Last night at about 1:20 a.m., an hour before kick off, I sent an email out to everyone on my contacts making it very clear what my plans were for the next few hours. I had two grilled cheese sandwiches in front of me, a sketchpad, and my shift had ended an hour and twenty minutes ago. It was only me and one other person in my office, and the next 60 minutes would be relatively quiet. So I made the announcement to let everyone know, that I was rooting for the Underdog. Fitzgerald is a player with a style not unlike my own, if I played football, and I knew that if the Cardinals were going to win it would be because of that guy.

The following Four and a half hours would leave me at the edge of my seat of one of the most amazing games I've ever watched...er...paid attention to.

Despite the loss, I'd have to say that the experience was amazing. I couldn't exactly tell you why, because as far as my experience it was pretty simple, but the game was definitely fun to watch. Unless it was Friday Night Lights, I had never felt so nervous for a team before, and it was a scary feeling for me. In the end I can't say who I think deserved it more, but I left work with at least having known that for those few hours I could forget about my troubles and just have a little fun.

Here is my desk at work, where I can be found at night.

And a little more of the office

There is the one guy in my office, isn't part of my department, but he still enjoys the game as you can see.

More of my desk, you can see how I planned to spend the night

A count of how many times us military service members were thanked, starting from the kick off show till the end of the game. The orange tic's were from President Obama himself.
