I bet you are all wondering. Why is football so important to me? And then you saw the title of my blog and thought "I bet he's going to tell me". Well I am. So here goes.
There was a time in my life, in 2009, which is mentioned in a previous blog entry. At this time in my life, I didn't feel like I had much going for me. I felt like my life was at a dead end. Then every Sunday (The LORD's day, not a coincidence) the Colts would play. And for 14 straight weeks. They won. Have you ever needed that? That something, no matter how petty it may seem eventually? Literally the only thing I felt I had going for me was getting to witness this great season that MY team was having. It was a ray of sunshine on an overall cloudy experience.
Well listen. To a lot of you this sounds dumb, but I do this with anything I am passionate about. When my friends hurt, I hurt. I get into movies. I am competitive. I believe these things simply make me human. But I just wanted everyone to know that I am not emotional about football due to immaturity, or at least I do not believe that. I am emotional about football because it was once all I had. When the Colts lose it's like.....a friend is hurting. I just want to make it better but I can't.
Anyway. Thanks for reading. God bless.
Nick
