I actually don't think I do, so I please, tell me.

Do I need to tell you? You ever see a sports game on TV? You ever seen a sports game in person? People are nuts about this stuff. People live for this stuff.

BTW, re-reading your post, you're a little too optimistic here. You're forgetting that the guys who own these baseball teams and pay these players are billionaires and multi-millionaires. They're not going to help poor people anyway.

Do you guys know if they still offer people money for selling themselves to medical research?

My financial situation is looking rather grim and I need a way to make some quick cash.

You could be a sperm donor.

The sad thing is, I'm seriously considering that. How much does it pay?

I dunno. I've never done it.

I used to be an extreme football fan. I mean, it would ruin my week if I didn't get home to watch Monday Night Football, and I got to stay up late on Mondays to watch the games. I've been there, and it really used to be a staple of my life, but I've done without it for years, but I can see how if someone threatened to take away music from me, I would feel the same way you do about sports. People [I]living[/I] for it though? Don't you think that's a bit over the top? :p

Even then, I've seen people have just as much fun watching a pick-up game at my park, and at our high school sporting events. I'm sure people feel much more of a personal connection to these types of things, whether it be a neighbor's son playing in a basketball game, or just going to watch to hang out with some friends.

Also, in my post after Jom's, I did change my stance a bit, so read that for clarification, I guess.

Alex- Do a family tree search. You're bound to have some relatives tied to the mafia. Join the family and earn some extra cash. :p

Sell your body to science.

No matter how ironic and how much that contradicts itself.

The whole reason I'm bringing this up is how I mentioned the other day that my ideal editing suite will cost me around $1300-$1400. My bank account right now: somewhere in the neighborhood of $120.

Be a plasma donor. There's this company by my uni that does it... so they get all the college kids, heh. You just have a physical exam, I think, to make sure that you have healthy blood and no communicable diseases.

Hang on, let me find the site and double-check.

Look around the site and see for yourself.

For some reason, I think your first couple visits are $20, but then they pay you a little more for each time you come back... maybe $40? I don't know, I can ask in the uni's community blog, and people will find out for me if you're interested.

It really isn't much of a stretch to say that there are people out there who live for it.

Can I explain why? Heck no. I can't even explain why I like sports so much. It's just a feeling that I get. There are times where it seems like things in sports transcend sports and are bigger than sports, which is always a plus.

I just don't know. It would be cliche just to say that sports reveals character, that it becomes good vs. evil, moral vs. immoral; how a matchup between two rivals becomes more than just team vs. team, it becomes city vs. city/college vs. college, a way of life vs. another way of life.

God...it just sounds dumb when I try to explain it.

You never told me how to get ahold of you. I'm going back in two weeks anyway. Do you really think they're going to hire me?

I've fallen in love with the new Nevermore album, This Godless Endeavor, and I can't get enough of it's genious.

[QUOTE=3074326]AIM chat, anyone?[/QUOTE]

I'm up for it.

I don't like AIM chats. Not the official musicianforums one.

YDload, I just got your avatar just now.

I hate AIM. Whoever designed it should be skinned alive.

RCA, :thumb: on going back to your old avatar.

No, Alex, the guy who designed MSN 56k should be skinned alive.

As for everyone else, whats been happening?

Well, with the confirmation of my B in Advanced Higher Geography it looks like I'm going to Uni in Manchester :)

I have to wait till the 18th before I know where I'm off to...

Wow, you guys find out incredibly early where you'll end up at uni.

Well, a month's heads-up is only fair...

Good for you, man, my AS results are on the 18th, but you be older and in scotland, so completely different :p
band practice in 25 minues, desperately attempting to learn the words to whiskey in the jar...bah

Does the UK begin it's educational year at the end of Summer? or at the beginning of each year?
