Red Sox Beat Yankees

I take full responsibility for this. On the year that I genuinely root for the New York Yankees, they get beaten by their most hated rival, the Boston Red Sox, in most spectacular fashion. Never have I rooted for a team that won a championship, and now I've brought the Yankees down with me. I'm sorry. It now looks like I've broken "the Curse". Of course it also didn't help the Yanks that they had horrible pitching towards the end. We knew this from the very beginning of the season when Clemens and Pettite left. I won't be surprised if the entire bullpen get replaced next week.

This weekend, the New York Jets face the New England Patriots, and it looks like another one of my teams will get crushed like a bug by a team from Massachusetts. God help Gang-Green.

Lucky for me, I decided not to watch the baseball game on TV because it's just too much for my senses. Instead I went to gaming night at the Gay Center and had fun! I also joined the guys for a late dinner, which became very productive because I had a great conversation with Dale regarding freelance computer consultancy, which I'm looking to get into seriously soon. He gave me advice on how to get started well, and I now feel like quitting my day job. (I won't -- just feel like it.) I hope it works out well for me. I am very excited about this.

Also this afternoon, I realized that I was a bit tense, because of the Yankees and the job situation. However, when this happens in the future, I should remind myself not to bring my ATM card along with me. For some reason I made some surprise purchases which included a billiard cue stick. If I had more money I think I would have bought a computer.
