So...I've come to the brilliant realization that sports are make people incredibally bipolar. At the start of this school year, I had no hope for the Ducks after last season. Then they beat Michigan. And USC. And Arizona State. Then Boston lost. South Florida Lost. Ohio St. lost. And in the period of a few months, the ducks took over my life. My happiness lived weekend to weekend. The ducks kept winning and rising in the national rankings, and other teams fell, and we were number two, with three easy games left. Then it all came crashing down. Sports are bipolar. One injury. One loss. One player. And everyone is in shock. Dennis Dixon tore his ACL back in the Arizona St. game...he talked the coaches into letting him keep playing as long as he felt fine. Then in an easy game against UA, he was brilliant...Heisman contender all the way. But he fell, the ACL got re-injured, he left the game after 2 possesions, Brady Leaf sucked as his relacement, the D lost all hope to live. By sunday, we will be in the bottom half of the top 25 instead of #2, will be out of a good bowl game since we wont even be able to win out the rest of the season without him, and a trip to New Orleans is over. This schools unity and happiness were superficially imposed on the performance of Dennis Dixon. Why did our team and our school fall apart without him..... Sports are bipolar. I think the entire campus got wasted by halftime....it didnt help. Sports are bipolar. They are a more superficial form of happiness than drugs or alcohol. Dont get attached....they will break your heart faster than any girl ever could.
In other news, its friday night. There were a good five or six parties, a play, a dance recital, and a concert I was into going to. However, its pouring, I'm a bit sick, and its cold. So...I spent the evening hanging christmas lights, drinking coco, and watching that Tim Allen christmas movie with a bunch of guys. Its ridiculous how far I've come since highschool. To think I had one good guy friend (who was gay) and now have more guy friends than girlfriends, who are all more than comfortable putting other things aside to do silly bonding crap like hanging christmas lights in November. I really shouldnt complain about life too much. I should really write in livejournal more....I just havn't had/felt sharing any teenage angst, and the normal details of my life are rarely internet worthy....Merry (early) Christmas!!!!!!!
