I realized something about myself, that I have a real knack for pushing other people's buttons. And I'm not sure I want to be like that. I really don't want to be someone who makes quick enemies and quickly lose friends. I don't know, this past week has just been an emotional roller coaster.
I was super excited to go to the Warriors draft party, and ok, we drafted a no-name player from the Italian league, but people were pissed. But me and mom were like, ok, whatever. We went home. But on tv, we found out that Jason Richardson, the heart and soul of our team, just got traded. After 6 years of sweat and blood into a losing franchise, only to have a taste of the postseason, he was shipped off to yet another rebuilding franchise. All the non sports fans out there reading this have absolutely no idea what this feels like, to have one of your favorite players and the face of the franchise leave and betrayed by Mullin who promised not to trade J-rich. No idea. People may say I'm insane for being so emotionally invested in this team, and this player, to be specific, but that's what a die-hard fan is. Bandwagoners have no idea Warrio Nation felt like they had a stake driven in their chest. I admit that I had the luxury of not going through those 13 years of desolution. No, I started following them since the 05-06 season. They were mediocre, but still a miserable franchise. I followed them when my parents started showing interest in the Dubs. But eventually our interest turned our family into this basketball-crazed family and we are all die-hards. Anyway, I just want to say that J-rich will forever remain a Warrior in the minds of Warrior faithful.
Other than that, I've got alot of personal drama going on. I think too much. I sometiems think so much that my thoughts betray me and let emotions get the best of me. You know how in Othello, with Iago chirping in his ear, he conjures up this scheme that Desdemona is cheating on him when she's not and he ends up getting so caught up in his own assumptions that he eventually murders her? I'm like that. minus the murder part. Q said, "so, in theory, you're a psycho." Maybe so.
Anyway, this is hilarious.
