Six days later

Sometimes I feel bad for neglecting this stupid little blog. I probably look at it almost every day, but I just don't seem to have the energy or a blog-worthy subject at the same intervals. When I have something cool to say, I'm too bogged down in the day to day grind or just lazy. Whenever I feel like sharing something, I have nothing of any importance to share.

Blah.

So I would probably say that the biggest news for me right now has been the recent MLB trades involving the beloved yet failing Texas Rangers. Not only did we send the likeable Mench, the questionable Cordero, and the never-will-be-anything Nix to Milwaukee, but we received All-Star Lee in return. I just saw where they made a trade with Colorado for a catcher (for cash), which should mean that Barajas (not Laird, please not Laird) should be on his way out the door, hopefully involved in a trade that would send the one-dimensional (HR or bust) Blalock to the Orioles for a certain Miguel Tejada. It sounds like a good idea, but we will likely be unable to pull it off. On another front, NFL training camp has begun, and I'm already rubbing my hands together in anticipation.
The sports scene is improving on a daily basis which is not necessarily a good thing for my studies.

On another note, I have recently contracted some type of ear ailment (no hearing AIDS jokes, please) which has left me lying on my left side with cotton in my ear. Reminds me of a camping trip I went on once . . .

This ear inflammation was likely caused by the asswhip of water rides at theme parks.

Here is the family at Six Flags on Saturday, enjoying the heat along with 15 million other people. I think the longest wait was 1:45 minutes for a roller coaster.

On the left is my daughter, then my son, then some random girl, then my wife. My son was not really digging putting the hands up:


Good times.
