Ground Hog Day
P. Phil saw his shadow. More winter. For animals it means getting leaner. Not me. I will eat and drink and grow rotund. And like the movie, one day will seem so much like another. . . but I won't get it right. I will go to work on this gray, damp day and take the daily beating. How long, oh lord, how long.
On another note, I watched the Super Bowl last night. It was the first game I have watched all year. It was a good game, all and all, but I was surprised by how grim it all is. There seemed little joy in any of it, only disappointment and relief.
But maybe that is me.

I haven't watched many games, either & I wasn't interested in the Super Bowl, but I watched the second half.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad game, but I couldn't get into it either. No idea why!
Fitzgerald is joyful to watch, so is Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu. It's their job eh? Probably sometimes those guys think:

I wish I could see the basket or pack the Little Warrior is holding onto a bit better . I love the ink on his baby skin. He's edible.
or at least biteable.
make more.
p.s. i love football. i think it is you. :P
I couldn't bear to watch the game...but then I avoid football as much as I can.
ReplyDeleteOne of your transfers I'm assuming...beautiful work!
As I said, the game just looked joyless to me, grim. It seemed the culmination our economic system. There was a lot of money on the table. Interviews with players and coaches all seemed bathed in a hostility born of fear and anger. I guess with players amped up on steroids and meth, though, what else can you expect.
ReplyDeleteFitzgerald--is he the Irish player?
The image is a Polaroid voodoo thing I have worked out. Sort of. I am having trouble reproducing the look I had before. But at least I am working at it again.
Peace and love.
