Toast Life

[jedi mind tricks]

Life is a beautiful thing.

I have an epic wife, a baby girl that I love and Freo are playing out of their skin. Can it get any better than this. I need to take a step back and save this 'cause it is great.

I still can't believe how good Freo played last night.

winning.

is anyone else finding that the freo ethos of giving great effort is rubbing off on their own lives? this is going to sound dorky as hell, but i put a reminder in my phone each day that says 'great effort' because there are certain habits i want to change and it acts as a nice reminder that going through life on cruise control isn't going to give me reward for effort.

Freo are playing like champions and you want to live up to your true potential.

ironically, i'm gonna have to devote less time to watching footy if i'm gonna really give great effort to my personal life. would love the dockers to win the flag this year and then just switch off from footy for a while. if not, then i'm stuffed for another year .

I am a lover not a fighter but more or less was hoping that others would add what they are getting out of the way Freo are playing at the moment. Last night was epic.

Freo took me through a very stressful time in my life - and grateful for that distraction and inspiration, I will bleed Purple for life.

Good on you JMT! What a great time to be a Dockers Support hey?

Yeah well my life is crap. The only good thing is I have plenty of time to watch the Freo play brilliant footy

I'm a bit like that too. I've been fanatical for such a long time, now that we are good I'm starting feel like they don't need me anymore (not that they ever did) but I'm less inclined to hang out here and endlessly analyse things. I'm almost afraid to even watch games because I don't want to jinx them. I'm going to turn Foxtel off after this year and not watch as many of the other games on, just keep an eye of Freo but hopefully not become as all consumed by the season next year. Too much else going on the great wide world.
But as for this year

Enjoyed that. Well done Jedi Mind Tricks. Very positive and uplifting. Beautiful even

yeah, it's seriously becoming a problem for me, not that footy isn't all kinds of amazeballs, but fandom can be like living vicariously through a team's ups and downs and the longer it goes on for the more i'm realising it's become an all-consuming distraction at my personal expense. just gimme a flag this year, freo. that's all i ask.

Yeah I made a pact with the universe, if Freo win I'll stop watching.
i think to every time a purpose. I was a fanatic as a kid then for a while when I lived in Melbourne in the early 90's and again now but in between I just go into a remission state and ignore it for a while. Not sure how you could keep it up for a whole life at the level of a fanatic.

Nice one JMT. Life is pretty good at the moment, football-wise at least. Wish the frickin market/economy would pick up again though. C'mon China, grease our wheels!

I hear ya
