Justine Henin-Haryoukiddingme

In the words of Celine Dion, "Its all coming back...coming back to me now."

I may have recieved the biggest roostering in the history of sports betting. I chose the underdog Amelie Mauresmo to upset Kim Clijsters. While Kim tried to change directions to reach the ball she twisted her ankle and was forced to retire from what was later discovered to be a torn ligament. Although Mauresmo was serving at 3-2 for the final set, I recieved no action on my bet. At least Mauresmo made it past the semis and into the finals. I had another bet on her at 4-1 odds to beat big favorite in small package Justine Henin-Hardenne. Mauresmo won the first set 6-1 and was up 2-0 in the second set win Justine decided she had had enough schooling and needed to go home due to a presumed tummy ache. Again leaving me with no action on my bet. Unbelievable!! After my spectacular rainman-like predictions, I come away with nothing. Naturally I was extremely upset with Justine. A tummy ache? Who retires in the finals of a grand slam tennis tournament because of a tummy ache? In 40 years of grand slam tennis, only 4 people have retired in the finals. I can assure you for much better reasons than a tummy ache.

As a child I played on one the premier little league teams in the city. I may have been of more use working at Premier Catering or Premier Body Repair. (which reminds me, I put a small dent in Connie's car two nights ago...woops!) If getting a single hit (a triple) says anything to you...we'll don't say anything. With two outs in the 9th inning, my team needed me to get a hit. I made up my mind that my tummy hurt to bad for me to even stand in the batters box. Out number three! To all those that played on my team, I apologize for the roostering.

I guess Karma does exist.

The life of the college graduate

After graduation, I just moved back home. I've been sleeping in until approximately 10:45 everyday and staying up until around 1:00. My daytime activities include consuming two bowls of either Life, Raisen Bran Crunch, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The cereal choice is just whatever mom thinks that I'll eat. If Connie (mom) isn't working, I take her car to workout. However, sometimes I have to run to the gym. It's really not too far. I guess that's the price I pay for not having a car. My next big decision comes when I decide to eat something for lunch. My favorite choice is pb&j. I told Connie that she needed to get some more bread at Wal-mart, but she insisted we had some in the freezer. To mask the freezer burn I have to toast the bread. I then proceed to wait for paps to return from work so we can get a bite to eat for dinner and "catch-up" in front of the boob tube. We've finished season 4 of both "Alias" and "24". I'll be leaving for Argentina on February 2. I don't know what I'll be doing until then...most likely more of the same. Living the dream.
