If you don't know me personally, I am from the Philadelphia region. I am also a die hard 100% fan of all things Philadelphia including the Phillies (WHOO HOO 2008) Flyers and Eagles. Because I am a die hard fan of Philadelphia sports I am constantly disappointed. It goes with the territory of being a Philadelphia fan, and I have been able to live with it. I get the jabs from my friends who are fans of "better" sports teams, but in the summer I'd rather be watching the Phils even if they are on a losing streak, in the fall and winter I bleed green and orange.
This year though, my Philadelphia Eagles are kicking ass! Seriously they are 5-1, Chip Kelly is awesome as a head coach, our special teams are superb and though he isn't putting up the numbers like last year Shady McCoy is a beast along with our country boy quarterback Nick Foles. I am excited for this season!!
Anyway, this past Sunday night The Eagles played our division rival (well I guess all of the teams in our division are our rivals) The New York Giants. I hate loathe anything New York sports related, talk about cocky ass hats that are always talking out their asses. So, I have (or had) a friend who is a Giants fan and we made a bet, the bet was something personal, but still a bet. The details really do no matter. This friend (?) of mine would text during the day and just generally be friendly with each other. I considered this person a good enough friend to share personal details with and value their opinion and such. I was also under the impression that they felt the same as I did.
Come Sunday, I was excited because Giants and Eagles were playing (but also The Walking Dead was back on, but that is a whole other story) and this was the game we had our "bet" on. In the days prior to this, my friend wasn't as what I call "textative" (yes, that is a real word I made up, and yes you can use it) but this person in going through a lot of personal changes and I respect that, and I actually understand that since, I too have gone through a lot of personal changes. Fast forward to the game The Eagles not only won that game, THEY DOMINATED it the score was 27-0!!!! Now, first of all that was so incredible to see, not only did the Eagles spank the Giants, the Giants couldn't even get past our (somewhat) weaker defense. Secondly, I had won this bet.
It has been 6 days since the Eagles handed out an ass whooping of a century, and it's been almost 7 days since I heard from my "friend". I am hurt and confused, but mostly I am disappointed that once again, even when they win, the Eagles have let me down.
It is silly really, I shouldn't even be bothered by something like this when I have so many other sensational things happening in my life right now. I just feel hurt. I feel let down. But, once again I will pick up my green bleeding self and continue being Erin. That is all I can be, and if who I am isn't good enough for some one I guess I am better off without them in my life.
