Excuse me for being not all that excited that Gonzaga (a university
|
|
in Spokane.) is doing well in basketball/NCAA or whatever the hell it is.
|
|
I'm not a big fan of watching sports, I see absolutely no point in watching
|
|
a sport on TV. Playing a sport is different, I have no qualms when it
|
|
comes to playing sports as I love billiards (which really isn't a very
|
|
invigorating sport when you think about it, but, a sport none the less.)
|
|
As I sit in the passenger side of my best friend Josh's car (I really need
|
|
to get a job and work on that license.) I notice all of these signs that
|
|
say "Go Zags".
|
|
|
|
Now, call me logical or really asinine but to me that just seems so
|
|
downright stupid. Why? Simple, they aren't here, they can't see the damn
|
|
signs and we're just going to throw them away after their either win or
|
|
lose, what a waste of good fucking paper I could use for school reports
|
|
and essays; I'm a environmentalist kind of person, in a non fanatical
|
|
way. ...Signs that say "Go Zags" it just astounds me, am I the only one in
|
|
this entire city not tickled pink by the prospect of them winning a
|
|
tournament?
|
|
|
|
I digress, when/if I do watch sports on television (my dad watches
|
|
them all the time so I'm forced to listen to them at the most {like right
|
|
now, he's watching the game while I type my incessant bitching on the
|
|
computer}, I find myself that if I am forced to listem to them long enough
|
|
or watch the last 15 minutes I actually start to get into them, and I don't
|
|
like that. It's a compromisation of my values, that value being, watching
|
|
sports is stupid. If I've only been listening to the game I find myself
|
|
asking questions regarding it such as "What's the score?" and "Who's
|
|
leading?" AUGH I hate it, I hates it forever (Subtle Tolkien reference.)
|
|
|
|
I'm not cheering for Gonzaga, though, and I never will. I was
|
|
listening to Joe Satriani 'Crystal Planet' Goddamnit, before my friggin'
|
|
dad came down and decided to turn off my life giving music and watch that
|
|
fucking game. I already feel musically deprived, I'll have to go to my
|
|
room or switch off the laptop and exchange the disk drive for the cd-rom.
|
|
(which I kind of don't want to do right now, but probably will end up
|
|
doing.) No, now that I think of it, I need to keep the disk drive in, I
|
|
need to make a powerpoint presentation on the cons of having prayer and
|
|
religion in school. I have so much fucking homework, a college consultant
|
|
making me sign a contract making me study 20 hours a week for the SAT's
|
|
(which brings up another point I would like to talk about.. Sat scores.
|
|
For some warped reason my college consultant thinks that your GPA
|
|
determines your grade average, let me just say that the assumption that a
|
|
3.0 student will be in the range of a 1100 score is pure bull fucking
|
|
shit. What about the students who have the intelligence, just not the
|
|
drive? {like me} Oh well I can complain about that later.) and the
|
|
pressure is building to go to a college on the west coast but I want to get
|
|
as far away from Washington as possible and go to the east coast. Even the
|
|
news has succumbed to the lame 'Gonzaga' fever that has gripped the city.
|
|
The point being of this whole thing being:
|
|
|
|
- Watching Sports is really stupid, in my opinion.
|
|
|
|
- Gonzaga sucks, they made my dad turn off my music, and I'm not
|
|
interested in going to my room.
|
|
|
|
- Joe Satriani is a damn good guitarist.
|
|
|
|
- I'm not concerned about Gonzaga, for all I care they can lose
|
|
this day.
|
|
|
|
- Making stupid sign's that say "Go Zags" to put on your windows is
|
|
a waste of paper.
