So I'm sitting here watching the World Series game 4 right now and I thought I'd drop by and drop you all a line. I'm getting a little concerned however because its the end of the third inning, Boston is up 3-0, they have a 3-0 series lead, and there is still no sign of Babe Ruth. Now I know Babe Ruth is dead....I'm referring to his curse of course. Those of you whom are baseball fans know what I'm talking about. But for those of you whom aren't, allow me to elaborate. Back in 1918, the Boston Red Sox were the most dominant team in Baseball, thanks to their pitcher and power hitter, Babe Ruth. However, a sudden and shocking trade sent Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees organization. Ever since that trade, the Yankees have had tremendous success and Boston....well Boston has choked.....A LOT! Some say it's just been a string of bad luck, and a very long string at that. Others however say that the spirit of Babe Ruth has been plaguing the Red Sox for all these years, and that is why they have failed to win a World Series. What makes it even more interesting is that they've had their chances. It seems like every year they are in the playoffs and three times since 1918 they have made the World Series itself. However, they never fail to amaze their fan base with a new way to screw it all up. But like I said, maybe it is out of their control. Maybe the spirit of Babe Ruth is just too powerful. Or maybe the curse has passed. As of right now that appears to be the case. Allow me to explain my theory. Lets think about this for a moment. What would happen if a counter curse hit Boston? What am I talking about you ask? Well allow me to explain. What would happen if Boston made an aquisition and actually benefited from it. Well that alone would not be a big deal, because their is always someone who benefits from a trade. But what if this person that they acquired possessed a curse of their own. This in turn would take over the curse in Boston and turn Babe Ruth's curse into positive energy, therefore resulting in a World Championship within a couple years. The new, more powerful curse would of course take it's negative effects on the team that traded or got rid of the particular player. So where the hell am I going with this you ask? Well don't get your panties in a bunch. Let me finish. Manny Ramirez. He is the key to this whole mess. You see once upon a time good ole Manny played for the Cleveland Indians, and they had some success. They had a string of 6 consecutive years where they made the playoffs and did pretty well, making the World Series two of those years. Unfortunately, John Hart left the organization for Texas and this other asshole came in and started running the show like he was.....ok so maybe he was the one who was supposed to be running the show. My point is, before I knew what hit the franchise, Manny was gone and in Boston. He didn't completely leave however. He left his curse behind, which as far as I'm concerned is much worse than Babe Ruth's curse. What am I getting at? Well folks you heard it here first.....the Cleveland Indians are the majors new cursed team. Forget about the Boston Red Sox. They are on the verge of winning their first world championship in 86 years. It's the Cleveland Indians...and it could be a long time before they are singing "Cleveland Rocks" on the shores of Lake Erie. My guess is 200 years....well past my lifetime. However, if somehow the Red Sox find a way to lose this World Series, everything I've ranted about has been worthless and I just wasted 20 minutes of my life. Until next time.......

HEY FOLKS! Long time no post. Well Ive been really really busy lately, but things are starting to calm down here a bit. That is why Im finally back with you all, posting like I always wish I could. Unfortunately that force, known as THE MAN, has kept me from you for a month or two. Seriously, THE MAN is really pissing me off lately. College really sucks for a start. Then there is work, which always sucks, but getting paid is a necessity. Maybe if I have time I can still fit in some golf, but I dont bet my life on it. Seriously, I cant wait for these "glory days" aka college to be done with. They are so stressful and even though I only go two days a week, lets remember Im taking 18 credit hours which just blows. Just to give you a clue as to how stressed I am, I have provided some pictures for you to look at. These pictures provide you with visuals of my post school activities, and how I go about dealing with the stress of college. Unfortunately, Im a dumbass and I posted all the pictures backwards. So look at the last picture first, the second to last picture second, and so on. Be sure to read on after them for I have more to rant about....

After all my post school activities, I fall asleep....finally the end of a long ass day. Unfortunately, I have to do it all again the next day. What is the point of life again?

After Im done yanking all my hair out, I usually calm down and watch tv. The tv is to the left of me there...its what Im looking at. It really helps to ease my pain.

This is the second thing I do after a long day at school. Usually after my headache subsides, I get really pissed and I start to yank my hair out. Luckily I have strong roots!

This is the first thing I do everyday when I get home from school. After a long stressful day, I lay down on my bed and ponder why the crap I put myself through so much pain and suffering. Then I usually realize that I have a really bad headache, but there isnt a damn thing I can do about it because I dont have any Advil.
Ok....all that put aside lets move on. I have one little rant for tonight. Lately in my Mass Communications class we have been talking about music, and how it influences society. Well our professor time and time again asks us why we think people get so emotional about music, and I never say anything, but I should. Now I don't know exactly why you personally get emotional about words with a flow, aka music, and to tell you the truth I dont know why I do either. But I do know one thing.......todays music is CRAP! Seriously, now adays all one has to do is put a couple of cuss words together, add a beat that a dog's wagging tail can create, and you have yourself a platinum album. Ok...so that applies to rap. What about all that other crap they play on 92.5 and 98.3. Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera.....they shouldnt try to impress people with their music, because it all is crap. Artists like them need to start being able to tell their right from their left.....that would impress me. Seriously now, whatever happened to the days when one would sit down in front of the tube and watch music videos. Do you remember what those were? I'm not talking about a bunch of manwhores dancing around Christina Aguilera in a dark ceiler.....although I didnt mind that one so much for obvious reasons. I'm talking about the good ole 80s videos, when all one had to do was film a man and a woman making out and put it in slow motion. Yeah it was kind of boring, but the music itself always delivered. Being a fan of the 80s, and Billy Joel, Foreigner, Elton John, and Don Henley more specifically, I have to agree that the days of good music are gone, and until agents in todays music industry can look past the mumbling, slutty, incoherant people also known as artists, I will continue to feel that way. Now you know another reason why I get so stressed these days.
Well, I think I've ranted on plenty for tonight. There is plenty more to come soon and I PROMISE you I will try and deliver more often. Hey....look at the bright side of things...at least I deliver more than today's music! Until next time........
Will Brian's stress cause him to get gray hair? Does the music in today's world really suck that bad, or is Brian just in a really bad mood? How many more years will it be before Brian updates again? Find out next time...same gay time...same gay place....
