I watched the super bowl today. I was pretty hyped for this game especially since I am a Patriots fan (during the playoffs anyways) and I had no doubts they would come out victorious. I was supposed to be working on assignments but I managed to “sneak in” and watch most of the game during my “study breaks.” Unfortunately, the Pats lost. And as a result, I’ve come to the sad realization that I’ve lost two hours of my life watching a game that is now fruitless to me. I’ve gained nothing from it. I cannot brag tomorrow to my friends. The fact is I don’t even want to talk about the game. And I can’t talk about the commercials either (even though they suck since we get the Canadian version of the feed) because during commercials I put my head down to read my Computer Networks book. What an uneventful night. Next time I watch a sporting event, I need to ask myself, “What’s in it for me?” The answer is obviously nada. I am not a true Patriots fan. I know two players on the team: Moss and Brady. Frig, I think I can name two players on the Giants: Manning and Burress. There! I am a Giants fan. Go Giants. Yeah.

Now I can go on with my life knowing that I did not waste two hours. What a great feeling. Networks, here I come.

Disclaimer. I googled Burress’ name.
