it's that time of year....

no. not halloween. not christmas, which seems to start earlier every year now.......

baseball. the world series. when people who normally couldn't care less rush to watch each game, cheering for a team they couldn't name a single player on a week ago. my roommate is from houston, so he is all into it(he never has been, but he is now, making my point for me). i cannot for the life of me understand the excitement. i tried to play baseball. went to one tee-league practice....realized it was a waste of time, and went home, never to return. i am, by the way, "rooting" for chicago, since as i understand it, if they win tonight, and tomorrow, the whole thing ends. sounds good to me. then i can get back to concentrating on wondering just how much worse my beloved tennesee vols football team can do.

speaking of halloween....another holiday i could do without. not for any religious reason, but just because it is just yet another reason for kids to get "stuff"....candy....costumes....crappy toys at church "fall festivals"...enough already.....we have reduced every stinking holiday, christian and pagan to being an excuse to give more stuff to our kids that they don't need. i will rant more on this as christmas approaches, i am sure....by the by....my immediate family has pretty much ceased to exchange gifts, and would stop completely if we didn't feel bad about not giving the kids anything...see? it's the kids......more later...

i am tired now....not sure why. i slept until 11am today. i hate this 1230-9pm schedule.

so let it be written, so let it be done
