Tonight i went to watch my brother's football game. I feel like this will probably go down in my mind as one of those really memorable family outings, where no one is fighting and everyone's having a good time together.
On the way there Gabe told me that they usually take people from the stands to "hold the flags". What this meant exactly, i didn't know, but it sounded like fun so when we got to the field i went to ask the guy in charge if i could "hold the flag" (believe it or not this did not sound as stupid in my head as it probably does to you reading it). The guy looked at me confused and then this other guy turns around saying "i think she means the chains". That's when i recognized him. Turns out i went out with this guy a year ago. My brothers laughed at me afterward, saying that i really need to stop going out so much. Anyway, back to the story, he recognizes me, laughs at my lack of sports knowledge, then lets me be part of the game. It was an amazing experience being out there on the field (save for my ex calling out to me from the announcer's hut telling me what to do). It almost made me want to take up sports. Almost. My brother joked that i got more action that game than he did. In the end my brother's team won 36-6.
Now before i leave off for the night, i just want to mention my new obsession over Stromae, a Belgian music artist who is just brilliant in my opinion. Watch this music video- I love the meaning.
