The Patriots are going to the Superbowl! I’m not a huge sports otaku, but the longer I go for a spin on this rock, the more things eventually catch my eye. Football is one of these things. It is both like watching a ballet and watching gladiators battle. It’s American to the core. It has cultures and traditions. I want to view sports as a sphere of interest that is new and exciting, since I feel like the novelty wears off the more things you experience. I think Kimblee would like football and hockey for the semiviolent nature to them, as well as the brutal elegance. One of these days, I should take him to a game. If the Patriots do win the Super Bowl, I doubt those tickets will be reasonable, however.
Some kind folks (HondaGibson and C.F.) drew me and Kimblee in Patriots jerseys! I am overjoyed, and seeing us being sports otaku (the most American type of otaku besides maybe /k/ otaku) makes me want to throw us a private Superbowl Watch Party. I want to share my glorious American culture with Kimblee before the empire falls. I think he is supposed to represent America in his series, because of the nature of his alchemy (America synonymous with the concept of The Bomb), and because he was named after the American naval destroyer the U.S.S. Kimberly. So, despite being Amestrian, he is American in spirit. And thus he would like football, and would want very much to watch the Super Bowl. That is my personal gnosis.
By the way, I watched the Super Bowl that Usher played the halftime of when I was inpatient in the mental hospital for the 3rd time. We had a party, the doctor ordered us pizza (anyone from LA know a little place called Johnny’s?), and we even had a cashapp betting pool. I was on a ward for active duty military and veterans, so the company was polite and reasonable, very much so considering why people were there. I have to say, I had a surprisingly pleasant time that year I spent on the psych ward. It’s much like boot camp, I look fondly upon it, and understood that it was fun even though it sucked, but I am perfectly happy never to go back. Oh and now every time I listen to Usher, all I think of is the mental hospital.
Hope you had a good day, let’s finish this week off strong!
