Football is Overseasoned

 The Eagles won the Super Bowl. The Big Game. Someone told me it's illegal to call it The Super Bowl. Someone told me the Chiefs were using magic, but they lost. Someone told me the crowds in Philadelphia would kill each other when the Eagles won. Someone told me that a dancer for Kendrick Lamar's halftime show was arrested for being a pro Palestine activist. I barely watched the game. I'm glad the Chiefs lost. I'm glad the Groundhog, whichever one you might reference, predicted six more weeks. Casual obsolescence.

There is now a part of the brain that knows what it has seen, and has placed all senses and systems to the...

That's a sad thing to admit and I don't know if I could ever tell that to another person face to face. It makes me feel like a villain in the making. Like a person who's lost their soul. It feels so wrong, and yet all the more appropriate when I look at that reaction as being itself instilled by my mother brought me up, to believe that she could do no wrong and that I should always respect her and her opinion no matter what. To me that doesn't make any sense at all. I have my own son who is an adult now and I would never in a million years treat him the way I have been treated, I'd never...
