25 Random Things

1. I've lived in 6 states in my life.
2. My favorite color is green.
3. Work is important to me, but it's not #1.
4. My favorite TV show is EastEnders, a BBC serial. It's not shown in my area, so I've had to get creative to see it. :-)
5. Although I am more of a dog person, I have one cat who I love very much. My dog lives with my ex. I miss the dog more than I miss my ex. I still think of the dog almost every day.
6. I don't always know when to cut my losses.
7. I used to wear my heart on my sleeve more than I should. After being burned a few times, I don't seem to feel things as deeply anymore.
8. I get nervous more than is healthy, probably.
9. My Dad is very ill.

12. Learning to play rugby has been interesting but I'm discouraged with it. I think I'm not very good.
13. I don't care about my carbon footprint. I do try to use energy in a smart way.
14. I don't believe that people are responsible for most "global warming." I think it's the sun's activity.

19. My first dog was a show dog. He bit me in the face when I was 17. I had 49 stitches and I have a permanent scar.
20. I was skipped through first grade after a few weeks. Looking back, this had social and academic effects on me for years.

Today

Today is Super Bowl Sunday, a big day for fans of American football. As I learn more about rugby I can't help but notice more and more differences between the two games, although there are also similarities. For instance, American football stops every few seconds and some players require oxygen to continue living. Rugby goes almost nonstop for two 40 minute halves and I haven't seen any oxygen cylinders near the pitch.

Personally I believe the average competitive rugby player is far more of an endurance athlete than the average football player. But I am sure many will disagree. And as I've been reminded recently, my opinions are highly inflammatory.

If you're interested in learning more about the differences between American football and Rugby Union check this out.
