sweet victory

i'm beginning to feel slightly spoiled... two world series titles? in four years? not to mention three (going on four) super bowl victories for the patriots in this century. it's a good time to be a new england sports fan

i stayed up until the final pitch last night; i didn't get to see their clinching victory in 2004, and i wasn't about to miss the chance to see them wrap it up this year. you never know, it might be another 86 years until their next one, and i'd hate to think i missed the chance to see them clinch the title

now perhaps life can return to normal... my evening activities won't be dictated by whether the red sox are playing or not, and i can start paying off some of the sleep debt i've accumulated. it's all worth it, though... isn't it? or is it? after all, it's just a game; is a game worth losing sleep for? is it worth wearing your lucky red socks for several games without washing them? should i start listening to a band other than the dropkick murphys? or, more importantly, have i been a good steward of my time?



ah, screw it. i'll leave the deep questions for sometime else. right now i'm euphoric, exhausted, and slightly hungry. perhaps a glass of egg nog and a nap are in order....



mmhmm, yes they are


in conclusion, a token manny ramirez quote from before game four: "You can't eat your cake before it's your birthday." um... yes. i concur.

it's been a busy month.
