My last few weeks have been boring. I just re-read them. I guess my life runs like that sometimes.
In any case, I will now return to your regularly scheduled blogging.
Took care of filing my Sales Tax Return for Limewear. Thanks for reminding me. Amazing how any businesses make any money, given the amount of money it takes to run one.
I have about a week to decide if I'm going to renew my season tickets for the Rangers. Normally, this would be a slam-dunk...but there's a few things holding me back.
First, there might not be a season next year. This statement is enough to give me heart palpitations...but it's true. I can think of better places to put $3200 than to give it to a corporation who will be providing me nothing in return.
Second, I'm trying to pay off all my debt so I can move. While $3200 would get me only about 10% of the way there...it's 10% of the way there, ya know? It's a lot of money.
Last, I am planning on moving on November...not sure where yet...but someplace much cheaper than where I'm living now...which implies Brooklyn or someplace outside of Manhattan. I'm not certain I'll want to be going to 44 games at MSG if I have to take multiple trains to get there, and it takes 45 minutes, you know?
On the flip side, very little on this planet makes me happier than going to a Rangers game. All I need in my life is Hop Kee, Rangers games, online gaming, and my fookus, and by and large, my life is good. And not in that order, might I point out.
I bought a lottery ticket for tonight's Mega Millions drawing. It's $150 million dollars. Newsflash: If I win, I will be getting my season tickets.
Saturday, I think I'm going to a Yankees-Mets game at Yankee Stadium. There are worse ways to spend a Saturday than at Yankee Stadium. It's been a while since I've been to a baseball game...probably about 10 years. Maybe a little less. Not sure. I know I was at a World Series game...but unsurprisingly, I don't remember which one...and with the Yankees, there are a lot of possibilities.
May I also point out that all those bozos who were writing that the Yankees were in trouble when they dropped a series to the Red Sox in the beginning of the season are now looking like the biased, alarmist, ignorant morons that they really are. We all know that many people want the Yankees to fail...but let's be blunt here: They are the best team money can buy, and love them or hate them, they can play some ball. And Joe Torre may well be one of the best baseball coaches of all time.
Give yourselves a break...MLB made the rules, Steinbrenner follows them, and while the Yankees spend something like four to six times the average salaries of the average baseball team, they make it back, and then some. Get over it. The man runs a good business, and does it damned better than just about anyone else.
Now, it's time to change my laundry so that I have nice clean boot socks to wear tomorrow.
Thanks for weathering my lousy blogging over the past few weeks. We're back!
