The State of My Headphones:: Anthony Hamilton - Comin' From Where I'm From
If you haven't heard the song "Comin' From Where I'm From" by Anthony Hamilton, from the album of the same name, I very strongly recommend that you cruise over to iTunes and listen to the preview.

It's a very chill song. Kind of a modern day, evolutionary descendant of the blues, with modern R&B instrumentation and smooth vocal harmonies. Great song for a rainy day, or to cheer you up and help you relax when you're pissed off, or down.


$0.99 is a small price to pay for this kind of aural bliss. =0

Oh, well. Considering how all of my non Sox fan friends (yes, I do have them) were gloating and talking about how badly beaten the Sox were getting, I suppose I should be happy that they made the incredible comeback that they did. Those Sox - I swear, they're drama whores and doing it on purpose. =0

A massive rally in the last three games. But tragically, it was too little, too late. At least the series ran a full seven games and the last game was a nail biter. No one can say Boston aren't still worthy of their revered status. I look forward to Lowell coming back next season, and maybe a further refinement of the batting lineup and bullpen*. Everything else is pretty solid, as we proved.


* Speaking of the bullpen, it's already great; Okajima ("Hideki!"), Masterson, and Papelbon performed masterfully. If we get a couple more relievers like them, and our starters can stay on top of their game, we should be nearly impossible to score on most of the time.

Let's hope the Sox can take back their rightful place at the top next year. Until then, I intend to root for the Rays, who have us a hell of a fight! I don't have to like them, but I respect them. =)

I was telling everyone Daisuke Matsuzaka would pitch another great opening. It turns out he allowed five runs, but he DID make some great plays on the field, including catching a line drive that came right at his head (I would have turned away like George Michael in Arrested Development, LOL) and running to 1st for a tag.

Despite trailing 0-7 in the bottom of the seventh, the Sox launched an epic comeback that made me proud.

Even if they end up losing the series, I'll be happy that they rallied. This win was enough to appease me.

That being said, of course I'd love to see the Sox win the World Series again this year! ^_^

Ugh.

All of this "Joe" stuff is so condescending.

I suppose Joe the Plumber is a step up from Joe Six Pack. I just can't wait for this election to be over. We need to get a Democrat in the White House ASAP.

Hello, Internet.

It's me, Aaron.

Long time, no post. I know. I know.

I miss my girlfriend. Well, I guess she is my ex-girlfriend now.

There, I said it. I miss her. I wish I had never broken up with her. I just couldn't take it, she had trust issues. She thought I was cheating on her. Ugh. I have not had any kind of relationship since the breakup, and I guess I'm just kind of in Limbo emotionally.

I thought the time away would give me room for self improvement, whatever that means. And I suppose it has, but I get lonely often (I know, I know; whinge, whinge, whinge...) and I miss our amazing conversations. It was nice just to have someone I could talk to about ANYTHING with, you know?

Like, I can talk to some of my friends about some things, like games or movies or comics or music, and I can talk to some of my friends about religion, politics, philosophy, psychology, etc, and I can talk to some of my friends about fetish and kinky stuff, and whatever. But how many people can I talk about all of that stuff with, without them being either weirded out or bored or whatever by one or another subject? Not many. And most of the ones I could, I've lost touch with because I'm an introverted, self-loathing freak who thinks no one really wants to talk to me, hence I don't call them.

Whee. Self-hating for the WIN.

Alright, I'm being dramatic, I don't feel that bad, really. But you know how sometimes you just get on one of those kicks. I feel a lot better now, actually. W00t.

Thanks for listening, Internet. Feel free to poke fun at me now.

Putting together a spot with a guy from a dealership who phoned in... he sounds kinda like my girlfriend's father, except he talks kind of like Coach Z, inasmuch as he said "... or da car is free!"




As Coach Z himself would say:

"Gotta go now, take da care!

Oh, and by that I mean tender lovin' care... not my automobile... a lot of times people have trouble understandin'..."
