all i can say is, with a 2-0 game lead, the 'Sox ought to win this one. and im glad. id be just as glad if it were the other way around, as long as the best record in baseball's regular season doesnt mean squat in the post season. while we'd all like to know that the best team in each league is going at it... that doesnt always translate into an ordinal grouping by win/loss columns. on paper, in run production especially... st louis is a stronger team to favor. but. the nl central was pretty weak this year. where as the al east is pretty well contended every year. besides, how many times did the cardinals play the yankees??? yeah.. with the richest payroll in the game, they are a team that year in and year out buys out talent from everyone else.. not to win.. but to keep others from winning, making them win. and the Sox out lasted that. its a great story. one id like to see the Red Sox give a happy ending too. oh. and i do hate the cardinals.

other random thoughts.

i wish people held real jobs, all the college friends of mine have no idea what a real job is like... to work it while putting yourself through school. cafeteria isnt a real job. uni library isnt real job. try going out in the real job market, getting a job, being responsible for a company's assets.. and prove to them you can convert that into a profit. its much more difficult than people realize, then trying to just change a shirt and sit in a chair, and feel completely motivated in both worlds, once back in the classroom is not so simple. as much as i loathe the work environment im in, i detest the principles of the modern college teaching approach in america more. but ive done well, ive missed 2 classes all semester... both on account of work and not being able to leave, not that i didnt want to go. both times homework was done, in my bag; just i never got to leave on time to get to class ----- people younger than me should shut their mouths, and take some ques from someone who has been around the block about these things. ---- cars with tire gashes big enough to stick your palm in, should be leaking air... but curiously... arent. ----- sometimes i miss being a kid at home, especially when the weather changes. ive always felt much more comfortable at home, in a warm house, with my parents around, than here in the cold apartment by myself. i guess it was the simple things i took for granted growing up ----- the price of gasoline is rediculous. its gone up about 20 cents in two weeks. its still cheaper than what it is in 90% of the world... and yes, even soda is still a bit cheaper in this country; per gallon, than gasoline; yet that doesnt at all make it right for a 15% hike in two weeks time. also add in that oil production went UP at the last cartel/opec meeting. ----- election season has grown old on me. ive tired of the radio ads, print ads, web ads, spam ads, phone spam ads, etc. really... is any amout of advertisement really going to change people's minds about voting bush or kerry at this point. i remember reading some study in an intro class long, long ago about how early on people actually make their decision in elections. kinda wonder how true that really is, or how pointless all this advertising really is. ----- i cant remember the last time i wore tennis shoes. i saw my pair in the bedroom today, and they have dust on them. DUST. ----- my blog now has 206 posts. crazy. i remember the night i made the first post. and its turned into this long, turning ramble of a thread. ----- never stick your finger between a safe door and its frame. when the safe weighs like 600 pounds.. the door prolly weights 60... a finger bone isnt all that much to stop it when you get it wedged like a door stop between the two. yes it fucking hurts. yes, i have a crease in my finger from it ----- frozen windows suck asss. scraping windows is something ill never miss about winter.. or driving like Ace Ventura when you finally say, fuckit and give up scraping. ----- i thought pimpels went away after like 14. i feel like such a retard with this one on my shoulder that i found in the shower today. ----- why make scented toilet paper? i mean, its not going to make a difference in the ambient smell; and why change the scent of shit.... unless you plan on doing something with said beautified shit.... then thats really messed up too. ----- 3 cheers for the lady having her baby at work. henry james was 8 some odd pounds. hes a little bugger. always gets me how small the fingernails are on newborns. like the size of a pin head. incredible. also like kids who have hair when they are born. equally perplexing is why it falls out in a month ----- 12 cans of beer scarcely lasted me 3 days. i dont remember drinking it all. ----- why is it the one raging hot girl you know, always ends up hating you the most? shell talk to anyone and everyone else, flirt away with them all... but when i come around its; "what." "do you want something, or what" ouch. ----- for that matter, how is it EVERY girl i know seems to hate me deeply? i cant remember the last date i was on.... cant remember the last time a girl smiled at me out of genuine feeling... nor can i remember how i did it. some days i just want to die. atleast id never have any more expectations to try to fill, only to be unable to fill them. i think everyone else my age is on that road to marriage... and here i am trying to remember what the hell i did to make a girl smile at me the last time.... *sigh* it hurts some times. ------ why is it i keep rethinking what you said to me, years later now? why do i care so much? and why dont i care about other things? and how come i still feel like i was short changed for being written off; yet i was prepared to write you off and you beat me to it? ----- cooking is simple. who cant handle this? i mean, really noodles into hot water. pour on sauce. really, spagetti isnt tough; how do you muck it all up? or claim not to know how to do it?
