Insane Random Ramblings

I said in another post that I was rooting for Manny and the Dodgers to meet the Red Sox in the World Series.

I take it back. I can’t do it. I can’t root against the Phillies. I just can’t. I’ve been waiting for this for years and it’s finally here and I say I’m pulling for the Dodgers. That’s just craziness.

I’m a Phillies fan and I have to root for them. Maybe it’s in the water or something. Maybe I was brain-washed as a child but I can’t root against them. Not at this time of year.

Go Phillies!!!!!!!!!

I’m usually so bored at work that all I do is surf the internet for the part of the day. I have work to do but in-between the work I look around. Of course, all of the good sites are blocked.

All sites like MySpace and FaceBook are automatically blocked. You can’t even access some blogs. Especially if they’re Blogger or TypePad. It gets annoying what I can and can’t look at. I can surf for auto insurance but I can’t read financial news. It’s not like I can complain though. I should be working and not surfing. But when there’s nothing to do I can’t find any good sites to read.

I just wish my job wasn’t so boring that I had time to surf. Then again I shouldn’t complain. I could be so busy that I didn’t get my work done everyday. Which wouldn’t be a good thing either. Heck I’m just happy that I have a job!

The Phillies vs the Dodgers was set on Sunday. Yesterday the Rays vs the Red Sox series was set.

In the AL I’m rooting for the Red Sox. I know the Rays are the feel good story and they are a good team. However, Jason Bay finally knows what it’s like to play for a winning team and I would love to see him win a ring.

The NL is not so easy for me. I’m a Phillies fan and that’s who I should be rooting for. But I would love to see the potential for a Manny/Dodgers vs the Red Sox World Series. With all that Joe Torre has been through I would also love to see him back in the big game. Wouldn’t that just irk old Hankenstein to death?!?!?

It’s a hard choice, but for me it’s the Dodgers vs the Red Sox in the World Series.

I went to sleep at the bottom of the 11th inning of the Red Sox-Angels game. It was tied 4-4 at the time. I was too tired to stay up.

Of course the Angels scored a run in the top of the 12th inning and won the game. I’m not happy about that because I’m actually rooting for the Red Sox this year.

But it was only game 3 so the Sox have 2 more games to close out the series.

First the Steelers game seemed to go on forever. Now I’m watching the end of the Red Sox-Angels game. I don’t think this game would ever end. I love a good baseball game - I really do. I’m just tired and ready to go to bed. It got to the point that I was hoping that anyone would just go ahead and win. I don’t even care what team it was.

Now in the morning, I’ll be super tired and cranky at work because I stayed up to watch the end of the game. I’ll have to drink a lot of soda to wake up and give myself some caffeine. I don’t want to stumble around the office bumping into the office furniture like I’ve had something to drink that early in the morning. I may stop and grab a cup of coffee while I’m at it.

Oh man I just thought of the bags that I”m going to have! Not pretty.

I still haven’t even started my book yet. I know what the book is about but I need to read it to see exactly what the author is saying. I don’t know how much I’ll actually read though. Baseball comes on at 1pm then there’s a 4pm baseball and football game. Then the Steelers play Sunday night football at 8pm.

I have a feeling I’m going to start reading the book on Monday morning.

Since I have nothing special going on, this is just my top 5 things I plan on doing this weekend:

1. Reading my book for class. We already finished one book and we’re starting on another. I’ll read during the day on Saturday.
2. Clean up my notes from the movie we watched. Last week we watched Unfaithful in class. We had specific things that we were supposed to look out for because they related to the class. I need to decipher my notes and make them coherent.
3. Watch sports. Between the baseball playoffs and regular football season, I’m sure I’ll end up watching sports almost all weekend.
4. Go shopping at Wally World. I need a new pillow, mine is dead flat right now. I also need some envelopes, laundry detergent, acne treatments, and lotion. The weather is starting to change and my skin is dry already. I’ll probably get some moisturizing body wash as well.
5. Look online and finalize my school schedule for the spring. I need to know if the classes work within my work schedule or if I have to juggle some things around.

Have a great weekend!

This is not good at all. Everyone is getting sick at the same time. At first I thought it was just allergies since a lot of people have runny noses. Then 2 of my coworkers said that they don’t suffer from allergies. Ummm, not good for me. I can’t afford to get sick. I don’t want to miss any time from work or school. I still have 1 sick day left but I still have 3 months left. I don’t want to have to use it now if I don’t have to.

I hope whatever it is that’s going around skips right over me.

The Miraculous Moped…

An elderly man on a moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to a doctor at a street light.

The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, ‘What kind of car ya got there, sonny?’The doctor replies, ‘A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!’

‘That’s a lot of money,’ says the old man. ‘Why does it cost so much?’ ‘Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!’ states the doctor proudly.The moped driver asks, ‘Mind if I take a look inside?’ ‘No problem,’ replies the doctor.

Then, sitting back on his moped, the old man says, ‘That’s a pretty nice car, all right…But I’ll stick with my moped!’Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 160 mph.

Something whips by him going much faster!‘What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?’ the doctor asks himself. He presses harder on the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph.

Amazed that the moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas and passes the moped at 275 mph. He’s feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN!Astounded by the speed of this old guy, he floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph.

Tomorrow is payday and I have a date with the mall. There are quite a few things that I want/need that I’ll be picking up this weekend. I want a few cd’s and some alli that I’ll get from Wally World. I need a new pair of shoes and some shirts for work. It’s starting to get cold and I need more long sleeved shirts. Almost 75% of my shirts are short sleeved or no sleeves at all because they’re summer shirts.

I said I wasn’t buying any more clothes for a while but I really need some things right now. I just hope I find a really good sale.
