Be a sport, please!!

It's the year 2005. The smart ones among you will see that that is an odd year.
Indeed.
Do you know what this means for the average european guy?
It means no big sports events for the whole summer!
What am I supposed to do now?
Read my misery;

- The football competition has just ended
- Wednesday is that last football match of the season, the champions league final
- English football competition already closed
- FA Cup final was played yesterday

And since it's an odd year, it means this;

- No European championship football
- No World championship football
- No Olympics

I guess I'm forced to watch Friends reruns, bad movies and oh my god..I might even have to start looking for a hobby..what has this world come to?

My girlfriend will probably be happy about it though, now I have no choice but to give her my full attention so that will probably get me out of a lot of fights. On the other hand, if I don't give her enough attention I will have no excuse this time..oh, the sorrow!

Oh well.

I guess I'll start looking at the books on my shelves that are gathering dust.

Happy summer!

Howcome?

Indeed. Howcome?
This is something everyone wonders at some point in their lives. Howcome?
It's a perfectly fine thing to wonder. After all it is only human to ask this question, be it to themselves or someone else, in the hope of finding out the answer to the situation you can't quite comprehend. It is not wrong to ask this question, it is not something that people should feel ashamed about for having asked this.

However.

If, for example, your son finds out that all the internet connections in the house work, except the one that he is using himself, and he is trying to fix the problem, not quite knowing in which direction to look for the answer, attempting to rule out possibilities that could in no way be the reason for the problem, and slowly but surely losing faith in his problem fixing abilities, having thought through every possible reason for the problem, over and over again, finding himself empty handed after every attempt, there is one thing that you can never do.
You don't, under any circumstances, go to his room, finding him on the floor kneeling in front of the computer with a dazed and helpless look on his face, close to shedding tears over the one thing that can keep him in contact with his long distance girlfriend for free, the one thing that he gets hope out of, which comforts him every day just to see his girlfriend type "I miss you" in the chat window, you do not, you cannot, you will not, walk up to him, look over the scene, and ask him;

HOWCOME????

It's good that we are not animals. That we have concepts like morals, emotion and respect.
Because if we didn't..I could have killed someone today.
