What a superbowl party is really like

on
This is what real life Superbowl party hosting is like. Tay Tay banter included..  First you prep for the big event by spending hundreds of dollars on food that only half will be eaten. You know this going in yet still tell yourself that the more food the better. This is for 20 people Just prior to the Kickoff , words of Taylor Swift already begin. Kids continue to ask if Taylor will be performing.  Some of the adults will be yelling because they lost the “will she show up for the Superbowl or not” bet. Kickoff starts and you realize that someone named blah blah has already won the Bonus 0-0 payout in your Superbowl box pool that you dropped a hundred on. You say hmmmm and already start having conspiracy theories as its someone who is related to the person running the pool.  End of the 1 st draws near . Its only been an hour since the company has arrived and already the food that was beautifully prepared...

Face masks are great face warmers and booger collectors!

Its 248 days since the first news of quarantining and life restrictions has started and the New World laws were written. We have been tracking and noting each day, kinda like an Advent calendar for each day we survive COVID. Each day we get a treat - Kids get cookies and Adults get an alcoholic beverage. We dont have that but dam thats a great concept that I need to trademark: COVID Calendar. 



We have finally given in to the fact that this virus is going nowhere anytime soon. Sure, there is a vaccine supposedly coming early next year (I guess that depends on who you believe). But in order for this vaccine to officially work through the masses, thats gonna take some time; probably another year or 2 at best! 


This means we are stuck with face masks. Our family took a little bit to get into this face mask trend. This is simply because we didn’t leave the house and treated other life forms as if they were Zombies 🧟‍♂️ and were coming to eat us.  It was like we graduated COVID high school when we went into our first store as a family. We all quarantined for 2 weeks thinking that Target is just another fancy name for Zombie target infections. Luckily nothing happened. Then we did our first restaurant - outside of course - and it was like OMG i feel a sniffle coming. But that also passed and we graduated COVID college. 



Now here we are, 248 days in and wearing our masks all over with big fat smiles on our face that nobody can see. My bandana phase is over, as is my beard which nobody liked but me,  and I have now a huge collection of face masks that I sport on a daily basis.



Some benefits of wearing the mask besides turning into a Zombie is:

  • Its a great face warmer!  If I were to rock some Arctic face mask to keep my face warm people would look at me as if I’m from, well the Arctics. But with Covid, its accepted and it keeps your face nice and warm. 
  • It catches boogers!  Boogers love to run out of our noses during the cold weather. Who wants to be that guy carrying a disease infested handkerchief (what is this 1948). With Covid, you can keep your nose clean without anyone seeing. Thanks face masks! 
  • It tells you if your breathe smells bad or not! Pre-COVID, one would have to rely on assumption for smelly breathe. Well not anymore! Thanks to face masks we can prepare ourselves for that just-in-case-special-no-face-mask with some mints and Extra gum.
  • Its cool!  Remember those goofy Q-tip looking Apple AirPods that everyone made fun of when they first came out. Well now look around. Everyone has them. And those that dont are dweebs. The same now applies with the face mask. I remember my virgin Target experience and seeing the entire store with masks and gasped.  WTF is this!?  This is straight up Outbreak. But now its sooo cool and normal to rock a face mask.
  • Its sylish!  As face masks become the new norm, why not rock them with style. I have a few Bonobos face masks in different designs and colors and couldn’t be happier. I replaced my fancy dress shirts and pants with sweatpants and hoodies. But to complete the look i got my cool stylish face mask!  Maybe an embroidered mask is next.

I cant wait for the HazMat suits to become the norm. I would totally rock a single breasted low lapel HazMat suit in royal blue or dark navy and dark pin stripes. A nice face mask as my pocket square. Boom.
