This Seems Familar..., .500, New Orleans
I met a girl on Craigslist. We had immediate personality clickage. I met her in person for a date. She's very similar to my ex. She was very nice, and geeky but she was definitely not what I'm looking for right now. Way too much like my ex - like the things that drove me crazy about my ex, anyways. Oh well. Add in my stomach once again continuing it's further march up my esophagus in an attempt to throttle my brain into submission, and you've pretty much summed up my night.
----------------------------
The Nats are playing terribly, even though we won tonight. Of course - I wasn't there tonight to see them mount a kick-ass comeback (I missed the 2 best games this year, apparently). But the reality that we need to accept is that they're not going to the playoffs this year. But what a year it has been - this has been the greatest baseball year of my life. I will continue to go to games until the season is over, regardless of how they're doing (if they were in last place and 20 games out of 1st, I'd still be there). If ticket prices go up (which I'm sure they will), I'm doubtful I'll get to go as much next year. And I fear my withdrawal. What will I do without Baseball? I'm thinking Basketball may be the next sporting event I try to frequent regularly...
----------------------------
Each and every day I get more and more depressed seeing the images from New Orleans. And each day, I grow angrier and angrier at how this administration has botched this whole thing. Why wasn't the Superdome better supplied before the storm? Why wasn't the National Guard sitting a few hours away, ready to swoop in as soon as the storm passed? Why wasn't food being dropped to survivors for days afterwards? Why is that idiot still in charge of FEMA? And why did that SOB in the White House refuse to stop trying to sell his plan to destroy Social Security while a city was being destroyed and people were dying?
There will be hell to pay for the failures in the aftermath. There should be hell to pay for the negligence prior to the destruction. But first, let's help those we can still help.
