I try and take in a football game every week. I do it mostly to watch people. That's what I do...and I think I mentioned that in an earlier post. Most of the time it just reminds me of the awkward time High School was. Something else manifested though a few weeks back. I was sitting in a section of the stands and before I realized it, I was surrounded by female teenagers. As I slowly made my way to another section, mostly to avoid any complications associated with a 40 year old hanging out with the teenagers, I came to a realization.
Why was I so intimidated by girls when I was younger? Clearly, the girls surrounding me that night were complete idiots. They weren't any different than the boys, who were also complete idiots. Wow. Did I waste a few years there not dating. I could have had a lot more fun.
Perhaps the problem was that I was a troll. And I'm not just talking about living in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan (trolls live under the bridge....get it? Michigan joke.) I was sitting there in the football game watching these kids and how they acted and how it was different than my time growing up. Most had cell phones and many had cell phones with earphones in their ear. That made me wonder what in the world they were doing there, if they weren't even paying attention to those around them. I know I watched one kid who had a very pretty girl sitting next to him. I wanted to slap him aside the head and bring it to his attention that he had a stunner sitting there and he was texting his friend Bill about how he liked the last MP3 he was sent. Excuse Me! Look around you, you moron. Idiot. Girls are the most important thing in the universe and you have one RIGHT THERE!
Being a troll, I can see things like that now. And girls still make me nervous. Luckily I'm married to one that works her way past that.
