Oh...and it's haunting me.
Yup, that's right. The sport of polo is following me wherever I go. I thought it was just a TV thing. You know how television works, one person has a good idea and other people think it's awesome and the next thing you know every show has a character with a brain tumor. Half a dozen shows I watch have mentioned, shown or been focused around polo this season like it's the most common sport in the world. (disclaimer: I don't think its all that common but my knowledge of sports is small). But it turns out it's not just TV with the horsey-sport obsession.
Two movies I've watched in the past week have had passing mentions of polo, neither of them particularly large mentions...but they were there. Later I was reading a book about Nazi gold and all of a sudden the characters were at a polo match. I escaped to the internet only to find polo on my tumblr dash and in my reddit feed.
I have a couple of theories as to what is happening.
a.) God is obviously trying to get my attention with this whole polo thing. Maybe the odd trivia of knowing the rules of polo will solve a dispute. Maybe I'm about to get trampled by a horse. Maybe I need to buy more polo shirts?
b.) Polo has always been prevalent but due to a horse-related incident as a child I have had some sort of mental block. I've been walking past polo matches for years but instead of yuppies on horses I've just been seeing...I don't know...prairie dogs or something. Due to maturity and personal growth, I've started to overcome my mental polo block and have been able to see the world around me as it has always been...full of polo.
c.) Aliens.
(okay, that last answer may be a little vague but I think it has merit. If aliens had abducted me and recreated an artificial environment for me, it only stands to reason that there would be abnormalities. Glitches in the matrix. Why couldn't one of those glitches be the over abundance of polo?)
So...has anyone else noticed this? Is polo haunting more than just me?
