I've been "Quite Excited" for some time now. The only thing that diminished the excitement was the two week delay. But after last night, whatever excitement momentarily abandoned me has undoubtedly found it's way back. For the hundredth time I watched the conclusion to the 2008 Formula One Season and I still can't believe how that played out. The last 5 laps of that race rank right up there with the most incredibly intense sporting moments I've ever experienced.
I used to get fired up for every single game of a baseball season (162 games), but that has dissipated over time (or more accurately, after the Red Sox have won two World Titles in the past decade), and the only thing that is comparable for me now is the start of Grand Prix. The anticipation build-up during the formation lap is like nothing other that I can find in sport anymore. There could be a meteor shower coming down all around my house at 2AM on Sunday morning, and I couldn't be bothered to take a peek out a window, because for crying out loud, the race is starting!
Jeez, after re-reading this post I might have to change my vote to "Very Excited". Nah forget it, I just saw that picture of a brace-faced Seb again!
