Ball Games...

Well I like ball games, but not the sort you would automatically think... ahem sorry for being crude but it's true. In fact sex is the only ball game I like. England were playing in the World Cup today, was I interested? Was I bollocks. I have always hated football. ever since I was a young child and my father would make me watch football for hours in silence, I couldn't laugh, or play, or do anything. I just hate football.

At work today the England game was played on the telecasters around the entire office. It's not possible to avoid football. It's everywhere. Not only was I crap at PE at school, I am in fact the least patriotic person in the UK. I really don't care if people take offence. Did you know St George was an immigrant from Lebanon looking for work? I bet you fascists out there didn't know!

We are a global community, we are all brothers and sisters, human beings. Why do we need Nation States to separate ourselves? Nation states are imagined communities. They don't physically exist. They exist only in thoughts, fleeting electrical signals between neurons. They have no mass or substance. They are mere thoughts, dreams, hallucinations. Oh I feel an idea for a thesis here...

I also hated PE at school. What torture. I always ran away from the ball at school, but still trying to pretend I was really into the game. Then the ritual humiliation of being whipped by wet towels, having my undies stolen, only to be found wet in the showers... What a horrid time. I remember once throwing a ball backwards whilst playing rounders. What a disaster.

And of course 'the gays don't catch. Not a stereotype but FACT. We do not catch balls, keys, or whatever is being thrown our way. The only thing we like to catch is the odd envious glance at our new fab Westwood shoes.

My rant is over for today, but I feel fuelled into doing some research on this national bind we have in our heads. Hmmm?????
