I really enjoy baseball, I love the Red Sox

Things I thought about while watching the first game in the world series between the Boston Red Sox and the Colorado Rockies.
A real friend stays on the phone with you all night watching the game. 3 hours, 40 minutes and 44 seconds. Thanks Pattycakes. I tried very hard with the three minute delay between us not to give too much away. It’s weird we have a three minute delay since you only live upstairs. Tricky time zones.
Pattycakes and I agree, the Colorado uniforms are ugly. Absolutely ugly. Not the color, the sleevelessness of them. (Is that a word?) They’re just wrong. Baseball uniforms should have some sleeve to them. Otherwise they look more like an apron or smock.
32 Minutes is a hell of a long time for half an inning. Bottom of the fifth lasted 32 minutes give or take a few.
Colorado Pitching walked home more Red Sox players in that one inning than Colorado hit home in the entire game.
Red Sox do best with two outs on them. They just start smashing the ball and come alive.
Josh Beckett is amazing as a pitcher. He’s enjoyable to watch. He’s focused and intense.
Kevin Youkilis has the most bizarre batting stance I have seen in a very long time. It’s just weird, I keep waiting for him to fall over. He hasn’t yet, but that’s no guarantee it won’t happen.
I drank over a six pack (soda) and managed to hold my bladder through almost the entire game. That’s a record for me.
I really do love baseball. I mean I really do. Im up at 12:20 AM when I have to work in the morning and I feel good. It was a good game. I look forward to tomorrow nights game.
C’mon Red Sox! Keep setting records!!!

Get out of your own head.....

I had all kinds of thoughts and plans for my future. Dreams of the life I'd lead and the places I'd travel. But dreams are simply mist, blown away by the winds of reality, and as a well-known movie of our  younger years taught us, 'Reality Bites'. Reality is a bitter bitch.

Monster Juice Spray pussifying our children?

Today someone posted a cute little story about a pharmacy that prescribes a Monster Spray to children that have monsters under their bed. They spray the spray before bedtime, under their bed and it makes all the monsters go away. A little six year old girl used it three times before she was sure all the monsters were gone. I find this story absolutely adorable. I think it's wonderful that this pharmacists does something so kind for small children with big imaginations. I think a little magic in this world is just what a lot of child need. The response from one woman totally had me stunned. She said it's crap like this that is pussifying our children. Really? Then she went on in another reply when asked what one has to do with the other to say her daughter was bullied and what are they going to make next, bully spray? (They do make a bully spray, it's called mace!)  Her daughter had to graduate early because of bullies. Okay, what does her daughter being bullied have to do...

Sometimes..

Sometimes the emotional pain becomes too much to bear. Sometimes the emotional pain feels like it's going to consume us. Sometimes the emotional pain is so overwhelming that we need a physical pain to release it before we lose ourselves and who we are in it. Not everyone can understand this, I get that. Not everyone can look at someone with scars that were self inflicted and say, I see your pain. Sometimes, we hide those scars under our jeans so no one will notice. It's not for attention, it's for release. Sometimes we dull the pain with alcohol, sometimes we dull the pain with drugs either prescription or illegal. Sometimes we smoke too much and talk to loud. But we find our release to keep us alive. We are survivors with our scars to prove it.
