The Mattress Maker Affair

No, I did not sustain an amorous affair with a woman who makes mattresses, it´s not like that (you guys should really learn to read between the line. The team I support from the Spanish "La Liga" is Atlético de Madrid known as "Los Colchoneros" and in a direct translation it means mattress makers, and NO, I AM NOT HAVING AN AMOROUS AFFAIR WITH AN ENTIRE SOCCER TEAM. Shame on you guys and on your kinky minds, you ought have some decency for fuck´s sake.


(You really should)

For those of you with a workable knowledge of Spanish soccer competitions, you are aware that the biggest teams are Barcelona and Real Madrid so I often get the question why is it that I chose to stand for a team that´s as regular as life; with ups and downs and moments of shame and glory, things change for us in the blink of an eye. Nobody likes to lose, but we all eventually do and the fall from grace makes a bigger bang when you´re not used to falling so why would you stand for a team that hunts nothing but glory and championships not the joy of it´s fans and sweet agony of a hard earned triumph? Why would you stand for something that does not represent you or what you might live? Complicated question when you think about it, yes this does not seem like my usual self but just keep rolling with me, because throughout life you pursue nothing but individuality. You pursue your dreams, your goals, your happiness and though they´re not mutually exclusive the one common factor is YOU, YOU are the one chasing YOUR dreams. So that´s how I came to this affair (Not amorous again, I am not gay and do intend to engage in sexual intercourse with 24 men) because the mattress makers stand for what I believe captures the whole experience of living, in the words of Frankie: "That´s life..". You can´t always expect to live in the bright side of the moon cause that would be trying to deny that which makes us differ from deities, the joy of erring and learning from the past so we can grow in the future.
