Tonight is the night. As a matter of fact it's just minutes away. I just have to get this, get something off my chest.
It's times like these when I envy my friends who don't care about football. Tonight "my" team, Manchester City meets their archrivals Manchester United in a game that could turn out to be decisive for who wins the league.
This track by FatBoy Slim is usually played at City's home games at the Etihad Stadium. It captures that suspence, the tension, the atmosphere, the impact of big football games. So here's to a City victory. This is where it counts. Right here, Right now.
I think we all go through periods where we sometimes feel a bit sad and blue. Be it due to lack of motivation, inspiration, love, money, success, whatever. The sources can be many and often overlapping.
I'll be honest and admit that I'm currently in a state where things aren't exactly "cool"... But then I stop and think about how trivial my problems really are "in the big scheme of things". I'm really ridiculously lucky to live such a good life.
But sometimes that might be hard to appreciate because there is a discrepancy between my reason (which keeps reminding me how lucky I am) and my emotions (which remind me I'm unhappy). Trivial issues (or nuisances) are termed first world problems by some, which might be quite fitting in many cases...
It's alright to feel sad, it's only human, but remember that you are lucky.
I always watch this video (accompanied by a brilliant track) by the Danish band WhoMadeWho when I need a reality-check...
