I'll be brief. This day was pretty frustrating, my head hurts, and I just want to sleep. First of all, see my brothers post about the phillies, i share his feelings, they are angering me (besides the win tonight); passover is the worst holiday ever. I swear to god some rabbi and baker made a deal in the 400s to make life miserable by not letting us eat risen bread. My dad brought home a list of rules for passover today to confirm it's bullshit content. You know if the holiday didn't cause violent shitting i wouldn't care as much as i do but i'm already fed up with it. Then i had another boring day at work which was topped off with the internet going slow. Ugh. Listen the real reason i came in here was to upload my softball stats which can be found here (need microsoft excel or an excel reader). Thank god I'm not showing fielding stats.

Yesterday i went to the phillies game for college night. It was nice, i got to hang out with people i havent hung out with for awhile and I had a pretty good time despite the 7-4 loss to the worst team in baseball (their first road win in 7 months). I refuse to make this a long post because right now this day is already pissing me off but let me just run down a few stories.
First as we're walking to our seats we see Ed Wade, the Phillies dreaded and hated General Manager, i point him out and everyone gets the bright idea to get our hats signed that they gave out at the game. Most of us did, but one person, Matt McGuigan, refused to get his hat signed because he absolutely loathes Wade. Later on we blamed this on the loss (and Matt McGuigan blamed me -- not because i pointed out wade, just for being at the game).

There is this kid named Billy, he'll be my roommate next year because i'm not going to Australia. Anyway this kid says the first thing that comes to his mind always. We use to kid with him that he has a word limit for the day because he talks so much, but he says some fucking hilarious things sometimes. Yesterday, out of no where he starts saying that if he had money he'd build a Neverland Ranch. Then i questioned that by saying "Why because you want to sleep with little boys?" and he ammended his statement to "I wish I had money, the first thing I'd buy is a salad dressing company, so I could make Neverland Ranch." I promised him I'd quote him on that and put it on here. There were other quotes that i said I'd try to remember but I failed again. Another quick story with Billy is that we all signed up for credit cards to get free t-shirts and i told him if you put down fake information than the card can not be sent to you. So when i'm filling it out i ask the girl running the boothe what the day was and she said 4/20 almost like i betrayed her. Billy then says "Duh" and she laughed like it was the funniest thing ever. Anyway, Billy puts down for his social security card 123-45-6789 and they dont ask for ID or anything and she takes it and gives him the shirt. This girl must have been stoned out of her mind. 'Nuff said.
If you noticed my away message from earlier today as we were leaving the game we were walking past the parking lot where someone in the group i was with saw a girl (a hot one at that) urinating between 3 parked cars. I then try to make her regret that situation by hooting and holaring at her. She then stands up, zips up, waves out of embarassment and begins walking away. Nothing like making people regret urinating outside. When i told dan this story last night he promptly said "I didn't know you were into that," implying that I have some kind of urination fetish. I later noted that it was because she did not have the 4th car to completely block her that I actually yelled at her.

Besides playing a fly ball off my head today I decided to update with my brother's website spin-off of my website. It can be found here. You can wish him a happy birthday as well. Now i'm off to ice my head.
Update: Dan updates his site pretty regularly so as you can see I've made a permanent link at the top for him. I wonder how long he'll keep updating daily for. I mean eventually you'll tire of reading about "Today..." Sorry for the stab dan, but you shouldn't have compared my posts to George W. Bush while you're posts are like John Kerry [IM Conversation, not posted].

It's been awhile hasn't it? Yeah. No real excuse other than nothing to talk about. But something happened to me yesterday that I couldn't have passed on talking about. I come home from work, normal time, i have a softball game (see link at bottom of post) so I just want to eat and then get ready to go. I get changed into my softball atire and i hear the doorbell. I go out there and there is an african american gentleman standing there. I go out and talk to him and he says he's with a nonprofit orginatization for inner-city kids. Now keep in mind I'm in the suburbs now, not the city, this place is quiet, and if a car gets stolen it makes front page news in the local paper. So back to the story, he's telling me that he wants me to subscribe to some magazines to help raise money for his organization. I am looking through the magazines when I notice a cop driving down my street and stop suddenly. He walks down my driveway and comes up to us. Here is a sumarized conversation:

Officer: How are you doing sir? I'm Officer ----- of the Upper Dublin Police Office. Are you aware solicitation is illegal here sir? The fine is $500 and up to 90 days in jail.
Guy: No, sir I was not aware of that, I-
Officer: What are you selling here?
Guy: I'm selling magazines to gain points so I can go on to teach kids.
Officer: Do you have any ID on you sir?
*Guy hands ID to officer*
Officer: These are some pretty thick glasses you have on here, why aren't you wearing them?
Guy: Uh, well those broke.
*Officer calls in ID numbers to station*
Officer: You see sir, we can't have solicitation because if we let you do it, we'd have to let others do it, and in the past this has raised crime rates. Even some of our canadian geese have been killed. Upper Dublin is a plethora of violence. Isn't that right sir [referring to me]?
My note: When he said this I didn't know if it was a joke or not and the way he said plethora... i nearly broke out laughing.
Me: Uhhh.... yeah?
Officer: Yeah. Where are you from anyway? Utah?
My note: At this point I started laughing again, Utah? There are like 3 black people in all of Utah.
Guy: Detroit, sir.
Officer: Yeah it's always you guys from out west.
My note: Detroit? Out west? We are in south eastern PA. Of course it's out west. Hell you could say Lancaster and it'd be west of us.
Officer: Uh, sir, we have no matches with your ID. Is this fake?
Guy: No, it's real.
Officer: Do you have any other ID in that big wallet of yours? It's a big wallet isn't it? [Again talking to me]
Guy: Uhh... well not really, I have my social security card. Is that ok?
Officer: Yeah that's fine. Do you have any outstanding warrants out for your arrest?
Guy: No sir, I've paid all of my tickets.
*Officer calls in Social Security Number to Headquarters*
Guy: I should let you know, I don't have a driver's license because it's susspended. I was arrested for DUI.
Officer: Did you pay all of your fines and finish up with parole?
Guy: Yes sir.
Officer: Have you been arrested for anything else?
Guy: Yes, felonious assault.
Officer: What were you on during your DUI? Drugs?
Guy: No sir, alcohol
*At this point 3 more police cars roll up*
Officer: Can you follow me up to the top of the driveway sir? Sir, you can go back inside. [referring to me again]
Me: Uhhh... Ok.

At this point I went upstairs, and watched the guy get put in the back of the police car and was driven away. I guess I felt bad for him. I mean, it could have been a scam but i really don't think it was. His documentation on the documents he gave me looked real. I'm not saying that it wasnt a scam, i just really don't think it was. The guy was a very nice guy, he didnt talk back to the officer, he answered all of the questions. Whatever. I'm a pretty trusting guy.

On another note I had my first softball game yesterday. This is the same old man softball league I was in before. When I got to the field I was late because of the previous events and I didnt take batting practice or fielding or even warmed up my arm. We had 8 players to begin with. I was leadoff batter and starting short stop. I started off the game with a hit, an infield single (gotta love my speed when you compare it old men bending over picking up a ball and throwing it). I progressed to third on a double. At this point I'm thinkign "Damn, we're doing great, this is gonna be a great season." Then our clean up batter struck out... (keep in mind this is slow pitch softball) and the next batter popped out. Then we're in the field... the first batter grounds out. We only had 1 ground out all last year (to first base at least), so again I'm thinking we're the best. Then we give up a solo home run. Then we give up countless other hits. By the end fo the first inning its 5-0. Fast forward till we're out in the field again. We give up another 3 runs. So after 2 we're losing 8-0. The umpire is already asking if there is a mercy rule. The next inning I get another at bat. Get basically the same hit as before and beat it out again. This time I'm stranded at first though. At this point my hand really starts hurting (i dont know why). It was bothering me for a week to this point but i just assumed it was general soreness. Anyway at this point i couldnt grip the ball anymore because it was in that much pain. the next inning in the field I made 2 errors, but also made 2 outs and we gave up no runs that inning. My last at bat was a weak fly ball to the pitcher... I was basically just swinging with my nondominate arm at this point. By the end of the game we lost 17-1. The one run we scored was them being extremely lazy in the field and the 17 they scored was them cutting us a break and stopped taking extra bases on hits. Over all though, its a huge improvement over last year's first game where we lost 36-2. We just have to get our bearings and wait till lindy rejoins the team. I didnt think it was that bad of a game, we just had no hitting and like 5 strikes outs which is insanely high for this kind of softball. I went home after this looked at my hand and compared it to my other hand and realized it was about twice the size (swollen). I iced it and its hurt ever since. Oh well, the Rough 'Em Up Rabbi's will be back next week to play a team we were within runs of beating last year.

Real quick - Co-Op fun today. A guy from New Jersey sent out an email inviting every Co-Op in the nation to lunch. What occured afterwards was chaos. 35 emails in 5 minutes. All of them saying they should have it in misc. places around the world. Man, Johnson & Johnson really gives us too much work to do. The funniest thing was about 10 minutes after all the emails stopped a guy from my company who goes to lasalle tells us that we're breaking the rules. I couldnt contain myself while reading it that I yelled out "NERD!!!!!!" Yeah, that was the high point of my day.

Notes: Lets consider this a post besides the fact its a bunch of unrelated ideas. First of all my oldest brother Nate called me to tell me that I'm not being entertaining enough. Let me just say, I know. Besides the fact that this game (which from now on will not be posted about unless... well unless I'm dieing for material) holds a vice grip on me, nothing has been going on. Sure, i could write about A10s, more work stories, or other related incidents but basically when i think of writing a posts i dont want it to be labored, i want it to flow naturally... thus the reason I stopped making comics. With that said let me move on to my topics.

Era of irresponsibility --- Once again, i was irresponsible and haven't handed in my study abroad application even though its been about 90% done since early December. Thus, i may or may not be going to Australia because of my procrastination. I am not even sure going would be a good idea. The main reason i'd go was to have fun. This fun comes at an expense: $13,500 a semester for classes i wont take seriously, and an additional $2,000 for airfaire for a 48 hour trip (up and back). Total: $15,500; about 95% of what I will make at my current job. Along with this here are some extra other hidden fees. The price of another full year of school because of this semester (at work) and next semester (Austrlia) i will be a full year behind, i may not pay for tuition now but things may change in the future. Frankly, I think after college, i could get a job, take a 3 week vacation and go to Australia and have a great time without spending money on tuition. I dont know what i should be doing, I'm now feeling rushed and maybe thats why I'm thinking about this - since its now harder for me to go in, maybe i should just quit and just go back to normal college life next year.

The plague of facebook --- Speaking of college life, La Salle was finally put in something that interacts with other schools. Its called Facebook. This site is fun to play around with, you get to see how people from high school are doing along with some people who you'd never think you'd speak to again. For instance my next door neighbor when i was growing up (K-4th grades) messaged me in there, which was nice. But then again you get leeches in this who are obviously just trying to make themselves feel important. Let me use myself as an example. According to Facebook, i have 39 friends at La Salle. Not a huge number, not a tiny number and probably 80% of them are on the swim team. Along with that i probably have like 18 friends who go to school in other places, almost all of them I still talk to or see pretty regularly. Then you have someone who I know from high school who put me on their list. I look at his profile and determine he's a faker. I mean who are you trying to fool here, we remember you from high school, we see your picture on facebook, you werent and currently are not popular. I understand, i wasnt popular in high school by any means, but then again, i dont go around and fake it and pretend that every day in high school was a combination of every shitty high school movie combined. Its one thing to accept "friends" who put you on their list because you feel bad if you don't, its another thing to invite every person you have ever met knowing that there has been absolutely no rejections within the websites limitations. I know i'm off on a tangent here, but seriously this pisses me off, stop trying to be someone that you arent.

Other minor notes on what i'm doing --- The past week and half I've seen 3 movies: Be Cool, Hostage, and Constantine. All three I recommend. Constantine's premise was awesome and has inspired me to increase my nerdiness by reading the comic books. Be Cool was good, considering i didnt see the first movie, Get Shorty. And Hostage was a typical action/thriller. Can't complain other than paying $9.25 for Be Cool because I didn't want to wait in line. Along with this, I contacted someone at work about softball. They were telling me how serious it was and how there may or may not be a spot on the team for me. All i have to say about this is, I cant wait to get back into lackadaisical old man softball league, where even with my lack of talent I'm still a starter.

One last minor note --- a friend of mine was going through relationship trouble and asked for my advice. Let me just say, if there is one person NOT to ask for advice on this subject it'd be me. When was the last time I did anything right relating to girls? A long time ago. Anyway, i gave this kid advice and then made a stupid mistake and made it worse. Sure, everything eventually worked out, but he should seriously reconsider asking me for advice unless its about computers or video games.

Today's the day. Since November 23 I set off on a tast to complete something. After toiling with unknown troubles and unspoken horrors I have finished. My epic journey has come to a close. I finally beat World of Warcraft.

Now I can finally start something I have been putting off for months, finish the game with my other (first) character I created.
I bet right now you're thinking "I waited this long for a fucking update and i get bullshit about warcraft?! I'm not coming back to this site ever again!" All I have to say to that is: Fine, get the fuck outta here, i dont need you. My site is bringing in heavy traffic here. I think i'm up to 5 unique people per day! Five! Sure thats nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands that say penny-arcade brings in, but you wait, my site is still new... relatively speaking, its getting bigger. We got a cult going here. Shit! Everyone just wants to read my stories about office pranks and mutated goldfish. So fine, leave, I dont need you... (please come back... i need you... this is my only outlet)
