I'm sorry, but I had to add this picture. I know I said I didn't really care, but it looks so sad :(

Twelve Years and Six Schools Later
And the Red Sox finally clinched the AL East. Thank ya, Jesus. Thank ya! The last time they won the division, I was a 3rd grader at Manassah E. Bradley Elementary School in East Boston, and didn't give two shits about them. Since their last division title in 1995, my parents had another kid, we moved to North Carolina, I've gone to six different schools, and I've grown from a child to a young woman. That's just crazy, man. It was a long time coming but hey, I'll take it. Shit. Dice-K pitched great last night, so kudos for him. I almost thought the Sox would have to wait another day to clinch, but thanks to the Baltimore Orioles' amazing and greatly appreciated comeback, the Yankees lost.
Okay, enough about the Sox. So, I'd gone to bed pretty late last night after starting a shitty paper on sociological theory that's due Monday (Yeah, I'm working on papers on Friday nights; I have no friends and no life :( ). But anyhoo, I just so happened to emerge out of my slumber and saw David Wright talking on "SportsCenter" or whatever. Damn, I felt so bad for the guy. He's still one of my baseball boyfriends or whatever I called him before, but it honestly pained me to watched that interview. He looked and sounded like he was about to cry, and for good reason, mind you. I don't know the stats off the top of my head and I'm too lazy to look them up, but the Mets have lost like, 11 of their last 15 games or something along those lines. They're currently in a series with the Marlins, a team to whom they've lost like 10 in a row. Ah, love that attempted use of good grammar, huh? I mean, this team (Mets) were leading the damn NL East division you might as well say since Spring Training ended and here they are, the last few days of the season, and they're not leading anything. No division, no Wild Card, nothing. If the season ended today, they'd be out. That's a tough pill to swallow, man. Like Buttermaker from "Bad News Bears" once said: "Baseball's hard. You can love it but, believe me, it don't always love you back". If I really really cared, I'd cry for them. Hey, if the Red Sox can muster up the greatest comeback in postseason history, maybe the Mets can win the next few games and hope the Phillies (who are leading the division) lose. **shrugs shoulders**

Elation
Written on: September 2, 2007
Wow. I don't even really know where to begin right now. I'm shaking, but it's an excited shake because I'm happy. Clay Buccholz, rookie for the BoSox, pitched a no-hitter against the O's last night. It was only his 2nd ML start so if this is any indication of how his career will be, good for him. I got in from wherever I was and turned to ESPNews, where I saw he had no hits through 5 innings. I decided to turn to the game and alternated between watching that and doing my homework. I was on edge the entire time and tried not to get too excited about it, or pay too much attention to it. But I definitely had to turn away during the 9th inning, but I turned back in time to see Buccholz strike out Nick Markakis. I was freakin' ELATED. And the only thing that sucks about it is that I had no one in which to partake in the joy. My family and most of my friends pay no attention whatsoever to baseball (or to sports in general) so I mean, I had to bask in the glory by my lonesome. But it was all right. Think it's bout time for me to purchase another Sox ballcap, so I need to get on that. I have to tinkle, but I don't feel like getting up. I finally got my oil changed yesterday, so my vehicle is now good to go. Would be nice to have a new CD player, but that's gonna have to wait. I have way too many bills to pay. My grandmother had a birthday party for herself yesterday, and it was pretty interesting. I usually wouldn't hang around old people like that, but basically everyone on that side of the family was there, my nephews, cousins, etc. We had a good time though, and the food was delicious. Is it wrong that I already hate school and we've only been in class for roughly two weeks? Maybe if all my classes were interesting, I wouldn't give a damn. But guess what? They're not. I'm not even gonna open this can of worms again because I've already talked about that in previous entries. I'm mad that The Departed is on Cinemax now. I love that movie, though. I have it at home, but I hardly watch it. I've noticed that once I buy a movie I really like, I'll wear it out for about a week and then never watch it again. I've watched the movie like, twice since I bought it though (b/c I'd seen it a million times prior). Now with CDs, that's a different story. I know when I got Amy Winehouse's Back to Black album, I freaking killed it for about two months straight, and I would probably still be listening to it if my car CD player worked.
