Stuck, The Rain, Curlin, and Everything About Why I Should Just Stay Single.
My AiPod and cellphone both hate the rain. I went out to Winners' Circle on Friday in the deluge. It was so bad that I actually lowered my umbrella at one point and SCREAMED at the sky "WOULD YOU JUST STOP?!?!"
Anyway, AiPod's screen would just light up after a good hour outside, displaying nothing. Just a blank white screen. Aki da Razr as continually trying to record a voice message, or the camera was constantly in autoshot mode. Weird. This continued through what ended up being an impromptu dinner with my folks at Houlihan's, at which I got pretty blasted on wine, vodka, and mojitos.
My parents. Psh. That's for later, though.
AiPod came around that night shortly after a battery recharge. Aki da Razr was on the blink til the following morning.
The following morning was Day 2 of the Breeders' Cup meet at Monmouth. 2 year old to watch: Pyro. Sure, he finished 2nd in the Juvenile Classic, but he was closing like a freight train on the winner. Give him another 16th of a mile and a fast track...it's all over! But...who did I day to look out for in the 3 year old department way back in March, at the beginning of the Spring meet?
Curlin. I said "keep your eye on him" before the Kentucky Derby, and he finished 3rd, then I said, "don't count him out" and he WON the Preakness. In the Belmont, he finished 2nd by a head to a much fresher horse, and the horse who finished 3rd in that race was no competition for him whatsoever. I said Curlin all the way, and he now:
-has gone from a maiden to a Grade I champion in only 8 months.
-has finished in the money (never worse than 3rd) in every race he's ever run.
-is the ONLY horse to finish in the money in all three Triple Crown races.
-has WON 7 out of 10 starts.
-is the #1 contender for Horse of the Year at December's Eclipse Awards.
Back in March, I said "Keep your eye on Curlin." Now I say, "Keep your eye on Pyro."
*sigh*
Ever think that you're better off alone? I do. Now more than ever. Goki is still trying to call me every night, sometimes after 2:30 in the morning. What the HELL is he thinking? Clearly, he's still NOT.
He fucked me over, twice now, with his babblings of my plans. He's cut me off from everything. Now...well, I ended up buying a ticket to the Anti-feminism show. 'Nuff said.
Ah, I don't want to talk about this. I'm bitter and depressed. Point is, I'm staying single for a long time now. My last three outings ended in abysmal failure. I'm done.
