Go Mavs, Go

I'm taking a play from Vernon's playbook: I love sports, I hate sports, I really hate sports, I really really love sports. That was my persona tonight as I watched game seven between the Mavericks and the Spurs. After we jumped out to the huge lead, I was elated and felt like we would win. Then the Spurs came back, took the lead with 30 seconds left, and my heart sank.

Of course, we tied the game and won it in overtime, thus making me love sports again.

The sad thing is how devoted I was to the game. And how I was so passionate about a thing that mattered so little. Of course, I don't plan to do away with the Mavs, but maybe draw back my enthusiasm..
