Ode to a Boy
Have you ever met someone and they don't leave your head. Someone so wrong for you that you want them more. For years I have seen this guy. He's unique, dark, moody, artistic. He is sexy as all hell. I spent one night just hanging out with him. Talking, laughing, drinking... I had the opportunity to kiss him and I pulled away. There are so many reasons for that. He is someone I would love a fling with. I don't think either of us would last a real relationship. It isn't either of us. It's coming up on the one year anniversary since the night I almost kissed him. He's in my head again. I haven't seen him since that night. I had never talked to him more in all the year's I've known him than that night. I want him to know that I think he's amazing. I know he isn't perfect but I don't mind. I admire that. I wish we could just say to hell with what others would say and just see what happens.
Who knows.
Who knows.

Naughty or Nice
The day after Christmas.... Ahhhh... Sleep. Wonderful sleep. It was a good Christmas. Got a digital camera. Books, Dukes of Hazzard on DVD. A new sleeping bag. Spent too many quality hours of family time.
I want to go back to school. I want money. I have none. I have less than none. I am so broke it's not funny. I have no idea how that happened.
If I had my way I'd spend my days watching Sex & the City, Desperate Housewives, Alias and Las Vegas. I would escape reality and live solely for the purpose of fiction.
Happy New Year

Hell Has Frozen Over
1918 is no more. The curse is over. Maybe Babe isn't happy that NY wants to build him a new Condo. Maybe the planets were alligned. Maybe the Baseball Gods were busy playing golf. Maybe the Lunar Eclipse was magical.
These are the signs I saw. First, the Yankees signed A-Fraud and Kevin Brown. Who wants a pitcher on their team, who in a moment of pure selfishness punches a wall and breaks his hand? Who wants a player who plays dirty by blatantly smacking a ball out of a pitcher's hand?
Second, when has Derek Jeter ever committed three errors in one week, let alone in the post season?
Third, the Sox haven't won a World Series in 86 years. They haven't been to the Series since 86. Hmmm... Baseball is a game of numbers.
I've been saying all year that Derek Lowe should get re-signed. Now all of Boston is starting to agree with me. The first player in Major League history to win all three clinching games. Go Derek!!!

June's Ears
My cousin's grandfather, my grandfather's brother passed away last night. He's always been someone I've admired. He's one of those oldtime gentlemen, dashingly handsome, smooth... I'd always envied my cousin for getting to have him around her whole life - 28 years, more than I had with my grandfather.
Warren's wife was hard of hearing and she relied on him to be her ears. He explained things to her when she didn't hear or understand them. He took care of her, told her when her hearing aids were buzzing b/c the fit wasn't correct. He was a man who raised six girls and a granddaughter and devoted his life to his family.
For various reasons, our families didn't see each other as much as we'd have liked. Like with anything, life gets in the way. But I know that both Warren and my grandfather were pleased with the fact that Jamie and I have become the best of friends over the years. She's the only person who gets why I cry whenever my grandfather is brought up in conversation. She knows I feel cheated. I love her and would do anything for her.
I asked Jamie tonight if there was anything her grandfather couldn't do. She said only what her grandmother didn't ask him to do. He couldn't refuse his wife. He was a creative man, intelligent and full of integrity. He believed that his girls were as capable as any boy and that every child was a blessing. I'm honored to have known him and to have been able to consider him family.
Blood isn't required to form family bonds. It's a Graham trait. Jack was a father by choice, Warren was a grandfather and uncle by one as well. Neither needed blood ties to except people as family. Lucky for me.
Jack, Warren and Virginia are together in heaven. Looking down on our "family" and smiling.

Happiness is...
Watching the Red Sox win and having ESPN change the broadcast over to the Dodgers and in THAT moment, it's a close up of Robin Ventura. He had an RBI double in the first. And he's playing third. Imagine that!!!!

Big Comfy Couch
I got my new furniture. It's so comfy. It was so nice to come home after my fisrt day of work yesterday and just flop on it.
I just got home from dinner @ my friend Julie's. She and her husband used to be my neighbors. They were the first to abandon me @ 'the club'. They bought a house and had a new baby girl. She's too cute. Julie is the most amazing cook. She actually gets me to eat meat. Imagine that. I ate ribs and they were yummy.
Two days of work down. So far so good. I like having my own office. Things seem to be running smoothly, although chaotic. I thrive in chaos. I like being busy. Less time to think.
Now I need to go to sleep.

Still Here
A friend sent me this and I liked it, so I am posting the link here:
this is really nice:

I'll warn you it is related to 9-11. It's a nice tribute and appropriate at this anniversary of the event.

Ooohmmmm....
Today was yoga with Lauren. For some reason, midway through class the instructor decided to start calling me Marci. Whatever. There is also a man in our class with a cochlear implant. I am surrounded.
I am having a dispute with my friend Rick about my baseball beliefs. I am sorry. I am a Yankees fan but I am not enjoying them this year. They are not fun this year. I am not into A-Rod. I am missing the players of 96, 98, 99 & 2000. It's so annoying. He's an A's fan and bitter b/c his team is losing.
I have been reading my friend's Blog. I find o out all the interesting news from him. My former home in exile flooded. Didn't think it r ained in hell. *sigh* I think it is time for me to go to bed. Tomorrow is Friday. Yeha!!! Rob also thinks that John Olerud is cool. I am surrounded by insanity.
Work has been good so far. I got my computer today. That was good. I can now email from work. Hehe... Productive, that's me.

Good Day
Whoohoo.. Ventura hit ANOTHER Grand Slam. He is tied for third all time with Willie McCovey and only behind Lou Gerhig (23) and Eddie Murray (19). Gotta love him.
Had a great first day at work. That's good, right? It's a start. Got an actual office. And I'm getting my own computer. Whoohoo!!! The kids don't come till Monday.
Had coffee with my former neighbor. THat was fun.
Came home to find that my furniture is in and I just have to call to set up delivery. I will have a couch!!! Yea!!!!
The only thing that could top this day is if the Red Sox win and so far it is looking good.
I should go to bed now while I am so far ahead.
Tomorrow is Yoga day. Yippee!!!

Go Sox!!!
The Red Sox are making a comeback!! Whoohoo!! Yankees better watch out!
It is my last official day of summer. I spent an outrageous amount of money. Go me. I am not required to go to work tomorrow but seeing as how I have avoided the place and the people all summer I should go in. This year will be better. I will keep telling myself that and hope it is true.
I should be asleep but I just spent hours talking to my neighbor. It is good to have people living here that I can chat with all night.
I am amused by Rob and his John Olerud crusade. Give it up, dude I will never like the man. He is evil, like Jeff Kent and Frank Thomas. I saw Aaron Boone pinstripe jerseys on sale for $30 at the mall today. Made me laugh.
Hmmm.... my new school year resolution is to be more social. I want to email more frequently. I want to see my friends.
It's depressing that the days are getting short. It was dark by 8 pm today. I do so enjoy the day you get that extra hour of sleep back. It's like a holiday.
The Yankees are being babies about the Devil Rays missing the game today. They know they have to worry about the Sox winning so they want to win by forfeit. That's Bullshit. How funny is it that Kevin Brown broke his hand??? It's like the Yankees are slowly imploding. John Kruk wonders if it's because our pitching sucks so bad. We are afraid we won't beat them. I like a team that looks like they are having fun. The Yankees aren't that this year. So, Go Sox!!

SPAC-less
Well, summer is officially over for me. No more SPAC. We ended the season on Journey. They weren't bad. I didn't think I would make it on my last day. I was so sick last night. I was praying to either throw up or die. Neither is exactly fun. But I survived and even acquired a free t-shirt to show for it.
*sigh*
