My father always gave me some great advice about what to do when your team doesn’t make the Superbowl. And since I’m a Green Bay Packers fan and they’re obviously not going to the Superbowl, I’ve decided I’m going to share that advice with you.
And this advice is interchangeable with a fan of football and for those of you who hate it.
The following are things to do instead of watching the Superbowl.
1) It’s a Sunday, go to church. Even I haven’t been to church in 6 years, but I’m considering going just so I don’t have to hear about people going to Superbowl and whatnot. And Atheists, instead of going to church, sacrifice that goat that’s been cooing in your garage for a few weeks now. Or just sleep in.
2) Six Flags! The amusement park is going to be open and running with a guaranteed no people there. Since everyone is watching the Superbowl, they won’t be screaming their gall bladders out, so take advantage of no lines! And if you’re lagging on the finances to make it to the Superbowl, no need to worry. Just hop into a shopping cart and have someone roll you down the bluffs! The same amount of fun with only half the cost.
3) Go to Target. Now, I’m not saying that just because I enjoy Target, but because they have amazing deals on televisions! And window shopping never hurt anyone. In my experience, shopping in a Target without the sound of stampeding of children is always enjoyable, unless that’s your thing, in which case I’m not judging.
4) Get a start on that New Year Resolution that’s been calling your name. Whether its work out more, eat more, stop smoking or give back to the needy, do it! What better time to start a New Year Resolution that exactly one month after the New Year started?
5) Take advantage of the sales. This may be a bit counter intuitive since I’ve already mentioned TVs at Target, but there is plenty more where that came from. Chips, dips, meats, lettuces and drinks (alcoholic too) are all going to be on sale.
6) Watch the puppy bowl on Animal Planet. And if you don’t like puppies don’t be sad, there’s always something for you. You could always a Charles Manson interview.
