First of all:
Dear Philadelphia,
I'm sorry that I was right. Again. You need to understand that my constant and stubborn insistence that the Eagles will never win a Superbowl is not based on hostility. It's just apathy and detachment. Every year, you all say "IT'S OUR YEAR!" and every year I maintain that it's not. Every year, I say "The Eagles will not go to the Superbowl, and if they do, they will lose." Every year, I am right. It has nothing to do with whether they deserve to win or not, or how good the team is, or strategy or anything--I'm certainly not qualified to make that kind of prediction. I just learned last night what "first and 10" means. No, my "predictions" are based on nothing more than the fact that THIS IS JUST HOW IT GOES.
On the other hand, thank you for proving me wrong. The city was not burned down overnight. I'm happy about that.
Got that out of my system. This weekend really drained me. I was up at seven on Saturday, did VITA training until three, went right to work after that and then came home, read Con Law, and bored myself to sleep around midnight. Up early again yesterday, did breakfast with my mom and Randy, and then went suit shopping in King of Prussia. Back to Jersey, off to Starbucks where I guzzled two Venti iced coffees while doing my ConLaw and Property reading...and then work. For the longest shift of my life.
Seriously. I thought that game was NEVER going to end.
And then right afterwards, at like 10:30, they very clearly said "The Simpsons is coming up in less than ten minutes!" An hour later, it finally came on. WTF, football? I don't get it.
Suit shopping was a success. For less than $330, I got a black suit with subtle hot pink pinstripes (I promise that's not a contradiction) and two Oxford shirts. How will anyone be able to resist hiring me? I look successful and stunning. Now I just need to get interviews...pfft. Details.
