Vednesday Vent - More Like Wednesday Whine

Last year, I participated in my very first fantasy baseball league. I started game one in the cellar and never got higher than second-to-last place in the standings. So, needless to say (but obviously I'm gonna anyway) my team was sucky. And maybe I didn't understand the intricacies of the game. And maybe certain people in the league were no help by not really playing and still beating me. And maybe I was a little bitter that my 15-yr old brother was beating me the entire season. But for real, all of my players SHOULD have been good, but weren't. For instance, see 2005 stats for Curt Schilling, Todd Helton, Mike Lowell and that stupid Luis Gonzalez or whatever his name is Arizona player that was good like 3 years ago.

But hey, I'm going to pick myself up, brush off the grime of the cellar and play again this year. And the draft is this afternoon. And I have done just about as much research this year as last (read: zero). But I have a cool team name this year! C + C Poop Factory. As in Cassady and Corn Dog. Witty, no?

And D-bo, leader of the Devonites, if you beat me again this year, I'll kick your ass. And I don't mean figuratively. Yeah. Cause I'm a Bad Mother Fucker.

No offense to your Mike Lowell, but I wouldn't pick that blowhard of a third baseman again if you paid me. He's a wanker!

Stupid Saturn Rising

My horoscope today said that "my insecurity has taken on a life of its own". That's comforting. Now I remember why I quit reading horoscopes. Although, I thought I was just making the title up with this reference to Saturn rising, but as it turns out, my astrological chart really does say that Saturn is my ascendant planet right now. I'm super fucking in tune with my planets, so just keep that in mind. It's my secret weapon. In other news, have you ever had that problem where you have absolutely so much going on and so much to do, that you find yourself unable to start and complete one simple task? Take for instance, a blog post. I must have started writing on four separate posts in the last week, yet you can easily see nothing new posted in that time frame. I'm guilting on the fact that I haven't posted in so long. Generally, I wouldn't care so much - at least not enough to feel guilty about it - but the wicked knowledge that there are a few hardy sou

High Tide

On the Piney! About three days after we were there last, the banks could no longer contain the flood water and the river rose to about 10 feet from where our tent stood just a few days previously. I don't *think* The Lodge took on any water, but it would have been a really close call, and for those of you that don't know, The Lodge is easily a 150-ft. walk from the normal river bank. Photographic evidence: And I'm going to try this new-fangled video thing...we'll see if it works for anyone (8 Mb for a shorty):

I'm the Lyrical Jesse James

...which means I steal lyrics, right? I heard that line in a 90's song (coincidentally, the one that I thought said "It's gettin, it's gettin, it's gettin kinda hectic" but I only now realize they're saying HEAVY, not hectic) and I can't figure out why you'd want to promote yourself as a lyrical thief. In other news, I've completely failed at maintaining the calm demeanor I worked so hard at cultivating during my voluntary solitude of just two short weeks ago. It promptly vanished like a fart in the wind upon my arrival at the office. I wonder if the Europeans have this problem after having been holidaying for two solid weeks in August. If any of you work with Europeans, you know that several companies pretty much clock out for the entire month - good luck getting an email reply or a returned phone call. Some get an entire MONTH off. Can you imagine? What does their inbox look like when they get back? I dread the thought considering I&
