Sasuke Hipsters vs the world

After staying up all night to watch the Oscars (terrible idea, don't do it), we're now watching the American Ninja Warrior USA vs the world special before we get to go to bed again (I mean, we have slept, some five hours after the Oscars ended at 6 in the morning here, but we have been more or less dead all day).

Not a good idea. We're obviously only in it for team Japan and they're not doing very well. In our tired state we're reacting worse than Asa whenever our faves fail. And saying not so nice things when the Americans succeed (which we won't repeat here: this is a hate-free blog).

Hmpf. This is why having it as a competition rather than a challenge is a bad idea. 

When watching Sasuke you can cheer anyone on because their success will not affect yours (or, if you're watching rather than competing, your faves) at all, and that's the beauty of it. You never have to wish for someone to fail so that someone else can succeed, but watching this it's hard not to, and that bothers me even more than the failures of team Japan.

Deep thoughts from a tired mind.

Oh, and when Team Sweden eventually is formed and I get to be on it, I'll be known as the #sasukehipster. You know were you heard it first. ;)
