America. Land of the free, home of the brave. America is defined by a high school prom, a spingsteen song, a ride in a Chevrolet, the man on the moon, fireflies in June, kids selling lemonade. It's cities and farms, open arms, and one nation under God. That's America.
Now before you start thinking that this is going to be a tear-jerking patriotic post about the good old United States of America, let me just say one other thing that defines America.
Football.
More specifically, the Super Bowl.
Or Harbowl.
I like to call it the Horribowl.

Somebody please explain to me what the big deal is about the last game of football season. Oh wow, it's Ray Lewis's last game! Oh wow, there was a blackout! Oh wow, the entire country is going to be vandalized in black and purple for a whole entire year because WE ARE A RAVENS NATION AND ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS!
Yeah. For a whole twelve months.
Good for you.
Doesn't it seem that every year major drama happens during the Super Bowl?
Really, people. The lights went out. Your worlds are not to collapse into shambles around you simply because you cannot see a few dozen grown men running around with a pigskin tackling each other. Calm down. It's only Bad Luck Brian.
To be honest, people only really go to Super Bowl parties to dress up, jump around screaming like banshees, post every single play to Facebook a dozen times over, and other senseless things. I go for the food.
So, if you were still wondering about my views on this year's Super Bowl, it can be summed up in this amazingly accurate meme of the grumpy cat, who, by the way, liked my photo on Instagram himself.
Happy Super Bowl, everybody.
Go Steelers.

You dont even like the Steelers. Thats the sad part of this whole blog.
ReplyDeleteFamily obligations, Jimmy. Calm down.
ReplyDeleteI go for the spirit of the whole night. A country coming together for a long awaited night. I really really really enjoy the food. that is honestly the main reason i go when my team is not up.
ReplyDeleteI honestly believe that it has become a major idol of our nation. We rarely see people this excited to tell someone about Jesus. We instead find ways around it, and I am not saying I am not guilty. I could care less about football anyway. I agree with you Madeline.
ReplyDeleteMadeline I completely agree with you I only go for the food and to watch the commercials occasionly.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the difference between watching the Super Bowl, and watching the season finale of American Idol? They both have people who get paid way to much to do things on live television. At least football is exciting.
