[Open] A Head's Up
Hey guys, thought I should clear some things up as your captain. Things that could really use some clarification apparently since they continue to be brought up or questioned or generally misunderstood. This won't cover everything, but these were topics that stood out most to me. We can always discuss things further another time anyway.
Ahem.
First off, let's start with my hair, or well... lack there of at the moment. I. Am. Not. Bald. I simply choose to shave my head. Hair tends to be another thing to take care of in this world, and I don't need more responsibilities at this time. And no, I will not grow it out for any reason. Not unless I chose to do so. Can't see it happening anytime soon though. (Sorry if that disappoints someone?)
There, I said it.
Second off, being team captain does not make me the maid. Guys, have you ever heard of picking up after yourselves? I'm not just talking about leaving your trash, this includes clothes too. I was planning out our next practice game the other night with Momoe and when I came out there was at least three pairs of underwear lying around. I have a good feeling who one of them belonged to, but pointing fingers aside, guys... that's disgusting. I'm tired from a long day too, and picking up my friends' tidy-whities is not my idea of winding down. Don't think I'll keep doing it either or I may have to return the favor in some way. Don't forget, I know where you guys live.
Third off, I volunteer to those who have difficulty in the learning department and I'm happy to help. But that doesn't mean you can come by my house and throw rocks at my window during all hours of the night. thatmeansyouTajima My parents aren't thrilled about it and my sisters freak out whenever they hear it. You're lucky I cover for you and claim there's squirrels smacking into my window. So next time you realize at 3 AM that you need help with something, please at least call me or wait until a reasonable hour to seek my help in a reasonable way.
Fourth off, don't blame me for not getting all of your requests through to Momoe. We all know that the coach can be a tad hard-headed and not everything will sit well with her. Especially requests that even I find to be completely ridiculous. So yes, I do discard some ideas before her say-so. But honestly, who the hell thought attire-optional practices would strike her fancy? (I'll pretend I don't know since this person chose to remain anonymous in their last 6 letters to me.) Next time you have an idea, please think of the following: Is this something that I think Captain Hanai would be willing to ask Momoe? Is this something that would not result in said-Captain's demise if brought up? Is this something that would really benefit our team? That in mind, I'm sure you guys will do just fine.
Well, I was going to have a "fifth off" but I don't think I should bring that topic up anymore. Some things are better left unsaid...
Anyway, take all of what I've discussed here into thought, and if you still have an issue with something (even if its not an issue dealt with here), let me know.
