Well, a few signs of the apocalypse:
1. It was a white Christmas in Texas. The first since 1923.
2. The Southern Methodist Mustangs had a 7 win season after 25 years.
3. The New Orleans Saints won a superbowl.
Not sure if I wanna live in a world that allows this anymore.
Wanna know why I dig victory parties in the South? Because when a team in the south wins a major championship, people get shit-canned, scream and make asses of themselves in honor of their team. In the north, when a home team wins a major championship, they light shit on fire. Seriously. Like, when Detroit won some shit a few years back (NBA I think) they lit some cars on fire. Because a city that is on the verge of urban extinction needs to just start setting cars on fire. Winnars.
Then again, I suppose when you live under grey skies and perpetual white winter, the only thing you can do is light a car on fire, just to see some color.
Anyway, I'm happy for the Saints. What better way to celebrate a city's first bath (2006) than with a city's first Super Bowl (2010)? Though, with Mardi Gras, the long weekend, and the Super Bowl around the corner, I wouldn't be surprised if that city was a giant smoking hole in the ground, leaving behind only vagrants and whores.
So I guess not much is going to change anyway.
