Superbowl Sunday Research Paper
My Favorite Superbowl Sunday

The day had finally come. No it wasn't Christmas or the New Year, Kwanza or even Easter. It was the the most glorious day of all days, the Superbowl. Now for anyone who has never heard of the Superbowl and lives in America, that person has either lived in a cave for their whole life or…well that I think would be safe to say that's probably the only case because everyone knows what the Superbowl is. Anyway, this Superbowl Sunday started off just a little bit different than most Superbowl's I've had off from work and for any of this day to make any sense for anyone that wasn't there, I'm going to have to start by including some background information on the previous events that led up to this day. Our adventure

As my eyes struggled to adjust to the bright florescent light beaming from the kitchen I realized that it was no more than 6 am. "Well hello there drunkie!" an annoyingly screechy male voice yells from the kitchen. Confused and still a little disoriented I ignored whatever asshole decided to wake up at such a god awful hour. I had noticed he was wearing spandex and a bandana so that shed some light on why anyone would be up so early after a night of drinking. After lying there for around 30 more minutes, I finally decided I might as well get up seeing as how most of the house was waking up top 40's crap coming from the stereo. Eventually the rest of the house gathered in the kitchen and the stories of the night before started to unravel. Luckily, I wasn't on the topic of discussion (aka I wasn't the drunkest) so I decided to start drinking again since I was on vacation. Bad idea. For the next 7 hours of the day I couldn't hold a single thing down. The crazy thing is I actually made it snowboarding! I literally would take a run, get on the chairlift, get queazy, vomit off the side and repeat. Yes, I know it's quite disgusting but that's how much I love to snowboard. Now to make myself sound even more insane, as soon as I stopped vomiting like a bulimic woman I started my drinking again. Once again as soon as the alcohol hit my lips the day blurred …show more content…
The house had finally slept in (I assumed the excessive drinking over a two day span was the cause of this) and I felt like a million dollars. We packed up our things and headed to the slopes to catch a few more runs before heading back to Denver. Before we hit the chairlift I decided it would be in my best interests to keep drinking, and so I did. I took the leftover handle of vodka and polished every last disgusting drip out of it. Now that I had had my breakfast I was ready to ride, or at least I thought. Now I've snowboarded for most of my life so snowboarding to me is like second nature, but today was a little different. As the lift approached the top of the mountain I assumed the position to get off but wobbled a little too much and fell off about 5 feet before it arrived. Thank the lord it was a 3 foot drop at most and nothing was hurt but my ego. The lift attendants immediately ran over making sure I was ok. I brushed them off playing it cool and rode off. The rest of the run was about as sketchy as that first lift; I couldn't balance worth a damn. That's when I decided it would be best for others and myself if I quit and just went to the

    My legs were shook like they never had before and in any normal situation I would be sweating but it was too cold for that. I saw the end of the diving board, I heard the sound of the board hitting the fulcrum as I jumped off the board to complete my dive. The dive I was about to meet with disaster was a Back 1 ½ Somersault in the Pike Position. This is when you do one and a half back flips and you land on your try head. Try was the key word in that previous statement. I felt my legs come up far too slowly and I felt myself jump to…

    `Middle of the day and were almost at Super Bowl 51. There was so much traffic in the parking lot. We weren't even moving for about 10 minutes. We got there 3 hours early! Finally we got in and waited even longer. We had to go to another station to get our tickets checked because there was about over 20,000 people. “ I can’t wait any longer,” said my dad. After about 30 minutes we finally got to our seat and rested. We got up and we got some pizza and drinks. We waited 2 hours for the game to start. We sang the national anthem and then they setted up for the kick off. The Falcons kicked off to the Patriots. Unfortunately, New England was forced into a three-and-out after LeGarrette Blount was stopped on 3rd-and-short. The Falcons were able…

    My major’s students could feel a festive atmosphere and watched the game in a bar. It was my first experience to watch the super bowl game in the US. Honestly, the game was not interesting because both teams could get many points. It was a boring game for me. The QB of Panthers is very famous because his play style. He can not only throw but also run. It was an ideal type of QB in this comic. When I was watching the semi final game of Panthers, he showed the ultimate ability as a running QB. It was amazing, and I became his fan. However, in the Super bowl, he could not show his ability, thus his team could not…

    I looked at the clock. It was only 8:00. I still had 5 hours left. I went into my black and white themed bedroom and set my phone alarm for 12:25. That would give me enough time to get all my things in order and drive the 15 minutes to the factory. I should arrive there right on time. I looked around my bedroom, suddenly resenting the lack of comforting colors. I have to admit, I was scared. I was starting the most important night of my life. Who wouldn’t be a little freaked out? With that thought in my head, I lay down, trying to get a little rest before I went and blew stuff…

    The Twilight Zone

    The last thing I remember is falling asleep during a late night rerun of the Twilight Zone. So when it happened, it was especially eerie, like I had stepped into a lost episode, but Rod Serling was nowhere in sight; for moment, neither was anybody else. At 4:31 AM a merciless shove pushed me off my bed. I crawled on the floor, trying to escape the cruel, uncontrollable shaking, but it followed me. It followed me down the stairs and underneath the dining room table where my family joined me. Little did I realize that before the morning sun rose again, I would see everything differently.…

    Never Told Me Narrative

    “I’ve been drinking since I was twelve, but I don’t think I was exactly twelve. Maybe older, maybe younger. I’m a little tipsy now but that’s not what you want to hear. I was once told I drank like an eel, I’m not sure what that meant, but again that’s not what you want to hear. You want me to sit here and tell you the exact traumatic moment when I began drinking; It was the first time I ever had that nightmare. The next day I asked my dad why drank, he said ‘I drink to forget’. He never told me what he was trying to forget. I thought ‘I drinking makes you forget, maybe I’ll forget the dream.’ So I drank a couple of beers then went to sleep. The dream was worse than before, but that was the cycle every night for the past thirty-five years.”…

    Deja Vu Monologue

    I’ve just woken up from a strange dream. I mean most of the ones that I’m able to remember are strange in general, but this one was odd even for a dream. It was more like entering an alternate state of mind that simultaneously brushes against your unconscious. I look around and the first thing I notice is the tv in front of me which is tuned to some late night infomercial about maintaining a healthy colon. The next thing I notice is the cherry slurpy sitting between me and the tv on my glass coffee table. The beverage is drunken two thirds of the way while the rest has already turned into liquid dye and there’s a small puddle of water underneath it giving me an idea of how long I’ve been out. I finally recognize the area as the living room of my apartment. I now remember watching some b-horror movie right before knocking out on my couch. I also remember buying the drink just down the street, from the Freeway Liquor store.…

    I woke up around seven thirty or eight o’clock on Sunday morning. My mom, younger brother, and I stayed at my mom’s boyfriend’s house the night before. The original plan was to get up around five in the morning to get to the ski resort earlier, but we ended up sleeping in a little bit longer than expected. My mom woke me up by tickling my nose with a feather. With aggravation, I hurried up and opened my eyes and yelled at her. When I woke up, my mom started laughing at me. My younger brother, Mason, took forever to get himself ready. Everyone was up and ready within the next hour.…

    Looking down at this horrifying I thought how could some every want to go down such a steep slope. When I get seated and ready to go I start to get a little light headed. Then I went down the slope. As soon as I start going down it feel like I just jumped out of a plane because it felt like I was free falling. When I was down I was so scared that I couldn’t even find enough courage to even scream. When I got out the slide I started to throw up, but then I realized I did something that many people would never do and attack a very big…

    Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

    It was the day before the trip and we were all really excited that we could get out and have some fun because as everyone knows the end of the school year can’t come fast enough. There were about 17 of us who had gotten permission, and we were all planning on going. Then, unfortunately for us one of my classmates had the brilliant idea to drink vodka before we go into school the next day. He said he had a friend that could purchase the alcohol, and if we all pitched in five dollars we could get a big enough bottle to get us all drunk. We all agreed and gave him the money.…

    The rays pieced the veil which was my room, my eyes burned from the light streaming through the blinds. I felt my surroundings warp around me; I could feel the wetness beneath of the previous night’s events. Unfortunately I had vomited on myself in my drunken endeavours, my ears rang, and my head spun, I could possibly have the worst hangover of the century. I have no memory of last night in my drunken state; I felt my pockets for evidence. All I could find was my wallet, car keys, someone else’s identity and I had lost my own, not knowing who I was. I then having a vague idea of where I was at last night set off to find an understanding of who I am and what had happened to me the previous night.I walked around my house looking for remnants of the previous night, I stumbled upon a figure sleeping on my couch, he was a stocky male around 6ft, and I hesitantly nudged him trying to wake him. His eyes opened wide neither one of us knew what was going on. Till he leapt from the couch and embraced with a hug, it felt like a bear was squeezing the life from me. After a few awkward moments he said “bro that party was mad” I thought my party, what party. I then began to converse with this stranger “who am I” with a confused look he replied. “John what’s wrong with you, are you that hungover”. “Who the f### is john, I can’t remember john” I ask the stranger in a demanding tone.…

    My family had planned a trip to telluride, Colorado, for spring break. I had been anticipating it for months and it finally came. We packed the car with all of our suitcases and strapped our skis and snowboards to the top of the car. I hopped in the car, put on my headphones, and got prepared for the long journey that awaited. We drove a total of seven hours on roads that snaked through mountains and roads that were long, flat, and looked as if they had no end. As we started getting closer to Colorado I started seeing snow on the side of the road and began fantasizing about shredding down the mountain on my board. I couldn’t wait to launch off the huge jumps I had heard about and try new tricks. I day dreamed for the rest of the car ride, not responding to anyone or anything.…
