Well… when I originally planned to write this post I was going to spout on about how awesome life is at the moment. Going away next week, drinking with my friend brendan yesterday for the superbowl and how awesome it was for the Patriots to get a perfect season. Well that life following the motto “laissez les bons temps rouler (French Cajun for Let the Good Times Roll)” went down the toilet yesterday.
I still have all the good stuff in my life, but the patriots got ROBBED! F#%king robbed! I am sure you would have seen it as it has been all over the news but the Giants scored a touchdown in the last 30 seconds of the game to clinch the title. Proving that in American Football. 2 mins is an eternity and definately time enough to score. But i was devestated and I felt as heart broken as Patriot fans everywhere. Watching our beloved team lose the Superbowl and be denied that perfect season. They would of gone down in history as the first team to ever go unbeaten for the 19 game season (Miami Dolphins of 1972 were unbeaten but only played 17 games).
So yes I did drown my sorrows full of beer, and it felt good to be happy. But still it is a very heart braking moment. It also seems that everyone i know is a Giants fan because I have not heard the end of it today. Geez talk about hatred towards someone they don’t even follow!!! I am getting people telling me sucked in and they don’t even follow the sport so all I can say to that is STFU.
By the way for anyone who wants to know what the whole “laissez les bons temps rouler” stuff is. When I was in Memphis last year, Adrian and I along with Maryanna, Michelle and Lisa all were drinking at the bar at the Hard Rock Hotel. We met a barman named Cajun (New Orleans native) and he pretty much gave me a very memorable night by teaching us that saying and also giving us heaps of free drinks. So to Cajun I dunno if you will ever read this but thanks buddy! I will try and live my life by the guide you gave.
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!
