Sis: Syracuse lost today.
me: so what?
sis: it'd just be nice if something nice happened today.
me: Well, I'm sure a lot of nice things did happen today. I had a nice day!
sis: oh yeah, someone got shot and is in critical...
me: and since when does our local news cover anything NICE happening? Or any such effort event that has anything to do with the betterment of society? It's stupid. It's empty. Win, Lose, my life is no different either way!
I am the only person in my family that could give a squat about sports. Any kind. Win, lose, tie, I don't care. It doesn't break my spirit. It doesn't leave me hopeless. Sometimes I might go to a game if offered tickets. I know what's going on and I cheer but it's so fucking unimportant to me that it disgusts me when people tell me that their day is ruined because someone dropped a ball and expect me to give a crap about it. If I have had any motto or driving desire in any sport its to do my best, challenge myself, and have fun. I invest myself in our society, not our sports. Sorry!
