Wish I Was Here

Picture of the Day 10-14-04 Wish I Was Here
This picture is of the sign guy at Busch. The wish I was here caption will be explain later in some ranting.
Well the Cardinals are in the playoffs, they beat the Dodgers in the NLDS and are now 1-0 on the Astros in the NLCS. I've watched all the games and am very excited. Tickets for the World Series will go on sale this Saturday. You can get them on the internet, on the phone, or camping out at Busch. I have already entered the online lottery and got some other people to enter it for me too. I also put together a plan to go to Busch and camp out Firday night. Here's the ranting and crying like a baby part so that's your warning. I had a few people who were really interested in going and had rides lined up and everything. But then all of sudden, it seemed like they all fell through. People had friends coming up to visit, family coming up to see the Michigan-Illini game, or birthdays to celebrate (just kidding Dave). I'm not mad that people couldn't go, it was just like I got my hopes up that this was gonna work and everything right was going to somehow happen and then it all fell apart. I'm probably not going to camp out now cause I don't have anyone to go with and rides are looking scarce. I have one more plan to get me down their but I just think it's another longshot waiting to fail. At least I still have the small chance of getting tickets online.
This is it for the ranting and whining protion of the blog

Why No Postin':
If you read this at all you may have noticed I haven't posted in like 3 weeks. I must have a good reason or it is just lazynes? A little bit of both. First off if you comment on my blog, which no one has ever done, I'll post at least a little something. No one will still probably comment, but meh. Also, a bunch of tests for some of the time, lots of poker, and general hanging out has consumed most of my time. I also thought of a possible bad luck curse, but I'll get into that some other time, maybe I'll do a superstitions post some time if I remember or someone reminds me.

In Class Out the Ass News:
I'm doing good in all of my classes and finding a way to go to as few as possible. Physics lab and discusion are getting me mad cause they're so late in the day and 2 hours but it could be worse, I guess.

In Gambler's Anonomous News:
Can't believe I haven't at least posted an update on this in forever. I had my first few losing sessions and got back to only $98 for the semester, but I got hot again and am doing well since. The new total is $149. Also, I have inspired a poker blog form this section, nothing much but I thought it was cool. Oh yeah and soon, my poker chips will become useless when Alan gets some nice chips for his birthday.

Now it's time to make up for missing three weeks.

Songs of the Past Few Weeks: "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Men - I just rediscovered this great song.
"Sheep Go to Heaven (Goats Go to Hell)" by Cake - everything you need to know about the song is in the title
"Bannana Phone" - hilarious in it's stupidity. I only know this song because a great flash cartoon
"Scotty Doesn't Know (Euromix)" - the regular song was a song of the day awhile ago but the remix is even funnier. Eurotrip, what a great movie.
