sometimes i feel that i get treated like god, or the messiah or w/e you wanna say. and i don't like it. makes me feel like i'm an egotistacal maniac who is bent on destroying the world. i feel like i have a fucking ego when i'm told i don't.
people tell me all the time that i'm so cool and that i rock and all that. i think it's crock. i don't agree. i'm no better than anyone else in this world.
you people need to stop putting yourselves down in front of me while raising me onto another pedestal higher than your own. it's fucking annoying.

last friday my friend julie was bringing her friend kayleigh home from a party when they got into a massive car accident and kayleigh was killed. the whole school has been depressed all day and it's amazing. julie locked herself in her room and hasn't come out since. and kayleigh's mom locked herself in her room and won't come out until kayleigh comes home. kayleigh is supposedly still logged on to her computer.
my feelings are thus. to put it frankly, i don't really care. yeah, i'll talk about it but that's because i'm curious. i'm done after today, i've learned all that i want to know. and this doesn't make me the least bit sad. speaking of which, death just doesn't fucking faze me. and everyone has been yelling at me all day about being inconsiderate. is telling the fucking truth being inconsiderate? seriously answer me that. and you people seriously don't understand what the fuck i've been through.
so before you even go to tell to me to be more considerate, seriously dude, go kill yourself.

this post is dedicated to probably one of the most reliable baseball/softballs i've ever owned. this ball has been through hell and high water.
he was there when lauren elbowed kyle in the balls. when we were using it as a weapon to hit kiefer. when i threw my first knuckle ball. when i actually played my first actually practice of softball/baseball.
today that softball has passed at the age of 2 years old. he passed when, while throwing a fastball, he flew under the fence, and got jammed between my neighbor's fence and the dirt stopper wooden wall (i'm sure you know what that is, it has logs and stuff). what seperates me from it is a fence and a large set of bushes. forever losing the ball.
he is survived by 1 player, 3 baseball gloves, and 3 tennis balls.
you will forever be in my thoughts. along with lauren's.

i feel so stupid right now >.<
i screwed up a lot of the numbers on my biography for jimmy piersall. i made myself look like a fucking idiot. and then i forget to include a picture D= it's so horribly stupid. luckily tim got the numbers, and i hope they don't get mad because the bio isn't up yet, or they post one before they get mine. make all my hard work go for nothing.
if my numbers are wrong, then what if the rest of the bio is wrong?

done
i just finished the jimmy piersall for top 100 red sox which you might wanna check out for some pretty cool information. so, here is the jimmy piersall biography in all it's glory =]
Jimmy Piersall, CF, #2, (1950-1958)
Career Stats:
1734 G, 104 HR, 591 RBI, .272 Avg., .332 OBP, .386 SLG
November 14, 1929 was the date and Waterbury, CT was the place where James Anthony Piersall, a boy who was going to grow up to be a centerfielder in the MLB, was born.
He started out as a high school basketball player at Leavenworth High School. During his time there the team went to the 1947 New England Championship. He landed 29 points in the final game.
He signed a minor league contract with the Sox in 1948 at the age of 18. He would play his first major league games 2 years later in 1950, he only played six games but during that time he was one of the youngest baseball players. He managed to earn the nickname “The Waterbury Wizard”, much to his teammate’s chagrin.
During his first years in MLB his bipolar disorder began to show itself and become prevalent, which is would do a few more times after that. Prior to a May 24th game against the Yankees he got into a brawl with Billy Martin. He also managed to get into a fight with Mickey McDermott, at that time his teammate. After all this odd behavior they sent him down to the Birmingham Barons. Not after he disciplined Vern Stephens’ 4 year old son in the Red Sox clubhouse.
During 3 week time period on the Barons he got kicked out of 4 games. His last one after firing a water gun at home plate to celebrate a teammates homerun and, after being ejected, heckling umpire Neil Strocchia from the grandstand roof. From all of this he received a 3 day suspension and 3 days later checked himself into Westboro State Hospital in Mass. He spent the rest of the baseball season in the hospital. He blamed his condition on his father for pressuring him too much about baseball.
He made his return in 1953 and got voted 9th in MVP voting for that year. The year following that he took Dom DiMaggio’s place in the outfield and stayed in the starting line-up until 1958. During this time, in 1954 and 1956 he got voted into the AL All-Star team. He also managed to clinch a Gold Glove for his outfielding in 1958. In 1956 he managed to pull a league high 40 doubles in 156 games played. He also managed to rake in 93 runs, 87 RBIs, and a .293 batting average.
He got traded to the Cleveland Indians for Vic Wertz and Gary Geiger on December 2, 1958. He, oddly enough, got stuck on the same team as Billy Martin. In 1959 the Indians battled a back and forth battle with the White Sox and in the end only ended up placing 2nd. After coming off this good season, things began to change.
Following up to his being ordered to get a psychiatric check on June 26, he heckled an umpire, threw a ball at the White Sox scoreboard, wore a little league helmet at a Tigers game, and started a few rows with the Yankees. He came back on July 23rd but got his last ejection of the season for causing problems in the outfield while Ted Williams was batting. After a meeting and a few front office changes he finally got back down to earth.
The 1961 season turned into a good one for him, he managed to earn another Gold Glove. He also managed to hold a .322 batting average, placing himself 3rd. Unfortunately, this season was also marred by his antics. He tried to go after Jim Bunning after he hit him with a pitch (more than likely on accident). He also ended up throwing a helmet, altogether costing him $200 in fines. On September 5th of that season he father passed away from a heart attack. 2 days after the funeral for his father he headed out to New York only to heckled, himself, by fans. On Sept. 10, after continued annoyance from fans, he finally punched one and attempted to kick another. After all this he still earned $2500 for good behavior.
On October 5th Piersall was sent to the Washington Senators. He didn’t spend much time there because of playing decline. He was sent to the Mets on May 23, 1963. He got sent back to a reserve role while playing for the Mets. During his Mets career he also hit his 100th homerun, which he celebrated by running around the bases backwards (in order of course).
A month after reaching 100 homeruns he got released by the Mets and then signed by the Los Angeles Angels. He retired an Angel and moved to the Angels front office on May 8th, 1967.
After his career he did a little TV commentating for the Angels but was fired was criticizing the team just a little too much. He also wrote a book about bipolar disorder and how he handled it, Fear Strikes Out. It was also made into a movie. In the end, Piersall decided not to endorse the movie because it didn’t display the facts right. He also wrote The Truth Hurts which is about the White Sox and his leaving. He now does a radio show in Chicago and got invited to the White House for the honoring of the 2004 Red Sox Championship.
And odd little tidbit I noticed and I’d figure I’d share is that he’s the godfather of former Congressman Mark Foley.

i just had a random thought. about my future. as much as i'm a people person, what if i became a recluse or a loner? everything sounds like it would be so much more intimate and nice. you can take in more and aren't distracted by what the person does or says. "wish you were here" evoked this thought in my head. rather odd really that it would be that song. but the descriptive language boyd uses gets you thinking, "if you're alone and you see all this, is it just as good as that?" it probably is. but it's better.
alright, here is what this blog is going to consist of: (i figured i'd lay all this down now)
-poor capitalization
-really annoying posts.
-lots of netspeak because i'm an asshole.
-lots of mentions of furcadia (so do you're research now)
-news items i find humorously stupid
-really good david letterman top 10 lists
-lots of red sox
-or just baseball in general
-and just about anything i want.
i'll post more later =]
