I do. I DO. But wow. For me personally (and maybe it's a life-stage thing), I suddenly realized this week that I just. don't. care. I don't! I don't care about a bunch of kids -- talented, nice for the most part, etc etc -- that play a game with a rubber disc, earn a $&!# ton of money and ... right, that's it. Hockey, football, soccer, baseball, whatEVER, it means nothing and provides even less. Go out, love the one you're with (or pine for the one you're not), read something weird. DO something weirder. ANYTHING, but devote so much of your free time to watching someone ELSE realize their dreams that YOU forget to do the same. I've had a negroni. But man, screw this weird abdication of investment in life by projecting my goals into some kid's ice dreams. Jebus. Yeah. I hear you. I do most of my posting while at work (don’t tell anyone that I work with), and once I get home, I’d rather spend time with my family, play and record music, exercise, walk my dogs, cook, and sleep. If a game is on, I’ll check in, although I don’t have cable, and still follow the team’s progress. My emotional investment in the team is compartmentalized and doesn’t bleed in to any other aspects of my life. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dumped a lot of that stuff about 25 yrs back..when I was working a couple jobs, saving for Japan. Sometimes it's frustrating to feel out of the cultural loop, but I'd never go back to the daily habits of young 20's. Hollyweird is really disappointing. Their product is mostly crap. Burn Hollywood.

How did I trash it? Perspective is everything. Point is there's more to life than hockey, especially when an NHL season is such an investment. Not contradiction here.

48MPHSlapShot Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 If it's that difficult for you to make the separation between sports and the rest of you life, maybe your priorities are what need reassessing. Most of us can make the separation just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
