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

i is an english major
i will just sit here repeatedly thumping my head on the desk for a bit.
just opened the file with my personal statement for grad school. i thought i would reread it now that i have some distance, a little perspective. there's a f*cking typo! that's right, the personal statement that i worked and worked and worked on. the one i proofread a gajillion times and handed to profs, etc. the one i checked over until my eyes bled.
and it isn't a little one. it's huge. and it looks as if i don't know what tense of the word to use when in reality it's a typo. and it's in the opening paragraph. and i think i am going to cry for a couple of hours.
*bangs head again*
