I was thinking about getting some old-school sports franchise apparel since there’s probably some sales. I ultimately decided to resist because I have no idea how much stuff I actually have. I need to figure that out still. I’m just doing a little bit at a time here and there. I should be doing more, but it’s certainly better than doing absolutely nothing. I’m not entirely sure when I need to gather all of my belongings for real, but I am trying to prepare a little bit. I’m not really in the mood to though. I could probably handle getting a few new shirts or something, but I really don’t actually need them. I was thinking about getting non-sports franchise-related hats or a better jacket, but realistically, I probably could look through what I have and feel like I have everything I need. Maybe I should go to a discount store and look for a coat regardless. It’s kinda crazy how much money they can cost. I think the profit margins are probably insane, but maybe I’m wrong. I doubt I am. 

So anyways! Speaking of sports (well, going back to), I’ve had something written about the Giants (football) for a few weeks. I am watching them right now and they’re just so bad. I am trying not to be sad about something in the past, but I can’t help it. What could that be that I’m upset about that belongs in this paragraph? Well, I’m only a little upset because I’m kinda crazy, but it’s that I wasn’t able to watch them a few weeks ago when they played and defeated the Philadelphia Eagles on a Thursday night. They are getting absolutely fucking walloped tonight. I can’t believe I’m using my precious time to witness this madness. Oh well. Trying to be grateful for this opportunity to watch them… anyways, here’s what I said when the head coach was fired…

I’m upset about the head coach of my favorite football team getting fired, not because I really love him as a head coach, though. I guess sometimes you need to be good at what you’re supposed to do, not just random things at random times. I think the team’s general manager may deserve to be canned as well. 

Sometimes you forecast things going a certain way or a number of different possibilities. 

That’s it. That’s all I said. That last sentence… could probably go somewhere with that even though I obviously haven’t up to this point. I think where I was trying to go with that is something along the lines of you can hope for one outcome, prepare for different ones, and still be blindsided by what ends up happening. I guess it is best to be well-prepared, but make sure you don’t allow that preparation to fool you into thinking you know everything or are prepared for anything. Like I’m sorry, but it’s impossible to be well-prepared for anything situation. Like, what if the aliens come during a game, what do you do then if you are a coach? I think that’s more of a question for the officials, but you know what I mean. Maybe. 

Life is so unpredictable. Like omg guys, the Giants just scored a touchdown. Maybe all hope isn’t lost. But actually, I lied. I have seen things in this game I have never seen before. We have no hope. This paragraph was written over the course of like an hour or so. Trying to get things done is so hard. Sometimes it’s hard to just do what you want to do because you’re so exhausted from doing what you have to do. I am not sure if I have to watch the Giants, but it feels like it in my soul. So that’s what I will spend the rest of my night (or at least the next hour and a half) doing. I hope you’re all having a good time.

    Yeah, that game was difficult to watch. Your picture of that ‘almost kick’ kinda sums up the team at this point. The helmet to helmet hit on that punt return was brutal.
