I know there are tons of people that have caught foul balls at Fenway Park. It is always a dream of mine to catch of foul ball. The video below shows what happened this past weekend at Fenway Park. I am sure it will happen to me some day, but it is reallly heartbreaking!

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...
Hottie Danica Patrick got her first IRL win on Sunday. This is historic because she is the first woman to win an IRL race. It was her 50th try and that is better than most men who don't even make it to the qualifying. She is definitely a cutie and I thought a picture in her racing gear would be a good way to honor her today.

* some people love their cats way too much.
* this is one of the best days New England has seen in a while.
* you are worried about driving with gas costs getting close to $4.00 a gallon.

* if Manny stays this hot all year he will hit 50 home runs.
* you can't beat this quote: "We got drunk together. Things happen when you drink."

We're taking bets that 1000 of anything is a lot...
This is my 1,000th post over the last 3+ years. While I do not do many multiple posts and sometimes have to let the blog go on the back burner I feel I have entertained with my posts. Today I am going to rant about a few different subjects with some seriousness and a lot of humor.
* The Pope is in the United States and we seem to be excited. It seems to me that the Pope is the only person who can truly garner this much awe. Now I know that awe and reverence should be reserved for a high holy person, but I haven't figured out why other religions don't have one person at the top of their organization. The Buddhists have the Dalai Lama, but he doesn't require the shutting down of 1/2 of the Bronx and can be photoed without problems. The Muslims have a place, but not a person. The Jews don't have a Super Rabbi and all other Christians only have Joel Osteen. At least in the olden days there was the worshipping of Greek and Roman Gods. They even had a mountain. I wonder if someday there will be someone that will garner that type of awe in America.
* Can anyone explain to me why the Red Sox and Yankees cannot play a game under 3 1/2 hours? Yes they scored a lot of runs last night, but 4 hours and 8 minutes is ridiculous. They should move the starting times to 6 pm so little kids can stay up to watch the whole thing. I feel like they should only get 4 warm-up pitches between innings and the commercials can only be 30 seconds long. The shortest game this season was just over 2 hours. There is no way the Red Sox and Yankees can do it. I think each of their games should count for two in the standings and they only play each other half the time. It has become ridiculous. Though it does make me wonder how long the game would be on the LOST island. I am thinking 48 minutes of playing time with a 42 minute rain delay.
* There is a lot of difference between the truth and what you believe to be true. I have been pondering this a lot lately. Sometimes conversations happen and although you believe that honesty has occurred you are not sure you believe that to be true. It is a shame that there is almost no such thing as the absolute truth anymore.
* It might be offensive, but I cannot stop bopping my head to Sexy Can I by Ray J. Yes the very Ray J that filmed himself having sex with Kim Kardashian. The beat is fantastic and makes even someone who is dancing challenged like me want to dance. Check it out.

We're taking bets that Cutie of the Week...
Hermione Granger has finally turned 18. I know she has not officially reached hot status, but she definitely is a cutie. If she decides to stay in movies after Harry Potter she will become a mega-superstar. She has the right amount of badass to her and she actually can act. As always she has a great smile and a killer accent. Happy Birthday Emma Watson. I look forward to your hotness in the years to come.

We're taking bets that his old man couldn't do this...
Patrick Ewing Jr. made quite a name for himself on Saturday night with this incredible dunk. He may be living in his dad's shadow, but I think he will have a pretty good NBA career. Maybe this dunk is a sign of great things to come. I don't think I could do this on a 7 foot hoop.
We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...
Hottie Scottie Thompson is in the new Counting Crows video. (linked below) She broke my heart as Jeanne Benoit on NCIS and was a lesbian on Eli Stone recently. She is supposed to be making an appearence on a new NCIS and I hope that is true. She has the most captivating green eyes I have ever seen.

We're taking bets that you should be thinking about diversity today...
Forty years ago today Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated by James Earl Ray. His legacy will be inspiring millions with his dream that children be judged not "by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." We have moved forward in positive ways since his death, but we have not yet reached his goal. No one has picked up his torch and truly made a big difference in the United States since.
It is not like people have not tried, but Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton for all the good they have done were not truly effective. Today discrimination is met with outrage but it still happens every single day. We have not reached a point where our society's outrage has been met with change. I hope that each and everyone of you that reads my blog will take some time to read the article below and find more about the great civil right leader Martin Luther King Jr. His messages are still meaningful today and if we can look to his words to lead us a more positive United States.
The other side of the mountaintop

We're taking bets that I always get the wobbly cart...
Why is it that every time I get a shopping cart it has a wobble to it? Can't someone build a better shopping cart that will not do that? I googled shopping carts and the number one retailer of carts was Premier Carts. They even sell used carts. Can't they find a way to stop the wobble?
