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.
