I wonder how weird it is that I am in complete utter love with a sports team. I look forward to the weekend just to watch them, I spend endless hours on youtube watching videos about them. I guess everyone needs their addictions. Some people have drugs/alcohol, some have cigarettes, some video games etc etc, I have Tottenham Hotspur. It really is hard to explain, because until a couple years ago, I hated watching the games, they were boring, then the planets aligned and bing-buda-boom. I become obsessed. Probably a real turnoff eh? I suppose some people think its cute, but they soon find out how crazy I am. I think I'd fit right in if I was thrown back into London. (Probably get my ass kicked though). I wrote this, cause I am really excited, like night before Christmas excited for the game this weekend, even though its not a derby/against one of Tottenhams' many rivals, but just because its the best part of my week, for that 90 or so minutes, im in paradise, funny how that's what keeps me going.
My History professor keeps saying, you gotta do something that 'turns you on' ( this is an 80 year old guy by the way), I never really understood/took him seriously, but in a way, I guess Tottenham Hotspur turns me on.
So, who thinks I'm weird? Oh everyone in the USA, A because they think the sport is for pansies and B because even I think its weird, but guess what.... I don't care what you think, cause I am in love and that my friends is more important then caring what you think.
So I bid you farewell and goodnight, and just because I can,
"We love you tottenham, we do, We love you tottenham, we do, we love you tottenham we do, ohh tottenham we love you."
85% of people will miss pronounce Tottenham.
P.S. Its thanksgiving, I feel it important to personally be thankful for - Tottenham, tea, chocolate, my friends, my fantastic family, my ability to call and explain what thanksgiving is to some Europeans and for my happiness. its cliche, but its the holidays, we're supposed to all be cliche when it comes to holidays.

Football is amazing. You pick a team, you become hooked. No matter what you're going through, how bad/good the previous days have been, for that 90minutes, nothing else matters.
ReplyDeleteThat is why Football creates that indescribable feeling, and that is why people who don't follow the sport will never understand how magical it is.
Aww, nice Thanksgiving Message :) Ok, not ALL of us think football is for pansies ;)
