makes us human. We are all different. You can find me at a Super Bowl party rocking my Justin Bieber t-shirt, signaling to everyone that I would much rather be at a JB concert than this Super Bowl party. Regardless, I still show up, don’t I? That should be more than enough. In some ways, every time the Super Bowl rolls back around, I am reminded of why I love my brothers, who scream so loudly and obnoxiously at the TV. They are as passionate about things I find zero joy in as I am passionate about things they find zero joy in. It’s beautiful, really. We can see things completely differently, but still love each other regardless of those differences. When my brothers, Parker and John David, watch football, they see every play, every strategic move and every ounce of heart these guys bring to the football field. When I watch football, I see guys running around in different directions for no reason. I don’t understand football. It’s not for me. But I understand my friends and family, and I understand what they love. This is their favorite time of the year. So, while I’ll stick to my commitment to the halftime performances, and I’ll still probably be leaving the room after that’s over, I’ll willingly respect and gladly listen to them scream and shout at people who cannot hear them. RANDOM THOUGHT… I wish Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were my parents.
