It’s a common occurrence for me: I see a player score a considerable amount of points in the first quarter of a game, I set my expectations way too high while experiencing nearly orgasmic waves of hype all across my body, and then my hype level crashes through the floor when the player in question fails to keep up their rate of scoring.
That is exactly the sequence of events that befell me when I saw that Nemanja “Buh-Jellica” Bjelica had twelve points in the first quarter of this game, providing a considerable percentage of the Kings’ scoring in the quarter. But, there was another layer of hype that made the upcoming events even more tragic and devastating: Bjelica is a Euro (specifically a Serb Euro), and Euros compel me to reach even greater peaks of hypeitude because the potential for juicy 10K+ view counts is much higher.
As you would expect, I am in a very bad place right now. I quickly descended through the levels of despondency and depression to reach some kind of emotionless black void from which there might be no escape. If my video descriptions seem kind of flat and monotone going forward, it’s because Bjelica has robbed from me my ability to feel emotions. I would demand that he give me back that ability, but one of the consequences of a lack of emotions is that I lack the ability to care about the fact that I have no emotions. I might be stuck this way forever.
