People here's the deal, here are a few reasons why I don't often blog. First, it takes forever, I end up saying way too much and wanting to say it just right. Which then of course means I gotta proofread the thing, and do the half hour spell check. Next, dismissing that I could be doing other things like working, I am usually chatting with Mary during the free time that I could be blogging. So you may be asking me, would I rather have a casual convo with her over informing everybody else what's going on in my life? The answer is yes, absolutely yes I would. So all in all people, here is why I do not often blog anymore.... I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT! Of course there's really no one that bugs me to blog, so dismiss the angry tone.

So the big concert that the ACF's were supposed to do has been pulled. So basically we have nothing, we practice just because... anybody have a gig for us? But I shouldn't hang my head, no way you can top last year's 7353 gigs, an exponent article, and a tv appearance.

Onto happier news, I went to Mary's formal 2 weeks ago, and danced a hole into the ground. Let me tell you a funny story about the whole thing. The dance took place at a restaurant... the same restaurant that I went on a date from hell the year before, for a different sorority dance. Basically it was at that dance last year I realized how much I missed Mary and wished she was there instead of whatsherface. So fate would have it, that all I had to do was wait a year. But it was so cool that I didn't just have fun... fun had me!........... I actually don't know what that means, but let that tell you how great the night was.

My sister and her baby girl came to visit us for a week. It's amazing how I can make any child my best friend... except my niece, whom took one look at me and started to cry. But my mom was right, these are the golden years. When she isn't looking at me, she is smiling, laughing, or crawling over to you because she wants your attention.

So the World Series is about to begin. Now I understand that not everybody is a baseball fan, perhaps because they don't understand the sport. That used to offend me, now I totally understand why it's so hard to understand, as Chris and I were verbalizing the ludicrousy of such a cockamaime sport. If you never thought about how confusing it is, here are a few rules.
- Every batter get's 3 strikes to hit the ball. A strike is anything in the strike zone or anything the batter swings at and misses, or if he hits a foul ball. A foul ball hit with 2 strikes is not a strike out, unless the batter is trying to bunt.
- An RBI is when a batter hits the runner(s) on base to home, unless the fielder committed an error, or if the hitter hits the runner to home during a double play.
- An ERA is the number of runs divided by the number of innings pitched times 9. Only earned runs are counted as runs. If a hitter reaches base or scores on an error, then the run was not earned.
- A save is when a relief pitcher gets the final out of the game with less than a 4 run lead. Or if that relief pitcher pitches 3 or more innings to finish the game. In extra innings, the home team cannot get the save, but the visiting team can if they win.
- A balk is when the pitcher makes a motion on the mound that is not part of his pitching motion, his motion to check the runners, or when he stops his pitching motion towards home plate. In the case of a balk, every runner on base moves ahead one base.
That is just a taste of the game called baseball. I think if aliens land on earth and want to know about our planet... baseball should not be the first thing we explain to them. The first thing we explain should be something simple with almost no depth, like George Bush.

Well the stand up bits have been absent, but they are not dead...

I wanna talk about that game show called... The Price Is Right. Bob Barker could do that show blind, deaf, and in sign language, because it's the same thing every single time. Only six contestants make it up on stage, and here they are. 1. There's the military guy whom fights for America's freedom to spin a giant wheel. 2. There's the 94 year old lady that wears a shirt that says "Bob's old ass beauties" or something like that, this is usually the contestant that the the wheel stops on one dollar for... 3. There's the country bumkin that leaps on stage grabs the microphone and says "Bob i'd like to say hi to my wife Louella Mae, we've been watching the show for the last 48 years." 4. There's the guy that has no fuckin clue what he's doing, and just wants to get off the damn stage, as if he stumbled in there by mistake on the way to the bathroom... he is usually the one that challenges the 94 year old lady in the showcase showdown. 5. There's the really really hot chick who came with her group of 40 friends and thinks that buy giving Bob a kiss that she'll win. 6. We cannot forget... the frat boy from the Iye Phelta Thi or Iye Tappa Kegga frat or something whom wins the knife set, or the china cabinet, and rejoices like he just won a small country.

That my friends... Is the Price is Right.
