watch pro football, pro baseball, college basketball, college football, college baseball. play baseball, football, basketball.
when i play, it's either with some people i work with or close friends
I was really into the MLB playoffs this year. After the Sox lost to those damn Yankees I stopped watching. Occasionally I'll watch a football game if the Pats are in the playoffs. Basketball, hockey, and nascar (LOL) bore me to death.
The only sport I really enjoy playing is paintball, if you consider that a sport. I can't afford to play much anymore, but I've been an avid player since 1996. I used to play soccer and baseball in my younger days. These days I'm out of shape and haven't done sports in years. I would like to start playing again one day.
yeah i know what you mean axe - about being out of shape but you want to start playing something again. i've been in the wanting to start playing ship for the past couple of years. it seems like a sweet idea, i would love to start playing again, but i guess the hurdle is actually going to sign up, and being in a team full of gimps that you don't know and have already established a sorta 'pecking order'. the best thing would be if a friend wanted to join too, or i could convince a friend to join, but unfortunately i only have one real friend at uni and he doesn't play soccer. if i were at uni the first time, i would have shitloads of mates to ask, but the second time around i just can't be fucked with the whole thing, i rock up to uni, go to my class, then leave, whereas last time i'd go to uni, chill, miss class, go to the uni-bar, drink, go out on the town practically everyday. it's weird. i guess if i didn't have a girlfriend i would spend a hell of a lot more time chillin at uni and hanging out with new dudes tho.
i guess the key is just to go for it, and fuck the ramifications! maybe you could get yourself back into shape by running 3 times a week and doing pressups + situps, or going to a gym. gyms suck tho, i can't stand all the fags there. best thing is if you know someone that has a decent home-gym. socially getting fit was wicked, that's what i did, and you get to fuck around and chill with no pressure. was truly rocking!
i keep saying that i want to join the uni soccer team, and maybe i actually will next year. another team that looks like fun at uni is the ultimate frisbee team. that game looks wicked fun and cruisy, i love throwing frisbees. it's a mixed sport, so there could be hot chicks, and the best bit is that every uni team goes to the australian university games, even ultimate frisbee! so basically if you play you get to go to somewhere around australia and chill for a week playing the occasional game of sport, for free. sounds good to me. i think my mate would play that for sure.
i wonder if many people here actively play sports?
on another note i finished 6 hours of exams yesterday, and only have one more to go on thursday before freedom! 3 hours left then that's it. it's going to be hard tho - financial management.
go you good thing!
tl,dr: i perferated my labia playing lacrosse
