The Winter Boredom Blog

Rejoice, oh Tennis- and Formula 1 fans! We are finally going into the winter break.

I admit i haven't watched a lot of F1 this year. It was a great season when you are a fan of Sebastian Vettel, but i happen to be a german Ferrari- fan. I'm in the desert.

Nice place, ain't it.

Oh well. I decided to follow tennis more closely this year, only to find that my favourite player was more or less (with some exceptions) outplayed by someone i don't particularly like. 

McFalls' Maxim
No degree of acceptance can ever change the facts.
Translation: You may come to terms with being screwed, but nevertheless you're still screwed.

And i haven't even come to terms with that. I have been screwed, in more than one aspect, and the hell i will 'come to terms with that'.

But i also collected some 'funny' facts over the year i'd like to share with you. Not everything was bad. Some things were worse.

Hunter's Corollary to Murphy's Law:
Things always go from bad to worse.

Oh yes- where was i?- ah, the fun.

Like reading Roger singing Hosiannah over his devine self day in, day out. Or Djokovic crawling out of an egg, and being hooked up on a Scientology machine. Hamilton developing an inferiority complex over his team- mate Button and trying to overcome this by crashing into Felipe Massa every other race. Massa ready to start a fist fight trying to overcome his own inferiority complex against Fernando. Christian Horner developing into a public hate figure for everyone, including a certain amount of Red Bull- fans (are there any?). Sutil throwing around glasses and 'accidentally' hitting someone else with that.

By the way, has anyone found out yet why? I wonder...i do have an idea though. Leading me to the ultimate point of having 'fun' in a year like this one.

Have you ever asked yourself- just for fun, of course- if there are actually some gay guys in tennis or F1 hiding in the closet?

Is that important? Well, maybe for Sutil...frankly, i don't give a rats ass about Sutil. 

If there are, they are all wearing beards (for your information: a 'beard' is a wife or girlfriend presented to the outside world by a man in the closet to demonstrate he is not). Anyway- is it important? This blog is not called the Winter Boredom Blog for nothing, see.

From the statistics: 10- 20% of all married men in their 40ies are actually gay, and on their way to come out with that. Some after having been married for more than 10 years. Are you a woman, and married? Well...

I have read that there are certain suspects. What you will mostly hear then is 'can't be, he is married' or 'can't be, he has a girlfriend'. Wrong. Yes, it can be anyway. Is it important? No (unless its someone with quite a lot of female fans who will all start crying over that).

Aren't we proud of living in a world where sexual preferences don't matter any more?  Do you detect some sarcasm here?

Imagine you are a gay man, and your reputation, your public persona, your career, everything you have achieved in life depends on your appearence of being a straight guy. You did your best, but what if you'd get tired, one final day, of pretending? 

You will all end in hell anyway, you know.

Great place. I might apply for a job. I'm really good at faning the flames.

I challenge you. Can you find the man with the beard? I'll not say any names. I found him, but i can't say there is anything funny about it. What is funny, though, is to observe selective perception from journalists and public (fans) alike.

Our brain works that way. It filters out everything that does not fit into our 'belief'. Or, in our wishes. Or, into 'what everyone is saying'. We can see trees but will miss we're in a forest. Find the man with the beard! And good luck...
