DAILY DOSE: "Sometimes I Wish That It Would Rain Here."
FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIZZ!!!
Welcome one, welcome All, to the Daily Dose.
And welcome, I think, to Tomayto tomato-Schirayto Schirato, the Jere-bear himself! (I mean, I don't know anyone else who'd be visiting from Vanderbilt).
Okay, Okay, like I warned you, there was no FRLG today/yesterday. Sorry. It was a busy day that went to shit like it was going out of style. Things were good ALLLLLL the way up until I got home, then, the Cards decided to continue to suck at life, and go down (0-3). Luckily, the BoSox have taught me that ANYTHING is possible. But let's be honest. It's. All. Over.
Everyone-- prepare for the asteroid that's about to hit the planet. For when the Red Sox win the Series, the end is nye.
To make matters worse, after the game I finally got around to watching last week's episode of one of my favourite shows, Enterprise. I know, I know.. Star Trek geek, blah blah. Just blame it all on my dad. Anyway, so there's MY BOY, Trip Tucker, chief engineer of the ship, who's the closest thing Trek's come to a Han Solo. He's no Captain Kirk, but he's basically one of my favourite characters over the course of the franchise. So he's finally got something going with the super-hottie Vulcan, T'Pol, despite a 3-year love/hate relationship. He takes a trip with her back to her homeworld (note to non-geeks, T'Pol is played by the POSITIVELY GORGEOUS Jolene Blaylock, who's SO hot, that Kup will even watch this show, just to see her.) .
Well, long story short, T'Pol (the hottie) is bethrothed to your run-of-the-mill "i'm the douchebag fiancee our parents arranged for you to marry," and in order for her to regain honour for her family (specifically, her mother), she agrees to marry him, even though she doesn't love him, and obviously has feelings for Trip (Even though she's never really told him about them).
So yeah, right before the wedding, T'Pol's mom calls Trip on his feelings for her, and tells him to come clean and tell her, so she knows before she does anything. And what does Trip do?
CHICKEN OUT. Well, not even that. He's all "she's under enough pressure. what if she doesn't marry him for me? And what if she DOES marry him, despite the fact that I love her??"
So the episode ends with T'Pol marrying the douche, and Trip JUST STANDING THERE. Basically, the equivalent of Han Solo telling Chewbacca to test the Carbonite pit, because he'd rather join the Empire.
Okay... slow down, I know, you're all thinking... "WHAT A GEEK!" Well, duh. If you didn't know that coming in, tough shit. Moving on, let's just talk about how my faith in the universe is being shattered right now. Not only are the Red Sox ROLLING OVER THE CARDINALS, but the whole "end of the curse thing" is harrowing enough, let alone now that Trip is a flat-out puss, I'm afraid to watch my Star Wars DVDs, because I'm pretty sure Harrison's been edited out of the end of the first Death Star battle, Luke misses the target, and Yavin is obliterated. Thus, Empire and Jedi are reduced to the equivilent of a P.Diddy Video, as Grand Moff Tarkin and Vader sip Crys and Mack Hoes like it's goin' out of style. Though that might actually be cool.... you get the picture.
I mean, I PUSS OUT IN REAL LIFE ALL THE TIME--- I DON'T NEED MY HEROES TO DO IT, TOO!!!
wow. this week is really straining... I gotta go.
Oh yeah- song of the day: Yellowcard (I know, I know, Jeanie, MORE YELLOWCARD???) with "Back Home." I like it. And sometimes, I just wish that it would rain here.
And YOUR Link of the Day is ummm... i dunno. oh! here! this is great! I wish Pirates fans would get together with initives like this. Which is why I'm going to start "KeepChuckNunez.com" WHO'S WITH ME!?!?

yes. I'm delerious.
yes. I have TONS of work to do tomorrow.
yes. I'm not even CLOSE to getting to Boston.
yes, my faith in the universe is slowly deteriorating. What's it going to take for me to fix it? Any ideas? Do I have to suddenly step up? Do I have to be a hero?
scary. scary.
talk to yinz later. Rules soon, Promise.

WARNING: ravings of a gleeful Cubs fan below.
I don't know what you're talking about- this is a great time for underdogs and those who love them everywhere. The Bo Sox are FINALLY pulling it off. The way the universe is right now, Kerry will win the election, and next year the TIGERS might win the AL pennant!!! (and while we're dreaming, the Lions might win on Thanksgiving). Whatever is in the air, in the water, in the chewing tobacco, I hope it stays. I'm LOVING the Death of the Cardinals!

KLE: you're THIS close to getting banned from the Kingdom forever.
What kind of person goes to another man's blog, and revels in the demise of their second-favourite baseball team. I also find it sad and jaded of you to think of a team with a $125 million payroll as "an Underdog."
"Why not us?" Curt Schilling? I dunno why. But I can think of about, oh.. I dunno.. 125 MILLION FUCKING REASONS WHY IT SHOUDL BE YOU!
This is why the 'Red Sox Nation' pisses me off so much. Good riddance, Red Sox fans can go be like New York Rangers fans now. You won your God-Dammed Championship. Now leave me the hell alone.
As for you, KLE. It's called "manners" ... learn some.
