Say Hello to My Leetle Friend

Lots to report about. But I'm really beat (and beat up) so this'll be a quickie (just like Sloppy Joey).

We played San Diego on Saturday. We lost 21-7 (I think that was the score). There was a scary moment when little Shawn was knocked unconscious. He was taken away by the paramedics but he was checked out at the hospital and everything's okay.

I felt like we could have won that game. I'm annoyed that we lost but we did play pretty hard. The pitch was terribly rough. It was like playing on gravel covered by some straw. My right knee today is twice the size as my left one. It's throbbing. I'm going to ice it some more before bed and ice it all day tomorrow. If it's not better I'll get it checked out.

I did manage to score my first try ever! It was very exciting. I didn't realize it but it was our first try ever as a team. So that is just a huge honor. I don't remember too well how it happened. Rickie through a great pass to me and I think I may have run past a guy or two and then it was all open field. I kind of fell down at the try line and got choked up for a second. Then I saw my team rushing towards me. I can't even explain what that feeling is like. It was truly special.

At the drinkup, Scottish Dave got forward of the match and I was honored with back of the match. I like that concept (a forward and back honored) better than just man of the match. Once again, the other men of the match drank their beers before me and I had to pour the rest of mine over my head. Coach Phill said he's just going to get me a shower cap if I'm ever "back of the match again," because I can't drink fast.

However, I made up for it by drinking all day and night -- from 3:30pm til Charlie's closed at 2am, to be precise. Yes, I got ugly drunk again. It's that damned cup they put around my neck. When I say ugly drunk, I don't mean I get violent or grumpy. I'm usually all smiles (and kisses), but I don't walk too well. In fact, I stumbled across the entire back patio of Charlie's and managed to fall on some guy. Everyone laughed because I tried to play it off -- like I meant to do that.

I've learned some valuable lessons that I'll share later on this week.

HAPPY TUNESDAY MOTHERFUCKERS!

I'm going to do Christmas tunes this month. This song is really funny if you're from Baltimore. It's mildly funny if you're not. The song is called Essex Wonderland. Essex is a part of Baltimore known for it's blue collar workers, 80s hairstyles and an accent that rivals Jersey. In fact, Essex is quite similar to Jersey.

My favorite lines are:
Joey's home from the service
And his girlfriend is getting nervous
While he was sea
She contracted VD
They're walking in an Essex wonderland

That shit's priceless. :-P
