Temper

I would venture to say that for the most part I am an even tempered sort of person.

But there are a few subjects that when broached just about always send me perilously close to a violent rage no matter how much I try to suppress it.

Usually it has to do with taunting me on a subject that I hold close to my heart. Probably because I am defensive by nature, though I wish I weren't, when someone refuses to hear my side of the argument and then taunts me I just about lose it.

I've gotten better over the years. And anymore my rage subsides quickly and the subject is approachable and I usually want to make amends.

It's one of the reasons I cannot and do not watch sports. I get too riled up about it. Most of the time I really try not to care, it just hurts too much to care about a team that is going to disappoint you. And they ALWAYS do. At least if you're from KC.

Playing sports I have no problem with this.

Which is backwards.

Anyway. Enough rambling.

I'll still never live in Kansas. NEVER. Not even if you gave me a free house.
