The Last Day of Freedom

Well, today can easily be said to be my last day of freedom for a long while. After this I'm pretty sure I need to start paying lots of attention in class and doing everything they tell us to do, if I want to do well and get anywhere in life. :S

Today marks the day I feel IMMENSELY proud to be a New Zealand Cricket supporter. Yesterday night, NZL thumped England in the final ODI, to take the series 3-1. This is after a CRUSHING defeat in the tests, two thumping defeats in the T20s and a 100+ run loss in the first ODI. NZL love being the underdogs, easily the most NONSENSICAL word to associate with them. Are underdogs in a competition supposed to be the most reliable semi-finalists in every competition? NZL came with that tag to the champions trophy a few years back, and WON it. They have a team with literally no depth, and minimal talent. But boy, do they have spirit. They play for each other EVERY game. They never give up fighting. Not even when one of their batsmen was hit by a vicious bouncer to a point where he lost 2 teeth (long story), did NZL stop fighting. Not even when Paul "I'm-a-bloody-cheating-bastard" Collingwood chose to uphold his appeal against Grant Elliot (longer story), did NZL give up. And they NEVER will. Its exactly what I LOVE that team for.

People ask me the most annoying questions sometimes. "Why don't you support India?", "Are you unpatriotic?", "NZL are such a bad team, why do you support them?".
SCREW ALL OF YOU. Why don't I support the Indian Cricket team? Simple. It don't see why I should. Sure they're talented, and really nice to watch when in full flow. But the politics involved in Indian cricket disgusts me. Even NOW, when Zimbabwe is in deep shit, and the ICC is ready to ban Zimbabwe from cricket until it sorts itself out, INDIA IS THE ONLY FREAKING COUNTRY TO "READILY STAND BEHIND ZIMBABWE CRICKET. wtf? For once stop thinking about the money and powerplay involved and think like humans idiots. All this translates to the team itself. Youngsters aren't given oppurtunities, players from Tamilnadu DONT even get a LOOK in. Disgusting and stupid. Just beacause I don't support the friggin cricket team doesnt mean im not a patriot morons. -.-

After the cricket on Friday my shoulder HURTS LIKE SHITTT. Haha. But pain is good. Pain means your alive. :] Shall make sure I enjoy this day like crazy. :]

Cheers.








"So I'll say why don't you and I get together,
and take on the world and be together forever.
Heads we will, tails we'll try again.
So I say why don't you and I hold each other,
and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven.
Cause without you they're never going to let me in."
