YEAH!  It's Friday and I am going camping all this weekend with about 40 other people.  I need to buy a digital camera so I can take some pics and post them.  Just a little more about me:  I am a film and music nut.  I love both of them.  I use to DJ and I may just get back into it.  What I want to do is either run my own radiostation in a city or an internet radiostation.  I don't think station managers do enough to promote new and unusual music.  What I mean about unusual is the music other than the stuff that is played repeatedly on the top 40's stations.  Your hiphop stations will only play whats popular and anything similar to that.  Your rock stations is just as guilty.  Since I don't listen to country music (because it all seems the same to me), I can't judge those stations.  I use to listen to country music and it's not baaad.  It's just not my thing really. 

  My two favorite sports to play are Volleyball and Baseball, with a heavy emphasis on volleyball.  I played all over Europe and nothing is quite like hitting the sweet spot on the volleyball on a perfect set and sending the ball rocketing back to earth with authority.  But I also like to play smart and with a chip on my shoulder.  I like to trash talk sometimes to get someone out of their game.  I don't do it in a mean way, I do it with upmost respect because you always have to have respect for your opponent no mater whats their skill set.  I think sports should be fun for both parties involved.  Baseball is my other passion.  I love the history of it, the pro level (yeah cubbies) and playing it.  I also love watching baseball movies (my two favs are The Natural and Bull Durham).  There is a lot of truth, purism and peace in baseball.  I like standing out in the field, waiting on the ball or playing the infield and anticipating where the batter is going to hit it.  Plus when you are up to bat, I like to survey where the gaps are at and see if I can place it to any place on the field I want to place it.  And of course, there is the homerun.   Once, I hit four in one game, to include a grandslam.  I was 6 for 6 in that game, 2 doubles, 4 homeruns.  I was playing centerfield also, so I knew I was going to be busy and that I had a lot of running to do.  Funny thing about that game is that I wasn't talking much, I wasn't over assertive.  I was in the zone and just focused some how.  Probably because I was coming off of an injury and this was my first game back.  One of the homerun balls went over the scoreboard in centerfield.  The cool thing about baseball and playing the sport is that no other problems exist.  You are just enjoying the company of others, encouraging your team mates and having a good time.  And it's the same game as they played (except for a couple of rule changes) back in the late 1800's early 1900's.  And you are probably experiencing the same buzz as they experienced back them.  Plus it's a sport for the whole family (well softball) that you don't have to know a whole lot about or a big skill set to learn.  You hit the ball and run around the bases.  You catch the ball when it's hit to you.  You throw the ball to your teammate when the ball comes rolling your way.  Simple.  Plus you adjust the rules depending on how serious of a game you are having.  You don't have enough, then the other team is responsible for providing a catcher for you when you are in the field.  Still short, you use the invisible man to signify base runners.  Not so good at batting,  you let someone keep up at the plate until they make contact.  And you cheer the loudest for the less than skillful players. Well thats all for today, maybe some more ramblings later on.
