Guyafication#1

    OK so most of you who know me, know Im not what most people would consider one of the guys. Never have been, felt like I didn't fit in. But I have been rethinking that lately. I have felt that I have been missing out on what could actually be a lot fun. They seem to have so much fun. So I have been attempting to be one of the guys, a bro. This is new territory for me as it means getting to like sports. I never understood it. But last week I sat back, put my feet up, cracked open a beer and watched a football game. It was actually a lot of fun.( I wish I had thought to get someone to watch it with but hey thems the brakes.) Once I got into it and let go of my own personal reasons for not liking sports I rather enjoyed myself.
     So I sought the advice of a sports sensei....no that doesn't work, um........sports mentor....no. Let me see Spensei......Spentor. No what do you call a bro who is acting as the Yoda to your Luke......Duh! Broda. So I was asking my Broda about being a sports fan. He suggested that I find a team and become emotionally invested in them. Then follow them and connect with the game that way. Emotionally invested? OK I can do emotional. So I went with my Dad and brothers team The New England Patriots ( My other brother is a Bills fan and even I know how disappointing that can be.) They were just in the game I had watched, I watched them in the Super Bowl last year and had fun so I went with it.

     OK so I have a team, now what. I set about learning the game of football. (By the grace of Gronk there is a For Dummies book for that. I am still studying the book so I wont go into detail and pretend I know about something I don't  But I will say there is more to it than I thought. ) What I have leaned is that being one of the guys is a lot about simple comradery. You sit with some buds, drinks some beers maybe eat some greasy food and yell at the screen. In between plays you chat and bullshit. I can do this, and its kinda fun. Im looking forward to the Super Bowl. Hey maybe I can even cater a Superbowl Party..... Hmmm. I will keep you abreast as to my progress in Guyafication. Wish me luck.....Brah.
