Wow, that was a very unexciting game. I am glad the Chiefs put something on the board but it felt uneventful and just demoralizing...really. The whole game.
That is how it felt yesterday, like I was in a stuper which felt somewhat contagious from the Chief’s performance. I felt like I was watching a pro team compete with a high school team. It was sad and heartbreaking to watch.
I really didn’t care who won. I had no skin in that particular game. But I was kind of rooting for the Chiefs because it would be nice to see someone do it three times in a row. But alas, not in the cards.
The final score reflected the Eagles domination the entire game. The fact the Chiefs got lucky and put up a few points was encouraging but we all knew it was way too late. I almost found myself wishing they would go scoreless just to make the Eagles win sweeter. I know, likely an unpopular opinion.
As usual, I ate way too much and stayed up too late. But am grateful I do not have a hangover today. I am also sending out prayers to all the domestic violence shelters...today is historically their busiest day of the year. Which is sad on so many different levels.
And it appears the stupor shall continue today as I am tired and not feeling great after all the crap I ate yesterday. I wonder to myself, “does anyone wake up feeling good after the Super Bowl, ever?” Well, besides the winning team and their fans. I am sure they are in a stupor of good feelings and vibes.
I am writing about the game because I honestly couldn’t think of anything else to write about today. I know, lame. I am having trouble lately coming up with topics that resonate and make me feel like I am pushing hard enough. Writing practice is kind of like football in that way, some days you feel amazing and have an amazing output. And then there are other days where your performance lacks lustre. This would be one of those days!
Honestly, I contemplated skipping the whole endeavor today. But seeing as though my day was completely capsized yesterday and I didn’t write, this is what you get today...sorry.
Hemingway said, “you can’t edit a blank page.” And I am going with that for today’s subject and material. It isn’t good and likely will never be edited, but at least there are words on the page. I met my commitment to myself and that matters almost more than what appears on this screen. I can always edit and make this piece better later on. Well, at least that is what I tell myself.
Or maybe I can’t, maybe, like the Chiefs, I just need to know when I do not have it in me and just call it. Thank God there is no Super Bowl or Stupor Bowl for writing. I would decidedly be the Chiefs this morning. But unlike them, my stupor will pass as soon as I make it through the day and into bed early. Tomorrow will be a new day for us all. A day to learn the hard lessons that come our way and move forward with new knowledge and information to share. Some days, you just have to take the loss and move on.
I guess the idea that whomever puts points on the board first, usually wins, still tracks. Guess that means I have to give myself credit for this incredibly boring post today. It is still points on the board.
Again...still.
