The Look of Pure Disappointment (Laughing at myself)

So... well... just watch this:

Miscue on break from Johnny101 on Vimeo.

I just had to post this because it's just too damn ironically funny not to. I received the cue on Wednesday, but couldn't play that night due to my girl's birthday, so all day Thursday I was chomping at the bit to get to the pool hall. A few hours of playing, then that happened. I emailed Mike with the story and sent him the video. He replied asking that I call him. I thought I was in trouble. Hahaha I wasn't. He had such a good laugh from my video and my "deflating" when I realized what had happened, we both just started laughing. Everything is being taken care of, so really this is a no-harm, no-foul situation; which is why I posted it. Sometimes, you just gotta laugh at yourself. :)

I believe making the best of a tough situation is the mark of a true winner.  Johnny, you've got a great attitude dealing with this bad luck.  I'm so happy that you weren't offended by my wails of laughter.   Like I mentioned in the email, sometimes Schadenfreude can't be avoided.

Video viewers: the two parts that send me through the roof is when at around 1:22 he does the "Charlie Brown" move.  Priceless!   Then, I love how John optimistically checks the pockets for his tip.  He knows it was an exceedingly bad break, yet he hopes he pocketed something.  

You're the best Johnny!
