The Importance Of Something That You Don't Really Care About

In New Zealand, the biggest sport in my country is Rugby. Now, let me just say that I never cared for sports but the rest of my country seems to absolutely obsessed with it and recently the whole freaking Rugby World Cup is being hosted in New Zealand this year. For the past few weeks that's all that anyone wants to talk about, it's all over the news and the radio and Facebook, it can get a little irritating some times. Personally I'm more of a Starcraft 2 fan myself (yes, I actually follow professional gaming) and would rather watch a professional game of that, but to so many people sports is a way of expressing our patriotism for our country. New Zealand is one of the least patriotic countries you will ever see, so it's good to see that people can be proud of this country for once in their lives. Even though I may not care that much about this sport, I will probably join in with the cheering if we manage to beat Australia, because lets face it... it's Australia.

So for 10 things that make me happy, well it takes quite a bit of thinking for me to think of them but I guess that it would be:

1. Finding an awesome YouTube channel that none of my friends know about
2. The feeling you get when an awesome song you haven't heard in a while comes on the radio
3. Find an old video game in your closet that you lost 3 years ago
4. Making an awesome painting that your friends love
5. Coming up with a witty response that just makes everyone laugh
6. The sheer amount of arrogance that comes from winning a game of Starcraft
7. Playing a Mario game while watching Doctor Who
8. Making Films with my friends
9. Waking up thinking you have to go to school then remembering it's the weekend and you can go back to sleep
10. Enjoying something that most people don't even like, so you know that your one of the few people who has the privilege of enjoying it

Have an awesome week guys
DFTBA

  1. I can totally relate to the Australia vs New Zealand thing...I'm Canadian, and though I don't really follow sports, I was screaming my lungs out when we beat the U.S in the Olympics.
