Act like you've been there. Unless you haven't. Then don't act at all. Just experience. I'd have a difficult time cheering for myself this passionately if I'd made the shot. Don't live vicariously to this degree. You paid for a ticket. Full stop. Enjoy the moment, but don't lose your sense of self to the point you think you're actually part of it. Cheer and appreciate. Don't cross the line and engage. The man's on the floor, reaching towards this year's regular season MVP. If I were a ref, I'd consider tossing him. Wish someone from the audience had gotten on stage and this close to Cue at his last WWDC presentation. How this isn't a meme yet, I have no idea. I guess at least he's not taking a picture. The only thing worse than being overly engaged in the moment is pretending it's more important to record it than to experience it. Labels: apple fail posted by ruffin at 6/17/2016 12:35:00 AM
