Yesterday, I made the decision to wear my Pittsburgh Penguins jersey. I realize this was a brave/foolish decision on my part. However, I wanted to rejoice in the Penguins' victory in game 6 the night before. First of all, it was a well played game and they deserved the win. Second, and more importantly, the Red Wings will more than likely win Friday night and skate around the Joe with Lord Stanley's Cup. Therefore, yesterday was my chance to revel in the moment.
Well, it started and never ended. The looks. The words. The general sense of unhappiness when anyone saw me.
"Why would you wear that?"
"Seriously?"
"What is THAT?"
And to top it all off, last night at the conclusion of our elder/staff meeting we were about to pray. One of our elders looked at me and said, "Say a special prayer for Jason." Wow, even dissed by an elder.
I realize that everyone (well at least the people at church) were saying all of this to me in love. It was kind of fun for the day to be the person almost everyone looked at with disgust. The real fun could be around the corner if the Penguins do find a way to pull off the upset.
shine!
Jason
