Raiders fans are their own cult. It was with a mamma bear's righteous anger that I read the first part of your story. I dont k ow what I would have done with men behaving like that. How shameful! I just can't.
I. Glad it turned around with your getting the greetings and love from the team. That is pretty awesome. The NFL has fallen pretty far toe because of their caving to wokeness over the last few years, but even before that I like watching college ball. Since I grew up in the south, I am a Razorback fan through and through. It is just a different culture down there.
I wonder how your mom would describe that say looking back- from her perspective.
I don't know how many UCLA games I've been to. My buddy has season tickets so I'd catch a couple a year but it was always developing too quickly. Players in and out so fast, I enjoyed it but not as much as NFL.
I only wish I stopped devoting attention to it earlier. Life has time to keep up with me when I'm not pretending the league cares if I watch or not. And the craziest part, get this.. Whether I watch or not they still play and one team either wins or loses. 🤷🏼
Always a pleasure hearing from you. Got anything special you're aiming at this weekend? =}
Funny when something that you are so invested in can go on without you.
I feel like I remember a taste of that when my father passed and the world kept spinning, the mail was still delivered, and the milk still needed to be replaced. It was eerie, and also like a lightbulb went off. It happens to people every day. That is morbid compared to football, but that is when I remember the feeling strongest.
I am hoping yo jist relax this weekend. The last two weeks have been busy. There is finally nothing on my schedule for 2 days in a row and I hope to just enjoy it.
Chilling. I use the mailman reference regularly. Eh, when my mom died I didn't think there was anything stronger than a mother/son bond. Then I met Pura.
She's done what you've done. I was mistaken. Father/daughter bonds are just as gangster. And know what? The mailman never missed a beat.
Here's the kicker: My father and I had a complicated relationship, but he was still my father. I think it was a combination of things that rocked me. Being old enough to have a parent die was one aspect. Because of the difficult relationship, I was shocked at the amount of grief I experienced. It was uncanny though, how I felt my world pause, and the news still reported on how everyone else was still living.
It gave an appreciation for other people's pains and problems. Things that aren't impactful to us are no less important to the people they are happening to. Everyday, traumatic things happen to people. Their world's stop. The rest of us live on as if nothing was different. The whole thing gives me pause. It helps me to have more grace toward others because we truly have no idea what is going on behind the scenes.
So I went and checked you out real good just now. I'm glad you don't do a lot of reblogs cuz you said that so well I should keep an eye on you.
Initial screening was successful? On to Phase 2: Retention.
That's funny. Onto phase 3.
Phase 2 was funny.
Yay! 🤗
