What an awesome day!

Hey everybody!!
What the hell is goin down my friends? Well howsa bout those Cincinnati Reds? Losers!! Sad story for me, a Reds fan, they didn't go any further than the National Division Playoffs. They lost to the Phillies right out the gate. Oh well, next year. I still have hope for the Bengals though.
My son just went to basketball tryouts yesterday and did well. I'm happy to say, I will not be coaching him in that sport ever again. I learned a valuable lesson last season, some kid's parents are total assholes and especially the couple of moms on my team last time. Those women (especially that one) really ruined the season for me. It was kind of ridiculous. See my previous posts labeled as "basketball" if you don't know the details. It's too painful for me to revisit. On a lighter note however, soccer, soccer, soccer!!! My team is AWESOME and the parents are too. They actually had shirts made for me and my assistant. They got me a plant on my birthday, one parent brought me a coffee and a beer and all of them are supportive, excited and involved. (Just getting me gifts doesn't make me love them but it really helps...).

Ok, I started that a couple nights ago, lost power and didn't get time to finish but since then... wait for it... ok, you've waited forever (in fact someone "gave up"... too bad for you silly...). Here it is... I WENT TO SEE OBAMA SPEAK AT USC TODAY!!! Oh my gawd... it was frickin' cool. I will be holding onto this day for a very long time (my poor family). I mean how awesome is that? Barbara Boxer, Jerry Brown and Villaraigosa were all there. It was a really neat experience. I brought my friend from work and she turned 18 the day after the 2008 presidential election so she didn't get to vote but will this time around. We got right into an easy parking situation and just had to wait in line until the doors opened. At first we could see nothing but then moved to higher ground and could see well enough to take pics and zoom in. We met some cool people and just had a grand ol time. I wish everyone could have gone. It was very thrilling.






I am having a great time with my team and I am sure we will go far in the playoffs. I can't wait to play some of these other teams that haven't had the pleasure of seeing how we "roll".

Again, I'm sorry for the lagging. I've been really busy lately. I will try to get a couple posts in, even if they are short.
