So it's almost Christmas time now eh!? It's amazing! Lights everywhere! I'm a little disappointed in my own house however, we don't have as much as we usually do, but being the first year in this house I think we did alright. We blew a breaker when putting up the lights though.. It was kinda of funny because even thought my dad plugged all the lights in, the breaker didn't blow until my mom used the microwave.. therefor it's her fault..right? haha..right....So I had about a million things that I was going to talk about, and now I can't remember.. So.. I shall go do something else and come back.
*PAUSE*
Alright, I'm back and my topic for this post is going to bEeEeEeEeEe....
*!*COMPETITION*!*
Is it good all the time? Should we limit competition? A quote that I've heard about a hundred times, that nobody seems to know where it came from is; "A little competition'll do you good." Will it really? Or do we just fool ourselves with egos? Of course, I think some is good...such as in games...erm..card games.. hehe, some of you(Sarah..Matt..) know what I'm talking about!! But really, where does it end? When does it get to be more than just friendly competition? Ever heard of those soccer moms/dads(or since we're Canadian(eh?)..Hockey moms/dads..) that freak out when their sons or daughters teams aren't the best, or don't win? Does that have anything to do with competition, or is that just underlying issues? I'm definately guilty of winning something, maybe more than once, and just getting super cocky about it..yes, ego trip..I have been known. Comments! ...Once again I say... LOVE 'EM!

Make that 'healthy' competition and I don't think you can go wrong. Competition makes people try their best at whatever they are competing in. If the Olympics weren't around, how many athletes would we have? Competition spurs people on to do things they never thought they would be able to do. It encourages people to try. And that is a good thing. The soccer/hockey parent who thinks winning is the most important thing in the world isn't a very healthy competitor or, in my mind, a very good parent either.
haha...did you actually use the words "friendly competetion" in the same sentence as card games with me? ahahahaha
Yes I most certainly did... maybe a mistake ... :P
Update darn you!
