Monday evening and a random story

Random story goes first. I was playing guitar dancing around in my apt and the people above me were screaming at each other. This is not the first time it has happened, I didn't hear any violence so I just moved onto playing guitar. Then I get a knock on the door. I open it up thinking it is going to be Kris Von German and it is the police. The first thing I say to them is "What? Am I rocking too loud?" which is funny because the guitar wasn't even plugged in. Then the police officers asked me which one was doing the shouting and I explained "They both sound like men..sir" so the police went on their way. Their uniforms looked good and I was satisfied with my tax money and the way it was used that night. I didn't hear any more yelling. Monday was ok. It is hard to get motivated to do anything sometimes for me, but I owe it to myself to get out of bed go to work and to be of service. My friend R+L asked me for a ride after work and I was kinda grumpy about it, but if I am going to talk about being of service, I need to take the action of being of service. So I gave R+L a ride and now I can write about it and say...look at me...I give back to the world wooooooo that way I don't feel as guilty when I stuff 22 crab Rangoon in my pocket at the local Chinese Buffet.

Sunday recap

Sunday was alright. I would hate to admit how much my revolves around football, but filling up Sunday is tough without it. I woke up went for a walk, then played cards, went and visited Bryce, Vinnie, Charlie, and others. Watched the brickyard 400 (with empty stands) I played on my phone all day. I went for another walk. I got some Mr. Goodcents. Then at night I went to Black Dog and hung out most the night. It was a good day to just do random things. I wasn't in the mood to sit in the APT. The Royals lost again. So now it is just being patient until the first Football game of the year.

Royals and SKC Mailing it in.

Royals are just playing out the season. Butler is doing well, but I haven't watched them the last couple of game because they don't look interested in winning. Sporting KC has been putting good pressure on the opposite teams, they just haven't been scoring. I am having trouble at game cheering at Sporting Games because they don't have an attacker that can create and score. All the chances come from wild crosses and volleys and involve a lot of prayer and luck. Sporting KC played like crap this time last year and I think they will get a bit of a boost once the weather turns and the games start to mean more. Sporting KC did get a new defender that is from the eastern block. That makes this SKC team more of a defensive team. So if Sporting gets to the playoffs and plays well it is because of Besler-Collin-Meyers-Checkrepublicguy-Jimmy Nielson. I did have fun even though I was being alittle bit grumpy. I went to the Columbus-Sporting game with my friend R+L. We had a good time and listened to techno after the game. I don't know what to even say about the Royals anymore. I take a look at the Angels who have added Grienke and Pujols and I think they Royals are never going to make the moves to win. They are in love with their prospects. Normal winning teams prospects don't mean much until they actually play at the major league level, but to the Royals they protect them like they are Rocky Colavito. Rany things that there maybe a big shake up,like trading prospects for Josh Johnson. We shall see. I think the outlook is bleak. They are going with what they have and are going to continue to suck...suck with their awesomely rated prospects at the major league level. On a personal note I got up and went for a 2 mile walk on Sunday. The weather has been better and it is nice to have the time to fit in a workout.

Getting a haircut

I went to get a haircut today. It never takes very long at this place I go to. Today was no different. I am always in and out. I am always surprised at how quick it is. Jiffy lube seems to take awhile and don't get me started on a doctors office or DMV visit. So that is something I want to make sure I blog on. Thank you Clips place for getting my haircut quickly. I really let my hair grow this time. My sideburns were all crazy and my hair is a messy mix of red/grey/brown. I tried to cut it myself but I think based on the hair dressers reaction to me taking my hat off says it all. "Wow that looks like shit" she said as she stared at my unruly hair. I think it is important if you want to be a Baller/Shot Caller to get your hair and beard together. People can tell up close if you care what you look like or if you are going for the "May or may-not have AIDS" look. Sometimes if you have a giant pimple or if you have been really busy then you have to roll what you look like, but other times it just takes some effort to clean yourself. Make no mistake about it, I went years with bad hygene and a "Urge" hoodie with nachos all over it. When I did clean myself up people treated me different.

Saturday

Woke up today in a decent mood. I hung up clothes that I had failed to hang up last week. I went for along walk. Listened to a buttload of A.F.I songs and enjoyed my walk. Congrats to V-Foundation for running a Marathon this Saturday. You get out what you put in and he is a champion cut from the same clothe as Kobe Bryant. Speaking of Olympic spirit I read an article about Rappers in St. Joseph. Now that has to be hard, because people hate everything in St. Joseph. Everyone usually just bitches about everything then puts out their cigerette takes a swig of beer and heads to 3rd shift at Wire Rope. If those rappers can make it through St. Joseph haters they can make it anywhere. Pretty much everyone on this world, wants you to fail, they want to take you off your path. I think even some friends and family want you to not achieve your greatness because of their own ideas of what you should do with your life. What mom doesn't want to tell their fellow friends "My kid is doctor" instead of "My son is 2nd rapper in the group 816 Ruff Tymers.

The Royals are completely mailing it in.

Another loss and I start to wonder of Yost is back next year. The Royals stink and they are lucky that football season is coming up or the heat would really be on. Columbus plays at Sporting KC this weekend, I don't think Reteria is playing, which he is one of my favorite non SKC players. I like Renteria because he looks like a body builder out there compared to the rest of the league. I slept well yesterday so hopefully I will have plenty of rest for this weekend.

Thursday

Thursday had nothing in store really.It was a struggle to get through the day. I did get to munch on some Boy Scout popcorn. It was chocolate dipped popcorn so it was actually pretty good. I went for a couple walks so I really paid the price to say in the best shape I can/possibly in better shape. I have to say even with lifes ups and downs some of my friends are making me proud. Kris Von German had his three month review and it was good. Jason is pretty honest with me about trying to make out with a slore that I dated a couple times, Slore (Slut + Whore) and R.L. he asked out a girl who stood him up, but he pushed through the pain to get a lunch date with another girl and he has an internship at a bank. Good work guys! The older I get the more joy I get out watching other people do good things.

Wednesday Wrap up

Yesterday was pretty fun. I hung out with Raymond, then with Jason at the coffee shop. I drank a ton of coffee, I played Fifa, I laughed, I cried, and I grew up a bit. The Royals lost and former Wizard Eddie Johnson scored the game winner in the MLS all-star game. I have been doing pretty good lately. Work and life haven't been perfect, but it never is. So it looks like it may rain today. I might have to do a rain dance like Shawn Kemp of the Super Sonics from 1993

Tuesday

Tuesday I came home and walked in the heat, I then ate wings and peanuts. I played Fifa a ton and just hung out. I felt pretty good not throwing my controller around playing fifa. I tend to do that. I don't know if I am getting better or worse at the game, but I am making more money to buy better players. I also have scouts set up in Ireland, USA, and Brazil. That is where the top footballers come from. Speaking of Futbol. SKC got their shit rocked yesterday in a friendly, but non of their starters were there, they are in the ALL-STAR game tonight. Shout out to Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain who are playing well for the Royals. The Chiefs are due to be back in Training Camp soon. can't wait to see Matt Cassel at Wileys Lounge and bar.

Trying not to let things OWN ME

Well today was going good. Then I looked up my bank account. Whoa my last deposit didn't go through. It was a couple weeks ago. So I go on panic mode. Well I need to take the day off to solve this. I am going to call up US BANK and yell at them. Thinking off all that hard work and lost money was making me sick. I was determined to not let the situation own me. I prayed, I wrote about it, I am a greedy bastard and I want all the money I can get my grubby hands on. So I know I couldn't do anything but have a good attitude and do what I could to get the situation straightened out. Everything happens for a reason? I thought maybe this would be a learning situation for a bank teller, that they could learn that they screwed up my deposit and not let it happen with a more important customer. I just tried to be as positive as possible. At least I have a deposit to lose you know? Some people in Africa, they have no money or deposits, all they have is those flies that are always around their heads. The only deposit those people have is some dried rice in their mouths. So I wait until lunchtime to go over there, which is a miracle in itself because usually I would go over there right away. I go in pretty relaxed, not knowing what was going to happen. So the line is long. "Wow...life is really testing my patience today" "oh well, I am getting stronger as a person" this is what I thought to myself. I start flirting with the red-haired girl in front of me while waiting in line. That went well, I tried to get her number but she said she had a boyfriend. So ok I was in a better mood already...So after I got done putting my mack on I go to the teller who helped me very well and there was a black guy (New) who was also chatting with me who worked there. I explained how I handle rough customers and how it is tough working at a bank. "People are mad or frustrated at the bank because they are scared of losing their hard earned cash, or time" Don't take thing personal and always come back to work. Keep working with customers and notice yourself get better. Overall I am glad to see a young guy like yourself out here getting yourself some...some experience, some money, some of life" The black guy seemed to be really enjoying what I had to say and it made me feel better to just see a person out doing what it takes to make some money. I also was telling him how hard it was to put my mack on girls when it was so hot out. He laughed. My deposit situation was solved and I really was happy with the whole situation. Loss of romances and finances have always OWNED my entire day. With some prayer and some change of attitude the situation turned out t be special.

Tuesday Morning

Tuesday morning I woke up and I am hanging out in my Red Couch. Just enjoying the morning. I didn't watch the Royals yesterday, I instead watched Breaking Bad and played Fifa. Today is Match Day for SKC. I am not even sure they are on TV. I am just happy I am healthy today. Also my phone company received my broken phone ok, so the drama of me breaking my phone seems to be over. Got the new phone, activated the data and the sim card, sent the old phone back with the parts. I haven't received the bill yet so the drama my not quite be over, but I will sure to block about it because it keeps everyone ribbited (insert picture of frog)

Monday night

Ichiro to the Yankees. The more things change, the more Baseball stays the same. Yankees buying plays. As I am typing this Mike Aviles is playing well for Boston. Yeah! He is truly "The Situation" Today was ok, it was very hot, I went for 2 small walks. Nothing too big. I wore my " Robots in disguise T-Shirt. People love that shirt that is for sure. So I am confused about The British Open. All week long they called it "The Open" Cool I thought, the U.S. Open. Nope....it is The British Open, yet they didn't call that. I almost got pissed, but then I remembered I only have so many fucks to give and most of those fucks are given directly to Dayton Moore and the Flying shitbags known as the Royals. So where do we go from here? Well atleast Wil Myers is still hitting homeruns, now get his ass up to the Majors! Sporting KC. Tomorrow SKC plays a friendly against Montpillar, a team from France. I have nothing really to say about the game other than we are going to play a bunch of of backups since it doesn't mean anything. One thing that was interesting is there were French people who spoke horrible English at the New England game. I always think of the french doing two things. Losing a wore, or being all snobby and old. These were guys in their early 20's with that horrible french WEEE WEE WEE accent. It was very bizzare and I kinda wanted to break their necks Segal Style, but they seemd to be having fun so I decided not to snap their necks this night.

Royals next year

The Royals next year need to make a splash in free agency. If they don't then it is official. This franchise isn't serious about winning. They are starting to look like they were NEVER serious about winning and just hoped on luck. Now it looks like the Glass family is just happy to collect money and run the team into last place every year. It is sad because they really have a good core group of guys, but if they don't get pitching it will be like Dye, Damon, Beltran, and Sweeney all over again. Plenty of bats and no pitching.

Saturday Night and Sunday morning recap

On Saturday. I woke up and did laundry, I went for two different walks. So I got in four miles. I messed around on the internet. I went and bought 40 dollars of food. I cooked chicken and ate buttered puffs. I bought taco bell because I am bored with regular baked chicken, I then stuffed a burrito supreme with freshly baked chicken. That was pretty good. There was little to nothing on TV. I then checked the cauldron/ticket site on facebook and decided to head out the the SKC game, if for nothing else I could hang out in the bar section and watch the royals and peak out to see what Sporting was doing. Got to the soccer park bummed around in the members section watching the Royals and F1 racing. The game started and it was a volley fest. Not a whole lot of real chances and a 0-0 tie. Bobby Convey was back, which he looked sure on the ball, Harrington was playing for Chance Myers, Nagumora was playing for Espinoza (who is in the Olympics. So a tie and getting a point was pretty good considering we were short handed. No Bunburry as well (WTF?) It wasn't a good time in the Cauldron because people were bitching and moaning at the people not singing. So hopefully a match that is more important goes better on and off the field. I got out of there and just thought, well SKC did what they needed to do to get a point. The Royals won yesterday as well... they may get a series win this weekend! Sunday I went for another walk...so I am getting plenty of walks in because I have plenty of time this weekend to do so.

Friday night and Saturday

Friday night I came home put some stuff away and slept in my red chair for awhile. I the woke up groggy and went for a walk of 2 miles. I was listening to the Royals on my headphones while walking and it was pretty enjoyable. I then came home and messed around on the internet while watching the Royals. I texted some people and the Royals lost. They are heading to last place again. I have been reading about Batman and that movie sounds awesome. I will probably see it soon and talk all gruff like Batman does sometimes.. Like HEY....CAN I GET SOME SKITTLES......PLEASE......I'm Batman. I woke up on saturday and went for another walk while listening to music. I then relaxed and headed to ALDI to pick up some food for the week. Threw in a load of laundry and am hanging out in my apartment. I am thinking of what I can do for fun, but just wasting time around the apartment is pretty fun, especially if there is music on. I have been wearing this Brazil Soccer T-Shirt my dad bought for me and it is very comfortable.

Crap on a stick

Royals continue to suck. I had a good run of jokes with Byrdman and The Elder Statesman today over text. The premise was that the food chain "Boston Market" Should have boston themed food. Like the Larry Bird 3 pointer platter with Duck, Chicken and Turkey. The Pedro Martinez Sliders. We could even have the rock band Boston re record More than a Feeling to have it say More than a feeding Rant for a second... Woman are not logical beasts my friends. They will stand you up, not call you back, do whatever they please. Why? Cause they can. There will always be some chump to take care of them, all because of their V. So what can he do? Keep his head up, deal with the pain and do the next right thing. So if you get stood up, play video games, give back to someone else, keep moving forward. I had a pretty good Thursday overall. I still have the same goals I always do. Keep trying to save to buy a house, work hard and grow, put some money away for retirement, and keep having fun. I have struggled and struggled just to get through days lately, today was an easier day. You can't have any progress without struggle. Missouri Western and Chiefs will be clacking pads soon. Can't wait.

Fifa and Billy Butler

Kris Von German started playing fifa awhile back, now I am addicted again. It is the only game that I debate if I should go do life stuff or just stay at home and play online all day. Great game. Speaking of segways....Billy Butler hit a walk off shot yesterday. Congrats to him. On the music front I have been listening to M-83, Gotye, and the Vacationers. Gotye had an awesome video for his trippy song "State of the Art" M-83 is synth pop, and Vacationers is alittle crunchy neo-motown band. Looking forward to the Killers new album in the fall as well.

Royals and Sporting KC

Houston continues to beat up on SKC. We played them tough to a 0-0 tie first game, and they beat us in their house tonight. Nice to see Kei Kamara get a goal and I hope Seth Sinovic is ok. Chicago is supposed to be Sporting KC's rivals but I really hate Houston because they took SKC out of the playoffs last year. The Royals have been sucking really bad as of late. They were in it longer than ususal this year, but their pitching has been woeful. Six years 150 rounds of drafts, Free Agency and Dayton Moore hasn't put together a pitching staff worth a crap. The time has to be ticking on his job. Greg Holland in the bullpen has looked great this year. Cain has looked like Willie Mays since coming back. He looked awesome in spring training, glad he has came back hot. I went for a walk today and also walked to black dog. It was not fun to be outside, but I put in some work and feel good about myself. It has gotten to the point where I am 31, I am just pretty happy for myself if I get out of bed. So I keep moving forward with my life, I have noticed that I do a decent job of getting up off the turf if I get turned down for a job, a girl dumps me, or if I just feel crappy. You just have to push forward don't let your feelings stand in the way from doing your job and doing work. One my my friends, he hasn't lived too much yet. He is going to be in a world of shit now that he is dating haha. Anyway good for him for having the balls to go for it!

Monday

Monday was full of surprises and adventures. I mean adventures like two for one candy day at Hy-Vee. I prayed, I wrote, I worked, and hung out with friends. It was very joyous time. The Royals lost and Sanchez is such a pile of crap I am surprised there aren't flys all over him. I think he has some problems at home because he looks like he doesn't want to be there. So I hope his personal life gets better and that he pitches well for someone else, because it won't be here anymore. The Chiefs are opening up their season soon. Bowe wants a monster contract, he does go into Beast Mode sometimes, but he also goes into Drop Mode quite a bit as well. Cassel supporters said that the fans shouldn't boo him at softball games, well he should suck. That is kind of the math equation there You Suck + Passionate fans = books and possibly bags of cherry mashes thrown at you.

Sunday night

At 6 I was feeling alittle blue, so I went to Black Dog to have the strongest coffee around. My friend Shannon was there and she was on a date. Her date left and she left, and I was like...that is odd that she didn't stay and talk to me. I just hung out side and listened to some tatoo'd girls talk about how they were dumped. Shannon came back and my other friends showed up and we sat around talking and hanging out for about 6 hours. That was a long stretch of just feeling good and joking around. I don't think I thought about work or doing chores the entire time. That is a rare thing that I don't ruin a good time by thinking. I played M-83, The Mountain Goats, Young the Giant, and Naked and Famous on my phone. It was a great night for sure. Black Dog coffee has a giant amount of caffeene in it. That helped as well.

That was a bad loss for The Royals

I woke up today and was sluggish. I was able to draw a stick figure of Teal Bunburry and post it on the group "The Cauldron" It recieved 8 likes. The Royals lost despite having a great outing by Mendoza. My friend V-Foundation managed to piss off Adam Dunn and Adam Dunn has responding by hitting 4500000000 homeruns against the royals this year. So The Royals start out the second half by losing a series. I was able to go to Dollar Tree so I could buy a couple Stars and Stripes cola's there were hot girls in there. I guess the chicks love a good deal! Back to work tomorrow. I have to go to the bank and have to gather some packages. It should be a busy week.

Royals and Sporting KC

A nice bounce back win for the Royals today. They really needed one and Escobar came up large. There is so much talent on this team, just not showing up in the wins and losses. I hope they get one tomorrow and they can extend the hope of this season further. I love having a lineup that you really can't relax on. Sporting KC took care of business against Columbus. I though Columbus outplayed SKC but SKC got a couple beautiful plays and it doesn't matter how well you keep your shape, how well you hold the ball, it is how many goals you have. Jacob Peterson looked like a star at RW but he got hurt. I hope he is ok. Sapong did his normal disappearing act. Kei looked good, teal looked ok and had a great goal.

Diamond Club seats

When you listen to the song Cheap Seats by Alabama it really makes you think of a group of beer chugging 3rd shifters from Wire Rope pounding beers and yelling at Orlando Mchispanicname. I heard that song and I thought to myself. Wow I don't remember the last time I had cheap seats for any game. I guess I am lucky, but also I know how hard I work so I can have the best viewing possible. I want to be so close to the action I can smell Matt Stairs's hangover. I want to see every dive possible by my favorite soccer players. The K's food and their upper class seatery and eatery have come along ways since the 80's. I had a pizza at the game yesterday and it was DELICIOUS.

Friday the 13th

Friday came and went. I went out to the K and had fun with my family. My Dad got the best seats you can possibly get. I sat around scouts and Bob Hamelin. The seats were cushioned and I was really in heaven. We had a waiter for a baseball game. Which is obviously something from St. Joseph we are not used too. Onto the game... Cain was back in center and he played well. Frenchy and Moose had homeruns. Chen stunk, Dyson is truely a fast black guy with no idea how to play baseball, and the Royals loss. It is somewhat sad because they had a full crowd and a chance to really make a move coming out of the All-Star break. They are back at it tonight. Sporting KC plays Columbus tonight. Pretty big game as it is in Eastern Conference game which is always big. I am trying to get my Open Cup Final tickets. Hopefully I will be able to buy them soon.

Hello Friday what is your sign?

Hello and welcome to the jungle! It is Friday and I will be headed to the ballpark after the game. It should be fun and joyous because after along week working hard in the cornfield I will have a couple hours to enjoy men with sticks hitting cowhide around. I will probably enjoy in ball park fare such as yelling at the officials and commenting on how what a nice rump the lady in row B has. I will also be greated by exotic workers asking me of I wanted a iced lemon treat.

One more thing

So I noticed my Brooks Brothers pants were alittle snug. At first I thought was maybe they shrunk in the wash but then I remembered that they are dry clean over. So more than likely I have put on a couple inches. I realize that I had been eating whatever just because I was not willing to put up with the frustration of counting calories for awhile. It sucks trying to eat right, especially when my only source of comfort might be a couple bags of Candy. So that is the bad news. The good news is that dropping some pounds is easier when you are sober, and that I understand what goes into dropping inches. Less Calories/More working out, pain, frustration and overall WORK. I have to commend V-Foundation for getting up and running. I just think most people enjoy working out but there comes a time when it is work...a grind...a chore...not enjoyable...and of course that is where you get the most gains or most losses (weight wise) so today I did better with my diet and I did walk for 3 miles. I am just lucky I know how to pick myself up and try again. Also there is this saying "If you are worried about being saved you are already saved" I think that applies to being healthy, if you are worried about being healthy chances are you are doing what you can to be healthy. I do have a theory about self control. There are going to be times you flat out blow it with your diet...it happens, there are times you are going to have good will power... that happens. It is that 50/50 cookie or meal where you might have a smidge of will power but there is a voice like ahhh hell eat that corn dog, or skip that work out. That is when you really have to find away to get it done. So anyway I don't think I am going to beat myself up much, this blog is full of notes about me putting effort into eating correctly and working out, so the effort is there and I will keep moving forward with that effort and to self reflect and correct issues. Then the results are in Gods hands. In the end there are more things to life than just being good looking, there is also "what did I contribute to the world."

Brooks Brothers Cotton Trousers

I wore my Brooks Brothers Cotton Trousers today. Kinda weird to be wearing pantsthat retail for more than a previously played XBOX 360 from game stop. It is worth it though. Not only do the ladies love Brooks Brothers Cotton, but also the woman love Brooks Brothers Cotton Trousers. The day went pretty poopy other than my "Ferrari of pants" I felt kinda crappy most of the day, but if if there is anything high school football taught me it is...sick, injured, not feeling well, whatever it is, you don't miss a day, or someone might take your job. So I went through the day and tried my best, and that is all I can ask of myself today. I especially was alittle warn down from worrying about my cell phone. Now some people tell me "Ray don't worry" But then I start worrying that I may have a worrying problem. So in the end I know that is my natural though process is to freak out, worry, then accept whatever screw job "the man" is goig to put on me. I hope the Royals come out strong out of the break. Lorenzo Cain looked like a right handed kenny lofton in spring trainig, but lately he has looked like a right handed Steven Hawking. So hopefully he gets uninjured and is able to play with grace and style.

Thursday Morning

Good Morning! Yesterdays were the ESPYS I am sure everyone watched them. I woke up today feelig pretty good. I am wearing my Brooks Brothers Cotton Trousers. That is a good start. I am ready for the second half of the Royals season to see of Sal Perez ca keep up his awesome play. Go Royals.

Wednesday Special Open Cup Edition

Wednesday was long and full of crap that I didn't want to do. Luckily I got home in good shape to hook up my computer to my beautiful 40 inch TV so I could stream the OPEN CUP Game. The Open Cup tournament features semi-pro teams, pro teams, and MLS teams. It is a massive tournament and Sporting KC was in the final four. Sporting KC played very hard and their midfield defense was awesome. Every time the Union got ball midfield Espinoza or Zusi was all up in their ass like a misguided Bottle Rocket. Peterson has been filling in for Bobby Convey who has been out for a long time with a leg injury. After juggling the lineup Vermes finally got it right by having Teal Or Sapong up top as striker. Peterson RW and LW Kei Kamara. Peterson had an awesome header for a goal and then Zusi scored when the goalie for the Union was pressing up. So now Sporting KC gets a chance to paint the wall with another open cup win. So if you here someone say "Paint the wall" It doesn't mean graffii the southside Dairy Queen, it means they want to paint the wall Open Cup Champs 2012. After the game I went for a walk and listened to my normal walking music. The Killers, Modest Mouse, random indie music, then I remembered the Killers new song came out on Tuesday. Damn I am getting old if I let a new Killers release sneak past me. I guess their new album drops in the fall. I am still going through all my Death Cab for Cutie albums. I mean all of them, even the B sides and rarities and the song off the Twilight Album. They are truly Classic Alternative Indie Rock! Everything else is going ok. I spent sometime on the phone getting my new phone squared away. The new phone I got is 4G and it is large. I guess they don't make the HTC surround anymore so they sent me the HTC Titan II. It is very large. I feel like it is made for 80 year olds because the typing on it is large. I had to order a new sim card which was a pain in the ass, but you know I really tried not to get pissed because I can't control anything by my actions. If ATT is going to be a bunch of jac butts about how slow they spend me stuff, well it is up to me to handle it as I think God would want me to handle it. After this one I am debating weather to drop my data plan and go back to having a crap phone. I chew through Phones like 39 cent beef jerkey on sale at Casey's general store.

Wednesday ALL STAR GAME WRAPUP

The Royals game came and went. Billy saw two good pitches and hit one of them hard. Sporting KC has an open cup game on tonight. It is only on their youtube channel. Should be fun. I like to read things early in the morning and one of the things I have been thinking about is the attitude of "Keep moving forward" I often get stuck in my head about breaking a cell phone or yelling at a dog...you know like downer moments, I have to remember to keep moving forward and don't quit. I am doing pretty good though this morning. Somewhat tired, but overall healthy. I am glad feel good and that I have brooks brothers pants.

All-Star game and My Broken Phone.

Yesterday I was laying down in my Jeep eating lunch and when I got out I dropped my phone. It shattered the screen. Dang...I wasn't exactly too pissed because I have dropped that phone may times, it was just a matter of time that it really got messed up. Of course I don't have a case, but I have my doubts that a case would have done much good since I threw it down like Icky Woods spikes a football at the end of the icky shuffle. I started to be like, well I am used to using an old crappy phone mine as well use my NOKIA 1A or whatever I have in my APT. I then remembered that I do have insurance on it. I took the proper steps and my new phone is on it's way. I am in fear that somehow they will bill me the price of a full phone because I hadn't carried the insurance for a year, also I am worried about sending my old phone back...I am attached to it since it has all my music and photos on there. So I have been talking about it and see logically that no matter what happens I will be ok. I just am going through random emotions because a phone is tied to social, sexual, financial instincts. So now I will just be patient and see how it plays out. I had this new phone for 330 days and I think that is pretty good run all things considered. I will get a case for the new one for sure. All-Star game is here. I am not that interested in it. I hope Billy hits a homerun. Yesterdays Homerun hitting contest was awesome. Robinson Cano pissed down his leg and it was so stinky he had to febreeze his leg hair just to get out the pissy piss smell. I hate the Yankees. I will booo them at Kauffman ad Fords Drive in...it doesn't matter where they are at! Sporting KC plays a huge game tomorrow for the right to go to the OPEN CUP final. If they win the Open Cup final they play some clubs from around the world.

Yeesh

Monday. Not so fun. I am getting tougher though as the times get tougher. Tomorrow will be better. For right now I am watching homeruns!

Death Cab For Cutie

Sunday was good. I hung out and was tired all day, but I made it out to the crossroads. Death Cab for Cutie was playing and it was a bit of a mad house. They played all their crowd pleasing songs. They sounded great and the weather broke to give us some cool air. Some of my friends Brauny, Kunzi, and Kris is spouse were there. My sister and her boyfriend where there. Overall it was cool to witness such an awesome moment. Even the blimp was overhead. All-Star week has begun and it is going to be awesome.

Sunday

Sunday I woke up and just chilled and messed around on the internet. I then went for a walk. I was going to swim for a bit, but my apt complex swimming pool was locked. Of course why would it be open Sunday? The day of freakin rest. I then watched the Royals get swept and now just watching a blank screen of TV. I enjoyed some meat that I cooked yesterday and some butterscotch candy. I am going to see death cab for cutie tonight and I am Stoked.

Saturday Wrapup

After sweating all night Friday and Saturday of last week I decided to skip going to LiveStrong this week. I was able to play more video games, cook pizza, drink black dog coffee, and vacuum my Jeep because of this decision. I enjoyed the 0-0 tie, and I enjoy sporting kc being in first place. MCAdam, Jason, Kris, and J.P. came over to my apartment to watch the game. It was a bit crowded but my TV and my sweet surround soud really made us feel like we were at the game. The Air Conditioning felt great as well. I was worried I was going to regret the choice not to go to the game, but relaxing with friends and then going to black dog after the game helped me have a positive attitude with my choice not to go tonight. I will be back out to Livestrong plenty of times in the future. On a sidenote I took my grill over to Lenexa park today and grilled a bunch of food. It was peaceful no one was out there.

Oh Hosmer...

After me pressing Hosmer to come up last year, he has really cooled off. His defense looks good with your eyes but the stats actually say he is below average right now. Hopefully he gets it together. If nothing else Butler, Gordon, and Hosmer look like they can be above average players. Will Meyers looks like he could be a star along with Moose. Then Sal Perez looks like a once in a generation type of Hall of Fame type of player. Sigh need so much pitching though. I have to say though. Atleast there are some pieces to this team in 07-08-09 there wasn't much out there other than Dejesus, Butler, Grienke and Soria.

Friday SKC signing Royals vs. Tigers

Sporting Kansas City signs defender Neven Markovic. I have no idea how much this guy will play, but he will give some Left Back support. Royals are playing the Tigers right now, and the Royals look like crap against left handers so far.

Thursday July 6th.

Thursday is a good reminder why I usually just eat a candy bar for lunch. I ate an actual sandwich and I felt like crap the rest of the day. Way tired. It made me bad because we were busy and I was all like arrrrrrrrg like in those garfield comics. The Royals won yesterday and Sal Perez continues to impress. He has a career lifetime batting average of .343 or something equally awesome. On deck for this weekend is I don't know. Saturday people may be coming over for the Sporting Game, Friday I may go see Young the Giant, Sunday is Death Cab for Cutie. I really like all of death cab for cuties stuff. Something about Planes, Codes and Keys are currently my favorite albums, but I can listen to them all. My favorite sweater rock artists you ask? Matt and Kim, Ben Folds, Weezer, Death cab for Cutie, Silversun Pickups, Chappo, and The Mountain Goats. All of these bands can be heard at art coffee houses while people are gulping their 10 dollar lattes.

July 5th

This morning I woke up. I had a headache. I have been having these more often, it maybe because of the heat/AC combo when I go in and out. I don't think our body's like it too much a temp change that fast. I drank some water and thought about Sporting KC's win yesterday. Teal is still not fitting in and Sapong was a non-factor first half. Second half Teal goes out, Sapong to the middle. Peterson LW and the team flowed much better, linking passes and such. Good 3-1 victory. Onto the Royals....You have talent offense...preform! I have no doubt they will hit well one day, but they are inconsistent at best at scoring runs. Even when they do score runs they seem to lose the games. Well back to the grind for a couple days this week. I know that the dreams I have ca only be attained through hard work. 2-Pac once said "The only thing that comes to a dreamer is sleep" Raphael once said "The thing that comes to people that work is Nachos"

Sporting KC 3-1 win Royals losing at the moment

Sporting KC caught some breaks. Scored 2 penalty kicks and 1 goal in the run of play. They won and I will take it. I am awaiting the outcome of the Royals right now.

4th of July

I have some memories about 4th of July growing up. Lighting one bottle rocket at a time like a good boy, drinking on the Belt Highway at a random party like a non so good boy when I was older, overall it is my 3rd favorite Holiday. The only reason it isn't higher is because it sometimes doesn't come with a 3 day weekend. I woke up today after being up until 2 am yesterday trying to remember a song. I finally had to scroll through pages of 96.5 playlist to find out what the song is called. I was able to find out some new bands or bands I didn't know the name of. I am really digging some of Youg the Giants songs and M-83. My favorite song by M83 is Midnight City. Glad to see Silversun Pickups being high on the charts with their song Bloody Mary of late. Looking over what is hot right now. Like what the hell? Aerosmith shows up? Wierd. My dad likes the new Offspring. So I need to check that out as well. 1 Motion Sickness Hot Chip 2 Zones Wintersleep 3 I’m Gonna Wait The Temper Trap 4 Cabin by the Sea The Dirty Heads 5 Who David Byrne & St. Vincent 6 It’s Only Life The Shins 7 “45″ The Gaslight Anthem 8 Fox’s Dream of the Long Fume mewithoutYou 9 Up with the Birds Coldplay 10 Call Them Brothers Regina Spektor feat.

Tuesday Morning

I tossed and turned yesterday for a couple hours before going to sleep. I had a headache as the day was very long. I did remember that not only did Moose go deep yesterday so did Salvador Perez. He is a special player. He already has more home runs than the rest of the catchers and he has only played in ten games.

Moose Tacos

Grand Slam! Way to bounce back Royals! Wil Meyers has 26 homeruns, bring him up already!

Thank God it's Monday. Royals and SKC takes

Woke up today and was like. Umm what? Is this real life? I just started the weekend damnit! I did what I always do...look at the phone debating to call in sick or not. I didn't though. Made it through and even pushed myself a bit to work hard. I also paid some bills and went to the bank. So overall this Monday was pretty good. I hope the Royals win against Toronto. They need to bounce back hard against the Bluejays. Robinson Cano is a jerkface, Billy Butler should be in the Homerun Derby. I heard Hudler say that he wished Johnathon Sanchez would have been bulled over at the plate. As I am typing Moose Tacos just hit one a billion feet for a Grand Slam. Onto Sporting KC.... What to do with Teal? One touch Teal or TealBUMberry is what the fans chant when ole Teal isn't playing well, he controls the ball well and is very fast, but when he comes into the game it takes Sapong and puts him on the wing, thus throwing the team off. They need to just let have Sapong have the middle. Sapong reminds me of the middle dude on tabletop hockey. He should just go north and south. Teal can come in if Sapong gets tired or hell maybe even try Teal on a wing. It is really a shame they can't all mesh together, but you can see Sapong being wasted over there on the wing. So in short. Peterson/Convey Left wing. Sapong middle. Kamara RW and lets go. Teal can come in in desperation or if Sapong gets tired, or hell Sapong might just look like shit one day in the middle as well then you can put in Teal.

Sunday

Today was Sunday. I really didn't have anything planned. I started to throw away some canned goods, even a what can only be described as a "Vietnam Era" canned meat of some sort. I played some video games, went shopping, talked to people online. Then the Royals did their thing and lost. Bruce Chen was cruising then he remembered he is a #5 starter and started to give up long balls. Billy Butler had a chance to tie it up late, but I guess he didn't want to put in the effort to walk, so he just struck out so he could go back to the dugout and eat Pork Chops. I went for a short walk with the Radio on and the Royals playing and it was very hot out still.

PostRockPablo and I always go off-topic on Chiefsplanet.com about St. Joseph! Ok now that is out of the way. Lets first talk about Saturday. Saturday I woke up spent a nice 50 minutes of my life on I-35 and 70 trying to get over to worlds of fun. When I did get to WOF the lines were short and the temperatures were hot. I rode the patriot twice, prowler twice, and the Mamba. They were worth the trip over there. We all rode the Fury of the Nile. Let me tell you what. The Nile was way past furious and was straight up PISSED! I began to wear down because of the hot temps. I don't remember pissing much. I got in my jeep in ok shape and made my way back over to Lenexa. I felt like dog crap pretty much the rest of the day, but once I got some Diet Coke in me I and a shower I headed down to see Mountain Sprout, Lucero, and Rev Hortan Heat. Mountain Sprout was very good and obviously loved hillbillys and hated the government. They were also very dirty. That is why I always say Kenny Chesney is the Britney Spears of Country music...he is very pretty and his lyrics are clean. A far Cry from Mountain Sprouts classic Anti-Government anthiem "F-The Governent we want Cigerettes and Beer" Lucero was a bit country but the chicks loved them. Rev hortan heat is just straight up Greeser, Hillbilly, Psychobilly madness. Overall grade of the concert would be a B. Lucero reminded me of David Cook for some reason.
