I just learned that the Twins traded Matt Garza to Tampa Bay. This is seriously disappointing, and I truly believe they're going to regret that ill-considered decision, and probably in the very near future--I don't know, say the beginning of next season?
Matt Garza should still have been wearing a Twins uniform next season. End of story.
Now I have to keep up with two teams.
I love this game. But, oh, sometimes I hate this game.
Grrr.......
Does this happen to other people? Or am I just crazy?
You know, you're just going through your life, minding your own business, and then WHAM! (not the band) out of nowhere, you notice something new in someone you're known for quite a while. And, all of the sudden, because of that one lightning strike moment, you start to realize just how completely amazing this person is? And you can't figure out why you didn't notice all the cool things about them before?
This just complicates everything......
Well, it's just under two days until the beginning of NaNoWriMo! Everyone wish me luck, because this year, I'd actually love to "win."
I made this desktop calendar for the event. Cool, don't you think?
Matt Garza, my favorite pitcher for the Minnesota Twins, got his first win in the Metrodome last night!
Congrats, Matt!
Go Twins!
Today is Kirk Johnson's birthday!
He's an amazing singer/songwriter and quite possibly my favorite musician. So, Happy Birthday, Kirk! Hope it rocks!
So everybody needs to go listen to some Run Westy Run or Iffy today. If you don't know who those bands are, you should go take a listen to them, because you're really missing out!
Run Westy Run-s/t
Run Westy Run-Hardly Not Even
Run Westy Run-Green Cat Island
Run Westy Run-David's Drum
Run Westy Run-Cockroach Park (good luck finding this one, though)
Iffy- Biota Bondo
Well, I at least hate their baseball team.
You see, I've recently gotten seriously into baseball. I love the Twins. They've been playing so well lately, and I really had high hopes about this series with Cleveland. However, my team's just not playing like I know they can right now. And Cleveland seems to be leading this charmed existence right now.
Let's hope it doesn't last much longer.
Go Minnesota! Go Twins!
It seems lately that everyone around me is getting exactly what I want. It feels like quite a few of the people I know are either finding that special someone or are finally discovering that that person was there all along. It's not that I'm not happy for my friends, or that I don't want them to be happy. It's just that I want something like that too. It's hard not to be at least a little envious, a little jealous.
Finding that person isn't happening for me, though. Everytime I think I've found someone I could really like, whose company I really enjoy, and who I could see myself spending absolutely ridiculous amounts of time with, it never seems to work out the way I wish it would. And I am at a complete loss as to why that is.
It had gotten to the point that I thought maybe I was just looking for and paying attention to the wrong type of man. So, I decided that, for a few months, I'd just consider every man I met as someone with "potential." And I do mean everyone. Even the ones who seemed unlikely. Even the ones that were the polar opposite of everything I thought I wanted. This little experiment proved something to me. I wasn't wrong about what I want. I know this because even though I could see good qualities that I'd previously ignored in men I wouldn't normally give a second thought to, it was still the same things as always that really made me sit up and take notice.
Namely: high intelligence, creativity, sarcastic humor, the ability to make me laugh, very liberal political views, an independence from religion (or at least not requiring me to believe), a strong love of music, art and literature, being easy to talk to, a playful nature, being able to rationally disagree without demeaning another's views, and a sense of fairness.
Ok, so I obviously know what I want. So, why then, when I find a man that possesses most of these qualities, does nothing ever come of it?
Whenever someone accuses you of something, they're most likely guilty of it themselves?
Funny how a certain someone can identify something wrong with me, but be completely oblivious to their own detriments.
I have one thing to say to this person--take a good hard look at yourself before you start analyzing me and my life.
This is pissing me off, so I must say these two things.
1. Atheism is absolutely NOT a religion.
2. Agnosticism is for people who cannot or will not commit to their beliefs, or who are afraid to choose.
