Hmm...

After a long night of doing things, I'm finally home, sipping on my favorite cup of peppermint hot chocolate and am thinking about everything that happened tonight.
So i have come to the conclusion that Boys are interesting beings. Tonight, I felt like I was one of them, like I really got some insight on how they are and why they are that way. It is incredibly interesting what boys and girls take seriously and consider important.
For instance, I had the pleasure of sitting through a flag football game, in the rainy weather tonight. Being the supportive friend that I am, I decided to cheer on my guy friend's football team as they entered their second round of playoffs. They were practically begging me to come out and support the team. Who knew flag football games were so important? Apparently not me.
For my friend and myself,we were under the impression that flag football teams and games were nonsense; a good way for the boys to get out, play some football, and have fun. We were expecting an entertaining, funny game to watch, but you would have thought these guys were playing for a Super Bowl. There was trash talking between the teams, all the players got overly physical with one another despite the fact that this was a "flag football" game, and the The boys got so mad at us every time we laughed after a play. It got to the point where my one friend jake, asked us to move because "we were a a distraction and weren't funny at all."
After the game, I was graced with being able to go back to the boy's house and watch them play the coveted new edition of Call of Duty. I must say it was probably one of the most entertaining experiences I have ever encountered. The level of seriousness was way beyond anything I had fathomed. It was all business. There was screaming and yelling at each other and absolutely no talking to the non players. One significant lesson I did learn was to NEVER steal a controller and try to play the game. It apparently isn't funny or appreciated.
So what did I learn? Don't question what guys do. They love competition and everything they consider imortant, is without a doubt very important. Video games are life and flag football is like their own NFL league.
