Rules of friendship

I get intoxicated by watching soccer. A player I liked, when to a team that I like in Germany, and that gives me an excuse to abandon a team I was following, which is good because they took on a defense contractor as a sponsor. 

I feel life is intensely political and I'm pretty sure by not following a team as closely, won't harm it at all, but it will make me feel good. Shams doesn't like soccer or politics, so he wouldn't really care. No one ever matches up all your interests, personality, and the other million things that define you. He seems to want to meditate and be on the path, that's enough for me. 


When I go into my love of Buddhist mythology, metta dopey mode, I enjoy the moon getting full and things like that. When I'm more critical and and focused, I'm not really taking care of my positivity. There's a level of ascetic just acceptance of everything and no need to be entertained or pampered. Was watching a talk today where the guy just suggested sitting in a chair for 6 hours. I need entertainment too much.
