snow and sports
it snowed out today. only a few inches, but even so it's much better than what we had before, which was nothing. so anything we get is a definite improvement on our previous weather patternsstill looking for work. i'm realistically hopefully about this week, but we'll see. all i know is i'm really tired of notworking, so hopefully that'll change. soon.
there's also some developing news about the government's apparent involvement in relocating someone to ohio. you can read about it here. it's a developing and fluid situation, so stay tuned
when i saw this headline last week i almost flipped:
******************************************************
Orioles get Benson from Mets for Julio, Maine
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Orioles acquired right-hander Kris Benson from the New York Mets on Saturday in exchange for right-handers Jorge Julio and John Maine.
*******************************************************
at first, all i saw was the fact that the orioles somehow included MY STATE in a trade with the mets, which would mean that i was now living in new york city. needless to say, this would have been entirely unacceptable on multiple levels. who does baltimore think they are to just assume they have the rights to trade an entire state which they have absolutely no ties to? i was outraged, frustrated, and also saddened at this turn of events, as well as being perturbed by the fact that my tax rate would increase. then i saw that it's for a player named, of all things, "Maine." nice surname, i must admit, but i think they should have included his first name in the headline so as to avoid possible confusion and animosity
in real life, the Red Sox are on the verge of trading for a guy by the name of "Coco Crisp." i'm ecstatic. this year is shaping up to be a stellar one for the sox, not only because of the caliber of the players who we'll be putting on the field every day but also because of the characters. consider the following:

- coco crisp is pretty much the best.name.ever. and he's a good player, too
- julian tavarez, a recently acquired relief pitcher, not only tried to deliver a jump-kick to a guys face during a game once, but i know someone who knew someone who knew a girl he dated back in high school (probably married to her now for all i know). talk about a personal connection. plus, he's just a crazy sort of character. you never know what julian is going to do next
- josh beckett is a yankee-killer. plus, i saw him pitch once in his minor league days, so i feel like i have a personal connection to him
