football is the reason behind everything, I promise.

So I woke up at 3:45 in the morning intending to watch Arsenal play Manchester City at the Emirates and then Barcelona play Athletic Bilbao at the San Mamés only to find out that ESPN was not showing the game and that my streams chose today to fail me. Instead of going back to sleep like a reasonable thinking person with a 7 a.m. class, I wrote this. That is my only excuse.

FC Barcelona is an evil organization of evil with morally ambiguous methods and, of course, a passion for playing football their way. Crack. Also, written at four in the morning.

( Art in the blood. If any of this is true, I don't know it, and I definitely don't want to hear about it. )
