Hey? Do you remember when I could go through a whole day without having to take a nap in the middle of it? Yeah, me too....

Speaking of, I've been pretty good with not mocking the hell out of Corzine. I'm glad to see that most of the newscasters have been doing my job instead. I might actually watch Letterman tonight if I remember to see what he says. I know I got a billion jokes. But, seriously, my hate aside, I'm pretty pleased that apparently those write-in votes actually do work sometimes, LMMFAO, because look! My vote-in vote from the last election is now the substitute governer again. Cody should've just ran for office, lol. Oh, and that crash did look horrible and it's one of the many reasons why I hate NJ highways, but ehhh. At least *I* already always wore my seatbelt, even before Dan died.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Mariano Rivera is the only player in the major leagues with the No. 42.

That number was retired in 1997 in honor of Jackie Robinson, but players who already had the number were allowed to keep wearing it. Rivera is the only one left. This Sunday, he will have plenty of company as Major League Baseball is allowing any player, coach or manager who wishes to wear 42 to do so. The Yankees announced yesterday that manager Joe Torre, Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano will honor Robinson by wearing his number.

Jeter called it "an easy decision" to don Robinson's number, and also said: "If there's one player I could play with or talk to, it'd be Jackie Robinson."

Rivera said he thinks this is a great idea. He actually wishes MLB would go farther and have everyone wear 42 for one day.

"I wear it with honor," Rivera said. "I wear it with pride."

Cano is particularly tickled to wear 42. He is named for Robinson, his father Jose's favorite player.

"We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him," said Cano, gesturing around the clubhouse.


Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] luckystar37, I am now in love with this band. Soon, once I have time (I'm shooting for Sunday afternoon), so will all of you.

And even though I don't like talking about the sport during the playoffs (and on Friday the 13th at that!) a verrrry happy birthday to my sexy cheese eatin' hair dyin' almost died three years ago Czech, Patrik Elias.
Dan from high school died today. I want to call him a friend, but I don't know if he would've liked that. I do know that I liked him as a person. He's lifestyle was something I normally wouldn't want people I like to get involved with, but he was still a pretty decent guy. He was in middle school with me, and unlike most of the white, kinda rich, guy population--I can't recall him every making fun of me. And I'm pretty sure he was friends with Anthony at one time... It's kinda sad that one of the last memories I have of him is him puking on the front lawn at one of the last shows in Nutley. I don't know if Karen found out about it yet. She loved him as a friend too. They went to the Prom together and looked so adorably misfitted together. And Ulkie 'lica liked him. She called him windmill boy or something because at the shows, when he would take some things to 'really' get into the music, he would do windmill's in the pit. I was thinking about him today, after Andrea told me and I was kinda crying as I walked to my car to put my shit away... Fuck, it's just really fucking terrible. I can remember him sitting next to me in gym class (during one of the years when it was a really bad class for me) and Leander walked in and slapped him five and gave me a hug, and then Dan was like; "I love that guy!" and Lee, in his high-pitched Snoopy voice on crack said; "I love you too, Dan!"

Needless to say, RIP Dan.
