baseball

we are about a month away from the start of baseball season. i know a lot of people complain that its too boring to watch, but with no football, college basketball winding down, and an irrelevant Miami Heat, what else am i supposed to? if you really get into the strategy of the game i'm sure you could at least make it through 2 or 3 innings before flipping over to TBS and watching a rerun of Everybody Loves Raymond.

well, i'm excited. my beloved Boston Red Sox are going for back to back world series. and even though our pitching staff is shattered because beckett is having back problems, dice-k's wife is having a baby, and schilling is hurt and putting on weight so he is starting to resemble john travolta (wild hogs travolta, not face off travolta) i still think we have a shot at winning it all again. even if we don't, at least it will give me an excuse to watch tv all saturday afternoon and put off mowing the lawn.

dont procrastinate

so today i decided to tackle the last bit of summer work i had. which was read this book and write an essay. problem is, i underestimated this book. in the words of my friend matt, its pretty trippy. its called Ishmael, its about this super smart gorilla who is teaching this 30 year old what is wrong with civilization. i dont know. i knocked out half of it today. ill read the other half tomorrow and write the paper before church. then im free til monday. hallelujah! man, i cant believe summer is almost over. its alright, school wont be as bad as last year, i have an easier schedule, so ill more time to do fun stuff other than go home, do homework, go to bed.

so now im gonna go see how my sox did today against the angels. they had a double header, and a rookie on the mound, maybe a promising young stud to fill out the rotation. man, i can smell a pennant this year. its gonna be sick. preseason has started and college is getting ready to kick off! praise the Lord, football season is almost upon us! im stoked.
