WHOS YOUR TEAM?

SO JUST A QUICK POST SINCE ITS LATE AND IM TIRED... AS USUAL LOL. ANYWAYS SO IVE GONE TO TWO HOCKEY GAMES THE PAST TWO WEEKS AND BOTH HAS BEEN A WIN. THIS IS QUITE RARE FOR MY TEAM, ESPECIALLY LATELY. WE HAVENT REALLY DONE GOOD THE PAST FEW YEARS, SINCE OUR CUP RUN WHERE WE MADE FINALS... AND BLEW IT. YES YES YOU CAN GUESS WHICH TEAM THAT IS LOL. ANYWAYS THE THING THAT I ALWAYS FOUND INTERESTING IS THAT THERE CAN BE HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS, TENS OF THOUSANDS, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, AND EVEN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO WATCH A CERTAIN TEAM PLAY A CERTAIN SPORT. IT DOESNT MATTER IF ITS HOCKEY, SOCCER, FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, PING PONG, SWIMMING, OR WHATEVER THE DOZENS AND DOZENS OF SPORTS IT COULD BE, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE FANS. THERE IS THE NEW FAN, CASUAL FAN, BIG FAN, CRAZY FAN, AND DIE HARD FANS. THE THING WITH THIS IS THAT ALL THOSE FANS ARE JUST FANS... THEY DONT HAVE A REAL STAKE IN THE WHOLE THING. THE PLAYERS ARE THE ONES ON THE FIELD OR RINK OR COURT OR WHATEVER, PLAYING TO WIN AND PLAYING TO BE A CHAMPION. IF YOU PLAY SPORTS YOU WILL GET WHAT I MEAN. THOSE WHO PLAY THE SPORT WANT TO WIN, AND THOSE THAT WIN, YOU FEEL THE ACCOMPLISHMENT AND HAVE THE TITLE. IF YOU ARE A FAN, WHAT DO YOU GET? THE $15 HOT DOG AND $10 POPCORN AND $5 DRINK... THATS WHAT YOU GET. YOU MIGHT FEEL HAPPY FOR YOUR TEAM BUT YOU REALLY DONT GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT. EVERYTHING YOU PAY AND BUY IS ALL GOING TO THE PLAYERS. THEY ARE THE ONES MAKING MILLIONS OFF YOU WATCHING AND BUYING THEIR JERSEYS AND GEAR. GRANTED SOMETIMES THE FANS DO GET TO DICTATE WHAT GOES ON WITH YOUR TEAM, BUT MOST OF THE TIME YOU DONT. I DO SEE THE APPEAL OF GOING TO GAMES AND ENJOYING YOURSELF, EATING, CHATTING, WATCHING THE GAME. MAYBE YOU WANT TO GO TO SEE A GOOD PLAYER. EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO, BENEFITS THE TEAM, AND NOT  YOU. WHEN YOUR TEAM WINS, DO YOU REALLY WIN? DO YOU GET ANYTHING? YOU JUST GET TO SAY THAT YOU WERE THERE, YOU WERE A PART OF IT, BUT ARE YOU REALLY? DOES THE STAR PLAYER KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND COMES OVER TO SAY HI OR HANG OUT? NO. ALL THE PLAYERS KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME, AND I MEAN THE POLITICAL GAME. YOU SAKE SOME HANDS, TAKE A FEW PICTURES, AND SIGN SOME AUTOGRAPHS TO KEEP YOUR SALARY COMING IN. HEY DONT GET MY WRONG... IF I COULD BE A PRO ATHLETE AND MAKE MILLIONS BY PLAYING A SPORT I LOVE, I WOULD TOTALLY DO IT IN A HEARTBEAT. ITS JUST FUNNY TO ME. ALSO ALL THOSE DIE HARD FANS THAT KNOWS EVERY SINGLE STAT FOR EVERY SINGLE PLAYER FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS AND EVEN THEIR PERSONAL LIFE, WHATS IN THAT FOR YOU? DO YOU REALLY CARE THAT SOMEONE HAS A CERTAIN POINT % OR RBI OR YARDS OR ANYTHING? THIS JUST MAKES YOU THINK... WHAT AND WHO ARE YOU REALLY THERE FOR? WHY DO YOU LIKE THE TEAM THAT YOU DO? ITS INTERESTING WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE GOING CRAZY ABOUT THEIR TEAM. PSYCHOLOGICALLY SPEAKING FANS ARE JUST LOOKING FOR A SENSE OF BELONGINGNESS. THERE IS JUST A DIFFERENT CONNECTION WITH SOMEONE WHO IS ALSO A FAN OF THE SAME TEAM THAT YOU ARE. EVERYONE AND EVERY TEAM IS THE SAME. WHICH ALSO MEANS THAT EVERY FAN AND EVERY TEAM WILL WANT THEIR TEAM TO WIN AND THAT THEY ARE BETTER THAN THEM, WHEN IN FACT, EVERYONE IS EXACTLY THE SAME. COMPETITION HAS ALWAYS BEEN AROUND, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, AND WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND. THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT. WHO IS BETTER, WHOS GOT MORE, WHOS WHO. ITS JUST KEEPS GOING ON AND ON AND ON. ITS NEVER GOING TO STOP SO JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU COME OUT THE WINNER.

ITS A WEIRD WEEK SINCE CHRISTMAS WAS A WEEKEND. I ENDED UP GETTING MONDAY AND TUESDAY OFF, THAT WAS NICE. DIDNT REALLY DO MUCH, JUST HUNG OUT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. SECRET SANTA WITH MY FRIENDS WAS COOL, I GOT A SSJ2 GOKU FIGURE FROM MY SECRET SANTA. I ALSO GOT A DRONE AND A PAIR OF REALLY NICE SHOES FROM THE GF :) I GOT HER A BUNCH OF STUFF SHE WANTED. THERE WAS JACKET, SOME SOCKS, A MAKE UP THING, A TSUM TSUM, AND SOME LED LIGHTS THAT SHE WANTED A WHILE BACK. ALSO GOT SOME CLOTHES AND MENS STUFF LIKE WASH AND COLOGNE. ALL IN ALL IT WAS A NICE CHRISTMAS.

WELL THAT ALL FOR THIS YEAR. I KNOW I USUALLY WRITE A YEAR END POST THAT SUMMERIZES HOW THE YEAR WENT BUT IM LAZY RIGHT NOW AND I CANT WAIT TIL 2016 IS OVER. IL WRITE THAT POST IN THE NEW YEAR WHEN IM LOOKING BACK. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WISH YOU ALL A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY AND SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR :)

LIVE SHOWS

SO I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT ALL THE SHOWS I HAVE GONE TO RECENTLY OR HEARD ABOUT. IM TALKING ABOUT CONCERTS, EVENTS, AND LIVE SPORTS. I DONT GO TO MANY CONCERTS BUT I HAVE BEEN TO A BUNCH FOR THE PEOPLE I LIKE A LOT, BUT I HAVE GONE TO MANY MANY MANYYYYYYYYY EVENTS, WHEN I SAY EVENTS I MEAN DJ SHOWS HAHA, AND TO QUTIE A FEW LIVE SPORTS. FOR BOTH CONCERTS AND EVENTS YOU ALREADY KNOW THEIR SONGS, YOUVE HEARD IT BEFORE THERES NOT MUCH NEW ABOUT IT. FOR BOTH CONCERTS AND SPORTS A LOT OF TIME YOU CAN WATCH IT ON TV OR ONLINE. SO FOR MOST OF THEM YOU HAVE EITHER HEARD IT BEFORE OR YOU CAN WATCH IT ELSEWHERE. THEN WHY IS IT THAT EVERYONE MAKES SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT GOING TO SEE IT LIVE...??? THE MAIN REASON IS THE ATMOSPHERE!!! WATCHING SOMETHING LIVE WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM JUST WATCHING OR LISTENING TO IT BY YOURSELF AT HOME. THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU AND THE ENERGY IN THE VENUE JUST BRINGS THE EMOTIONS AND ENERGY UP. BEING SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME INTERESTS JUST MAKES FOR A BETTER TIME. THERES BEEN TIMES WHERE IM WATCHING A HOCKEY GAME OR BASKETBALL GAME OR SOCCER GAME AT HOME BY MYSELF AND WHEN THEY SCORE ITS JUST LIKE OK GOOD FOR THEM, BUT WHEN IM AT THE GAME ITS LIKE THE WHOLE PLACE JUST ERUPTS AND SCREAMS LIKE THERES NO TOMORROW. SAME THING FOR A PENALTY... AT HOME I WOULD JUST BE LIKE MEH, BUT AT A GAME I WOULD YELL AND SWEAR. IT ALL JUST TIES IN TO THE PSYCHOLOGY OF GROUP BEHAVIOUR/HERD BEHAVIOUR AND HOW PEOPLE ALIKE ACT IN GROUP SETTINGS. A BIG PART OF GOING TO SHOWS THESE DAYS ARE MORE ABOUT SOCIAL STATUS THAN ACTUALLY GOING FOR THE SHOW ITSELF. PEOPLE POST ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA TELLING EVERYONE AND SHOWING EVERYONE WHERE YOU ARE, HOW CLOSE YOU ARE, EITHER YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO GO, OR WHO YOU KNOW. ITS ALL TOO TRUE THAT BEING ABLE TO GO TO SOMETHING THAT IS EXCLUSIVE OR SOLD OUT JUST MAKES THEM THINK IT ELEVATES THEM SOMEHOW. HONESTLY IVE DONE THE SAME THING BEFORE... IF YOU CHECK MY IG YOU CAN SEE A BUNCH OF THEM, BUT FOR ME I FEEL ITS MORE OF A JOURNAL OF MY LIFE... THEN AGAIN ITS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT OF TRYING TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT OR WHERE I AM OR HAVE GONE. IT REALLY IS HUMAN NATURE ALWAYS TRYING TO ONE UP EACH OTHER, TRYING TO PROVE THAT THEY ARE BETTER, OR IN OTHER WORDS SHOW OFF LOL. NOT MUCH YOU CAN REALLY DO ABOUT THAT SINCE WE LIVE IN THE DIGITAL AGE AND WHERE SOCIAL MEDIA IS SO PREVALENT EVERYWHERE IN KEEPING EVERYONE CONNECTED. SNAPCHAT IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THIS AND PERISCOPE IS LIVE BROADCASTING TO THE WORLD WHERE YOU ARE. IT CAN ONLY GET WORSE IS WHAT I THINK... SO... WITH EVERYTHING SAID IM GOING TO A PARTY THIS WEEKEND AND IL MOST LIKELY HAVE PICTURES AND SNAPS UP ABOUT IT... AHEAHEHAHA

IN OTHER NEWS... IM STILL BLOCKED FROM FACEBOOK... I REALLY DONT NOTICE IT ANYMORE... I DONT GET CONSTANT NOTIFICATION FROM THEM SO THATS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD. WORKS WORK, GOT A FEW DAYS OFF FOR CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR SO SHORT WEEK THIS WEEK AND NEXT. THATS GOOD SINCE ITS A MUCH NEEDED LITTLE BREAK. JUST BEEN GOING OVERDRIVE FOR THE PAST YEAR ALMOST AND NEED A LITTLE BIT OF A BREATHER. EVEN MY VACATION WAS BUSY... SO NOW I GET A CHANCE TO JUST HANG OUT AND CHILL A BIT WITH THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS. OH OH OH THE PAST MONDAY WAS THE ANNUAL COMPANY CHRISTMAS DINNER. IT WAS NICE AND EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME :) AS THE SOCIAL COORDINATOR I HAD 5 GAMES SET UP, TALKED A BIT, AND DELIVERED THE SECRET SANTA PRESENTS. IT WAS GREAT JUST RELAXING WITH EVERYONE AND STUFFING OUR FACES LOL.

WELL CHRISTMAS IS ON FRIDAY SO I WISH ALL MY READERS AND THEIR FAMILIES A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY :)
