ya gotta believe

NY Mets 2006 NL East Champions!!

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

over emotional?

went to see polar express this afternoon. great movie, especially if you are seeing it with a 10yr old who isn't ready to give up believing.

but i did cry through the whole thing. no really, the whole movie.

in overload mode right now. it'll pass, always does, but damn i have procrastinated myself into a big ol' corner and my ADD is making it so that i can't seem to get past the list stage of things. but i do rock at list making.

oh, and small side note. the word "wanker" is just not used enough anymore. go ahead try it out....yell it at the person who makes the illegal left every day and makes everyone else's morning drive hell because they are sooooo much better than the rest of us...or something.

oh, and to add to the emotional melt-down, i apparently tried to kill my son this afternoon. yup, get the trophy ready. mom of the year...
