Funny
So, I just updated about the Red Sox and I just found out they won. Great. It seems like justice is served though because the top story on espn.com wasn't how the Red Sox won, it was that A-Rod was opting out of his contract. Take that, bandwagoning Red Sox fans.
Southern California in flames
It's been a long time since I have written in this blog. It's not like I haven't had the desire to, it's just that other things have gotten in the way. You know, school, family, etc etc. Here are some random thoughts:
1. I finished reading "Thirteen Moons" by Charles Frazier last week and I absolutely loved it. I loved his first book "Cold Mountain" and I loved this one almost as much or more. When I read a book that is set in another time period, I'm always amazed at how much research must go into writing a book like that. I guess that's why it takes years to write some of these books.
2. I don't think it's happened yet, but the Red Sox are about to win the World Series. If there was one team I didn't want to win it, it was the Red Sox. I can sum of my feelings in one picture:
Did you see the Red Sox fans' reaction to J.D. Drew's home run? It was like they had been cheering this guy on all season long when the reality is that they had been killing him all season long. Look, the guy spent like four seasons in Los Angeles, so I know what boring, dull, heartless player he is. I'm just saying, don't act like he's your savior because he hits a meaningless grand slam in a blowout game.
Prior to 2002 or whenever they won the World Series, Red Sox fans had complained about the Yankees always winning and spending an unholy amount on marginal talent. Congratulations, Red Sox, you are the new Yankees. You have the second highest payroll in baseball, people all over the country are wearing your team's hat and shirts because everyone loves a winning team, your "fans" are obnoxious, and the majority of people outside of Boston would appreciate it if you would all just go away. I just can't wait for all the Celtics fans to come out of the woodwork now that they might have a respectable team. Sports fans are just funny that way.
By the way, I didn't used to feel this way about the Red Sox. I really didn't mind them until I read Bill Simmons' book and his 8,000,000th column about the Red Sox. I think that is what ruined it for me. There are still a few great things about Boston, namely the Dropkick Murphys (even though they need to zip it about the Red Sox as well), Big D and the Kids Table, and these flamers:
3. Well, after watching a plethora of new tv shows this fall I have decided that none of them are really worth my weekly attention. I guess the most intriguing out of the lot was "Pushing Daisies." The main guy reminds me a lot of Jimmy Stewart. I also still watch "Back to You" and "Cavemen." That's right, Cavemen. It's so bad, it's almost good.
Well, I had planned on writing more, but I can't think of anything else right now. I promise to think about doing better to try to update this blog more. Primero Dios.
