Fever Pitch

So for the past few years I've had this tradition of watching the movie Fever Pitch around the opening of baseball season. It's just a little something to get me excited about baseball. Yeah, I know that there is more to this movie than baseball and that there are probably plenty more baseball baseball movies to watch, but yeah, I'll still go with this one.

Heres why...


  • This movie dealt with a Boston Red Sox fan through the 2004 season. You can feel the love and frustration of someone who has a big love for the team that hasn't won the World Series for like ever. These Red Sox fans are very similar to Chicago Cubs fans. The wait has been too long, but fortunately for the Sox fans, they've won 2 of the last 4. The Cubs on the other hand...yep. So in a lot of ways, I can relate to the fans in this movie, during that time.


  • Saying all that, I am actually a fan of the Red Sox and maybe all teams Boston(do I even dare to mention that I own a Tom Brady jersey? Hmm..that's a different story) So its kind of fun to just watch the movie and stuff and get that tingly feeling when the Red Sox win the World Series and you hear the The Dropkick Murphys song, Tessie.


  • I like romantic comedies? Yeah, I can say that. It's fun. Although I can't really say that I'm the biggest fan of Mr. "I will laugh and ruin your sketch" Fallon, but for this movie, I believe him and Drew Barrymore are really good for their rolls. It's nice and It's lovely. I really like this movie. To see a man who is blinded by the love for his team and baseball, to see or even feel the same way for the girl and then to finally realize that the Red Sox are nothing, compared to the love of your girl friend, is just awesome. To watch as he would rather sell his season tickets, in order to not lose the love of his life and to see her run across the outfeild of Fenway(although not really reaslistic) to stop him, is just awesome.

    In a way, I think that kind of relates to us Christ Followers. We are too distracted by stuff such as entertainment, relationships, work, sports, and sin, to develop a more intimate relationship with God. I think we need to ask ourselves, "What is that love in my life that stands before God?" and just sit down and sign it over to Him or something. Sin should be thrown out, but as far as the other stuff that isn't "bad", just lift it to Christ and he'll give you a "World Series" in your life.


So what more can I say...not much really. I'm ready for baseball. I'm ready for the Cubs and I'm ready for the Red Sox. I think I am just becoming more of a fan of all baseball. It used to be that I'll watch all the Cubs games that I could, on either WGN or Comcast and watch who ever was playing on Saturday Fox baseball or Sunday Nights on ESPN. Now I kind of wish I had MLB TV or something, because I kind of want to watch more games and stuff. It's fun. Don't get me wrong, the Cubs are still my team, but I just wanna watch more games and teams and players. I've gained a lot of respect for other teams and players. I can't say that I hate any teams, but I can't say I like all teams. I can say, "I LIKE BASEBALL!"

Enough!

That's probably what you are thinking about these brief "Number of Days Until" posts.

Yeah, about that... It's my blog!

But seriously...

One more day until a normal post.

Hopefully.

Forty-Four More Days Until...

The Worst

When I was seven, my mother hired a pony and a cart to come to my house for all the kids. And I got a really bad rash, from the pony. And all the kids got to ride the pony. And I had to go inside. And my mother was rubbing cream on me for probably three hours. And I never came outside. And by the time I got out, the pony was already in the truck and around the corner. So that was my worst birthday.

24

So my birthday is Monday.
I'm gonna be 24.
It's the 24th of March.
March is the third month of the year(3). The year is 2008,('08).
3 x 8 = 24.

So...
Age - 24
Day of the Month - 24
Month x Year = 24.

Weird.

So is that like a sign that i should start watching the show 24 or something? Probably not.

The Empire Strikes Back AGAIN!

Ok, so thanks so there were 9 votes and 2 were mine. So thinks to the 7 people who came to visit my site. If you are readers, then I'm happy to have some. I had the goal of having 3, so I know I have 7 or at least had 7 readers. Thank you. Special thanks to the ones that actually voted for The Empire Strikes Back. Though I would have been better to see a lot more votes. I mean, seriously, I think A New Hope is the second best, for it was the very first one.

Maybe next time I'll do the Indiana Jones poll.

Summers of Slacking

To go along with the last post, I think I've been slacking off with my visits to Cedar Point for the last few years.

Look at the number of times I've been to Cedar Point during that summer.

2005 - 4
2006 - 3
2007 - 2

Yes, I know that's probably about everyone's average, but it just doesn't compare to...

2003 - 90+
2004 - 100+

I'm sorry Cedar Point, but it's hard when you aren't in my back yard anymore.

Who's Ready for Cedar Point?



Oh the days when the Park was the "Amazement" Park.
Now, it is just the "Boring" Park... OK, it's not. Oh how I wait for May.

bye bye beautiful

I'm Tired and I'm Ready

I'm tired of Satan messing up my life.
I'm tired of sin messing up my life.
I'm tired of my frustrations messing up my life.
I'm tired of my attitude towards myself and others, messing up my life.
I'm tired of my thoughts and my actions messing up my life.
I'm tired of the things I say, messing up my life.
I'm tired of my time management, messing up my life.
I'm tired of my pride, my anger, and my fears, messing up my life.
I'm tired of depression, messing up my life.
I'm tired of my laziness messing up my life.
I'm tired of....so on and so on and so on... messing up my life.
I'm tired of Satan messing up my life.

Satan, sit down! You had your turn.

God, it's Your turn. I'm ready for You to mess up my life. This is my prayer to You, for my life to be changed, to be thrown around, to be ruined, all for You.

Goal Accomplished

My mission is complete. I now have a bigger audience than there was for XFL.

Thank You.

Hmm...

Ok, so tomorrow is Friday. I had this goal to have three readers by tomorrow. I look at the poll to the right and I see three votes. Hmm, one must think, "well hey Chunk, look's like you have you're three." Well, truth be told, one of those votes is mine, so that leaves two readers. So yeah, I know who these readers are, Carter and Austin.

I need advertisment or something. I'll see what I can do.

I am a loser and I have no friends.

bye bye beautiful
