Do I know you from somewhere?...

I guess it's time for me to join the masses and create a facebook page.

I really don't want to - it's just something else I will have to take care of; I'd rather get another houseplant. (Not that I can keep those alive for long either) I think the concept of MySpace is great. I even made a page there. Facebook isn't really any different when it all comes down to it - is it? You make a page, put up some pictures and find people that you haven't seen or spoken to in years. In some instances this is great! I've found many a friend through MySpace, that I'd been unable to contact any other way and I am grateful.

On the flip side though, there are some people you'd just as soon forget - and if I make a facebook page, then they can find me! They're already doing it - through my daughter's facebook page!!! She is tired of forwarding me email, and responding to the people who tell her that they went to school with me, knew me when we were 8; or worked with me at 'such and such a place'. She threatened that if I didn't make one, she'd make it for me!

Maybe I should let her. She's on there every day - several times! She's always running and saying "Be right back, I gotta go update my facebook page...Can I get copies of those pictures, I'd like them for my facebook page...Oh, I didn't know you knew so and so, he's my friend on facebook!" I just can't keep up!

Now don't get me wrong, so far, everyone who's gotten in touch with me (through Caitlin's page) has been someone I've thought about through the years, and reminiced fondly of our adventures together. But, I know that eventually, there will be someone who I have to add as my friend, because if I don't - they'll be all hurt and sad and wondering why I didn't make them my facebook friend...you know how it goes.

Of course this entails a new photo, and a new profile and just thinking about it exhausts me so much I need a nap...

Rock on with your bad self...

What's up with MLB?

It's October...and for baseball fans that means one thing...PLAYOFFS!

So let me pose this question...why does MLB insist upon putting games on TV so late at night? Our beloved Boston Red Sox don't take the field until 10 p.m. EST! If you live in California where the Angels play...that's GREAT...there's plenty of time to get home from work, have dinner, grab a frosty brew of choice and kick back for the game.

Hey MLB...how about a little love for us friggin' east coasters? By 10 p.m. I'll be sawing logs...and even if I can make it to 10 o'clock I'll be bobbin' for chest hair midway through the 1st inning.

Is putting the game on at 8:30 p.m. EST too much to ask? That still gives Angels fans time to get home and see the majority of the game. And even if they miss a couple of innings...who cares...most people don't watch the entire game anyway. Even if we stay up to watch the first couple of innings it's still a late night...and most everyone I know WORKS for a living and gets up at the butt-crack of dawn!

Plus think how much money MLB is losing out on in advertising dollars from east coast viewers. Here's a tip Bud Selig...if we're asleep we don't see the commercials...and then we don't buy what they're selling on TV.

All I can say at this point is thank God for ESPN Sportscenter and the Internet so I can see what happened.



OK, that's it...I'm off to catch a nap so I can at least see the first inning.

Talk to you in the morning!
