* while driving home from cleveland on wednesday afternoon, i noticed something funny...
god hates cleveland. nay, god hates all of northeastern ohio. so much that he does not allow the sun to shine anywhere near lake erie. ever.
as i made my way down 71-S, i realized that the closer i got to columbus, the less clouds there were. and just as i hit the mansfield area, the sun came out. i was so relieved to see it that i didnt even flip down the visor or put on my sunglasses. i just let the sun shine directly into my eyeballs without blinking for the rest of my drive.
you know youve just spent some time in cleveland when you are willing to sacrifice your vision by staring directly into the sun. i was so glad to be leaving northeast ohio that being without sight later in life was something i was willing to deal with.
why do people live there, again?
* i pulled some muscle on / in my ribcage on sunday that caused me to be in great pain whenever i tried to breathe for about three days. and i tend to breathe a lot. so that was an issue.
now that i can breathe pain free, i woke up this morning with a little bit of neck soreness, and it has progressed to the point where now i can barely even move my body without my neck and back sending shooting pains throughout my entire person.
those of you who know me well are probably thinking, "yeah - you are hurt. and the sun rises in the east. and the sky is blue. and corey loves topanga. what else is new?"
i dont know. im not sure what this all means or how it is any different from the normal injuries i sustain on a week by week basis. i just know that i have to fill this blog entry with letters and words and sentences and paragraphs, and telling stories helps me accomplish this goal.
such is mango.
* i think the biggest difference between people that live on the streets and people that lives in houses is that people who live in houses are far less likely to perform sexual acts for cocaine.
* i was riding in barndos front seat on the way home from the crew game (FAIL) last night, when he became agitated.
you see, barndo was so concerned with finding the perfect song to play on his ipod, that he couldnt be bothered to pay attention to the road. and when the road had the audacity to curve, he became angry.
i commented that he should write a letter to the mayor of columbus asking him if he knew that there were roads in our fair city that curved. you know, the kind of roads where you actually have to look at when you are driving on it. those type of roads are soooooooo annoying.
he became further angered and struck my about the face with his closed fist. i immediately started to bleed. the blood ran into my eyes, which caused my eyes to water. i mean, its not like i was crying because he hit me. that would be gay. and i swear im not gay. not anymore.
okay, i made that last part up. but the rest of the story is true. and now you know. and knowing is half the battle.
* TJ emailed me a link yesterday that was some sort of gossipy press release that was claiming steve gutenberg had revealed that disney was in the process of making the third edition of the "three men and a baby" franchise (can it really be called a franchise???) titled "three men and a bride". obviously the story will center around mary being a grown-up and getting married.
no word on on whether or not i have won the powerball lottery, because that and another three men and a baby movie are pretty much the only two things i have ever wanted out of life.
* congrats to the yankees for winning the world series. and no, im not kidding.
bitch all you want about how the yankees bought their way to the top. the fact is, they arent breaking any rules, and every penny they spend on their baseball club is well within the law of the sport.
and i have news for you - major league baseball would blow ass if it werent for the new york yankees. and lets not pretend that every fan of every team in every sport in every country in the world doesnt want an owner who is willing to pay to put a superior product out on the field. we all want george steinbrenner to own our teams. and pirate fans, royals fans, oakland fans, and marlins fans - you can send your thank you letters to the yanks whenever you feel like it for all of the money you are getting in profit sharing because of the "evil" empire.
the money argument is bullshit - how many rings have the yankees won this decade thanks to all of the money they spent? the last time i checked, the yankees won the world series in 2000 and 2009. thats a few years in between where teams like the marlins, diamondbacks, white sox, cardinals and phillies were on top of the baseball world.
dont blame the yankees because your teams owner doesnt want to spend a crapload of money. chances are that the owner cant afford to spend that money, because he knows that he wont make that money back even if his team goes undefeated and wins the series in four games. george steinbrenner can afford to spend that money because he knows his investment will pay off. yankees fans will always pack his stadium, buy his jerseys, watch his network, and make him lots of money. thats what a good customer base does for your business.
maybe, just maybe, the problem with your team isnt the yankees. maybe its you. maybe if your fanbase was more like the yankee fanbase, your team could have won the world series this year. maybe your owner could afford to sign free agents and keep the good home-grown talent around long than three or four years.
how could you be angry with an organization that is vastly successful while playing well within the laws that has been set for them by an outside, impartial source?
maybe the reason you hate the yankees is because you are pissed off at yourself. in which case, you are nothing more than a pathetic, desperate hater.
there. now that you have been put in your place, you can sit there for awhile and think about what youve done.
