Welcome back, post 2. big day ay :P lol nah just a really chill sunday, good explosion work today in the gym, and did a bit of study. Sorry to the person I couldnt meet up with at Circular Quay today, I just couldnt quite make it, hope you accept my public apology :P il make it up to you :)
So, in response to my first post back yesterday, i think one of my paragraphs caused a little bit of controversy. I vented out a little frustration for my mate, and the responses ranged from "ITS ALL LIES" to "this wouldnt have happened if you were a nice guy" to "OMG so true". That's good, that's exactly what i want. I want your input, your opinions, your views. This blog exists for YOU.
So, to address these responses. Firstly, they cant be lies because they actually DID happen. These events are true, and its sad but people actually do get left at the altar (figuratively), its not just Ted Mosby. How would you feel if you were very close to someone of the opposite gender, and at times it felt like there was something more, it felt like there could be something more, and the feelings were reciprocated? Furthermore, they talk to you everyday, they say they can't live without you, your just genuinely a really really nice person, you treat them like the only person that matters in the world. sounds perfect right?
you go away for a 3 day camp. yes, 3 days.
when you get back, THEY ARE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. how do you react? go. well, this is the teenage/dating years equivalent of getting left at the altar. sounds really fairytale ay? well im telling you, there are people out there in the world THAT ARE LIKE THAT. so its not lies.
Notice that the one that got shut down was genuinely nice, a non-douchebaggy kind of person. [for ease of typing il refer to them from now on as a male, but girls this can apply to you too.] HE was the one that got ripped to pieces, heart broken, left a changed man. So how does one react? well obviously they would do what would boost their confidence all over again, and as mates, as bros it is in their duty to help them get through these periods. what you see on the outside, you may consider overconfidence, cockiness, possibly dickheadness, but at the end of the day, its just the phase that an individual must go through to regain what was lost after another human being destroys their whole essence. This just completely proves the theory that nice guys never win. If you look into all relationships, including your own, your partner is never just a nice guy. To you they may be, but to everyone else, they could be different, it could be to one particular person even, but at the end of the day, NO ONE is a genuinely nice guy. everyone has a streak in them which is just cold, rough, dark, douche. as a human you cant kid yourself. being the "nice guy" will never work, because such a model does not exist. just be urself. its the one that can accept you for who you are, dark streak and all, that truly deserves you.
Speaking of something else, let's look at blog title. Yes, as you can see on facebook and on the news, Joey Barton of Newcastle United and Gervinho, of Arsenal caused quite some controversy today, and the refereeing of the world game is again brought into question. My opinion? Gervinho was the one that was in the wrong first, taking a dive. That should have been a yellow card, end of story. You cant blame him too much though, the French league is much less physical than the EPL. However, Barton was in the wrong to tell him about it. Yes it was a good introduction for Gervinho into the big league, and yes Barton was perfectly in his rights to give him a mouthful, however, both the boys getting heated should have resolved like the real men in NRL do, a bit of shirt tugging maybe a punch or too, then end of story, get on with the game. Both of them carried on like prima donna's. Gervinho did two things wrong, I think the red card was deserved. Barton I think should also have been redcarded, but at the end of the day, his was a borderline call, im not too fussed about his yellow card. I think that it was good though, its about time those princesses in EPL toughened up, stop taking dives, and get on with the game. you're paid to play football, not act the next episode of the Bold and the Beautiful.
Signing off,
Trevz.
