t.o.w. bets against the heart

Argh. I slept and played mahjong the whole day. Why why why am I such a slacker.

Anyway, still no indication of rain. I can afford such an extravagant lifestyle.

My entry title sounds country song'ish. Lalala, bets against the heart! THE HEAAAART... Clearly, Underwood's new CD is doing harm to my by large non-country music mentality. But country is quite fun. I like the stories they tell.

Anyway. As I told Wenyi, I'm here to blog about EEEssues.

Chuan Khim, one of my Sec 1s from 04, asked me who I would bet on to win the AO. So I screamed JENNIFER! Which is dumb because she is injured and not playing. But thats another story. I mean, if she was playing, I would have said her name in a heartbeat. But obviously that would not be the clever choice because she obviously wouldnt be in top form seeing as how she hasnt been playing for almost a year and a half now. A choice with better viability would be Clijsters, Henin-Hardenne or Davenport. But lets just propose the notion that Jennifer was indeed playing for the first time in 1.5 years and I had choosen to bet on Lindsay. How the hell would that work out? I don't know if that happens to others on sports betting (I'm guessing quite a bit especially with the soccer hippies). But isnt that betting against my heart. What if Jennifer was to meet Lindsay in the finals. I would be torned between wanting to win the bet (since I'm that competitive) and wanting to see Jennifer win another Grand Slam (since I love her that much). .

Everyone was telling me how dumb I was to keep betting on the US to win matches in the WC 2002. But I still did, match after match.

When we bet against our heart, are we neglecting our emotions for the bet or are we simply putting our eggs in more than one basket?

Quite the enigma. Still, when I watch that AO Open that will probably feature Kim and Davenport, I'd still be supporting my golden girl. =)
