My friend who’s a Braves fan said: “You have 162 games when you end up disappointed. Here’s where my disappointment begins.“
On Too Many People and Losing Control
When I was hanging out with my friends in Minneapolis, we were wandering through downtown at one point, and a train of thought in my little brain took off. As we were walking to a coffee shop, we passed probably 30 women that I found very attractive, all of whom I would consider dating to …
Dear Cubs
Well, another year gone by. Another disappointment. Another horrible bullpen, another unhappy clubhouse, and another handful of questionable moves. I know you’ll have some big decisions to make in the off-season. Do we hang on to Nomar? Do we try and find some strikeout king that can hit 40 homers to get in left field, …

I wasn’t sad, because she hadn’t died. I wasn’t truly regretful, because I enjoyed our time together. I don’t really get what it is, but …

Humble Life
A steady buzzing in my ear. After about five minutes, I start to notice it. I reach over and push a lever like a mouse for a food pellet. Sleep is my pellet. At least for another nine minutes, as if that will make the slightest difference. I’ll still be tired in nine minutes. However, …
Bookstore Prophecies
I worked at a bookstore for about a year and after being there for about 6 months, I decided to start a blog called the Bookstore Prophecies. So here it is. It’s quite long (as it spans about 6 months), but I think you’ll find it at least somewhat entertaining. The Bookstore Prophecies March 18, …
