Take Me Out To The Ballpark...

Where do I start with this update? I went to softball games both Wednesday & Thursday night. My niece, the Demon-Spawn - had her last two games of the season and Uncle Doug had to be there. Wednesday night - the other team forfeited - not enough players showed up. So we won. Then "IT" happened. The kids didn't care about the forfeit - they're there to play ball. The guy from the Scotland County Parks & Rec started pulling up the bases - it's a forfeit and he's got things to do so he's leaving. What the ....? The Coach of our team was very upset. What about the kids? They're here to play. And the assclown said that he has to go. Well, our Coach called him a sorry M.F.'er - and said we're playing anyhow. Using gloves as the bases - we had ourselves a baseball game. The kids had fun - the parents helped coach and act as the base umpires and a great time was had by all. To hell with the Scotland County Parks & Recreations dude - he's got more important things to do than look out for the kids - who the hell needs him. After the game - we won by the way something like 20 -15 but no one bothered with the scoring - we all went to Hamond Park for pizza & the handing out of end of the year trophies. The Demon Spawn, by the way got on base with every hit and hit two doubles - scoring two runs.

Next day - the final game. We played a make-up game against the best team in the league - and it went extra innings - but we won again - 22-21. Trophy World - the pygmy version - kicks ass....

As for my life, I went back to work on Thursday night. BJ never came by the store, for a change. That sucked. : ( But unfortunately, Pa did. We talked for a bit, in between customers. he was wanting to get freaky in the back room while I was locked up for an hour to fill my cooler, mop, etc... But nothing happened. I'm still holding my ground. I need to get rid of him... for good. I have enough drama and issues going on without worrying about that little bastard.

Youngblood called from Puerto Rico early this AM. I need to call him back, but I just can't bring myself to do it. He's another guy that I love to death - and in some ways, he's one of my best friends - (he'd have to be to put up with my asshole ways the way he does) - but I just can't deal with him today.

Got paid today. Paid a few bills - still owe for my bill at the store. I'll do it tonight. And then I'll be broke. What fun! Talked to Dane today too. He's working down at the new Jersey Mike's place. He's such a cute little fucker. Sweet as hell. Straight too! Damn the luck! But that's cool. We're still planning on hanging out and getting shit-faced sometime soon. We've been planning this for about 7 years - but it never happens. Not a problem though.

Not much more to chit-chat about. I got paperwork in the mail today about my high school reunion coming up. I think I may go to this one. Not sure yet, but it's the big one - the 20th... and it's only for a few hours - a few in the afternoon and a few that night - in October - and then it's done. I didn't care much for high school when I was going - but there are a few folks that I'd like to see again. And I guess with time, I've gotten a bit more nostalgic for the days I was young and innocent. Yes - believe it or not, I was such a good kid , it's almost sickening. What the hell happened? Puberty hit.. and then the whole "coming out" thing - and I began a lifelong career of working with the general public - all of that will jade anyone.. and twist them into a sick little pervert. And now, hey, that's me... : )

Damn, I've got to go to work now. It's Friday night... and a full moon too. It's gonna be hell in a handbasket. What does that mean anyhow? It's gonna be rough. Maybe I'll get something worth writing about out of it. Who knows? And I really do need to get a new column up soon for the wrestling sites. So much to do! How will I ever endure? Who knows? I just will. See ya next time.
