What's your guilty pleasure?
You know, that activity which can steal huge chunks of your time before you know it? That indulgence which surprises people to know about you and may even be embarrassing to admit to some people.
For me it is sports. I can get totally engrossed in it, and not just my special obsession--basketball. I love basketball, football, tennis, olympics--you name it, I'll probably enjoy watching it, although I do have some exceptions--wrestling and boxing. I don't particularly thrive on golf or baseball, but I can even enjoy watching them occasionally, particularly during the World Series.
Recently I've been able to once again exercise one of my indulgences in this area, listening to ESPN radio and the Dan Patrick show in particular. He's quite entertaining and never fails to get a laugh out of me. I used to listen to it every day when I worked in Bowling Green. Now that I'm keying again, I get to listen to the last hour of the show just like old times.
My consuming passion is college basketball, especially the UK Wildcats, of course! It makes me so sad that I can no longer listen to the games on the radio. I can get it on the internet, but not usually until after the fact so it's not nearly as much fun. I seem to be in the wrong area of the country when it comes to basketball fans. I find very few people to discuss basketball in Tennessee. I've even been known to go to games by myself since I don't have any sisters or friends in the area who will go with me.
Here in Tennessee it's all about football. Football would be second on my list of favorite sports. I'm not into the college scene so much, but I love the NFL. The Titans are my favorite team, but there are some others that I follow pretty closely too. Maybe someday I can even go to a game. And to think, back before I was a fan, I actually won some tickets to a Titans game and sold them! In my defense, they had just moved to Nashville from Houston, and I didn't really know anything about them.
So there you have it. That's my guilty pleasure. What's yours?
