Sporty Depression
Arsenal lost to Stoke. Texas lost to Tech. Something like that can be so annoyingly depressing. Those loses essentially mean that I cannot visit any sports websites, besides maybe, cricinfo. But still, it’s so so depressing.
It’s kinda fascinating how something as pointless as a soccer game or football game can affect your life so much. Currently the entire of UT is drowned in this droop, this painful low, that could have easily gone the other way. If we had maybe made that interception with a minute to go, the general mood of the entire University of Texas right now would be quite different.
Recently, like the whole wide world, life’s been a little crazy to say the least. Constructive, no doubt, but tiring too. It leaves you desiring timeless time, when you can just lie down and enjoy the nothingness of life. Someday.
I’m saying all this now, but I know I would be complaining even if I had nothing to do. It all comes back the the brilliant balance of life. Too bad it’s always imbalanced.
P.S. Que tal?
life’s imbalance. i totally agree with this. well aapki thodi baatein dimag ko tangent ho kar jaati hai. aur kuch to touch bhi nahi karti! msybe its coz i m just a 15 yr old teenager from india
University of Toronto had a 0-49 football record going into this year… Last month, we finally won a match for the first time after 4 years or something like that… The day we won that match, the whole University was alive…
Indeed, sports is able to touch an inner emotion that is very rarely displayed otherwise…
if life was balanced it would just be boring :P… too much of a good thing is just more awesome 😀
Everytime Man U [Don’t grimace =P] or Federer lose a match. My day is pretty much ruined, and most of the time so is the rest of my week. =\
Sport plays an amazingly integral part in most people’s lives. I suppose it’s because it gives everyone a sort of belonging to something which involves the healthiest form of rivalry between people ever. It satisfies that innate longing to compete which all of us seem to have. Sports allow us to battle without weaponry. Even if you don’t play the game, you play a part somehow. Just by supporting. And you feel a sense of belonging and part of something huge.
People can actually put their differences aside. Nerd. Jock. Girl. Boy. Black. White. Brown. Republican. Democrat. All one, if even for a night.
And it feels oh so good. =)
Totally relate.
