Everyone watched the Superbowl. If you have any questions read the first poem "Fight for love" and that should explain this.
I used to believe that love could conquer all.
But that went away once I saw the Cardinals fall
The Cardinals looked like they were in good shape right
before half time.
But Harrison’s interception put the Steelers up by a dime.
When the Cardinals
were down by 13 people’s dreams hit the floor.
I told them not to worry, that love was worth fighting for.
Once they made their comeback like I said they would do.
I sent them a text telling them that “I told you!”
After they scored the safety it was the Cardinals time to
thrive.
And Kurt Warner delivered what I thought was the game winning drive.
But shortly after I felt broken and battered.
When in just two minutes my hopes were shattered.
Then what happened next was worse than listening to a baby’s
screams.
I felt utterly defeated, they had destroyed my dreams.
Love is dead, it died in the air.
With 35 seconds remaining and a catch ruled fair.
I thought there was still hope, but the refs wouldn’t let
the game go on.
The paramedics had already called it, “Love is going, going… Gone.”
If the saying “nice guys finish last” is true, then when it comes to life most of them have barely left the starting blocks. Nice guys seem to be left in the dust by people that are commonly known as “that guy”. “That guy” is the person everybody knows but, nobody wants to be. Ironically “that guy” is usually incapable of comprehending that he is actually “that guy”. There are several types of that guy, in fact too many to even count! Even to this very day scientists are still discovering new forms of thatguyites. However, there are three types of “that guy” that are spreading more rampant than herpes. Knowledge truly is power when it comes to dealing with any form of epidemic. So here are the three major forms of “that guy” and what to do when you encounter them.
That Guy #1
Tough guy: This guy is always down to party and always ready to fight. Despite his over inflated ego, this guy comes in all size. From the small mouthy pop off to the over sized trash talking weight lifter. For him fighting can solve everything and even though he’ll never hit a woman, he’s always ready to verbally assault “your mom!”
How to deal with the Tough guy: Tough guys though strong in spirit are normally ill equipped intellectually. Fighting a tough guy will only bring you to his level; instead wait till he says something like, “What? You got something to say?” then calmly respond with “Yeah, about a million things but I can’t express myself monosyllabically enough for you to understand them all.” He won’t realize you insulted him until about a week later during mid-rep on bench press.
That Guy #2
D-bag guy: This is the guy that is always down for a one night stand with a complete stranger. If married he doesn’t think twice before taking off his wedding ring. He has no problem hitting on your long term girl friend or even your wife. He has no boundaries when it comes to woman. As far as he’s concerned no girls are off limits, this can include his best friends’ girl or his brother’s wife.
How to deal with D-bag guy: As much as you want to punch this guy in the face or maliciously swing your foot into his groin, it may not be the best approach. Not only could this make you like “That Guy #1” but, the D-bag guy usually travels with a Tough guy for that very reason. D-bags hate complications and confrontation. So if you see a D-bag making a move on your girl just go up and make sure he knows you’re in the picture. Then when you get some time alone, politely inform the D-bag that if you see him by your girl again, you will have your own Tough guy friend rip off his arms and beat him to death with them.
That Guy #3
Trash talker guy: On the surface this guy is nice to everyone. He greets you with open arms as soon as you walk through the door. He tries to be everything to everyone and his best friend is whoever he’s with, until they leave that is. The Trash talker won’t hesitate to talk about how much he can’t stand you, as long as you’re not in ear shot. The only thing worse than listening to a Trash Talker, is confronting one. They have no morally integrity, will deny everything and lie until their ears bleed. They never admit when they’re wrong and are professionals at changing the subject.
* Even though there is not enough evidence to support it, some scientists firmly believe that the Trash Talker does not actually have a conscious.
How to deal with the Trash Talker guy: As fun as it is to call the Trash Talker out on his BS, this will only provoke more trash talking when you leave. The best way to deal with a Trash Talker is to avoid them. They have a very short attention span, so as long as you’re not talking to them they won’t remember you exist. Trust me, it’s better that way.
If the saying “nice guys finish last” is true, then nice guys should begin to realize that the race of life isn’t about winning. “That guy” may “win” the race but, he ends up finishing alone and taking life for granted in the process. So take your time, enjoy the sights and continue helping people along the way. By the time you do decide to cross the finish line, you will be doing it with the ones you love and without regret. “That guy” may criticize you for being in last but, what he doesn’t realize, is that’s exactly where you want to be.
That is all.
