Desperate, racing to the highlight of your life and the destruction of others, including, relationships, neglect of children, and a dazed view of the world. Crashing toward a flat square box know as the television set, who has time for T.V. these days? Many sports obsessed men delegate from a sofa. The bills need to be paid! The kid's bleached your slacks! Okay dear, is all we hear. This is what I call a permanent brain fart. No clue as to what the heck is going on. I would definitely call this an obsession.

Rushing home and kissing the sportscaster, who by the way is a female of course, while gazing into the eyes of football players is spousal neglect with a twist of I don't give a rat's tail. It's like being on crack for God's sake, Show much can someone watch? Not to mention the audio is like being in a movie theater. Living breathing Fantasy Football till you pull your hair out and curse the PC. Not only do these things occur, there is group discussion about every player. Sports bar's packed to full capacity to watch UFC fights and drink beer. The excitement after a hard day's work builds. Thinking only of the game you are going to watch when you bolt through the door, grab your beer, and plant your butt on the sofa. It is like earplugs against the world were planted in your ears. The only sound you here is racket coming from your favorite appliance.

The funniest display of this obsession is talking to one's self about the game. Meanwhile your spouse is reflecting on the day and arguing with herself. Here comes a little secret. Your spouse now has an addiction of her own. She found love and companionship with computer games and social websites. Her pulse beats rapidly for the pleasure she gets from being challenged. Day in and day out the same routine. Only coming up for air to eat, sleep, and shower. Yet so many people think this is a normal behaviour. If both of you are busy, who is minding the struggles of everyday life? All people have some form of addiction, some funnier than others. We obsess about many things in life. What is the answer? This could be complicated. Just pull up a chair and join us. We will call it the home for the mentally ill.
