�If you can accept losing, you can't win.� - Vince Lombardi
KU won! KU won! KU won! They beat Virginia Tech 24-21 in the Orange Bowl last night. The atmosphere here in Kansas has been nothing short of excitement. The game was awesome, too. It's been awhile since I've watched a game live on TV and had the chance to get up and scream at the screen. Good times, I say. Good times.
I'm in a slump. There's a million things I need to do but I'm not in the mood to do any of them. My optimism has not left me, but I feel down in the dumps. I want to wallow about in it right now and enjoy my unhappiness. So what if I finished off a carton of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream? Who cares if I drown myself in alcohol and pizza? Sometimes you just have to slum it and let everything else fall to the side. At least, that's what I keep telling myself.
I'm not even sure why I'm in a blah mood these last few days. It's not like it's the weather or some tragic unfortunate event. And it's been my choice to be anti-social offline, preferring the company of the television and a good book to a bunch of people.
Sometimes I wonder why there has to be a reason to everything. Why can't I just be in a blah mood and accept it as it is? But no... I have to try and figure out why I'm feeling icky and come up with a million different excuses. Of course, I come up with counter-excuses to the excuses, so I end up absolutely nowhere but where I started off from.
Well, enough about that. I'm boring myself. I believe I have a book calling my name right now. Maybe life will throw some exciting things my way soon so I'll have more things to talk about. For now, I think I'll go and try enjoying the boredom that encases my life at the moment.
