I hate March Madness

I am never doing a March Madness bracket again. I have done one every year since 1998, when I picked all of the Final 4 teams: Kentucky, Utah, North Carolina, and Stanford. Kentucky because the boy I liked liked Kentucky, Utah because they were in the same conference as BYU, North Carolina because I like their colors, and Stanford because they are our home team. I have never lived up to my own standard since. And so every year I am thoroughly disappointed and this year seems to be the worst. We did a pool at work and even with the Kansas, Villanova, and Syracuse upsets I managed to stay in the top 3 until last night. It was Ohio St that started the downhill spiral, and Kentucky who just broke my heart. I get so darn emotional, anxious and too personally invested. Understatement. I'm just not sure I can do this to myself anymore. I'm not even sure I'll watch any more games. Go Butler, because nobody in our pool picked them past the second round.
