and the streets will be awash with blood

it is the end times. they are upon us.
I woke up this morning, rushed downstairs, and discovered that the only television station that I wasn’t getting was Fox. channel nine.
the one showing the NFC championship game. so I went to the local sports bar. didn’t have it either. no one in the Imperial Valley – that would be between the mountains and Yuma – was getting it.
well fuck it. gotta go to Mexico.
ended up watching it on Mexican feed in a bar in the border town. everything was in spanish. the Bears are apparently called “Osos de Chicago.” awesome.
and afterward, Peyton Manning didn’t shit the bed. that was an entertaining god damned game he put on there.
so.
Chicago vs. communist ankle biters. two weeks.
I don’t dislike the Colts, really. but they’re playing the Bears, so to hell with it. temperance be damned.

people will care about this Superbowl, becasue it’s the Superbowl. but it’s not the Chargers vs. the Saints, or New England vs. whoever. it doesn’t have the national appeal. it’s still got Peyton Manning vs. one of the largest fan bases in the NFL, but still. it’s a very regional game now.
I am from that region. I must return.
I’m looking for a plane ticket. I won’t be able to justify it to myself if I don’t. I have to go back. there must be an eclipse. this will never fucking happen again.

Jesus Christ, it’s finally a Superbowl I give a fuck about.
addendum: yes. yes.

    A preview of the Superbowl.

    Pontius is Peyton Manning, Dunn is Urlacher.

    a great piece of news for you:

    two men were rescued from lake michigan last night after they jumped in the water apparently celebrating the bears win.

    it you do come back to the region i suggest the following:

    you come to chicago (meca) and we find a bar to go to early, so that we can get a) blitzed and b) can join the millions in dancing in the street and causing mass fucking chaos throughout the city in drunken revelry.

    you must. it is what you were born to do. you HAVE to come to chicago for this, to witness the end of an age as people turn over cars and set fires to them.
