Hi All..
Seriously, I don't know why i keep playing Risk.
Fair enuff, I love the game. In fact it's one of my favourite board games. But seriously, how much punishment do i want receiving. I mean I've played the game for years, but I've never won a single game yet. Call me a sore loser why don't you. I was just finished off by my brother in-law again after an extensive round of the game includng copious ammounts of alcohol and my friends are now calling me well, a sore loser for sitting in my room and well, updating my blog but i just needed some time to reflect. Do I really want to put myself through this again? If I'm always losing doesn't this mean something? Maybe I was never meant to be a general. Maybe this is a case of sour grapes? If you keep losing at something, doesn't it mean you should throw in the towel and try something else? Maybe I'm being a sour loser. I don't know, what i do know is that I don't want to keep hurting myself. Yes, I'm a sensitive soul and I do not like losing. Maybe I should start playing another game that doesn't involve chance so much. I don't know, after four consecutive double ones (lowest role in the game) which by the way is the norm for me in games like this, it means I've got shit luck and should be more conservative with the things i do. I don't know, I think I'm gonna stay of things that involve to much chance and stick with things that are more certain and safe. Yes, I admit I know I'm a sore loser. But i also know i don't like losing, well not all the time at least, I don't need this for my shaky ego.............
Man all this introspection over a stupid game. To the Ancient Greeks, the sorst thing that could happen to you, was if you lost or admitted defeat. It brought shame to you and your family. They would rather die than lose in a game. Of course, this would be during the Olympics or when they were at war. Well this isn't the Olympics so I suppose i should be more laid back and not take these things so seriously. After all it's just a bloody game...
