Yup, I'm just sitting at work right now watching baseball with the sound off whilst listening to Bloc Party. It just now dawned on me that I missed my chance to buy tickets to see them on Tuesday before the venue sold out. Oh well...
"Why are you watching baseball?" This may be something your asking. Rightfully so. I pretty much hate all sports nowadays, but when I was just a little billyboy I was all about baseball. I had tons of San Diego Padres pro-fitted hats, collected baseball cards as obsessivly as I now do music, was MVP of my little league team and all that crap. So I guess it is one of the most nostalgic things I can think to be doing. You know, it reminds me of all those long summers when I would run into the house after a day of practice or riding my bike in the cul-de-sac and sit down with a plate of Hamburger Helper and a glass of Kool-Aid to watch the Simpsons (back when they were first on the air)...
...there is no particular reason for Bloc Party other than the fact that they make me a pretty happy kid. I guess if I really wanted to keep it on the childhood memory trip I would be playing Rush or Queen or something (ahhhh, A Night At The Opera. Still one of the best albums. Ever.)
so yeah,
billyboy

OK, now that I got that out of the way, I always hated baseball, but my roommate has finally got me into it. Whiffle ball at th'backyard BBQ was the bait. T'mmarrow I'm going to my first game since I was like 10. By the way I'm glad to hear that you're not working at work. My Tues nites are like that, and I love every minute.

Baseball are the name of my current favourite band. I get to video them on the 8th of June and I am very excited.
