Rocky Marathons on Christmas? - Thursday

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 1 minute

Good morning, it’s Thursday! Or as some call it, Boxing Day. It’s outrageous that we even have a day dedicated to putting all our Christmas stuff back into boxes so stores can clear their shelves for New Year’s Eve sales. Though, with Black Friday being a thing now, Boxing Day feels a bit…wasted.

Anyway, I feel like utter garbage. My kids have been coughing in my face for the past week, and I haven’t been getting any sleep. My words are slurring, and I’m just not feeling it today. But something serendipitous happened yesterday. My wife suggested watching a movie, and I was totally down. After browsing, she settled on Creed 3. I hadn’t seen it yet, so I was in. We had to pause halfway through because my kids started, well, you know, but that’s a whole different story.

While watching Creed 3, it hit me: there’s something deeply familiar about watching a Rocky movie around this time of year. Growing up, every Christmas Day, they used to run Rocky marathons on the Lifestyle Channel (or whatever it was called). I would sit there and binge through every Rocky movie. So, watching Creed, it felt like, “Oh, why does this feel so familiar?” It’s a Christmas Eve/Christmas Day tradition, watching Rocky or a Rocky-esque movie. I guess Creed is its own franchise now, but still…

Creed 3 was pretty mid, I’m not going to lie. It was a fun boxing movie, but the storyline and plot were all over the place. Still, it was serendipitous watching it. It felt like it had been forever since I saw something like this. So yeah, maybe there is a God. Anyway, have a great day. I’m all over the place; my brain is fried. Hopefully, I can get this fixed in the next two days because I want next week to be normal. Take it easy, peace!
