    Strange question, I know, but I was wondering if I was the only one who would go through periods of not being terribly interested in the sports history and whether or not they felt guilty about it? I'm quite a strange lad, granted, but there are times when I'll watch 10-15 fights a day, and sought out as much old footage as possible, whereas there are other times when I'm only really keeping up with active fighters, and turn my attention to film and music instead.

    Are you 100% in love with the sports history all of the time, or does it sometimes have to be reignited by a great fight or fighter?

    Perhaps, but I can't help feel a little guilty if I've not been completely up to speed with Boxing for weeks or even months. I find it difficult to juggle multiple interests, it's either all the way or not at all it seems.

    That's how I feel about it, right or wrong.

    Why bother? It´s about you beeing happy. If you are , at times, more happy spending your time with music or film instead of boxing, so be it.

    I'm wondering if it's normal to never to be passionate about something for a sustained period of time. It's why College pretty much failed, I would do very well on assignments at the beginning of the year because I'd be passionate about what I'm doing, but things would fall by the wayside a few months in. It's the same with all of my interests, and I was wondering if other posters here fall in and out of love with Boxing history as I do, or whether it's always there for them.

    Just curious, I guess.

    Everybody´s passions vary. It´s perfectly normal. But it´s not very important when it comes to hobbys, ´cause, well, they´re just hobbys. However, when it comes to college it´s not about passion, Addie. It´s about self-discipline. Quitting college because you aren´t passionate about it the whole f*cking time? Are you nuts? Nobody is. You simply can´t. You´ve got to kick yourself in the arse to finish it. College is not about passion, it´s an endurance contest.

    I don´t think this would solve his problem at all. He should look for Gary Glitter instead.
