must exist. So the next time you're in a theater survey the landscape of the audience and pay very close attention right around the time the lights go out and the previews start. This is when my brothas and sistas show up. And because they are late, they all end up in the same area of the auditorium; the very undesirable first two rows right in front of the screen where you can't see anything because it is too close.
How the hell did this blog go from watching a PGA tournament to segregation in movie theaters?
I'm losing it.

Friday's Distractions
Every two weeks I'm off from work and I celebrate a day I call 'My Friday'. This is the day I am free to unwind, relax, play, be lazy, have fun, etcetera, etcetera. I pretty much follow the same routine every 'My Friday'. Wake up early and go to the driving range to hit a few balls, do any shopping I need to do, pick up the Lil Diva from day Care, catch up on recorded TV shows, and when Mama Diva comes home I go out and play some poker. Very relaxing and therapeutic. Last week was no different, but with a few twists (Distractions). It started at the driving range.
I hit balls at Leonard Golf Links in Fort Worth. It's a very large range with over 60 tee Stations. I got there early on Friday and set up at the far left side just because there is this tree I like to aim at. I was there by myself till I was nearly done with my small basket. One older gentlemen shows up (another brotha) and sets up to my left. This bothered me a little. I was set up at around tee station number 5. There are over 55 stations to my right and 4 to my left, yet this guy wants to line up behind me (left) at station number 2 or 3. Why did he do this? I could only think of 3 reasons?
1) He thinks blacks have to hit balls from the far left side of the range. He was an older guy and maybe he thought we were still in the 60's. Just kidding.
2) He's likes setting up on the left of other men so he can check out their butts. For you non-golfers, by being on my left he is really behind me (assuming we're both right handed). Maybe that's his way of getting his peek on. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
3) He's uncomfortable with his swing so he would rather not have anyone play behind him watching him. The last reason of course makes the most sense. I used to do that. But then the guy starts hitting balls and is hitting the ball great, while I'm chunking shots wondering if the guy behind me is checking out my ass. Next week I'll hit from the far right side.
Speaking of rear ends. That night playing poker, I was in another strange situation. There was a young couple sitting at a table next to mine. The boyfriend was playing while the girlfriend was watching. The Girlfriend had her chair turned around backwards and was leaning her chin on the back support. She was wearing a short shirt and loose jean shorts, and in the position she was in I could see her coin slot. Coin Slot is another (and more gentle) way to say butt crack. All night I was looking at that butt crack. Not on purpose though!! When I had to look at the cards on my table the Coin Slot was just within my peripheral vision. I thought I about telling her, but You never know how someone is going to react. I didn't want the end up kicking her boyfriends ass over that. Things became even more weird when I was moved to their table! I could not look at the couple! I felt guilty or something. (I honestly was not checking the girl out on purpose!) On top of that, the boyfriend knocks me out of the poker tournament.
On the way home, I thought I should call my girlfriend to see if she wants me to bring her something to eat. (Was I still feeling guilty?) That is when the fight started. Not with my girlfriend. Not with the guy whose girlfriend I was checking out (unintentionally). I got into a verbal argument with my Blackberry's Voice Dialing. I have my girlfriends name in my Contacts twice; as Cristina and as AACristina. I added her in as AACristina for ease in texting because it puts her at the top of my contacts lists. Anyway, so I try to call my girlfriend:
Attempt #1
Voice Dialing: "Say a Command"
Me: "Call Cristina"
Voice Dialing: "Call Tinesha?" (her sister)
Me: "No"
Voice Dialing: "Call Kanika?" (her friend)
Me: "No"
Voice Dialing: "Call Stacy Mapel?" (My golf Instructor - sounds nothing like Cristina!)
Me: "NO!"
Voice Dialing: "Sorry. No Match found"
Attempt #2 (I try AaCristina - Pronounced aaah Cristina)
Voice Dialing: "Say a Command"
Me: "Call Aaah Cristina"
Voice Dialing: "Call AaCristina?"
Me: "Yes!"
Voice Dialing: "Call Cristina?"
Me: "I said YES!"
Voice Dialing: "Sorry No Match found"
I gave up on the voice dialing, pulled my phone off my belt and called manually. My Girlfriend doesn't pick up because she's asleep. Aaarrggh!!
P.S. Although my girlfriend is Asian, she does not suffer from ABS (Asian Butt Syndrome). She has a very nice Coin Slot.

Fore!!
I can tell by my girlfriends' face after she reads my blogs that she is wondering why I don't talk about her more. In order to avoid sleeping on the couch, I will do that in this blog. But first...I have some other things to get to.
Minutes after posting my last blog, I received my new golf bag. (Amazon pulled through!) I didn't need a new bag, but there is a reason for the purchase. A few months ago I was at a sporting goods store in the golf section looking at some iron sets. The Calloways and Adams sets were cool, but I fell in love with the Mizunos. I don't remember the model. I only remember that when I picked them up, they felt right. I decided then, my next set of clubs will be Mizunos. I don't, however, feel like I'm good enough yet to own them. So, I set a goal for myself. Once I am able to hit under 100, I will get myself a new set of Mizuno irons. For motivation, I bought a Mizuno golf bag to remind me of the task. I'll get there this summer.
To help me accomplish this goal, I have a new Golf Instructor. I had an instructor early last year, but I didn't get much from him. He was trying to teach me his 'specialty' swing. I think he called it the 'tornado' or 'hurricane'.... Or maybe it was the 'tsunami'. I don't remember. All I do remember is that I was not progressing at all. (Was is called the 'twister"?) Anyways, late last year I switched to Stacy Mapel a certified PGA Instructor. After only one lesson with Stacy I was swinging better than the 3 hours of lessons with the previous guy. Stacy is great! He tapes my swings at the end of the lesson with a high speed camera so I can watch it at home later and compare it to my previous lessons or pro golfer's swings. When I go a long stretch without a lesson, I can catch up pretty quick just by watching the last lesson video and listening to the commentary. Anyway, if you live in Dallas/Fort Worth area I highly recommend contacting Stacy for lessons at stacymapel.com. You won't regret it. I have no doubts he will help me start hitting in the 90's.
If my road to hitting under 100 is too boooring for you, follow pro golfer John Raser on his journey to the PGA Tour. John is fun to follow on twitter (@johnraser) and he has an interesting website and blog (gospeedraser.com). Holla! If anything, read his February 19th blog and see if you can contribute in any way.
Alright, That was too much golf for one blog. There was something else I was supposed to talk about. My diet! My diet is temporarily on hold because my mom is in town. I can't say no to real German cooking right? I've consumed more carbs and sugar in the past 3 days than I did all of February. I'll have to start making up for that starting this Sunday. My weight goal is in sight.
There was one other thing I was supposed to talk about. Oh well, guess I'll get to it next time.
Later.
P.S. Sleeping on the couch isn't that bad. :-(

Where is my Amazon.com order??
Where is my Amazon.com order?? This is what I've been asking myself the past 4 days so this morning I check the tracking status. It shows delivered Wednesday Feb. 10 (3 days ago) at doorstep by Velocity Express. What the? The Tracking detail also said they made delivery attempts on Monday at 8:00 pm and Tuesday at 930pm. Hmmm. Let me check my calendar aka the TV guide. Well, Monday I was home watching 24 (amazing episode!) and Tuesday I was home watching American Idol (Ellen is not funny). Amazon says, "Check with your Neighbors". My response, "I was home! They delivered to the wrong address! Resend!". I said that much nicer of course. Now I have to wait for them to resend the book "The Alchemist" and dvd "Summer Heights High" . The new golf bag I ordered through Amazon better get here!
I really could have used the "Summer Heights High" dvd yesterday, because the snow storm that hit North Texas knocked out my cable for the whole day. I realized then that I have a serious addiction to Television. Yes, I love reading, but when you're watching a 7 month old it's hard to focus on that. I was having severe withdrawals all day yesterday, including shaking, excessive sweating and lack of appetite. It was weird. I think I know what a drug addict feels like now. I was on twitter via my cell following John Daly all day waiting for updates on the Pro-Am event. That's pretty sad. Cable is back now so I'm good, but I think I need to make some sacrifices.
Let's see.... Sunday- Family Guy and The Cleveland Show. I need those. Monday- 24 and Heroes. No. No cuts there. Tuesday - American Idol and Chopped. Last season I'm watching Idol, but I'll keep it on the list this year. Wednesday - Human Target. Great new show. Thursday. The Office, CSI, Tosh.O. Nothing to sacrifice there. Friday - Spartacus. Another great new show on the Starz network. Saturday - SNL......That's it! I'll sacrifice Saturday Night Live. It's been horrible this whole season. They need new writers bad. That wasn't too bad. Got rid of one show :o) Baby steps people. Baby steps.
Quick weight update. On January 1, 2010, I weighed 191 pounds. I'm happy to say that as of this morning, I'm down to 186. Lowest I've been in a very long time. I started a diet recommended by my facebook friend and professional poker player/celeb Hannah Elizabeth. In a nutshell, I eat a little less carbs and dramatically less sugar. I'm almost at my goal for the year!! Many thanks to Hannah the Queen of Hearts. Check out her Poker blog. It's hilarious! http://hannahqueenofhearts.com/
I'm out. Time to watch the ProAm..... and Americas Best Dance Crew..... and the Olympics....and Danica Patrick race in the Nascar Nationwide Series. Baby Steps People. Baby Steps.

New Year, 1st Blog, Old Resolutions
I've always wanted to start a blog, but never had the time to write one. Not to mention I'm a horrible writer. What better time than now though, because the girlfriend is at work, the baby is asleep and it's the first day of 2010!
2009 went by fast! When filling out dates on paperwork at my job, sometimes I still write 2008. 2009 wasn't too bad of a year for me. I didn't get laid off, didn't catch H1N1 (knock on wood), didn't foreclose on my home. I wasn't too excited about who was elected President, but that's a blog for another day. My biggest failure for 2009 was that I failed to accomplish most of my New Years Resolutions.
My first New Years Resolution for 2009 was to Lose Weight and Get in Shape. Around this time I believe I weighed around 194 pounds. My goal was to get between 180 and 185. This Morning I weighed 191. Mission failed! I know I can accomplish this goal. It's not something out of reach or unattainable. I just need to workout and ease up on the food. I have a 24 hour fitness membership ($99 a year) that I never use. Never! As far as the food, I admit I have an addiction. It doesn't help that I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. There are so many very good restaurants in this area. The DFW area definitely does not get enough credit for it's restaurant offerings. I'm rolling over this resolution for 2010. Get In Shape and get my weight down under 185.
Next for 2009, I wanted to improve my poker game. My goal was to just get in more playing time to improve my overall game. Poker is just a hobby to me, but it's a hobby I really enjoy. I played less poker in 2009 than I have in the past 3 years. What happened? A little thing called having a baby happened. With a new baby of course I had to make some sacrifices and poker was one of them. Towards the end of 2009 I started to get back on the felt a little and I plan on increasing that a bit in 2010. I'm not officially going to include Improving my poker game as a 2010 Resolution, but I will always thrive to improve.
This is a big one and the only one I was successful at accomplishing. Become debt free (except for mortgage)! A couple of years ago I read Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover. It changed my way of thinking. I followed his program and as of December 2009 I have no debt outside of my mortgage. The last debt I paid off was my student loan. It felt great! I don't ever plan on getting in a situation again where I have credit card or any debt other than the mortgage.
The final New Years Resolution for 2009 was to improve my Japanese. This one hurts, because it doesn't just affect me. I have a daughter who lives with her Mother in Japan. She can't speak English anymore and I speak very little Japanese. I visit her every year in Japan and we occasionally speak on the phone. When I visit we do fine because we find a way to communicate. But for the other 51 weeks a year when we are just talking on the phone it's tough. I don't understand most of what she is saying and She doesn't understand most of what I'm saying. In 2008 I tried to take some Japanese lessons at the Fort Worth Japanese Society, but all we did was read through a book. I can do that on my own. I need to practice speaking. In 2009, I didn't do much studying at all. It's tough to learn a language on your on, but I'm going to trying harder in 2010. I really need to find a Japanese person (preferably a male so my girlfriend doesn't trip) that I can meet up with and practice speaking. We'll see. This is definitely a Resolution added to the 2010 list.
So here are my New Year's Resolutions for 2010:
1. Improve speaking in Japanese
2. Get in Shape, Get under 185 pounds (I always lump these two into one)
3. Improve Golf game (My addiction for Golf is stronger than my addiction for food)
4. Keep Blog going (At least two blogs a month)

P.S. I'm not a very good writer. If you notice errors in any of my blogs, just let it be. I will not be proof reading them. I will quickly type them up, run a spell check and publish.
