Merely that I have a World Wide Web page does not give me any power, any abilities, nor any status in the real world. ↗

I don't really like politics that much. And I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it, but in the end you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world. ↗
