Airing out the Crazies part 2

Hello Blogger Universe,

I promised last time to explain my love for two NFL teams. The Minnesota Vikings and the New England Patriots! Now since I was a little girl who just wanted to spend some time with her father, I have loved sports and science fiction. More specifically I have loved watching sports, mainly the NFL. I used to spend all year in anticipation of the upcoming football season, because I would be able to spend the weekends with my father on the couch where I would be taught the many rules and regulations, terminologies and hand signals as well as the many ways to yell at the ref and coaches. These became and remain my favourite moments of my childhood, especially since I am the product of a separated and then divorced family.

Throughout the years one team has remained near and dear to my father. The New England Patriots have always been my dad's team. He would always make sure that we were watching a Pats game and used to boast that it was his dream to go to the Super Bowl where the Pats would play for the ultimate trophy any NFL team could win.... I, like the perfect Daddy's little girl that I am, have also always loved the Patriots.

However my father allowed me to make up my own mind and to have my own ideas. I started to enjoy the game, the teams, the colours and the excitement. Steve Young, San Francisco 49ers QB became my favourite until he retired (1999) and with his retirement came a deep sadness for me. I blamed the team for some unknown and wacky reason. And decided that the Oakland Raiders needed my devotion... Not my proudest moment but it happened... And then, thanks to a Christmas present from my Dad, I found Randy Moss WR!!! Since that time I have followed Moss' career, for the most part. The Minnesota Vikings became my fast favourite due to Moss, but mainly because their main team colour was and still is Purple... Since then Randy Moss has been my all-time favourite player and when he got traded to Oakland I basically stopped watching for a season, because I couldn't go through the hopelessness that is involved with being a Raiders fan. So when Moss became a Patriot, I was ecstatic. But that does not mean that I have lost my love for the Vikings. I have tried to stay loyal to the Vikings despite the fact that Moss is in New England, in fact whenever I play Madden I insist in playing the Vikings. But other than that I am completely split between the two teams.

Next time, I plan on finishing up with the introductions with establishing the idea that I am not crazy or anything like that because I have re-occurring dreams. Okay, maybe a little bit crazy, but not totally because I honestly do not feel crazy but then again I have no idea why I am having these dreams, especially since they are merely that, dreams. They have never happened in real life unlike many of my nightmares... That's another thing, nightmares, no matter how old you are, are FREAKING TERRIFYING! and I truly believe that the older you are the scarier they get, and that sometimes things that scare you when you are little are just as scary, if not more so, as you get older....

Peace, Love and Happy Dreams to all!
