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

marking my territory

so, i realize that i haven't been at rehearsal in a while--a few months even--but that doesn't mean that some little chippy can strut on in and take my spot. there is a pecking order here and you, my dear, are at the bottom.
so, while you seem to think that i was sitting in "your seat," it appears that you are sadly misinformed. it is mine, all mine. so don't sit and glare at me because frankly, i don't give a damn.
and don't...seriously don't...ask me if i want to be invited out with your little group because sweetie, they are really my little group and will kick your ass out in a second. you are a replacement. a scab.
move on.

sheesh. what do i have to do? pee in the corners?
