ya gotta believe

I believe in the church of baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones.I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic's rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball. And it's never boring, which makes it like sex...It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried them all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball - Annie Savoy Bull Durham

*&^$^#%&

j's school just called again. seems he is still at it.

yesterday i took away his online priviledges. if he doesn't earn enough points at school today he will have no comp and no tv. it doesn't seem to matter. and anyone who has ever grounded a kid knows who is really being punished!

so now....now, they are going to keep him after school whenever he doesn't get his work done. apparently the kids hate this and this should help. i doubt it. he can manipulate any system they can create. but the best part? guess who gets to drive a friggin hour on rte 1 in rush hour traffic to pick his ass up when this happens? yup. me. and c. because there is no bus service for this kind of thing.

sonofafrigginbitch!

and support on this one? nope. you see someone has to work for a living while i do nothing all day. ^#$%&@#^%$&@$% so he can't talk right now and i will just have to handle this.

fuck.
