For the first time

I am actually excited about cricket. I never thought this day would come. It first started out by catching live scoring through text online. Then I started watching the games online, but today I did something I thought I would never do. I was on my way to class. It was cold and windy. I was barely awake and wanted the day to end already. As I approached the building, I saw somebody from my class leaving. As he passed me I gave them one of those looks. You know, that look that says "I know you. You know me. Please say hello so others will think I am cool." He ignored me. This pissed me off because he is in my group and we have a presentation in a week and we still have a lot of work to complete. I thought to myself "Did this motherfucker really just do that?" What made this worse was the fact I received an email earlier that morning from another group member informing me that he was not going to come. Oh fucking great, looks like Bali is going to have to go into beast mode and start mad brainstorming on mofos. Looks like Bali is going to have to start dropping organizational structure on somebody's momma. But there was a silver lining. Actually a silver blimp because when I got to class I found out it was canceled. Good shit, but I was dead tired. I had another class about an hour and half later so I had time to kill. I didn't have any studying to do. I go to the library and hop on a computer. After reading some news I realized India was playing Australia in cricket. I stopped myself from watching at first. I mean, I was going to watch an illegal stream of cricket that was being played in India while in school. This is something I made fun of people for doing in the past.I distracted myself for a few minutes but I couldn't resist anymore. I immediately became paranoid about the others around me and what they would think if they saw what I was watching. They were working on their academics or on Facebook. Something that's normal in college libraries. But to watch cricket that is constantly being interrupted by commercials for prepaid phones and cooking oil? Highly unusual. Because of this I opened up a tab for Google and pretended that I was looking at stock prices. I squinted and put my left hand under my chin to make it appear as if I might be losing money. That's the only thing I could come up with. The apex of my excitement is when I learned that India and Pakistan were going to be playing in the semifinal. This is something I wouldn't care for in the past, but now I am pretty jacked. I hope the people with brown skin and funny names wins. I am Baliwala. I'm known for wickets in cricket, I got myself a fawty and a shawty, and I'm about to stick it. That is all.
