I'm sorry. I love football.
First and foremost, I'm going to blog more this year. Not only do i often find myself with shit to say that does not fit into Twitter's character crunch, but i also have a TON of old notes, writings, diaries, photos, etc that i need to document/archive somehow. This seems as good a way as any. That way, folks can enjoy or hate the trip down memory lane with me... Either way, getting memories down on "paper" is the goal here. This is stuff I do not want to forget.
Secondly, I'm sorry. I love football. I feel like I need to keep this obsession under wraps because there are just so many gosh darn haters out there. When folks post about how they wish football was over, I take it personally. I can't help it. The one thing we ALL have going for us, haters or not, is that football has a very short season. 16 weeks plus playoffs and Super Bowl. From September to early February. And games are played on the weekends, primarily Sunday. Can't you all just handle it for one day a week? Hahaha. I don't go apeshit when people tweet incessantly about hockey, american idol, basketball, foursquare, etc... so why am i so wary about posting about football? Ah well.
My dad played football for Michigan State. I cannot find any online evidence of this, nor have I tried too hard. You see, he's Bob Nanna as well and I can't seem to wade far enough past the junk that our name has accumulated. I don't think he was very good but the fact is - every single Sunday, we ordered pizza from Salerno's (a hike from our house), drank root beer, and watched football. There is even a "famous" picture of me as a bald <1 year old holding a football that my mom likes to parade around the house when company is over. (I couldn't find this online - but i did find this gem.)
Anyway, the season ends tonight, so we can all get on with our happy lives and frolic carefree until September. I hear there is a probable football lockout for 2011 - aka NO football. I don't even want to think about it...
I'm at Threadless right now. I set up the chili cook off stations and now i'm just wasting time till the game starts. I'm wearing black and gold.
