The color of my blood changes with the weather. It's not an entirely uncommon trait, there are many like me. We are the ones who have message boards as our homepages and use our clothing as advertisements.

We probably have more mortal enemies than you'd ever imagine... the funny thing? Our enemies are often exactly the same as us. The only difference lies in where they place their pride.

Whether your obsessions come to a conclusion in January, March, June or October, a die-hard often alters their schedule in that month so they don't have to miss a moment. After all, that final month is your last chance to endulge in your passion until the sports Gods proclaim a new year. January's new year is little more than an afterthought, a time to reflect on last seasons events and toast to the season ahead. To a normal human being, 2006 begins on new years day. To me it begins April 3.

Black and Gold runs through my veins in winter and Blue and Gold takes over at the first sign of spring. No matter what your colors, take pride in them and never give them up... unless you're a northsider. Cubs fans... feel free to give it up whenever you want.
