My apologies to Eminem, but I haven't written on this blog for four and a half years. That is a serious case of writer's block: #EmptyVoid. So I stole from another artist to get things flowing: #Enema. Plus, life in the 21st Century is busy. There is Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Living Social, Groupon, Amazon, TMZ and a bunch of other sites that today's youth hope that an old man like me will never figure out and ruin: #TechZombies. Plus, I have to work, finish another degree, pay bills, do chores, spend time with my girlfriend, spend time with family, eat right, go to the gym, do charity, along with eating and sleeping: #NoTime. In short, life has been busy! Don't even get me started about the time that it takes to come up with creative hash tags: #Ridiculous!
Now it's Super Bowl Sunday, and the one thing that allowed me to escape life is gone. Sports! It looks like sports, sounds like sports, and if you walk into a locker room, I'm sure that is smells like sports. Must be sports, right? Not exactly. Let's take a closer look at "The Road to the Super Bowl:" #StupidCliche. We have domestic violence, concussions, Flag-Gate, through the process of the catch, deflate-gate, Legion of Boom, Beast Mode, NFL Awards Show, 16 hours of Pre-Game, a red carpet event to deal with all before a 4.5 hour game that should only last 3.25 hours. You Mad Bro?!: #YES!!! Plus I'm unsure now, is Tom Brady a quarterback, or a model? Either way, is Tom Brady or is Katy Perry the quarterback of the Patriots?: #GenderConfusion. Disney bought ESPN, ESPN moved to Hollywood, and the result is that sports are gone forever and are replaced by Hollywood gossip: #PourMeADrink.
Ultimately all of the things that were designed to help us relax, are causing more stress: #Crazy. Not to mention the fact that the healthier that Americans eat, the fatter we get: #Glutenfree. So in order to help restore some semblance of sanity into our insane lives, At The Corner will move beyond Detroit area sports and tackle all of life's issue: through my slightly disturbed mind. Mainly because people need to relax, and because my hyper-tension medication is getting expensive. Therefore instead of finding a new outlet (Sorry again Eminem), I am going back to an old outlet. My first goal, is to avoid having to find time and money to go to a Mental Health Professional. I also hope to help lighten your day and bring a smile to your face. Surely, I can't be the only one who has these specific life frustrations. " No! And don't call me Shirley." Like Bugs Bunny said, "Don't take life too seriously. You'll never make it out alive!" ~ Thank you Mel Blanc.
Relax, pour yourself a cup of coffee, tea, glass of wine, beer, whiskey (#Its5OclockSomewhere), and come to the corner for a little stress relief. Consider it your virtual water cooler. I will be here to make sense of this ridiculousness that we call modern life. Notice that this first come back post really has no point. Like most of what we find on the internet; THAT'S THE POINT!
