2007 Season only 5 days away!!!
When I think about Spring, usually I think of Robins and lots of mud (;-) but I now realize that I like to think of those as the *transition* between Winter and Spring. Spring is finally in motion when the first pitch of the new Baseball season goes flying over the plate.
Next Monday is the first day of the 2007 Baseball season. What could possibly be in store for my Twins this year? Well, between you and me I am very optimistic about winning the division *knock on wood*.
As always I wish nothing but pain to the New York Yankees. Especially Mr. Jeter. I don't want some smug, douche-bag who just happens to be incredibly hot, to win anything of any sort. However I would like to make an exception: All Yankees players must be in pain excluding Doug Mientkiewicz and Johnny Damon (Damon will always be a Red Sox player in my heart and Dougy will always be a Twin!)
Oh and P.S! Why the HELL are the Yankees building a new ballpark!!! OMG! How can you replace all the history that happened at Yankee Stadium!! I may not be a Yankee fan but I mean, come on! I have respect for their history! ....and....well....you see....I haven't seen a game there yet! And I wanted to :-( (Which reminds me, my mom actually said that we should go back to New York soley for the fact of watching a Baseball game there - I was so excited to say Hey! I've seen Twinsl Games from 5 different ballparks! AND now I CANT!)
And I would like to announce the first female umpire since 1989 is going to be umpping a game between the Diamond Backs and the Cubs (too bad its in the National League). Yeah I just read that on the MLB website, pretty cool!
What else would I like to address? Oh yes! For years now people have been questioning why Baseball is STILL our National Pastime instead of Football when Football seems to be so much more popular. Well, I would like to address this blasphemy.
“Football should be the American Pastime because it's ratings are better and it has a bigger fan base.”
This statement is ridiculous. How can you say that football has a better ratings and because of that it should be America's Pastime. DUH! Of Course Football has better ratings than Baseball! Think about it, Baseball has 160+ games a year and Football has 13 or so (I'm not too sure). And ALL of Football's 13 season games are on Sunday's - which makes it much easier to watch and follow from week to week. Baseball has between 4 and five games a week during their season! This obviously makes it a little more difficult to watch.
Ok, Let's say Sunday Night Football has "x" amount of viewers one week. In the same week Baseball has 4 games and each game has "y" amount of viewers. Here's the kicker (I hope you passed algebra):
Baseball's amount of viewers = y
Football's amount of viewers = x
If Baseball has 4 games a week then 4(y)
If Football has 1 game a week then 1(x)
And in the end it just so happens that 4(y)= x
See? They end up being roughly the same except baseball's viewers aren't all watching at the same time and spread it out for the week. However the world will never know because the Nielson Ratings (as well as other rating thingys) look at things daily - not weekly.
So to say that football has better ratings and because of that they have more fans is just something a stupid idiot would say because he doesn't want his sport to be number 2.
Which brings me to why second point. Now, I have been a fan of football in the past so It's not as if I am saying baseball it better simply because I enjoy it more. I did really love to watch football, but I quickly grew tired of the Cocky, Selfish, Rude and arrogant players. Now I understand that baseball as their players too *cough* Jeter *cough* A.rod *Cough* Guy who had food thrown at him by MN fans (which was so embarrassing) *cough* - But I mean come on! Are there any Vikings fans out there still?! And if there are how can you keep supporting a teams who's players have: Were arrested after a fight in front of a bar, Have a scandal in-volving the "boat Cruise", Have intentionally hit a police officer with their car, sexual misconduct and Honest to God, the list goes on. Now even though I have a growing distaste for the sport doesn’t mean I don't enjoy flipping on The Vikings/Packers game every once in a while. Oh don't even get me STARTED on Brett Favre!
And my biggest thing is: I hate going to football games. I've been more than a few times and the fans are VICIOUS! I've never been to a ball game where I was actually scared for my life. It's just a game! (Well, at least for those of us that don't gamble away our Christmas bonuses on the Sport)Once I got up to use a bathroom and I made sure to go when a play wasn't in motion and an old woman who had to have been about 70 yelled at me! Well by the time I had realized she yelled at me I was already gone, but apparently my mom had heard the woman and - well - gave the woman a little piece of her mind - which after the game people actually 3 different grown men came up to her and told her "Way to go" "She's been crazy all season" "I never could've done it!".
Anyway, I have just had a better experience with baseball.
Ok, so The Vikings and the Twins both play in the Metrodome - But the atmosphere is completely different!
Football Game - Old Drunk men with beer bellies the size of Jupiter, hollering at screaming at the coach, invading my leg space (I HATE It when I guys do that! I don’t CARE if it's uncomfortable, Stay the hell anyway from me!)
Baseball Game - The smell of the field, the smell of hotdogs, people cheering and high-fiving even if we lost, a place you can take you grandma and you don't have to worry about her being checked into the wall by some boorish man. A community feeling, my childhood, the air itself, homerun derbies, a place for little kids with dreams to think big a learn good sportsmanship (lol...excluding the food on the field incident)
SO many players come and play for the Twins because the Twins players play for the love of the game - not a pay check.
(Take that bud Sielig you FUCKING SON OF A FUCKING PRICK! (commissioner of Baseball who tried to contract the Twins a couple years back) And it just so happens we won the division that year!!!!....and then we won it again the year after that....and then the year after that!!!!!!)
Well, I have been writing this for a while. I'm not making my arguments very clear anymore..lol
So I am excited for the 2007 Season! GO TWINS!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Haha, I just got this from Tracy!
Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their
new wives duties.
The first man had married a woman from Wisconsin and had told her that she was going to do dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple days, but on the third day he came home to a clean house and dishes washed and put away.
The second man had married a woman from North Dakota. He had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.
The third man had married a girl from Minnesota. He told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye; enough to fix himself a bite to eat and load the dishwasher.
I WANT YOUR OPNION!
Ok, now my College is a small one: 3,913 students...and every year we have this thing called pinestock...its like woodstock....but not...now we have a bunch of bands all day, and these bands are anywhere from student groups to big names groups...and when I say big name I say, a couple years ago we had Guster, last year was OAR and now i just got the list for this year....these are the people that we're trying to get to play here in this litte hick town in the middle of nowhere
Yeah, I'm apologizing
I figure that if I don't write this down I will never be able to sleep.
I feel bad about the blog I wrote and then deleted. I don't know who or how many people had the chance to read it, and I am guessing that the people I didn't want to read it probably did. I feel like I owe them an apology for solely the fact that I expressed myself in a way that was probably not the most ideal. I don't regret what I said, only the way in which I said it. (And being that this is my blog and therefore used to express myself in ways that I might not otherwise be able to, a part of me *does* feel that I should not be sorry for anything)
What I want to say is that if there is an unresolved issue it should be brought to my attention because I have neither the time nor the patience for any drama, stupidity or infantile behavior. Finals are just around the corner and I am not bothering with anything that'll just end being nothing.
Ok, now here is my actual dream
Ok, now I don't know how any of it actually started but I'll take it from the point where I remember:
My entire dream was in color and extremely vivid, except in a way I kind of knew that I was dreaming....anyway I was at work - not at the caf but in an office and this took place a couple years in the future. The office was very brown, like the walls were very dark and there was only one window (that was by my desk - sweet huh). The entire area is open and there are desks everywhere where people are working. My desk was set up in an L shape with another girl's desk and I remember turning to look at the girl and it was megan. Weird, but kinda cool cause we were really close friends in my dream. (oh and this is when I realized I was dreaming cause I thought "why the hell are you here") And so we're working and having fun and then Tracy comes up and talks to us a little and then says that she needs something done, so I tell her that I'll take care of it. So I get up and I walk over to the entrance of the office. I open the closet to look for what Tracy wants but when I find it, it's out of reach. So I look around for a stool or something and that's when Barb and Carol show up (Two ladies who work in the cafeteria who I absolutly adore) SO I talk to them a little bit then they leave and I continue to look for a footstool. I can't find one and so I get really frustrated and I go up the shelf and grab something on one of the lower shelves. Using that object I try to knock down tracy's thing (i dont know what it was but I want to say a box of kleenex even though it didnt look like it) Finally I manage to get a hold of Tracy's Object using the object from one of th elower shelves, but instead of just knocking down one item, the entire contents of the shelf comes down. Then barb and carol turned up again and told me that they'd fix it for me and told me not to worry. So I thank them and return with the thing for tracy. When I get back over to my desk tracy is trying switch my desk and her desk. So I get really mad and I take out a bunch of folders and put then standing up around my desk (like you did in 2nd grade when you didnt want people looking at you) Anyway this started a big deal in the office cause now everyone wanted their own office. This is the weird part (well I think its weird). Three of my friends came up to me afterwards (and different times) and said stuff to me...I dont know what but it wasnt good cause it left me feeling faint and terrified. One person was a friend from grade school, the other a friend from high school and then the final one a friend from college. It was really sad cause they were all people I admire and then to have them tell you that they are disapointed in you, was not only embaressing but heartwrenching. I don't know what happened next...the next thing was I was in my dorm room (maybe this was a new dream) but again, it wasnt really my dorm room, it was a small room on the third floor of the quad (where almost every class I have ever had has been) and I was tired of it so I switched my room with another that was farther down the hall. Well I loved my new room but there was a tiny problem -- it doubled as the bathrooms. So even though it was better than my old room, there were stalls in the middle of my room and then all of my stuff was pushed to the sides. I was getting really annoyed because people kept coming in to use the bathroom. Then for a second I was sorta ...hmm...let's say outside myself...I was standing in the room with tons of people, watching myself and then I (the one I was watching) flipped.. I didnt get all crazy but I was yelling at everyone (which I would never do in real life...at least not for a reason like this...I figure I am the one who chose the room right?) well then back to my self that is standing with the crowd I was watching and I felt pity for myself and I wondered why people didn tjust leave for a little while. Hmm, so then the next thing I knew everyone was gone and I am back in one piece. ThenSteph comes and Knocks on my door and says "we need you to come into work cause its lunchtime and we're understaffed and its a lot busier than we thought it would be" so I go with her to the caf and when we get there I see sonya (who was also there to work) and we chat for a little bit and the I see a note on my uniform saying that I broke the tube...or was it the valve...anyway I got really upset cause I knew that I had done nothing like that...so I go to see barb and before anything happned my damn alarm went off. My eyes popped open and I actually said "shit" outloud.
So anyway....my dreams are always very clear and I usually remember them all, but these two were weird (and really long) I am leaving out some other important details but thats because I have every intention of keeping those my own. :-D Cheers!
weird dream
Another Song
This song gives me goosebumps and I love it to death! It was on Scrubs last night and before that I hadn't heard it in a long time! It was my theme song my senior year of high school and I'm thinking that it's time to make it my theme song again! The lyrics are amazing! (IMHO)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ga52rbu7dx8 <-- go here to watch it!
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone, someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited in a chapel yard
And catches a boquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
Chorus
And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united
Healthy or insane
Chorus
And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Even when you've paid enough,
Been put upon or been held up,
With every single memory of
the good or bad, faces of luck.
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
Chorus
But to be yourself is all that you can do, eh
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do, eh
To be yourself is all that you can do
And to be yourself is all that you can
To be yourself is all that you can
To be yourself is all that you can do
Foo Fighters - Best of You
I’m your fool
Everyone’s got their chains to break
Holdin’ you
Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone in onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You'd die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
Your trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
I’ve got another confession my friend
I’m no fool
I’m getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new
Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...
T-T
You know that feeling where your heart has litterally been ripped out of your chest, thrown in a vise and sqeezed until all it's juices come gushing out, then it's fed to the dogs, regurgitated and then the dogs eat it again....I feel about a million times worse than that.
I dunno, just stuff
Ok, as much as my family really annoys me, I've decided that I wasnt ready to come back to school. I mean this might sound horrible but the thought even popped into my head that maybe I should've looked into schools in the cities. Seriously, I never realized how much I love being in a city, it's just so convenient and I love all the different people....and I miss driving already. Plus I realized that my *3* friends (yes that's right Sonya I actually have three!! That's more than I thought ;-) ) are completely different from my ....3...friends up here...wow...3 and 3.....hmm interesting....anyway... I didn't even realize that until now. Now this doesnt mean I favor one side over the other, in fact I think I need both sides because theyre so different it's just I wasn't ready to leave the friends at home yet (even if you guys don't think I am exciting mwa hahah....that was directed especially to laura).
I don't thinK I am making much sense cause I don't have the will right now to reread what I wrote.
Long story short: Why can't I just have all my friends in one place. I could keep them locked in my closet and whenever I wanted to play I could just pull them out (wow even I think that's creepy)
Grr, I miss Saint Paul :-( ...I even miss Minneapolis.
It's sad cause I figured I never would...especially cause I dont get that attatched to things..well maybe my dog but that's because "he doesnt judge me and loves me unconditionally" awwwww! He's my baby munchkin!!! Now I miss my dog.
Well I am pretty mch just writing to write, nothing too awesome...so thats about it...now I am going to go back and listen to...hmmm...who should I listen to? How about more Dave Matthews! Fine go ahead and groan!! I don't care! They're good music! Right Tracy! Yeah! And he has sexy eyebrows that bounce! (don't ask)
Nothingness
Good news! I have my classes for next semester yay!
German 311, Comm 105, Comm 205 and Art 211! And I have at least one friend in every class! How much fun is that! So I am excited about it!
Hmm, see I don't really update anymore cause my life is SO boring. You know I wish we could do more things. Like On weekends, but we really can't. That is the disadvantage of going to school in a hick town is that the only thing around is bars. And I'm not exactly 21 so that makes it very difficult to do that...lol...Plus I am a poor nothing so even if there were more things to do its not like I could pay for them...oh and another thing, see we could go outside and do some fun stuff except for the fact that it is Minnesota and COLD!
:-( I am so bored, I am always bored!!!! I need more things to do! I am ancy all the time!!! Why does everyone have to have such a busy schedule :-(
Oh I've been feeling nostaligic lately, like gradeschool, early highschool nostalgic, I dunno why...Oh! I think it was because I was listening to some music thatI first heard around that time...
Hmmm, ok you guys I think we need more people in our group, we need recuits!Come on! WE CAN HAZE THEM!!!
It's late and I'm still up.
I can't sleep - at all!
You know I was all ready to go to sleep and I was even in bed, and I was so comfortable....then it happened....my brain switched on and I can't turn it off....and I am so hungry - I dont know why, I just am.
Well I would share what I have on my mind and what's keeping me up, but unfortunatly I won't. Why? Because *huge sigh* it's just something stupid and if I explained it it would be a waste because I know what everyone would say, and even though it would be very sweet of everyone to try and make me feel better, it wouldn't help. AND because everyone was trying to make me feel better and I told them that it wasn't helping, I would feel worse because now they would feel bad that they couldn't help....................... *even bigger sigh*
God! do I have ISSUES! Who the fuck cares what everyone thinks!
(groan) You know people say that but I wonder if thats ever true? You know... that no one cares about what everyone thinks...ha!....If there's a person who says that they're either a stuck up asswipe or lying...and I don't think I'm stuck up..lol.
Man......I am stuck b/t a rock and a fricken boulder.
*another long and drawn out sigh*
.....I'm still hungry
Rette Mich ~ Rescue Me ~ Tokio Hotel
Oh I am so awesome (and totally not a language dork *michael*) I just spent the last 2 hours translating a song from german to english using my superior language skills. Yeah I know what you're thinking, it took you two whole hours.....yes indeed it did. But I did a really good job I think! I even researched and made sure that certain phrases translated correctly, like "Ich schaff's nicht ohne dich" if directly translated means "I didn't navigate without you" but because I am all knowing I knew that the meaning was "I can't get by without you". God I am so awesome. :-D. Anyway I was putzing around looking for some German music that I could listen to and I found this song. I've heard of Tokio Hotel before and I laughed at them, but I really do like this song, so go me! (P.S. oh and should the mood ever so strike --> listen to it! Yay!)
(P.P.S. Of course keep in mind that nothing directly translated will sound perfect, I was afraid that if I made it sound more natural it wouldn't be "right", meaning it would start to lose it's original meaning)
(P.P.P.S. If anyone knows more German than I do and finds something wrong, then tell me! I's love/need to know!)

How I am ticked off about the state of my room
Ok, so this weekend wasn't too bad ( I went home for four days). Still it lacked excitement. I'm glad to be back at school. Wow my parents redid our basement and it looks amazing! It went from this nasty brown carpet to this nice berber? is that what its called? And then they painted our walls a nice warm color. I dont know what its called. I want to say grey but it looks more brown, but its not tan or grey. any way It looks really nice! I was really tiocked when I saw that my room was a mess. They moved all the stuff from the family room (the room that was redone in the basement) to my room (which is also in the basement) I had everything so perfectly neat when i left so that when i would come home it would be a nice CLEAN place to relax...ok yeah...my room is not that big and my dad had our TV in there, our bookshelves and the entertainment system stuff inthere. I actually had to jump over stuff to get to my bed! Anyway that REALLY irritated me, especially cause I know that my dad will not vacuum, or have everything the way i had it before i left for school....grr, not to mention i found a whole bunch of scatches in the walls that I had painted only a short while ago!! AND my shades was ripped!!!! AND I have this nice dragonfly thingy thats very fragile and it stickes to a morrior or window and that was on the floor being squashed by a speaker! Why the hell do people have to be so careless ( and I would say guys but I dont want to start anything ^ _ ^) anyway I'm all worked up now. I am exhausted and my nose is all stuffed again, which is so irritating. ANywa I am going to bed cause I cant stay awake any longer!
I was looking at some stuff and this song reminded me of a certain situation a while ago
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassion is in my nature
Tonight is our last stand
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever come around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
(But you didn't understand)
Now fix yourself
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Yes I know, people hate it when other people post lyrics...
Ok, yeah I understand it's annoyinh when people post lyrics....buuuuuuuuut, that's not going to stop me! 
Especially since I am lazy when it comes to typing -- obviosly becuse of al my spelling mistakes.
Anyway, I have an new obsession! Staind. I forgot about how much I love them. Instead of their music being all -- oh the world hates me. (which yeah some songs are) It's more like -- Ha! I made it and screw you for being a dick! (oh I am so not a lady! ) I love that!
Staind
"Yesterday"
You don't know what you've put me through.
That's okay, I’ve forgiven you.
But in some way, I hope it fucks with you,
Hope it fucks with you.
That I’m okay and I’ve made it through,
But who’s to say what you’re going through?
I’ll say no names, though I’ve wanted to.
Isn't it strange how it seems like...
Yesterday, a boy and already afraid,
Locked deep inside, my place to hide.
To hide from how you made me feel.
And i wonder how's your brother,
Did he end up fucked up like me,
Lost in himself, crying for help?
It's safe to say…
I learned to live without a pride,
Just a shell, with me stuck inside.
A prison, not a place to hide,
Not a place to hide.
But I’m okay and I’ve made it through,
But who’s to say what you’re going through?
I’ll say no names, though I’ve wanted to.
Isn't it strange how it seems like...
Yesterday, a boy and already afraid,
Locked deep inside, my place to hide.
To hide from how you made me feel.
And i wonder how's your brother,
Did he end up fucked up like me,
Lost in himself, crying for help?
It's safe to say…
Yesterday, a boy and already afraid,
Locked deep inside, my place to hide.
To hide from how you made me feel.
And i wonder how's your brother,
Did he finally pull through like me,
Finding himself, not needing help?
I’d like to say...
Just some more lyrics here....
This song is about the four parts of Ireland. Ulster, the fourth green field, is the one "in bondage." One of my favorite songs..lol...I now I always say that.
"What did I have?"
Said the fine old woman.
"What did I have?"
This proud old woman did say
"I had four green fields
Each of them a jewel
But strangers came
And tried to take 'em from me,
I had four strong sons
They fought to save my jewels
They fought and died,
And that was my grief," said she.
"Long time ago,"
Said the fine old woman.
"Long time ago"
This proud old woman did say
"There was war and death,
Plundering and pillage,
My children starved
By mountain, valley and sea,
And their wailing cries,
They shook the very heavens,
And my four green fields
Ran red with their blood," said she.
"What have I now?"
Said the fine old woman.
"What have I now?"
This proud old woman did say
"I have four green fields,
One of them's in bondage,
In stranger's hands,
That tried to take 'em from me,
But my sons have sons,
As brave as were there fathers,
And my four green fields
Will bloom once again," said she.
The Twins are Central Division Champs!
It's crazy here! Everywhere you go people are talking about the Twins. I love it! I am so happy that we're Central Champs, especially since SOME people weren't even sure if we'd break .500! Losers. Anyway I am so happy to be winning! I am still nervous. There are some awesome teams this year!
Ok this is something totally different than baseball. You know what irks me? Making small talk. I hate it. Especially when you have an instance like today when a guy sits next to you and insists on making conversation. There is nothing wrong with pretending we don't exist. Let's just sit quietly and stare at the back of the heads of the people sitting in front of us.
Hmmm, maybe it's because I think that people only talk to you because they have an alterior (it's alterior right...not interior..lol...Well I have no idea!) motive. I do! I am so paranoid sometimes. I swear people are just waiting to pull a prank on me....you know put some kind of a nasty, insulting sticker on my backpack. Isn't that sad!
SO In a way I do kinda feel bad for the guy. I probably came off as a real bitchy person. But come on I was horribly picked on in grade school! (Yes, I blame the Seventh and Eighth grade for everything). Give me some credit I'm trying!
Anyway, sorry to those people that were prolly just being nice and I blew them off. I didn't mean to be so NYAH.
SO I'm going home on Wednesday. Not too excited about that. I don't like going home. There's nothing to do! I do get to see my puppy! (Emily, he's almost 11, when are you going to quit calling him a puppy?)
Ok, I'm bored. I'm going to go and turn on Trading Spaces before I go to work. I hope we're having something tasty tonight!
Nothing exciting...Just lyrics

"Some Say"
Some say we're never meant to grow up
I'm sure they never knew enough
I know the pressures won't go away
It's too late
Find out the difference somehow
It's too late to even have faith
Don't think things will ever change
You must be dreaming
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I'll take it all
It's so easy after all
Believe me 'cause now's the time to try
Don't wait, the chance will pass you by
Time's up to figure it out
You can't say it's too late
Seems like everything we knew
Turned out were never even true
Don't trust, things will never change
You must be dreaming (dreaming)
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I'll take it all
It's so easy after all
Some say we're better off without
Knowing what life is all about
I'm sure they'll never realize the way
It's too late
Somehow it's different everyday
In some ways it never fades away
Seems like it's never gonna change
I must be dreaming (dreaming, dreaming)
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I'll take it all
It's so easy after all
Believe me, it's alright
It's so easy after all
Believe me, it's alright
It's so easy after all
GO TWINS!!!! WE'RE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS!! WE'RE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS!!
Oh in case you didn't know.
WE'RE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!
WE'RE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!
Ok, so I think now is the appropriate time to tell you about my obsession with baseball.
Ever since I can remember, baseball has been a huge thing in my house. I have been a Minnesota Twins fan since I was born, which was, In fact, the year the Twins won their first world series. The year after my brother was born they won again.
Ok so when I was three ( '91 season) I went to my first game and my mom still has the stub saved in my baby book and learned the entire "Cheer for the MN Twins Today" song.
In our basement, one wall is covered in Twins memrobelia (sp?) from Kent Hrbeck's autograph on a bar napkin to beer cans to framed baseball sox....who I'm guess, belonged to someone.
Anyway, I am very proud of my team! I was always a fan even in the "dark years" (lol) when we sucked. (So don't you dare call me a fair weather fan or I'll kick you in the balls...yeah ow! )
This summer my mom and I went to Chicago to watch the Twins take on the the White Sox and I was so happy when we won both games! (I'm sorry but I loathe the White Sox. If I offend anybody...well....I think the White Sox are really sore losers to be honest)
My favorite players are Torii Hunter and Joe Mauer ( I feel obligated to call Joe one of my favs..lol...those who I went to highschool with will understand ...but I do still like him because he's an awesome player). I really hope both of them come back next year, but so far, I don't think Torri will and I think Mauer will leave cause someone will offer him big bucks.
I also love the Red Sox -- Primarily because I loathe the Yankees about as much as I loathe the White Sox....but come on, you had your moment so now it's MY turn!! ...er..I mean....our turn.
I have to admit, I also really hope Detroit does well. If we get knocked out of the playoffs then I'm cheering for Detroit. If the Tigers and the Twins get knocked out I will be so sad. I am tired of the same teams in the world series. It's just boring.
Oh now to the good part. Well I found out last week that my mom bought seasons tickets for next year with her bonus. SO that means that we have first dibs and playoff and world series tickets! So naturally (my mom is the one with the major obsession and is responsible for mine) she bought those too. SO if we Clinch the division title i get to go to the 1st playoff game! I remember I went to the playoff game a couple years ago when we won the division...and loe and behold who do we play? The God-Damn Yankeess (again if I offend anyone, I am sorry but my hatred runs deep) and we loose. Poo.
Anyway I am a little worried about the post-season. I mean, we had a bad year as far as pitchers go. Don't get me wrong, we have some amzing pitchers this year!......but 2 of our three tops pitchers are out for the season.....hmm, well, that is really not good. So that worries me.
lmao, this is prolly one of my longest blogs.
Ok, so nuff said. I am just keeping my fingers crossed! GO TWINS!
