Game Day #2

Thursday's used to be plain old "Mexican Day" here because we either order from Qdoba or Chipotle. (Today it is Chipotle.) But Thursdays started being game days last week, and today is game number 2. Tonight (the game starts at 9:00- are you kidding me???) I am pitching the whole game. This afternoon at lunch i went to do some pitching practice at a nearby field. My friend came and caught for me. I'd say i am in the 45-55 ratio of pitching strikes.
This afternoon will find me in the backyard (even if it is still 50 degrees and nasty out) pitching into the chair and trying to get my average up before 9pm tonight.

OK, Who watching big brother?? I friggen LOVE Chelsea. She was the best last night when she got evicted. Well even her "beg to not be voted out" speech was great. But when they read her name and she was leaving, she told Josh to grow a backbone and that Sheila had to slow down and that she has been "ridden hard and will be put up wet" DAMN!!!! and then she yelled at a few more, whispered some stuff to Joshua and James and out the door she went. the best eviction yet!!! and when she started smashing the easter eggs Natalie had dyed was GREAT. I just wish she has thrown them across the room and not just smashed them on the table, but it was still great!!!!

It was 72 yesterday and I actually got my car washed.. it looks great, and i vacuumed the inside. There was crap under the back seat that I know had not been cleaned out since i got the car, (7 years ago) - gross I know. but at least it is all gone now.. I am going to get new floor mats for it I think, with my next paycheck. make it look a little better yet.

Do you all get the Onion Newspaper where you live? We get it here and it is a laugh riot sometimes. This weeks headline i think is the best..

"Black Guy Asks Nation For Change"
(And here is an excerpt of the article)

Those who encountered the black man Tuesday said he engaged in erratic behavior, including pointing at random people in the crowd and desperately saying he needs their help, going up to complete strangers and hugging them, and angrily claiming that he is not looking for just a little bit of change, but rather a great deal of change, and that he wants it "right now."

"I'll be honest, when that black guy said he would 'stop at nothing' to get change, it kind of scared me," local mechanic Phil Nighbert said. "Just leave me alone."

Though many were taken aback by the black man's brazen demands, some, such as Jackson, MS's Holly Moser, sympathized with him. She gave the black man credit for boldly standing up and asking every last person around him for change.

"I told him I'd give him some if I saw him later, even though I probably won't," Moser said. "Very nice man, though."

Most, however, ignored his requests.

"I'm a hardworking American who pays his taxes, and the last thing I need is some guy on the street demanding change from me," said William Overkamp, a Springfield, IL gun-shop owner.

He added, "What he really needs is a job."

This makes cry from laughing.. too funny. Ok i might be the only one laughing, but i think it is funny..

And on another note, to catch you up on the toilet lady, She is still really ill and undergoing treatment for her ass cheeks growing around the toilet seat. Well when she was taken to the hospital, her boyfriend was charged with one count of mistreatment for a dependent adult. Well just last week he had more trouble. I guess when your girlfriend is out of the bathroom and in the hospital with injuries you are charged with inflicting, it is the BEST time to flash a teenage girl and her friends your little willie. So he was arrested again. Apparently charges have not been files at time of this posting, but ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? what is wrong with people?? and yes, i would like an answer. seriously.. what are you thinking???
