Loser ~ Beck
"Best buddy, last time Kansas City won the Super Bowl I wasn't even born yet. I'm an old bastard too. Isn't that sad. All I really want in life is for KC to win a Super Bowl. If that happens I could drop dead right then and there and die a happy man. That's all I want to see happen. I don't give a shit about anything else best buddy." My cousin Joel has been playing the part of on again, off again, roommate and new best buddy for the last month and a half. The two of us were sitting at my dinner table discussing what we wanted to see happen in life before we die.
"Man, you really need to set some goals that don't include Kansas City winning the Super Bowl. You have been let down by them time and time again. I would think you have more in life going for you than just hoping the Chiefs win a championship." I thought about what he said for a moment - "Not really best buddy," is my response, "Chief Nation winning the Super Bowl is all I really want to see before I die best buddy. If that happens I feel my life will be complete best buddy." I ask what he wants to see most in life - "For you to stop calling me best buddy," he replies with a smirk.
We chat about the weather for a minute and then I say - "Junior has a load riding on Pittsburgh winning at Arrowhead this weekend. I told him it is a fool's errand to think they will beat KC at Arrowhead. You know what he told me? He said, 'Alex Smith will tank and Ben will bounce back from his performance last week.' He doesn't think Alex has what it takes to get it done. What do you think about that best buddy?" All the football talk was annoying him & I didn't care. If best buddy doesn't like it he can always stay somewhere else - "I don't know man. Can we talk about anything else besides football? It's like you are obsessed. I just don't want you to be disappointed again. You know how the Chiefs are. It's not like they haven't let you down before."
"Not this year best buddy! They are clearly the best team in football right now," I then add with emphasis, "I don't care what people say about Belicheater and all the other assholes. The Super Bowl is going to run through Arrowhead this year!" Joel is a glass is half empty kind of guy - "Okay, whatever you say dude," he says sarcastically - I did not appreciate it - "Look man, if you don't pledge your allegiance to the Chief Nation right this instance you have a week to get your stuff out and find another place to live," he smirks and says, "No problem, I am moving back to Kansas City next week." I tell him I will be looking for a new best buddy next week. It didn't seem to phase him.
