OK, So i suck..

I can admit it, I can own it. I really suck! so, we lost last night, and I am pretty sure it was my fault. I couldn't hit the strike zone to save my life. The ump was trying to get me to have my arch higher, but i just couldn't seem to get it into that zone. It has to arch at 6 to 12 feet, yeah well i was arching at like 3 or 25. you get nothing or nothing with me. I would say about every 8 pitches were hittable and i maybe got a strike in there somewhere... I don't think i actually walked a run in, but i sure did load up the bases pretty good once or twice.. (ok closer to like three times, but whose counting- besides everyone on my team..) UGH.. and to make matters worse, when we got there, we really didn't have a lot of time to warm up and streatch (read: drank beer and chatted until game time) so i didn't really get my body ready to play. we were first up to bat and when i got up, i hit the ball (yes i did, shut up) and i took off and felt something in my upper thigh on my right leg.. I ran it out, but didn't make it on the bag. since then my leg was killing me to even really walk on. Of course that was with in teh first 5 minutes of the game and i played the rest on a really hurt leg.. the last time at bat I hit the ball and my first base coach was yelling 'run it out', so i ran and kept running and i think i hurt it a little more that time.
But i did end up getting on base. (dreading that someone would make me run to second) but that was the end of the game, and we lost. Thanks to me, we lost. I don't even know the score, didn't ask... Probable safe to say i am not pitching anymore.. not a problem, i am over it and will play any other position.
Not to worry, I wasn't the only injury last night, a girl slid into third and scraped up her knee, and guy slid into third and hurt his knee.. and i think there were a few hurt fingers and stuff. It was just really cold and we got the brunt of it. end of softball chatter, I don't even want to think about it any more...

This weekend should be better, we are going to drown my sorrows and hurt leg by partaking of another's legs. Crab legs!!! See, out here in Colorado we have these beautiful moountain communities that are so quaint and nice to visit, but there is this one mountain town that got just overrun by local politics and too much scratching backs and stuff, that it ended up with these enormous casinos stuck right in the mountain side. Well let me take that back, they actually removed some of the mountains to make room for these casinos. It is really sad. I mean they said it take miracles to move mountains, well in Black Hawk, it just took a few corrupt politicians, some greasing of palms at the state level and then a few backhoes and some drills, throw up some chicken wire over the raw side of the hill you just created and start construction. Amazingly horrible for the environment, scenery, and the local population. BUT that means that if there is a casino, there is a buffet... and if there is a buffet in a casino well then you know they have crab legs. I can't tell you how much i love crab legs.
I grew up on the East Coast and my grandparents (both) had river/summer homes on the Chesapeake Bay. Each summer we would go up and hang out at their places (coincendently the two families -mom and dad's- summer homes were two houses from each other.
Talk about killing two birds with one stone. visiting both grandparents and cousins etc in one trip.) ANYWAY~ we always had fresh blue crabs, shrimp and fish. Moving out of Colorado put a damper on how much fresh seafood you can get, and the casinos are one of the best places to get seafood.
Once in a while they send us a coupon for buy one get one for the buffet. We have been sitting on one coupon for over a month and have not gone yet. Well it expired this weekend and we are going to get crab legs. I am craving them.. I am not sure if we will go tonight or tomorrow, but we are going one of the two days.
It is also magazine delivery weekend.. UGH! I got a call that they were delivered this morning to our house, so that means we have to get this out to all the clubs, bars, tattoo shops, hair cutting places and the like, this weekend. I hate this chore and bitch about it every time we have to do it. But i do it. My payment from my boyfriend is usually a good meal. I bet he is going to bribe me with the buffet... I bet it..

I am exhausted and see this being another early friday. Might stick it out till 3, but i am betting on snack time departure today. Don't worry, i will stay to see what snack is, and then go.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and is safe. I might be working on some videos this weekend so stay tuned for some weekend content. who knows...
Here are some things to make you go hummmmmm.

Today is National Black Forest Cake Day. (Bring it on!!! I will be first to help celebrate this one.)

Today is Hot Tub Day. (hell yeah, I will take your donations)

Today is Hair Day. The controversial rock musical moved to Broadway on this date in 1968. Many felt the songs "Aquarius," "Hair," and "Let the Sunshine In" defined those who opposed the "Establishment" and the Vietnam War. (and why is that an issue… guess I wasn’t around in 1968 but I sure wish the kids would stand up like they did then, now…. We need some more people standing up to the government)

Today is Burpless Friday, a day to see how long you can go without burping. (ok, that’s not really a problem for me..)

Today is Teachers Day in the Czech Republic.

Today is Weed Appreciation Day. Find a weed you think you could like. Think of it as a wildflower and see if that helps. (hhheee, snicker, snicker..)

SchmeckFest begins today in Freeman, South Dakota. (I looked it up for you… Schmeckfest (festival of tasting) is a four-day festival in Freeman, South Dakota that celebrates the heritage and culture of Germans from Russia, specifically Russian Mennonites, who migrated to North America starting in the 1870s. Established in 1959, German culture is showcased through traditional food and crafts prepared and demonstrated by the local Freeman community.^[1] Schmeckfest has been held every spring since and has grown to accommodate more than 5,000 guests every year)

And things that happened on this day since i have been born...

1973: Wilt Chamberlain retired from pro basketball. In 1,045 games during 14 years, he never fouled out of a game. (so he screwed more chicks than games he played)

1979: America's worst commercial nuclear accident occurred inside at the Three Mile Island plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania.

1983: Fred Jipp was sentenced to 28 years in prison in Phoenix for fraud and bigamy. In 30 years he allegedly had married 104 women in 28 countries. He died in 1991. (That was big of him.. sorry couldn’t resist)

1984: In the middle of the night Robert Irsay moved the Baltimore Colts football team to Indianapolis. (I remembered that this really pissed my dad off)

1986: More than 6,000 radio stations of all formats played "We Are the World" simultaneously at 10:15 a.m. EST. (my ears are bleeding just thinking of the tune, and I hope it is stuck in your head just like it is now in my head just from reading the stupid title)

1987: Maria von Trapp, whose life inspired the musical ''The Sound of Music,'' died at age 82.

1990: Officials in Chester, South Carolina, reassured concerned residents that the white dust caking their cars near the Borden factory was just Cremora.

1995: Singer Lyle Lovett and actress Julia Roberts announced they were separating after 21 months of marriage. (that was just a weird match up, but I love Lyle)

1997: Trees were planted throughout Sarajevo in the former Yugoslavia to replace 40,000 trees cut down for wood during the war.

1999: Venus Williams beat kid sister Serena 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 to win the Lipton Championships in the first all-sister women's final in 115 years.

2003: A Briton called Eric Bush legally changed his name to protest the U.S.-led war in Iraq. The 72-year-old, who lived in southern France, said he was ashamed to bear the same name as the U.S. president. He officially changed his name to Buisson, the French term for bush. (well you really can’t blame the man, now can you??? I would change my name too)

2004: Sir Peter Ustinov, the actor who won Oscars for his roles in "Spartacus" and "Topkapi," died in Switzerland at age 82.
