Forget about Louis Vuitton, Dolce Gabbana or those typical brands a self-loathing Yuppie would wear.  In fact, my passion for video games and PC gaming has extended to my wardrobe (Yes, I’m a very proud geek!).  Thanks to CafePress and their wide selection of T-shirts, I can go beyond the usual crap commonly found in department stores.

Here’s some of my latest purchases from CafePress:

1. Classic Triforce: A perfect choice for old school gamers like me. If you don’t know what the Triforce represents, you’re better off watching Martha Stewart reruns.

3. Pro Gamer: Forget about Major League Baseball. My gaming skills is a lot more accomplished than a well-known steroid junkie who recently broke the home run record.

4. 1-Up Mushroom: A memorable character from Nintendo and Super Mario Brothers. Just when you think the end is near, the friendly Green Mushroom appears to save the day.

5. 1337: The Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 is for Minor Leaguers.  Real PC GAMERS know what it takes to be 1337.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re not man enough to move beyond video game consoles. 

A friend recently invited me to play a round of Golf.  I kindly thanked him for the invite but I refused to go.  To be honest, I really can’t stand Golf.  It’s the most pathetic game ever created, not to mention, a very expensive pastime.  I always laugh when people say “Golf is a sport you can never master”.  Like I really care.

Golf is not a real sport.  A real sport requires sweat, constant movement and skill.  Flicking your wrist with a titanium shaft doesn’t make you an athlete.  A fat slob, like John Daly, can swing a golf club, raid the liquor cabinet and stuff 20 burritos down his throat, while finishing a round of golf.  Does this make him an ideal athlete or a sportsman?  I think not.

Whether you run a marathon, shoot a basket or fight for a winning touchdown, a real sport will have you sweating hard at the end of the game.  And when you step on top of the podium, you had better be gasping for air before claiming that shiny trophy.  Golf doesn’t give you this opportunity.

Blackjack requires intelligence and skill, but not movement nor sweat.  Flying a kite requires movement and sweat, but requires no skill or intelligence.  And Golf?  Golf requires skill and movement, but little intelligence, and very little sweat. 

Golf is equivalent to playing Darts.  At least with Darts, you don’t have to pay 100 bucks per round, plus a set of darts is cheaper than those overpriced Golf clubs gathering dust in your garage.
