To kick a round, size 5, ball...

I don't really understand the allure of physical sports. Well, I can see how it might be fun and advantageous to actually play (in some cases). I just don't understand the fanatics.

And I think it's supremely WRONG that people get paid disgusting amounts of money to kick/throw/hit a ball/puck around while they act like fucking retards, and in some cases, destroy their bodies for the sake of a game. Why don't we just have mindless to-the-death gladiator battles while we're at it?

All sports, in theory, are all great for expressing and developing ones self. But the popular mind sets behind it... I don't know. All I see is just low-brow brutality. Just how many mindless animal-like riots have broken out over a fucking soccer game? It's sickening to the soul, quite frankly. But I suppose the same arguments could be made on pretty much anything. Like what the internet, video games, and tv supposedly does to people.

Maybe I'm just mad for personal reasons.

My father, who has always been a big sports guy, played (American) football in the Air Force, and broke his neck because of it. Because he put so much of himself into it. And for what? For 30 years of mind numbing pain? For totally fucking up his personal life and family life? For causing so many problems that I just don't want to explain right now?

Fuck it. Alright? Fuck it!

Clearly I'm out of my element on this discussion. I just felt the need to vent. My father is FINALLY having neck surgery this Tuesday. I'm very worried, even though that this surgery is fairly common place in this day and age.

I've made it a point not to foolishly destroy my body over a caveman game. Alas, I'm destroying my body by other means. So is life. Lord Christ the Son of God, and the Father the All-Encompassing Creator, have mercy on us all. 

Feel free to completely ignore my post. I'd prefer that. This is merely a way for me to vent. But it's always fun to have some SOCIALLY AWKWARD weirdo post randomly serious stuff, no?

PPK:
Why do you say that you are socially awkward? I don't think that; in fact, there is no problem with your opinion. I completely understand it and do agree with some points (for example, the amount of money they earn; it should be lowered or instead they should play like it was going out of fashion, every game in order to justify their salaries).

I also wish the best of luck for your father's surgery.

I say that I'm socially awkward, because, well... I don't know. Back in the day, people always thought I was cool/intelligent/intersting, and that I had a successful future ahead of me. Still, I always had severe problems.

 I feel as though everyone is out to harm me. Everything is judging me, even the air I breathe. I'm always lost in my own world. All these thoughts of what is "good", and what is "bad". What place do I hold in this reality? What is reality? What should I do? What comes next? My mind is an ever-furiously-vibrating fuck of an expirience. It's come to the point where I haven't left my apartment in two years, except for a handful of occasions. These occasions total in the lower double-digits. I can't even hold a simple tedious job. Panic.

Yes, I'm sure many people have gone through this and are currently going through this sort of thing. But that offers little comfort. It's hard to relate exactly what is happening in one's own mind. Language simply fails at conveying this sort of thing. It does for me, anyway. But in true reality it may be a simple thing to overcome. I don't know. I need help. I'm currently seeking it. I'm not going to kill myself. If I do, it would be because I slowly starved myself to death while I hoped and prayed for all the best for humanity. And the result of all this is that I lock myself away in these three rooms... talking to myself, playing video games.... trying to grin and bear it. And if my father were to die at this point... I just don't know what I would do. I need him. But the Lord wills what He wills.

I'm 20 years old. Why is this happening to me? I feel as though I'm 80 and at the end of my rope.

*insert indescribable pseudo-intellectual retard babble here*

THAT'S why I say I'm socially awkward. Because everytime I set foot in front of people it becomes some sort of surreal and terrifiying event. And those same people always think otherwise.

Anyway, I don't mean to derail the thread.

Dude, both of those sports are cool.

 Ok, hockey is hella fun. Still, soccer is fun to watch.

Wake[of]theBunT:
I guarantee I rape all at golf. Unless somehow a community of gamers holds with it TWO amazing golfers. Ten years ago I was told i should try become a pro. I really didnt think it was for me ; and I dont regret that.

Golf = awesome to play and watch
Tennis = awesome to watch, tiring to play LOL
Aussie rules = wins over all of the foot sports
Cricket = funner to play for most people. I like to watch actually.
soccer = not bad. Better watching hilights of champion league matches and the world cup is a MUST even if you dont like soccer overly. Its just epic during that 2 weeks every 4 years
