Year: 2007

Hey

I don’t want to wait, by Paula Cole – that song brings back a lot of memories. Of— Dawsons Creek. I never really watched that show until my first girlfriend convinced me to do so.

I would sit on the phone each night with her watching the show. At first I wasn’t too impressed, but after a while I got to know the characters and liked it. In fact.. after we broke up some while later, I continued watching it– off and on until the show ended. I did make a point to watch the last episode.

Pacey, Joey, Dawson – three main characters. Pacey and Dawson were always in a competition for Joey. I always always wanted Pacey and Joey to end up. The final episode, Joey left Dawson— and went to her one.. True love. Pacey. It was a great ending to the show. I loved it so much I recall getting goosebumps, or some call them goosepimples? haha. It ended the way I wanted it to, in my mind.

In the Notebook, the main character leaves a perfect life, for a deep passionate love.

In City of Angels Seth gives up eternity with God for a chance to live with Maggie.

I want the same type of drama to happen in my life. I want the “love of my life” to realize something, and come running to me so we can live our lives, Happily ever after. Don’t try to tell me those stories weren’t with a happy ending, I know they weren’t. In City of Angels, Maggie dies. But you see, he would do it all over again just for 15 seconds with her.

Love.

It is said, a rose cant live without the rain so a heart can’t love without the risk of pain.

But go to another movie I like- “You’ve got Mail” fantastic movie, and it has a happy ending.

So, what does this tell us? Well, nothing really except that I’m a sucker for love stories.

They had a story on Yahoo, about if you are too picky for picking that person. You know, someone you want to spend your life with. I agree that some people are way too picky, only looking for the fairly tale ending. My biggest downfall in being with people– that I tend to settle. Not that it is a bad thing, it only really becomes a bad thing after you start thinking you could do better.

Which typically happens with me.. at least with the last two girls I dated. That is why, for the past 2 going on 3 years I haven’t dated anyone. I know for a fact I could have dated a few girls.. but I’ve held off. I don’t regret it, but in some cases this has caused the friendship to sour, for others it was something that didn’t change things.

It really is hard to find someone who will be there for you, as much as you will be there for them. To find that connection… the one that causes a spark. I’ve found a lot of sparks.. haha well.. I’ve been changing my interaction patterns. Ever since college I’ve been told that I’m a flirt. So, I’ve been working on that. I think I’ve been that way because in Highschool I was one among thousands. At Cascade I was wanted. I liked that feeling…

Why is it a priority in my life to have someone that I can spend my life with? Or better yet, have a girl in my life who I can love for who she is- and she can look past my brokenness and love me for me. It isn’t such a bad thing right?

It is hard to find that– but add to the mix that she needs to be Christian and the chances are less.

I’m tired of not finding anyone, of looking and finding games, of looking and finding people who will lead you on.

Hmm, I wanted to vent all of this for the pure and simple fact that I haven’t blogged anything real in a while.

“The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.” – Neale Donald Walsch

Other than that.. I’ve gotten nothing for prospects of jobs. I’ll blog more about that- next time.

Hey

Tonight the Blazers kickoff in the first preseason game. Against the Clippers at 7pm, so where one season ended, another begins. I wouldn’t have minded the overlap though.

I haven’t written anything in a while so I thought Id hop on here.

The featured question is: Do you ever get writer’s block? If you do, how do you deal with it?

I… only seem to get writers block when I haven’t slept enough or can’t clear my head. If I get that way.. I try to clear my head. However, I always get bloggers block.

And, when I do.. I end my post.

Just like this.

ALDS Game Four

Yankees: 4

Indians: 6

The series ended today… it made my day- in the not so good way. The game went a little like our last inning. We had calls go against us the whole way. On replay they would show how we had made certain calls correctly, or made certain plays but the umpires didn’t want to hear it.

Bottom of the 9th, Jorge Posada gets up to bat, two out.

Quickly to a strike one.

Then, swinging at the next pitch – the ball goes up in the air.. far. Everyone’s hope is soaring on this ball… The fans start to roar…

Foul.

And with that.. the last breath of hope was taken from our lungs for this season.

ALDS Game Three

Yankees:  8

Indians:  4

Facing elimination we (the Yankees) took the field.  Just when it looked like this game was going to turn out like the rest, the Yankees kicked it up a notch.  Johnny Damon, in the bottom of the 5th hit a three run home run.  To top it off – Roger Clemens wasn’t pitching well.  Rookie Phil Hughes came in and pitched some 3 and 1/2 innings with no score from the Indians during that time.  This was the turn around we needed.  The players seemed more relaxed and confident.

Yes, you don’t have to tell me – I know it’s just one game.  Next game is tomorrow- and the stakes are just as high.

This game made me breathe a sigh of relief.  At least.. for the rest of the day.

The drama continues… Monday at 7:30PM Eastern time on TBS.

Happy Birthday Ruth Putnam

ALDS Game Two

Yankees: 1

Indians: 2

Only one team in the majors to over come a 0-2 start. That team? The 2001 Yankees against Oakland. There is some reason to worry. We need to win all the remaining games. We now go back to Yankee stadium for two games. Hopefully we will win both and return to Cleveland to try to finish them off.

We should have won this game. But.. yeah whatever I won’t complain. Look at this video.

It was so frustrating. I went to a concert last night to top it off and missed the ending of the game. I guess that much was for the better– I probably would of had a heart attack watching that stuff unfold. At the concert someone from the Fish (the local radio station) introduced Casting Crowns, but not before it was announced he was a Yankees fan. Needless to say, my one cheer- to the thousands of boo’s was drown out.

I had the chance to see Leeland and Casting Crowns thanks to Micah. It was a good concert– unlike any other I’ve been to.

Next Yankees game is Sunday, Ruth’s birthday. Hopefully that will bring us some luck.
