This has been floating around recently, I guess. It was recently uploaded on the fourth of this month. It's a video of the 1986 Dodgers doing the Baseball Boogie . This is the description off the poster's youtube page : " Funniest video ever!! 1986 Dodgers a.k.a. The Baseball Boogie Bunch perform hilarious Super Bowl Shuffle like song and dance about their season. Starring Current Dodger coaches Rick Honeycutt, Ken Howell, and Mariano Duncan. Also starring others like Orel Hershiser and Mike Scoscia!! This is Hilarious!!". Seeing as I was only two years old around that time, the only Dodger I recognized was Orel. He's an easy guy to recognize. I think I may have recognized Duncan, but I'm not too sure. As someone suggested, when watching this video ... two rules. 1) Turn your sound up. 2) Don't show this to any Giants' fan. And I agree with the guy who posted this. It's HILARIOUS. The other thing you may have missed? Today was the first exhibition ...

Like nobody's business! http://baseballislife.mlblogs.com/photos/baseball_people_i_have_me/index.html I counted 158 photos. Not 158 people, because he has multiple photos with different players. There's two or three of Andre Ethier and Russell Martin, Matt Kemp, and other guys. He also has a Dodger's baseball blog. http://baseballislife.mlblogs.com/my_weblog_about_the_los_a/

When I got home, my mom handed me something that arrived in the mail. She asked me something about why I bought so many tickets. I didn't understand at first till I got to my room. I looked at the address and it read 1000 Elysian Park Avenue. That should've been my clue right then. I opened the already opened envelope and rubber-banded together were 24 TICKETS! Here are the dates and games that I have tickets to! Day Date Opponent Monday April 14 Pittsburgh Pirates Monday May 5 New York Mets Monday May 19 Cincinnati Reds Friday May 23 St. Louis Cardinals Monday June 2 Colorado Rockies Sunday June 8 Chicago Cubs Monday July 7 Atlanta Braves Friday July 11 Florida Marlins Saturday July 26 Washington Nationals Monday August 11 Philadelphia Phillies Monday September 1 San Diego Padres Friday September 5 Arizona Diamondbacks The circled part is where my seats are. Row B. Seats five and six. That's where I'll be for twelve games! Let's Go! Batter-u...

That was the first thing I heard about when I went to work today. No comment about my improvement on getting to work earlier. Just that my manager received TWO complaints. About me. That was the bombshell. I've been at my current job for over two years and this is the first time that I've actually had a complaint written against me. Sure, I've had a customer make some ridiculous criticism or complaint here or there, but I was always able to take it in stride. This one took longer. I'm not sure why I got so upset over it. Maybe it was the way my boss said it to me. Or it was my first actual complaint. So what was the complaint about? This customer came in to do a return and exchange. I did the return and exchange, however this one was a little more complicated than your usual return. Not only was it bought in another state, it was bought with a discount that was already expired. When I tried to make a joke, the customer took it the wrong way. Apparently, she tried to let...

I got a call yesterday for a second interview with Binder & Binder. They wanted me to come in today but I was going out of town. They said they would call me back on Tuesday to set up a second interview. Is it time for a change? Is it time for me to leave my current position? If I accepted the job at B&B, then I would have to quit my current job. It's a full-time position, Monday through Friday, 8:45 - 5:45. NOW one of the problems is location. The building is located off the 10 and 405 freeways. Now if anyone knows the 110, the 10, or the 405 freeways... you know that they're parking lots during the times I would be going to work and coming home from work. So, is the commute worth the full-time position? The bright side, it offers stability and weekends off. I can't tell you the last time I had a weekend off without requesting it. Or stability. When I first started working there, I did have some stability because I did work like either 9 to 5:30, or 10-6:30 from Mo...

Someone went to my friend and told her, "before my brother married so-and-so, he had a crush on you." Considering my friend is much younger than the guy mentioned, she thinks that he might have mistaken her for me. This is possible because we are just a year apart. And there were times that I did wonder. Now I just wonder if it was true. Did I miss a chance? Did I ever have a chance? Maybe I'm just wondering over nothing.

I hope did the stats right.

I just saw one blogger's posting of photos from the signing at Yankee Doodles and guess what... NO PICTURES OF RUSSELL!?! Now how can that be? Well, I decided to post my own pictures then. I'm working on that blog about it. But for now ... pictures will have to do. Russell stretching I wonder what he's laughing about. Beautiful laugh Matt Kemp showed up instead of Brad Penny Jeff Kent checking on the time I missed getting an autograph from STEVE GARVEY again! That's a Russell Martin bobblehead btw She gave him a besito (little kiss) which I missed And now ... the signing of my scrap book
