A Potpourri of Stuff

Today's thoughts are geared more toward the events of the last week.

Yesterday empires were toppled, traditions crushed, and one curse that has plagued an entire city was broken. Congratulations to the Red Sox. I've been a fan of the Sox for a little bit now, thank you Nate. I have no where near the dedication of the entire city of Boston nor my friend Nate, but I am happy for the team. However, I thought the Curse of the Bambino was stronger than the players and their season. That being said I would like to ponder what is about to happen in the world of baseball because of this win. The Yankees whole power came with the trade of Babe Ruth. They have held baseball not just the Red Sox in the palm of their hands since 1918. With the curse broken, will the Yankees fall apart? Will the Sox now become baseball's powerhouse? What about the other mediocre teams in the AL and NL? Will their future seasons have a better result than the previous? What is to become of baseball as we know it? Next season will tell.

I talked to my brother last night. It was great to talk to him. He's staying in Stillwater next semester, which is good. I'm going up there this weekend. YAY! It's bedlam weekend and Halloween at that. It's gonna be crazy. His roommate's boyfriend is havin a party. Costume. I can't wait. I really can't wait.

Tomorrow is my Gramma's birthday. I haven't been back to her grave since the funeral. I know I need to go, but I'm really nervous about doing so. I know I'm going to cry. I'm about to cry right now just typing about it. It's just something I have to do that I've been putting off in true procrastinator style.

I was standing in line to get a transcript today and an older black man got in line behind me and started talking to me. I was a little hestitant at first, just like I always am when a stranger talks to me. But he was telling me his story about taking 12 hours and working full time. But then he said something else. He said, I know it's no excuse, I'm not giving up. Giving up would be too easy. I was sure to tell him thank you for telling me that. It's what I needed to hear. It's what I needed to tell Joey. So if you're reading, giving up would be the easy way out.

I think I'm done with the thoughts for today.
Have a good one.
Muah!!!!!
