#Superbowl LVIII is tomorrow. In honor of this very important annual event/celebration of American culture, I thought I would share what I have left of my #AmericanFootball PRO SET collection along with some more memories/experiences from my life.

The very first Superbowl I remember watching was the one with the 3D Coke commercial, circa 1989. I was 9 years old. I remember sitting close to the TV with my 3D cardboard glasses on, the old-school kind with the blue and red cellophane, so I could enjoy the full experience!

My interest in sports continued as I played multiple sports with my cool teachers/coaches from Grades 4/5. Soccer was my favorite. I remember getting my buddies to help me out with making my shins stronger... I will elaborate on this point in another chapter/post sometime soon.🤘

Then, when I went to Grade 6/7 at Cloverdale Elementary School

I would hang out with my buddies for Superbowl Sunday parties. In elementary school, the buddies I hung out with had a pool table in their basement. Two were fraternal twin brothers, "B" and "N". One of "B's" favorite music groups/crews was House of Pain.💚

When I went to high school at Reynolds Secondary School for Grades 8-10, my buddies and I usually had Superbowl parties out in the Glanford area at SB's place. He lived in a townhouse complex/project and his parents let him decorate and use the garage for himself/his friends.

I continued to be very interested in American Football (and Baseball too) as I watched a lot of sports (and played a lot of video games) as a kid/teen/young adult with my favorite uncle, who was born/raised in California.❤️ My main sports interest these days is MMA/cage fighting❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥.

I was a huge WWF (now called WWE) fan as a kid and watched a lot of that, and boxing, with my uncles. Guess it's not too big of a surprise that I ended up getting so into MMA, especially UFC! I continued the tradition of hosting games/sports events as an adult as I frequently hosted UFC events/parties at my place when I worked at the video store and the garbage/recycling station.
