let's hope one day you'll be able to understand how ridiculous this pressure is on you...
Ahahahaha. Same shit, DIFFERENT MONTH.
I dun care. Well, I do, but. Look. Team's been outta the postseason for 14 years, 13 seasons. Even though the Rockies are scorching and A-Row & Chutley want to be lamers and the bullpen is craptacular (we need to clone Romero srsly), (and speaking of lamers, Dinger must be sucking the umpires' dicks), we still gotta game to go, other teams have done it! 95 Mariners (best LDS ever this is not a debate), 01 Yankees, 02 Angels, 03 Sox...
Remember what Harry said, kids, "anytime you're feeling low, 'stead of letting go, just remember that ant." If he could move a rubber tree plant, we can move some Rockies. :)
Looking at the ups in this game!:
I'm proud of KK, and I wish Manuel would've let him get out of the 3rd, with the bases loaded. seriously, the worst he could've done is what Lohsee did. Why bring in Lohse, who is not a K pitcher, in when the bottom of the order (or, 6-7-8) is up in the bottom of the inning? Let KK work out of his own jam like he did the inning before. I don't wanna hear BUT HE'Z A ROOKIE!! because that's bullshit. Well, he IS a rookie, but if he's in the big leagues, on the PLAYOFF roster, he's just as good as ANYBODY else up here. Obviously I woulda been upset if he hadn't gotten out of the inning, but thems the breaks, kiddo.
J-Roll! Way to be, dude. Ain't your fault the bullpen couldn't hold it together, and the rest of the lineup sort of FAILED with RISP
BUT, you know what? A lot of teams don't win their first time back in the playoffs after a long stretch. Cardinals? Sixth playoff try in seven years and then they finally got it. The oh-so-SPESHUL Braves lost two heartbreaker WS and got upset in the NLCS before finally getting the trophy in 1995. The Phillies themselves lost the NLCS in back-to-back 100+ win seasons, lost the NLCS again, DIDN'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS, and THEN finally won the Pennant/World Series.
And this isn't '93 all over again, this isn't the stars aligning out of fucking nowhere. This is a team that has room to grow. They've succeeded in letting me not be afraid to count on them to come through. And that's awesome.
Hey so last Monday I got fired! S'why I wasn't around a lot, I was kinda really fucking miserable. Especially since it came out of nowhere. I called in Monday morning to doublecheck if it was 8 or 8:30 that they needed me and oh, I guess it "wasn't working out". That I "wasn't picking things up fast enough." ???!! They told me every day I was there (I was there for 6 days, total of 18, 19 hours probably, over the course of two weeks) they told me how AWESOME I WAS DOING! Oh and they gave me a second work shirt! And put my name in the register so I could clock in in the morning! And gave me time off at the end of October! I guess that means I'm gettin fired soon, I dunno. I wasn't aware of that.
Apparently some of the customers were complaining about my hygiene?! Uh what? I'm not dirty and crusty, I do bathe and brush my teeth and comb my hair like a good member of society should. I guess my hair is "oily". Oh, forgive me for my natural make-up. I know my hair's very fine, I take care of it knowing this, I use shampoos for fine/oily hair, and make sure they're clear as to not get any excess residue, and I don't use conditioner. Don't really know what else there is to do besides shave my head! [Please don't comment on this with suggestions, guys. Not that I don't appreciate your advice, but I am far from ignorant about the maintenance of my hair]
So now? I worked at the plant nursery a couple more times, so that's good. I also, miracle of miracles! got called in for an interview at the animal hospital! I guess they need a part-time room assistant...which is basically you do the dirty work, cleaning up animal stuffs, INCLUDING remains. And being there if they euthanize. Which...I hope I'm strong enough to deal with, I think I would be. I...I don't know if I'll get the job, I think I had a good interview! But I also thought I was doing well at the coffee shop.
AND HEY IT GETS BETTER! And by better I mean worse.
So, my aunt, who lives in Delaware, was up for the weekend to visit my nana. And her CAR breaks down, so, my parents, who were also at my nana's when it happened, offer let her borrow my Hyundai! Which, hey that's no big deal, EXCEPT my mom? Offered to just let her use it without even ASKING ME. Luckily my dad told her it's probably better if they ask me first. So he asks me and I, begrudgingly, said yes.
And then I find out that my mom was going to let her use it without even asking me. Her reasoning? "Well, you don't have your license yet, and we bought the car so we shouldn't have to ask!"
That? Makes no fucking sense. So what, if I DID have my license then MAGICALLY they didn't pay for the car??
Then it's "oh, but if you had your license, we wouldn't have offered because you woulda needed to use your car!"
Honestly, I'd rather have my car WITHOUT my license so I can LEARN. Because if I did have my license? If I absolutely needed to go somewhere, I coulda used my mom's Jeep.
Jeebus Christ. Then comes the guilt trip. What the hell ever. Stop acting like I have no right to be mad at you. Maybe if you didn't treat me like I was five.
Also, guys, you know what my favorite food is right now? Oatmeal. Holy crap, I got this vanilla cinnamon stuff that I used to eat a few years ago, and hadn't been able to find since, and I thought they discontinued it (and have obv. found) and omg it's all I wanna eat. Then again I love oatmeal, but this I super-love. DUN JUDGE!
