Who knew going to a football game could be such a roller coaster? Your mom was next level gangster, if anyone wants my opinion. That's a latina level of fearless right there. I never understood that level of fanaticism, here's hoping I never do. I'm not generally an advocate for any kind of open-ended persecution, but I'd probably be okay with it being illegal to be a Raiders fan.

Yeah she was. She was way too young to be entertaining and protecting me but she handled it like a gangster.
I went to quite a few events at quite a few stadiums after that. I was the home team, away team, neutral with no stake, Raider fans are the worst. I'd have to google the year it happened but they were the first stadium in the NFL that stopped selling alcohol after half time.
Well then there's Dodger Stadium... Maybe it's an LA thing.
Cheers dude.
Not just an LA thing, they cut off alcohol early at Buffalo Sabres games too. Maybe that's just a hockey thing. I don't know if they stop serving early at Bills games, but I know a lot of those fans bring their own booze anyway.
I think several NFL stadiums if not all of them cut off alcohol sales now at half time but unless I'm mistaken, Raider stadium was the first.
You're not a sports guy? No time for that eh between stand up encore and homesteading.
I like sports well enough, but I also understand the nefarious motivations running under our 'bread and circuses'. I've never been a super fan of any sport because, well, that stuff is expensive and I had other things to spend money on. I used to watch a lot of college hockey, but as my aversion to crowds has continued to grow over the years, my interest in live competition has waned.
Of course, as an enabler, the temptation to hand my money over to the people that pay all those rageaholic addicts is tempting, but I've mostly been able to resist.
Finally, as I've aged, I've gotten a lot fussier about how I spend my money. If it isn't something that I need to live, or something that can help me earn the money back, I usually won't buy it. Pro sports expenditures don't tick either of those boxes for me.
Seems you're stuck with me this am.
Dude I had to live abroad two years and pay close attention to luggage weight n shit before it clicked. Did you know it's a 6lb difference between domestic and international flights? Here luggage can be 50lbs. Rude fuckin awakening when you gotta cut weight to 44.
Wasn't until we were doing that in 30 day intervals I realized I can only wear one pair of shoes. Then it was jeans, board shorts, damn! I only need one pair of those too. I don't even need more than one hoodie, infuckincredible.
Can never have too many drawls and socks but yeah, my closet now and most likely will always fit in one suitcase. Can't believe I used to believe I need both a dresser and a closet for shit I can't wear at the same time.
Ha, if I had known that I was stuck with you, I would have left the laptop open!
I learned a lot of lessons about living simply the hard way... by the time I was 12, we had moved something like 25 times, spanning 4 school districts between Addison, NY and Kansas City, MO. When you, your mother, possibly her boyfriend, and two little brothers pack everything you own into a station wagon and maybe the smallest U-Haul trailer you can
stealrent, you learn a lot about what you really need to bring with you.Of course, lessons get lost over the years. Now I have a closet full of shit that doesn't even fit me any more, just because it's not a priority to clean it out. I've lived in this house 5 times longer than anyplace else, and it's a fun mix of barn, museum, hardware store, and storage unit.
I didn't have siblings but we had one of those u-haul refrigerator dolly's in the garage, the wide orange ones with the black nylon strap. When I reminisce I have to think of the dirt bike I had at the time and where I was in order to guess the grade because I didn't do two years in a row at the same school til 7th. Whenever I do this I can never recall where I did third grade. Pretty sure I didn't.
Good for you being able to park. Lame you have stuff that doesn't fit but I do lame things too like judge what's in a dudes closet. I envy your ability to park.
I'm probably repeating myself I'm probably repeating myself but all I want is to be somewhere I don't want to leave.
