stream of unconciousness

ok yah, the basketball team didn’t win this year.  sigh, heartbreaker.  i dont want to get in to the details of the game coz its just too painful to relive.  we lost both of the games we played in semis.  we had a great regular season, but we just couldn’t keep it together to win the big ones.  not to take anything away from ateneo and beda though.  they were worthy oponents.  in the end, you just have to resign urself  to the reality that you can’t always win every game.

the one positive thing about the whole experience though was getting to play a game with ateneo’s drums in the background.  hehehe  i know i’m in UP now, but 4 years of going to uaap games and getting pumped up by the blue babble has programmed my body to release adrenaline after hearing those beats.  in fact, all the atenean players on the team where extra pumped in that game against ateneo coz of the drums.  it mightv seemed like we were mocking ateneo when we’d bob out heads or bounce to the beats, but we were really just genuinely pumped.  it was like playing for the uaap team!  anyway, atleast we have that to look back on.

finals season in law school!  been spending my days playing fifa07 though.  im waiting for my instinct of self-preservation to kick in.  maybe i can find some ateneo drumming to listen to…

oh!  and i watched 300 this week.  twice.  cool movie.  wish i were a spartan.  but man what kepts these guys from being pricks?  i mean, say you’re a 25 year old spartan walking around in athens on a vacation, you stroll around knowing you are genetically superior to everybody else around you (coz of the ’selection’ as a newborn), not only that but you’ve been trained like a little bitch to kill, and you live your life looking forward to …death…in a battle.  what kept these guys from being obnoxous bullies?!  did they have psych classes in sparta to keep the guys from having superiority complexes?  apparently, wikipedia sez they were very noble people.  a theory of mine is that they were so used to fighting in training and in battle, that they might actually miss ‘losing’ once in a while.  like if someone tries to debate with them, they might just concede instead of being a sore loser and kicking the other guy’s ass.
