I Bleed Blue and Gold.

“I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.” - Fritz Perls



From an explanation of the differences between football codes, my love for rugby was reawakened. And from the countless youtube videos that followed i was reminded. Reminded of that haunting September evening. The day the eels 2009 finals campaign came to a hault. Losing the grandfinals was just a gutwrenching way to end the year, leaving me to the precipice of tears... MANLY tears. And no matter how much the critics go on and on about how respectable their season was, to get THAT close to the permiership and not win is a disappointment.

2010 has commenced and on the 12th of March the '10 season begins. And so for as many matches as possible i will be right there, on the edge of my seat. Watching. Waiting. Hoping.

    there are no such thing as "MANLY" tears (unless its sweat from the eyeballs).
    just admit it.. football turns you into a girl.
    LOL!

    yeah well how about you SHUTUP? LOL
    there are situations where tears are MANLY;
    1) your team loses.
    2) get punched in the face, tear ducts act retarded
    3) someone dies.

    so take that.
