Sports... Who'da Thunk?

Whoa slow down there killer. What are you trying to say here? After all, you didn't make it secret that you were playing on an intramural soccer team. I mean it's not like you're sitting here trying to tell everyone that you might actually like sports or something. Haha. That would be silly. Haha... Right? Ha.William? You're making me nervous here... Just... Don't tell me you've succumbed to the competitive nature that entails sports, or that you enjoy watching them, because think of all the video games that could be filling your time... Better yet you could be productive instead of caring about sports. Just... William? Willie..? Will? Bi-

And stop right there. I'm cool with variants of William, but Bill is something I'll never be able to accept. Darn! And I just made that post a few weeks ago about me being more accepting. Looks like I'm moving backward in life. Haha.

But yeah, sports. What's that all about, right? Well, I may have recently discovered that I do in fact enjoy sports, JUST LET ME TALK AND STOP FREAKING OUT ON ME OK?

I don't think I ever disliked sports, I mean, I've always known the rules, and I can watch pretty much any sport and know exactly what is going on. I've always know what "good" looks like, and am fully capable of recognizing "great" in a game. There are a few sports that I know nothing about, and I've recently learned that Hockey is one of them, although I know the goals, and can recognize epic things. Haha.

Knowing basics of sports is not means to actually like a sport though, which leads me to my next point. I really enjoy sporting events. I never really enjoyed football, and I still think I don't, but I enjoyed the ability to interact with other people through being near people who are watching some guys throw the ol' pigskin around. For example, this last SuperBowl. I didn't really care much for it, but I enjoyed being with the Emily, Sara, Enrique, and crew to watch it and enjoy Enrique's queso and just chill. That was fun. I think Baltimore won... The Ravens? Right? Haha. =D

I realized in the past few weeks that I really miss going to baseball games. The more I think about it, the more I just loved the stadiums and the whole feeling of being in the crowd. I keep thinking back to the few Rangers games we went to, the one A&M baseball game I went to with Brian and Summer, and the one Round Rock Express game I went to with Cathy, Ann, Ricky, and Ernest. I had so much fun, especially the last two as I remember them best, just yelling with the crowd and joking and what not.

Basketball? Game 6! How crazy close it was!! Yeah, I watched those games. I knew my sister was cheering for the Spurs, but I was just enjoying watching it, not necessarily rooting for either team, but just kind of a bias toward the Spurs for my sister. I also, really enjoyed watching my sister play, or Wehrmeister and his team. I loved shouting them on as friends, and as players. I really like when I have a personality to cheer for and not just a face.

And then there's Soccer. I've been playing Soccer. I really enjoy Soccer. Like, that is the only sport I will actively play. I think that might be why I never was much into sports, because I never actually got a chance to truly play the sport that most intrigued me. I live in Houston for the Summer, and as such, I am making every attempt to attend all the Dynamo games that occur on the weekends and getting the most out of those experiences as possible.

All in all. I think I'm growing up, and the sports thing is minor, but still. Haha. Ok, it's small, and it's not really all the new, but it's cool. Especially because I had a nice conversation with my dad about sports and things the other day. Haha. =D


And now, I'm watching a filibuster. I don't do politics. What is going on? Haha.
