Lost Ones
So here is the whole thing with Michael, in a nutshell ...
I asked him if would be my partner in the tennis tournament in Austin in December. I haven't seen him since January 1st but he has called me a few time since then. I last spook with him about a week and a half ago, and asked if he was still going to be my partner .. he said yes. He then said that he wanted to get together sometime this past weekend and play tennis. This weekend came and went with no word from him.
I get a call from Michael yesterday evening while working from home. The conversation started off as normal. I asked if he sent in his application for the tournament and that's when he got all weird. He started talking about how he planned to stay with his sister in Austin for the tournament, but his sister is coming to Dallas to escape the onslaught of people attending South by Southwest Festival (SXSW). So since his sister is coming to Dallas, he has decided not to play in the tournament.
I initially didn't take the news too bad because this was typical Michael behavior. I told him that I was not surprised that he bailed, and at that point he got silent. I told him the could have told me this a week and a half ago instead of 17 days before the tournament. I had people interested in playing with me, but I turned them down because I was playing with him. More silence. He seemed to have forgotten the previous conversation. I told him that I was going to have dinner and I would talk to him later because he had no defense. I hung up, and I thought that was the end of that until I started to think more about this situations. Throughout our entire relationship he seemed to be a bit flakey but I he had some good qualities, but the more I thought about it the more angry I became.
I reached my breaking point when I remembered I told him almost 2 months about the SXSW Festival in an email to him and some other people regarding booking hotel rooms. When I remembered this detail, was done with him. I called his cell phone and left a voicemail outting his lie and let him know that this would be the last time he would hear from me. I doubt he would even call to apologize, because he's an asshole. But I wouldn't bother to answer my phone if he did. He is so phony. He openly hates white people (eventhough his parents are white) but his ideal boyfriend is white; he also claims to be so busy but when asked what he has been up to, his response is that he just watches TV all day. I just don't care about him anymore. I have already erased his number from my phone ... so it is that serious.
This sunday is the first day of OLTA, and I am not sure if he will show up. If he does I am unsure if I will ignore him as though he didn't exist or briefly acknowledge him. I am not a cold person, but we are no longer friends. So I treat him as such.
Tennis Stuff ...
I won my match tonight 6-1, 6-4. I haven't played in about 2 weeks because the weather has been so bad in Dallas. But I have two and half weeks to get my self ready for the tournament.
