I’ve been casually keeping abreast of what’s going on in sports recently. For most of my life, I wasn’t interested in sports at all— if anything I sort of looked down my nose at sports & sports fans. I saw it all as bread & circus for the proles. I was a fool, I see that now. I enjoy watching sports & thinking about sports now. One of the best parts of being on the level wrt to what’s going on sportswise is talking about sports with anyone. Anyone! It’s like learning a new language. 5 beers deep with your buddies, shooting the shit with your coworkers, small talk with total strangers. It’s great. It’s the ultimate conversation topic. You can go anywhere with it. You can bullshit. You really just need to know a little bit, not that much. I am a prole, I am a normie, I am a Roman peasant phillistine but man this bread tastes great, man am I having a blast at the circus

I grew up playing soccer and was probably the worst and least motivated kid on the team. Having jerk teammates and coaches really soured the whole of sports for me, and I never really picked them up again as a viewer or player until a few years ago. Some good friends roped me into joining a fantasy football league, and I won the whole enchilada in my first year! After kind of paying attention for a season, you start to recognize players and learn about teams' reputations. Soon enough, you're rooting for your favorite team and players!

It took me over two decades but I've realized I like sports. It's like reality tv. It's unpredictable. You get to root for little storylines. It's never that dire or that boring. And you don't have to stare at your TV for hours figuring out what you want to watch.

super bowl is this weekend and i’m outing myself as a football fan. but fr shouting go sportsball past the age of 15 is super lame and you should totally get invested in sports and more specifically the nfl. mostly bc american football is such a stupid sport and the rules make no sense but you prob already know a little (like what a touchdown is) and the rest is sorta just arbitrary. i’ve been following the nfl since i was like 8 or 9 bc that’s how me and my dad bonded and it’s really a saving grace in any conversation with a man. idk how to explain it but american football strikes the most perfect balance of interesting game and good bonding experience with fans…the european mind cannot even begin to grasp. heavily heavily recommend.

This is a confession post, not a recommendation, not even much of an anti-recommendation. Tbh it reads like a humilation ritual. Honestly just keep scrolling; it's not worth reading. I'm just posting it because I think I had a point when I first started writing this, one which I lost pretty wuickly. But I spent a good couple of minutes typing this all out, so I'll post it anyway. Thank God I'm anon. If you do read it, please forgive me. My friend Tyler brought a joint to the super bowl party last night. He handed it to me & told me about how it had weed diamonds in it while I smoked, he told me that it was some good shit and that I wouldn't have to smoke so much of it since I've got such a low tolerance & all, but I could also smoke as much as I liked, seeing as he had a bunch more & that it was the super bowl & we had a bunch of wings on the way anyway, so might as well smoke some more weed so you know what? yeah, i smoked some more weed since what's the harm anyway it's just weed after all. I've been a mess all day. I've been slow & stupid & disgustingly horny since I woke up this morning; but really honestly since I smoked the weed. If you're one of those types that "actually becomes more functional when you're smoking weed" & that I should "just let people enjoy things" I don't know what to say to you. I'm going to be weird for 4 weeks now and it's all my fault. This happens every time. Even when it doesn't turn me into a non-verbal paranoiac nutcase, even when it's enjoyable to me in that moment-- I become something lower than a beast. I stand over the platter of chicken wings & gorge until I am sick and then I gorge even more. My stomach becomes distended & my face and fingers are covered in thai curry buffalo chicken fat goo. I waddle around & fart & I find this very funny. I confuse the sound of my own voice with that of my younger sisters & this is incredibly disqueting to me. Do I really sound like that? I become a big confused overgrown fat baby. I'm going to be be weird for four weeks now. Slow. I was supposed to meet up with my friends to watch Luka's debut for the Lakers. I'm stitting at my desk typing this up; procrastinating going to the gym (which I can NOT neglect [especially after my evening of spiritual obesity]) & the game starts in 5 minutes. Stupid. Typing out this confession right now is painfully difficult. Every word that I type has the appearance of a whitehead that can't be popped to me. This textbox full of blemishes so infuriatingly, stubbornly, immutably DISGUSTING. I feel sick just reading back what I'm writing here. Once again, if you've made it this far, forgive me. This is a confession, not a recommendation. Disgustingly horny. This one I won't elaborate on. Forgive me. It's not because I smoked weed. The smoking of the weed was just the first movement in a sequence that had already begun before I'd even accepted the joint from Tyler. My own spiritual weakness is the mantle upon which all of these failings hang. I'm not this way because I smoked weed, I'm this way because I'm the type of guy that smokes weed even though I know what it will do to me. There are 999,999,999 other weeds in my life that I am all too willing to permit myself. I haven't eaten anything but bread & butter all day. The lakers game is starting soon. Off to the gym I go.
