I'm bringing Xanga back - drop a comment if you're with me!

On Hiatus.

Happy Holidays.

Freaking tired. In case anyone asks me how I feel.

Luckily I'm one of the few who hasn't succumbed to the latest round of colds or flus. We'll attribute that to clean living and wonder who's gonna be fooled by that. It annoys the hell out of being coughed on all day. At least cover your fucking mouths. Rude people.
 
Catching up on laundry I surmise I'm a lil short on clothes hangers. Sucks. Big Lots had them on sale for .79 cents for a 10 pack but I missed that and ended up paying 2.49 for the exact same 10 pack next door at Rite Aid. Actually 3 of them. Lesson learned. If it's on sale jump on it. I'm still short clothes hangers. Maybe I needed 50 instead of 30. I have a lot of shit.

Yesterday was my oldest friend's B-day. I saw him earlier in the day but didn't mention it to him. Mostly cuz I hadn't gone out and gotten him a gift yet. After Plan A of the original Devil May Cry didn't pan out I went in search of a suitable Plan B and found it at Borders. How To Make Love Like A Porn Star.

I went to drop it off and caught him at his apartment eating a cake from Ralphs that he'd bought for himself, pretty much resigned to the fact that everyone had forgotten about his B-day. Kinda sad but I think I made his day. The cake was good too.

We talked about one of his favorite subjects. The first time we met. He never gets tired of sharing that story. The short version is that we were on opposing sides in a pickup game of tackle football at the beach. I think the teams were drawn up geographically. Those north of Pico vs the people from south of Pico. I played Quarterback for my side while he was one of the pass rushers for the opposition. In his words it was hate at first sight. I guess I grew on him. Like a fungus.

I haven't blogged much of late since I'm caught up writing a new story. Once it's done I'll go back and edit out names, locations, stuff like that. They may end up being kinda embarrasing to some of the principal characters if I use their real names.

A great pic that Bill's fan Ming took after our last game. Lucky me. I got to see all these guys again at practice tonight. That's the new haircut I hate.



L~R Mike looks miserable since he can't play anymore this season. You need 2 knees and 2 shoulders to play. Right now he's going with 1 and 1.

Hap looks happy. He came off his deathbed to play and would get my vote for Player of the Game.

Bill looks happy cuz he played well too and held it down at 2nd base.

I'm pretending to look happy even though I sucked. I dunno why my eyes are closed. Maybe I thought if I threw on a sweatshirt and closed my eyes nobody would recognize me and say, "isn't that the nigga who sucks?"
