Football Depression
It’s been a while. I wanted to write more often. I’ve however been travelling, in order to evade this football madness which has gripped Europe.
It’s a shame, how the European Cup warps friendships into pathetic superficial reports of goals, red-cards, and injuries. But how can I personally care about twenty-two millionaires chasing a leather ball around a field? These are real adults and they should get real jobs.
I’m also amazed at the behaviour of my female friends. At least when club football is on, they don’t flock to the pubs to get neck cramps watching TVs. But during this god-forsaken European Cup, even they feign being interested in this nothingness.
I’ll continue doing lots of overtime hours and travelling every weekend. To hell with football.

I like it. You should have been here yesterday.
I needed the whole bottle of DUVEL to get through the match.

90 Minutes of nothing. The only points are scored in overtime.
Why can’t they skip the first 90 Minutes of each game and only do the overtime part live on TV?

The babes aren’t interested in football. They just want to ogle at the 22 cavemen, rub shoulders with guys in a testosterone charged environment and experience a little bit of excitement.
Your lack of interest in football gives you an advantage. You can go to the places where people congregate and spy out the most excitable girls who are clearly single. Then you can make a move on them by feigning a bit of excitement and interest. All of the other cavemen will be too absorbed with the match to see that you’re taking advantage of the situation to pick up chicks.
Excited girls are more approachable. I’ve even read tales of pick up artists meeting women at Billy Graham evangelist events and taking them home. They claim it’s the excitement of the event that makes this possible. That’s why taking girls dancing and to fun fairs and the like is conducive to a bit of romancing. Anything that elevates the heart rate is a winner (except following women down dark alleys late at night - keep it non-threatening).
