Baseball Road Trip 2008: 2008-06-26
1- Still in the concession area. If they bring the tarp out, we’re going back to the hotel. #
- We left early. The rain is terrible and there’s lightning. #
- Good night, Detroit. #
- Checked out of Detroit. The free breakfast was a nice touch. Heading to Pittsburgh for the last leg of the trip now. #
- Allow me to sum up the scenery in the midwest: Grass, grass, grass, grass and then….moe fucking grass. #
- @xxdesmus It’s not an oiginal plan lol. We used to do that all the time. I haven’t had a long enough shift to have a lunch in a while, tho. #
- We’re now in Pennsylvania. #
- At the hotel, but we can’t checkin until 3pm. Beautiful scenery, though. It’s in the mountains. #
- We checked in. The hotel is very nice, though the new guy behind the desk in the studded shirt was “special”. #
- Official rule to picking a hotel: If the door to your room leads you outside and not into a hallway, don’t stay there. #
- We just drove 300 feet to a diner. We should have read the GPS directions first. #
- On our way to PNC Park, but the traffic is horrendous. #
- At PNC Park. Yanks are doing well, but it is fucking muggy. #

0- For the record, I really miss Melanie. #
- Back to Denny’s for one more breakfast in Cleveland before heading out to Detroit. The food isn’t that good, but the place is too close lol #
- Just checked out of the Sheraton in Cleveland and now we’re off to Detroit. #
- Holy god the scenery in the midwest is as entertaining as punching yourself in the face…with your ring hand. #
- At the Ramada in Detroit. After the Sheraton, this looks like a dump. Greeeeeeat. #
- Oh and we’re at the airport, so it’s nice and loud. #
- Checked in to the Ramada in Detroit. The room is disappointing. #
- On our way to Comerica Park…or is it Tigers Stadium? #
- @xxdesmus lol thats a nasty bug. You running the latest version of WP? #
- So it’s Comerica Park. We went to Tiger Stadium to find it’s the old rundown and, most importantly, abandoned stadium. #
- They don’t have their own parking lot? What the hell is this? #
- Wow, we have upper deck seats, but they’re second row “club seats” and are awesome. No blind spots, padded seats, and a guy to clean them. #
- It’s raining so we’re now out of our seats and in the concession are. #

0- The hotel room is mad nice. Sheraton never fails to impress me. #
- Good morning. Just had a workout in the hotel gym and showered up. Now we’re heading to Denny’s for breakfast. #
- 92.3 KROCK in Cleveland is fucking awesome. So much better than the one in NYC. #
- I am so fucking bored right now. #
- Going to kill some time and go see “Get Smart” at a local theater. #
- “Get Smart” was decent, but the real star continues to be the KROCK station here. God, i want to take it home with me. #
- Off to Wendy’s for a hearty healty dinner before the game. #
- We’re at Progressive Field. #
- We’re in the stadium and it’s very nice. Our seats are sick, too. Field level seats =) #

0- I won’t get to see her until Saturday =( #
- Almost done packing. #
- And away we go…. #
- We just got on the highway and it’s bumper to bumper. Rush hour is supposed to be over. ughhh #
- We’re finally in Jersey. The New Yorker in me wants out, now. #
- We’re in Delaware now. The scenery is absolutely beautiful #
- Scratch that, it’s actually Pennsylvania we’re in. #
- Still in Penn and we just hit some nasty rain. Time to slow down a bit. #
- So we just got a speeding ticket. Let’s just say there was no way of saying we weren’t speeding. #
- And we’re now officially in Ohio. #
Road Trip Twitter Posts
0As you guys and girls should know, Joe and I will be heading out on our baseball road trip starting on Monday, June 23rd. We’ll be hitting Cleveland, Detroit and Pittsburgh. As a way of keeping everyone involved and the site active, I’ll be turning on the Twitter posts. Basically, every day (I believe at midnight), all my Twitter posts from the day will be gathered up and posted as a journal entry on this site. I’ll be “tweeting” more than usual as a way of making sure it’s an interesting read. I hope you all enjoy it or at leats manage to kill some time by reading it.
Twitter posts?
3It’s not secret that I haven’t had much time to post on the site lately. However, I have been pretty proficient at updating my Twitter status (right side) quite often. The plugin that I use to include my latest Twitter status on the right side of the site also gives me the option of automatically creating a new post every day with all of my Tweets from that day. Would you guys be interested in that or would it come off as just being filler content? Sound off in the comments and let me know.
Weezer “Dope Nose” Video
0I’ve been on a Weezer kick, as of late, after buying and loving their new album. This one is an older song, off of “Maladroit”, but it’s a catchy tune and I’ve been listening to it A LOT, lately. Enjoy.
Synthetics
0I’d like to find the inventor of insecure synthetics
And choke him for a bit, just choke him ’til I get it
Cause I don’t understand every damn desire
To conceal away the honesty and wear the label liar
But why do you aspire to change those pretty colors?
Explain to me the reason to change them to another
Let’s say that I’m a lover of the picture right before me
Why do you all assume that the image is so boring?
So, witness me imploring you for any kind of reasoning
Is it for the fun or the spice of varied seasoning?
What is this obsession with your dyes and all these plastics
It’s enough to grade my mind and encourage me to trash it
And do it in a fashion that could be so damn destructive
With fire from the spirit of a man that’s so digusted
Let’s take this vision public and skip right past the effigy
I’ll burn the pretty colors until there’s nothing left to see
So fuck what they’ll sell to see and fuck all these gels
And fuck all the plastics that these magazines sell
And fuck all the blues and then fuck all these reds
And then fuck the synthetics that fuck up your head
And fuck all the lies that wish you to take part in
And fuck every truth that we’ve ever put heart in
Fuck what’s been given, let’s just fuck it all up
Cause I’m too sick and tired to just give a fuck
Notes: One of the first poems in a long time that felt really good to write. Some aren’t going to like it because of the cursing and some won’t like it because of what inspired it all, but it’s really a general rant about the world and one that felt good to get off my chest.
Color of the Wool
0What’s the color of the wool of the lamb that you’re seeing?
Is it pure in it’s whiteness or black and deceiving?
Is the darkness so clear because this light is fleeting?
Or is the nature of me to assume that it’s leaving?
Cause I’m screaming for reasons, but I’m no longer cheating
Or maybe I am because the rules are conceding
If this vision is needed for the sake of believing
I’m glad I can see even through all the beatings
Because all of the bleeding and the crying and teething
Was a process of growing and maturing and breeding
I’ve learned many lessons and now it’s time for heeding
Giving weight to the fact that I am no longer freezing
That my heart is now beating and even though it can stutter
I’m not defined by the hatred cause I’m also a lover
It’s taken time to discover that there was also another
An opposite side of me that’s behind walls to cover
And so when I fall or stutter or lose myself to the darkness
When the shadows are black and my wool’s colored heartless
When I’m looking for targets with the anger I’m parsed with
I can look for the one who can end what has started
And she will take both my hands and bleach out the blackness
And remind me of love and how to forget the distractions
She will look in my eyes and profess that she loves me
And suddenly this world becomes a little less ugly
Fall In The Mix
0When did I learn to bite on my tongue?
I wish to go back and then leave it undone
I would run to the teacher and stop him for one
And for second I then might just block out the sun
So I can knock out the one who taught me this silence
The person who taught me this patience and quiet
This mature damn composure that some see as weakness
I’d erase it away and pretend I don’t need this
Cause I end up speechless when people start speaking
There’s nothing to say but they want to be speakers
Attention is craved and there’s no other reasons
For these people to think they should preach to their legions
The crowds of the leeches who can’t think on their own
So they laugh right along as they hope for a bone
For a string or a rope or a sign of acceptance
Blindly absorbing an asshole’s blind message
They’re lost in obsession, a desire and craving
To blend with the crowd, they aspire to fading
They’re liars in hating as they miss the big picture
They lose who they are as they fall in the mixture
Then friends fade away as they hate what they see
Another blank slate that’s erased of it’s dreams
And every damn day you can’t break from this scene
The four walls around you, the only friend seen
Notes: It’s pretty weak, I know. It started off one way and sort of evolved into another message. I just didn’t want to delete it.
