Gamers Remorse

 I don't know what I was thinking. Hell, I guess I'm an incurable romantic at least that's what I think I need to designate myself as. I see these things that would be great to do and great to enjoy and then get myself involved and all the sudden I feel trapped and left wondering how stupid I am. The case in point this time is my new found appreciation and somewhat enjoyment of watching the local professional basketball team lose and sometimes win their games on National Television. We've just begin a new basketball season and first game was the other night we lost of course. The local team chokes very well. Now, we have this like television room upstairs of the third floor which is very nice. The entire time I've been here it's been used just a few times and I've used it a couple times. It's cozy it's small but can fit a fairly large number of people if you needed to. There's a large screen television there when TV screens were not so large and if they were it was something and this was a real nice little theater room at the time. Now however with flat screens everywhere and you get huge ones at a minimal cost the theater room reeks of old technology but it's now begin to be used again. And in my romantic mind I was thinking the other night while watching the local team lose this would be sort of fun to do in the big screen Theater room and open it up to anybody in the building who would like to come in and watch the local team play. We can even have a couple of pizzas sent in and make it a real enjoyable time. Then like the idiot I am, I bring this up at the coffee group on Thursday and all sudden everybody seems interested. Quite frankly my bit surprised and get the first hinges are twinges of you didn't really think this through did you? No I did not!

Since the possibility of a building-wide/group activity was only brought up once I don't know how significantly these other old folks are going to remember tonight when the local Utah Jazz tips off the ball for their second real game of the season. Quietly I could just roam the Halls today and hope that nobody remembers but what if somebody does and wants to know if we're still doing the function at the game room. I don't know what to say. What's the protocols? If it's your idea can you leave the event early especially if the team's losing? If it's your idea do you not show up to such an event and everyone's going to ask well as his idea how come he's not here? Not that I guess it makes a big difference one way or the other it's just some of the things I wodrry about and have remorse about seems like all the time …
