Etc.
It was my birthday, yesterday and I was luckily (well lucky for you) able to keep from posting anything about it on the actual day (go me!). I usually end up a little melancholy and this year was no exception. None of my guy friends remembered my birthday, which was kind of a bummer. I've dropped the ball before as well, but not one of them remembered. Meh. I also got used for an emotional punching bag a couple of days ago, and the bruises haven't quite healed.
However, the Red Sox won, which was about as good of a present as I could have asked for. I ended up skipping and hopping all the way up Connecticut Ave. as my friend and I journeyed back from Pizzeria Uno. Yes, I am a silly, silly, little man.
I have plenty of material to write about for more ramblings, from concerts to opeds to life, the universe and everything. But I'm a little gun-shy at the moment. I need to step back and write about something not so close to home, in order to avoid spilling my guts into the ramblings area and leaving myself open to all sorts of misinterpretation. I want to say, "Fuck it! I'll write what I want!" but I'll need to ease back into it. The patience of you five, loyal readers is appreciated.
For now, I'll just encourage you to go and give to charity with whatever you can spare.
Lastly, if you wondered what I thought of the Rush Limbaugh controversy, I'll tell you this. My first thought when I heard about the situation was "when did Rush become relevant again?" My second thought was "didn't the black quarterback controversy end with Warren Moon, Doug Williams and Randall Cunningham?" My last thought was, "why did they have Rush on a football show to begin with?" I've thought a lot more about it, but so have a million other writers. I'll leave it to them to blabber about it.
