Things are more than they appear

Hello,

This blog has no purpose, its just me rambling.

I was thinking last night and this morning how much of the story we miss. I am not really referring to a particular situation, but just in general. We see what we want to see, we hear what we want to hear and we tend to ignore the rest of whatever went on, whether we do it consciously or subconciously.

In sports there is a whole lot more that goes on behind the scenes than gets caught by the refs. A player can pinch, trip and elbow-jab his opponent to his hearts content while the ref is looking the other way, but the only thing the on-lookers see is the opponent getting more and more upset for what appears to be no reason at all. When the opponent finally loses it and checks the guy in a way that the ref can't help but card him, the audience boos and hisses at the display of poor sportsmanship and cheers when he gets kicked off the field. The opponent gets thrown out and has to sit dejectedly on the side lines fuming over the unfairness of the whole situation.
After the game he sounds like a pussy for whining about being pinched and prodded by the opposite team so he keeps it to himself and everyone assumes he is just a poor sport... and he gets comments from the peanut gallery like "cool it." "it's just a game" "hot head, you lost us the game..." etc...
Poor guy... I wish everyone had an opportunity to present their side of the story in a unbiased setting...

An incredibly gifted faker.

I got my blog almost a month ago and have yet to really put any time into it. I usually am pretty good about ranting for no reason, but lately I have nothing to say, or rather, I have things to say, but don't have the desire to sit down and type up whats on my mind.

The other day I read all sorts of "How to's" for bloggers and "Ideas that will make your blog sizzle" articles and after finishing, I have decided that my blog is for me. I am writing it to say what I want to say. I am not going to have a particular theme or a niche or whatever the correct bloggism is. I am just going to say what I want, to whom I want, when I want... opinions be damned... well I mean you can leave opinions and I won't damn them, but do know I will not take anything anyone puts too seriously.
