Super Bowl Me


The Super Bowl is the most American of inventions.

A day of pure indulgence and frivolity. At this point in my life, I have out grown a my youthful passion for sports. Although I still occasionally enjoy playing some of the sports that I once followed, I really am not that into watching sports. ESPN means nothing to me. I would much prefer to spend my time banging on my guitars or cooking. That being said...I, like many other Americans, do enjoy drinking beers with my friends while having no particular goal in mind. Hence, I do enjoy the SUPER BOWL. Yesterday, I spent the morning in the kitchen preparing the most glutenous of foods....baby back ribs....in preparation for the big game. I had only found out days earlier that the Pittsburgh Steelers would be playing the Arizona Cardinals this year. Having had family that lived just outside of Pittsburgh for many years, I was glad to have a team to support for the game (if only marginally). Anyway, a few friends got together and did what every Super Bowl watcher does...eat a shit ton of "bad for you" food and drink beer. Like I said, my contribution was ribs...but we had plenty of other morsels that will clog, bloat, and overload our most precious of organs. I had a great time. My stomach and butt hurt by the end of the game. TOTAL VICTORY!!! Oh, and the game was pretty good too....Congrats STEELERS!
