My most recent comparsion
Frankly, I should write a book about shit like this cause It's borderline a perfect analogy on the subject. I've been hurt this year by Michigan's HORRIBLE football team. I'm a big fan, no secret and it sucks ass knowing they blow and the season is only 2 weeks old.
As a college football fan and football fan in general i look forward to the start of football season ALL year long. When it finally comes it's a glorious day. When your favorite team loses consecutively to a 1-AA team and then gets throttled by a pac-10 team, you're sick to your stomach. Which, brings me to my point.
While watching the end of the oregon/michigan game at TGIF with Alicia, she asks "i'm surprised your'e still watching this game. Isn't it really depressing to see them being this lousy?" To which I responded "you know, I don't know why i'm watching it, but i feel i have to."
I thought about this later...here i am feeling anger, disappointment and frustration at this team that i'm swearing at in public at the bar, yet i stay with them the entire game, don't miss a play, and frankly, am looking forward to watchin' em' play again tomorrow. When else in life does a person act like this? The answer: The douchebag or douchbaggette that keeps taking back their wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever that they know constantly cheating on them.
Much in the same way Alicia didn't understand why I had to watch the end of the Michigan game (nor I for that matter) , from the outside, it makes no sense to an onlooker as to whey someone who is being cheated on, multiple times would continue to take back their significant other. None.
They do it, because it's what they do. Maybe it's the memories of what they used to have with the other person, or in my case, past victories Michigan may have had. Maybe it's the hope that the person will change, or, again in my case, Michigan may win one fuqin' game this year. Maybe it's because it's all they know, which, while i know a lot about sports..football is my favorite. Maybe the alternatives suck, no other good people to date, I can't pull for Michigan State.
Irregardless, the parallel is uncanny. Michigan Sucks and I'm the jilted lover still willing to take them back.
