Tonight, had the Indians actually had their home opener at... you know... their home, they would've given away Rick Vaughn glasses from Major League.

Ironic then, that they were actually playing in Milwaukee as the home team. The very same city where they filmed Major League.

I think, as an homage to nickel beer night, the Cleveland Indians should have $10 sit anywhere night. That seemed to work well for the Milwaukee Indians. Why not sell cheap tickets in order to fill up the stadium every night? Instead of 35,000 fans, why not have 42,000? Isn't some revenue better than no revenue? You'll make tons of money on the extra concessions too. Make it so that any empty seat can be filled with a $10 ticket after the third inning or something. That way people aren't just waiting to get into the game for $10, but instead are still buying regular tickets so that they can see the whole thing.

Just a thought.

The weather here really sucks. Isn't it spring time? Wasn't it 70 degrees 2 weeks ago? Why is it below freezing and snowing for days at a time then?

What the crap?!?

Also, I hate school. I did get the application for graduation though and I registered for my last two classes. That is good. I'll be in school in the fall on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 PM - 9:15 PM... and then... done. Finished. Over. No more school.

I cannot wait. I'm practically salivating at the thought.

We took a tour of the reception hall as it was all decked out for a wedding today. It was cold, but it was still nice. We also got to check out the inside of the church. Lastly, we had dinner at the restaurant that is going to cater the rehearsal dinner.

On top of that, I got to miss out on the many inches of snow falling on Cleveland Ohio. Enough snow that they cancelled two Indians games. I would be lying if I said that I missed that snow. Here I awoke to people saying "It's snowing." I looked out the window and sure enough, somewhere out there was a flake of snow. Maybe two. Crazy I tell you!

Here's the upcoming schedule of events. It's quite busy.

This weekend (4/6/07), Lindsay and I will be in Maryland. My mom, step-dad, and brother are going up to Lindsay's parents house for Easter.

Next weekend (4/13/07), Lindsay and I will again be in Maryland. This time we're doing a taste test with the caterer and attending a wedding.

4/20/07 - We'll potentially be going down to Columbus to visit my aunt and uncle.

4/27/07 - Lindsay will be recovering from a minor (is there such a thing?) surgery

5/4/07 - I will be in Atlantic City for Justin's bachelor party. Lindsay will be in Maryland for a bridal shower.

5/11/07 - Lindsay is in a wedding and I will be attending said wedding. Thankfully, it's in Cleveland.

5/18/07 - Lindsay and I will be again in Maryland. Another bridal shower. I'll be hanging out with her dad.

5/25/07 - Dylan graduates this weekend, and it's our birthday, so Lindsay and I will be in South Carolina for the weekend.

6/1/07 - Lindsay is having her bachelorette party this weekend. I may have my bachelor party this weekend, but someone needs to step up and start planning it.

6/8/07 - Lindsay is done with school. That means it's fun with packing time!

6/15/07 - More fun with packing time! Fun with moving time begins too! And hopefully ends...

6/22/07 - I'm in Justin's wedding this week in New York and the day after we're attending a wedding in Delaware.

6/29/07 - Lindsay goes to Maryland for last minute wedding stuff. The countdown begins. The new renters move in to Lindsay's house.

7/3/07 - I head off to Maryland for the pre-wedding festivities.

7/8/08 - We head off to Jamaica and finally get to relax for a weekend without having to do something or go anywhere. Yay!

I play for the Indians.
Here in Cleveland? I didn't know they still had a team!
Yup, we've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!


It's baseball time again in Cleveland, so naturally that means it's time for another snowstorm. There's nothing quite like watching baseball in a blizzard.

The ball is a bit harder to follow, so you get to be entertained by people dropping like flies as they get hit in the heads with foul balls.

So far, I've got no complaints about the Indians. I think they could do some damage this year. The AL Central will certainly be difficult however. The reduced expectations could actually help them though. I think that the top 4 teams in the AL Central could all be within 6 games of each other at the end of the season. I doubt that any one team is really going to run away with anything. I'm also skeptical of the Tigers. I think that they're a one year wonder, and I have them finishing fourth. They'll still be good, just that their pitching will not be close to last year.

Here's my official predictions for the AL Central

1. Indians
2. White Sox
3. Twins
4. Tigers
5. Royals

Hooray for school again. Check out how great this is... I got an A on my last marketing paper, so according to the professor "I am privileged to be able to write another paper." The people who got less than an A just have to correct and re-submit their old paper. Those with A's have to write an entirely new paper though.

Yay! He is a good teacher! Hooray for learning! I feel blessed and privileged to be learning from such greatness.

Just in case you wanted to see my wounded pasty leg...

Let us examine, for a moment, the current and upcoming weather of northeast Ohio.



I do believe that the picture speaks for itself.

Last night the knee really acted up. I can't remember the last time something hurt that badly. Everything was going fine and then out of nowhere, it just started throbbing. I had let it dry out and went for a walk with Lindsay. During that time, it ached a little, but nothing very bad. When we got back I sat down for about 2 minutes and everything tightened up. It was like it was scabbing over in real time (a pretty picture, I know) and any movement at all was very painful.

Not good.

Right now it seems to be doing okay though. I can walk around, and while it's still throbbing a bit, it's nothing compared to what it was last night.

Maybe I'll post a disgusting picture of it.

I crashed my bike yesterday and in the process did a pretty good number on my knee. It looks pretty disgusting still. Hopefully it won't take too long to heal though. I'm able to walk on it without much discomfort. Going up and down stairs is a pain, but still possible.

It could've been much much worse. This is why you're supposed to wear knee and elbow pads and a helmet when you're bike riding. I had none of the above. I am an idiot.
