home sports

so i ranted about the nba and professional sports once again, but meanwhile, in the personal life, we did lose our game today 11-10 which hurts a lot... for one thing my alarm didn't go off and nobody called to find out where i was until 10 minutes before game time, so i got there just as the first inning was starting to find out only seven other players showed up today to the most important game of the season... in so many ways i am so glad i wasn't there early as planned because i would have been fuming about the lack of interest... the players that did show up played poorly and game up 10 of the 11 runs scored on errors, giving away at least three extra outs every inning which not only allows more runs, but allows the other team more at bats which lets them warm up and get in a groove... it didn't help the team we played had a game before ours and were already warmed up... it was obvious we were not warmed up as a dozen easy outs were bobbled and we might have shut the other team out if we did not make so many errors... so now we are tied for second place and the team we are tied with has the tie-breaker, so we need help from others to make it to the world series this year... ultimately, this team is not ready for the world series and will be beaten bad if we go so i am torn because it is an expensive trip and jackson won't be there and i'm not so sure about the chemistry this year... maybe i can talk jackson into coming along...

i hung out helping with the food consession my team was doing today (though it too was done without effort and therein was lucky to about break even)... it just gets more and more challenging to invest time and energy in the team, but i love the game and will continue trying... after they left (early, and i understand they set up late as well), i stuck around watching other games with a friend who coachins one of the women's teams (unfortunately that team doesn't seem to want to play and lost both games of a double header by big scores)... all in all, sunday is much more social than softball, but i keep hoping it will be more softball... there's always hope...

ultimately the team didn't show up to the biggest game of the season, but i had fun hanging softball friends...

sigh... alas... and narf :)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
