I know by writing this post, I'm going to attract ridicule, anger, sarcasm and maybe other remarks from the rest. But I am going to write it anyway.
I want to explain my recent absence from games. I've been absent for a total of 3 games now, which in my opinion aren't a lot (most of us have missed the same amount of games in the past ayway), but because we are not playing very often now, it seems a lot. Out of the three, 2 were sunday games, one was a saturday game.
I'll explain the Saturday game first. I have floorball trainings on Saturdays. And I have mentioned it before that I won't be able to play on Saturdays because of training. And especially now is the IVP selections period, I can't miss training. So Saturday games, I definitely cannot make it. It's not only for botakgang matches. I skip everything on Saturdays for training. Family stuff, birthday celebrations, whatever. It's a commitment I made.
The sunday games. I've missed one of them because of Celest's party. I know that's a very personal reason. But I've promised her since eons ago that I will be there for her party. I just cannot absent myself at the last minute. It's not very right to do so I believe, especially since I told her very long ago I'll be there. And I did inform early that I definitely can't turn up. The other game was missed because of a soccer IVP game. Ok. That was a big mistake on my part. I will take anything you throw at me for that because I certainly do not value the soccer IVP team over botakgang. I'm sorry for that.
I've explained myself. I just want to say something here. I've ALWAYS turned up for matches when I could. I missed half of my hall match to rush down for a botaks game last time. I would take a cab to rush to the game and then another cab to rush to somewhere else if I have to, but I always turned up when I could. I don't think anyone can say that I didn't do that. I know I've missed some games recently, and I've not exactly produced stellar performances every single match I played. But I did try my best. Every game.
Therefore, I feel a little sad now. I feel like just because I've missed a few games recently, I've been branded a non commital idiot.
I've said my piece. You can throw any shit at me now.
