Comic 28 posted! This is a long post, I was in a typing mood ^^
It's actually sorta on time ^_^ I was watching a basketball game a few days ago and I said if the Cavaliers won I'd get this comic done by Friday. They won, so I did ^_^
I wanted them to win too, btw. Mainly cos so many of those sports people say they can't. It seems to me that sports reporters are like weather people. They're wrong... a LOT..
But ultimately I want the Suns to win. I like Steve Nash. He's a role model for all short white guys everywhere ^_^
I used to be anti-sports in my early high school days. Mainly cos I WASN'T a jock/prep and therefore anything affiliated with the jocks I was against (except cheerleaders.. I liked them ^_^).
That's very stupid reasoning because it's not a decision based on personal feelings. The attitude is based instead on an ever-changing idea of social acceptibility. Basing one's decisions on what your group is "supposed" to do? Blech! Ta hell with that, I say.
I don't really like conformists, and I don't like "nonconformists that are nonconforming just for the sake of noncomforming" even more. It's so insincere. Do you wanna tell if someone's crazy or not? Ask them. If they say "I'm crazy" then they're NOT. A truely "crazy" person DOESN'T KNOW they're crazy. For example, Hitler thought he was completely sane. Not only that, but "sick" people go get help. People who say they're a "sick person" but don't do anything about it don't honestly feel like they're a "sick" person or they would. (little psychology there, not sure if it's right or not, but it makes sense to me ^_^)
Back to my anti-seperatist rant:
A "nerd" or a "goth" being against "prep" is no different than a "prep" hating a "nerd" or a "goth". It's the same social-conformity mentality. ("I hate you because you're not in my group").
Though the prep/jock's social standing gives them certain privileges over the nerd/goth. So there's a clear division due to that. That still doesn't mean that EVERYONE in a group is bad. Auto-rejecting what "the other side" does makes no sense to me anymore. Eventually in High School I started becoming friends w/ all the groups and kinda worked my way in and out of them whenever I felt like it.
Note: I lump nerd/goth in the same category. They're not the same "class" but in my day they were at the bottom of the social "foodchain" when compared to preps/jocks. That's why I put them together.
(However, if you're the type of person who actually gets worked up over that, do me a favor and smack yourself ^_^)
Well, my anti-seperatist rant aside.. uhh..what was I talking about originally?
Oh yeah..
When I was a senior in high school I started to watch football, and now I like to watch baseball and basketball and golf. They're really good background noise for drawing. Plus you get something to cheer for if you get into it.
Maybe I should just cut out that middle part ^^; I spent some time on it so I won't :P
Go Suns. Go Cavaliers.
