It had to start somewhere this season . Why not at 2:20am on 8/17/2011 after I have has 4 pops of zambuca which helped me wash down an Ambien. Don't worry, I am OK. Or if I am not this blog post will be worth money tomorrow.  This is what is great of just being my own boss here. Do what I want to do. Of course I don't get paid shit.  But that's OK, it is fun. And I didn't really booze with Ambien, it just sounded so Hollywood to say it.   Other big events to happened on August 17th.

 If you followed me last year you know I am a Nomar fan. I still feel he is one of the best Red Sox players ever, I'm not going to argue that here though. But I do wear #5 in softball for him.   But I can announce that I will not end this or any future blogs with a Nomar quote like last year. Nomar sent me  and asked me to stop so I always listen to my god. So I need a new idea this year to end this silly thing.

This blog has evolved a great deal.  I find awesome is people actually read it despite my butchering of the English language.  If readership ever drops I thought about posting a nude picture of Brady's kid to grab some attention but someone beat me to that.

Does anyone care about the preseason? I thought I did, really I did.  Patriots 1st preseason game last Thursday. I was actuallty looking forward to it. So the game comes on, 5 min later my girlfriend screams from the shower "Only cold water" I knew what that meant, we ran out of oil. My fault, I knew it was very low. I was watching the stock markets and oil prices all week and hedging my bet for a bigger drop in oil prices.. opppps. It was now 10pm, she is col. I really want sex so I need to spring into action.  Off to the gas station I go, 6 gallons of diesel in the container.  Heading back home. Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug, the tank has the six gallons. It fires up slow, I bleed the lines and we are good to go. I feel so gettto but hey we got hot water. The next day I had the tank filled.

So back to the preseason, I saw one play before the oil went dry so I DVR the game.  By the timegot to watch it later that night I completely lot interest. Did I really want to FF trough 2nd and 3rd string players. I stood there looking at it until I finally clicked "delete" & "yes"to confirm".. and it was gone. I feel like I missed nothing.

As far as this blog goes. I will be around more. I will be writing a lot about folks in the pool but I'll mix in random stuff as well.  I am wrapping up grad school so my thesis will be done soon. Anyone out there hiring? I'll need a job after my thesis and my MS in IT. Follow me on Twitter to see when this thing is updated.
