A guy at work told me a conspiracy theory that almost makes sense. The White Sox have not been to the world series since 1956 and I don't think they've won since 1907. They are going to win the world series and break their "curse" like the Red Sox did. Next will be the Cubs who have the next longest drought. Baseball is masterminding this to bring more publicity after the blow the sport took for the strike. I'm going to ask him for more theories.
Being in two fantasy leagues makes it hard to know who to root for. You already want your team to win. If the person you are playing however has someone from your team, you are not always sure if you want your team to do well now. What makes it worse is when you want your team's defense to rock the Rams because you love that team and you have their defense in one league, but then again in your other league your opponent also has them. Fuck fantasy football tomorrow. I will just watch my Colt's manhandle the Rams and move on to 6-0 and take pleasure in that. I can watch the whole game too because I get out of work at 5.
The USC game was also good yesterday. As I passed by the plasma TVs at work I would check out the score. My eyes were glued to the screen in the final minute along with my supervisor, manager, most of electronics and half the customers in the store. The whole store could hear the screaming from the people watching the game.
I am looking through the class catalog searching for a half semester class. I might take HTML. I have been meaning to give technology courses another shot and see if I can finally get some direction in school. I am confident that thats all I need. Its transferable credit and if anything else I can really "pimp out" my myspace page like that. I see my sister that has decided on becoming an architect and got accepted into the program at Cal Poly which is one of the hardest to get into. I see her actually put effort into this in pursuit of her goal. I miss having that.
A thunderclap overhead just shook my window. Thats the second thunderstorm so far this year that I remember anyways. They wake me up more than earthquakes because I am used to having the ground move. I remember years ago having at most one a year. I need a new jacket. The one that has served me well for about 3 or 4 years is done for. I am also recovering from a cold and the possible rain tomorrow won't do me good.
Credit cards are evil. A mysterious charge to some Japanese airline appeared on my statement as well. I contested it though and it got taken off. I got to save up my money for Sage Francis Gwar and possibly Damien Marley. I looked up some of Damien's stuff after Manny recommended him to me and it really isn't bad. Wouldn't mind seeing the guy in concert. Mos Def is also coming but that might cost more than what I SHOULD spend. $65 for a tank of gas is fuckin ridiculous.
