It's Sad

I was quite skeptical of Ac Milan's chances of progressing past the quarter final stage although Bayern had some players injured. AC Milan produced one of their finest games of this season as they scored two goals in the first half to set up a titanic battle against Manchester United. I was quite impressed with the ageing C.Seedorf as I felt that he was beyond his due date and he proved me wrong by scoring one and assisting in the other. One of my hall friend commented that they play like Manchester U where I have to grudgingly agree as some of AC Milan's footwork and passing reminded me of Manchester United. I can't wait for them to slay Man U as the talk of the treble is getting louder and louder and the old arrogant banter and bullshit from their dear Alex and players seem to be making a comeback.

I was earlier thinking of Liverpool and felt that they have nothing except past glory to boast about and I suddenly thought about a few of my acquaintences who completely behave like Liverpool. I used to be surrounded by people from good sec school and some of them will indulge in conversation like how they were better off in their secondary school and now, they are in a shit hole. The purpose of their conversation is to make themselves feel good and relieve their glory days. I feel that some of them do not have respect for people from neighbourhood schools just because they happen to do well in an exam 10 years ago as their conversation alienates some of us including myself. It can get worse if the same topic surfaces again and I have to put up with such bullcrap for the next 30 mins. I have to admit that some of these guys and girls are brilliant but they are completely let down by their trash talk.

I know of guys from a certain school are very proud to be associated with their school and will address each other as brothers and are proud to hang out together under the banter of their alma mater but they end up bitching and back-stabbing behind their so called friends' back right in front of me. The worst part was I felt that these guys were cool at the beginning and started to dislike their behaviour when I learnt of their true colours and I am so ashamed of myself for thinking so highly of them.

I have great respect for people from the gifted secondary schools as some of my closest friends are from these school and I have learnt a great deal from them as well and they happen to be very nice as well. However, some of the people I know who indulge in such bullshit talk and past glory give these schools a bad impression and should perhaps learn that humility goes a long way and being intelligent does not earn you any respect when you are arrogant.
