Brazil keeps on

 rocking the cup!!!

Thank you God!

  B  R  A  Z  I  L  ! ! ! 
Soon to be 6 times WORLD champion!

Today Brazil won againts Ghana 3x0.
As I rejoiced our victory I caught myself thinking I have come a long ways...
As a kid and even pre-teen I would get so annoyed when everyone made such a big deal about soccer in Brazil.
Growing up, I always felt so left out whenever my dad and my brother would talk nonstop about Tennis...
I just never cared for sports. I didn't care to play them and much less to watch them on T.V.

But now I find myself caring so much that Brazil will "Jogar Bonito" (play beautifully, and win, of course),
rejoicing when the Long Horns won in January or being sad that the Mavericks lost the NBA championship...
What has happen to me?!?!? I remember swearing I would never enjoy watching sports on T.V. much less get carried away with it.
What has done this to me? Is it just a part of getting older and reconsidering your attitudes about certain things?
Is it an increasing need to know and be proud of my Brazilian roots?
or is it just having a boyfriend that is into sports? mmmm...
