My kids did not fail. They excelled in fact. I will admit to a significant amount of doubt. It felt like we were trapped in a cycle of plays centered around one kid. It was clear that the other team knew it and would aim to knock him out of the game, which they did for a time. It wasn’t enough. Our boys played some of the best football they’ve played this season and they did it for all four quarters. The end result was a championship trophy and a swell of happy children.
I haven’t forgotten about the words I wrote the other day. I think these kids were put too much at risk at times and the ball only touched the hands of 4 kids this game–which is far too few for as much talent as we have. Still, I get that it was far too late in the season to change course. We finished with the horse we rode in on, but we finished strong.
Now I want to spend a few minutes talking about Drake. Ever since Hotline Bling I have started to really think about this dude as the male version of Taylor Swift (and her as a middling modern version of Alanis Morrisette). I went back through his history in albums and mix tapes and found that, basically, he gets dumped a lot and writes songs about it. Sounds like Taylor Swift to me.
Let’s review the history: The dude wrote songs (and often entire playlists) about Cece and Bria following break ups. This newest song seems to hint at the relationship between Drake and a young lady named Nebby who he broke up with in 2009. Check her instagram feed and you’ll find a girl with 40k followers and a photo of a cake shaped like her own butt. She’s special. About as special as the song. Still, its not even the first song he’s written about her, or the other girls, or Rhianna, or Nikki Minaj… In short, he’s a break up junkie masquerading as a sensitive dude.
That is so very Degrassi of him.
