Interests

I get a new interest every other week. The problem is that barely any manage to stay. I get addicted quick and easy, and then drop 'em like hot stones in a couple of days. But I have finally found something I have managed to hang on to for a long time ( you realise that this is a relative term) after a long time. Its football. Weirdly enough, it started like medicine, and THEN I got the kick (excuse the pun). I suppose thats what made the difference, and now I am addicted. I had started supporting the adopted club when it was as its lowest, and I have improved with it from being a distanced spectator to a crazy, cheering, fanatic. I'm not sure thats a very good thing, the fanatic part, but what the heck- I'm having a blast. And I'm proud of myself.....and mostly because I can now appreciate other perspectives, and try them out myself, and somewhat because I no longer say 'Whats of interest in an event where 22 players kick the crap out of a peice of pigskin...or whatever synthetic fibre they use now'
Hmmm... there's more to sports than meets the eye. Who would have thought I'd wring moral philosophy out of it.
