Fool Me Once...Shame on, Shame on You. Fool Me...You Can't get Fooled Again.

Hello friends. Sorry for posting so late in the day, but I had to finish watching that marathon of a game between the Cubs and the Fightin' Phils. A 9 inning game that lasted the same amount of time as the 13 inning game last night. They could have played for 5 hours as far as I'm concerned, as long as the Cubs figure out a way to salvage a game from Philadelphia, I'm happy. No complaints from me after a 5-2 roadtrip, especially without Dempster, Soto, 50% of Ted Lilly, etc. In other happy news, Milwaukee has already lost today, so if Houston sweeps St. Louis tonight then the Cubs and Astros will be tied for 2nd place, just 1 game back. I love baseball.


Another quality win for my softball team last night. We disposed of ESPN Radio for the 2nd time this season in blowout fashion. 12-6 final. I went 2 for 4 with a double and 2 RBI's (not that I keep track of my stats), and we improved our record to (6-2), tied for 2nd place in the league. Softball is a great game because you feel like your being "active," but in reality, you're basically running about four times per game and doing a ton of standing around. Not unlike your typical baseball player. I know I got MY exercise in for the week :)

I found out something yesterday that really disappointed me, so obviously I'm going to vent about it to you. There's a girl that I'm friends with who called me about a month ago very upset. She told me that her longtime boyfriend of about three years (a guy who I met only once and thought was a complete douche...beside the point) turned out to be married with kids the entire time that they were dating. This guy had a separate apartment, somehow found time to be with her every day, and even had all of his friends in on the joke. Now, I'm not even going to get into how difficult this must have been to pull off, but I don't think that I'll have to do much convincing for you to believe me when I say that this guy is premium assclown. I'm sure that we've all made mistakes in our different relationships from time to time (I know I have), but if you're married and living a completely separate life from your wife and kids, then you measure pretty low on the scumbag pole. Naturally when I spoke with her on the phone that day she told me that she was dropping him like a name, so I wished her well and told her that at least she knows what this guy is really about and now she can move on with her life. Well guess what? You guessed it. She let this creep come crawling back to her. Can you believe it?! Why do people do this?

It's disgusting how self destructive people can be when it comes to their relationships. It may be stereotypical, but it really seems like women actually believe that they can CHANGE THEIR MAN. You can't. You either love who he IS, or you live with the fact that you married/date someone that you can't stand. I'm sure that we've all been cheated on at one point or another and I know that we're all familiar with that unmistakable feeling that comes along with it. Yet, a good portion of us willingly gave that person a 2nd chance...sometimes three or four chances. We don't seem to do this in any other walk of life. For example: If someone steals from you, you're probably not going to trust them to be around any of your things ever again. That's just the way it is. Or if you buy a Chevy and it breaks down on you over and over again, then you're probably going to go with a Ford next time you purchase an automobile. It's that whole "fool me once" cliche' that W. screwed up so badly. For whatever reason, this simple logic just doesn't seem to apply to relationships. Where's Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla when we need them?

I know it's easy for me to say, but don't go back to someone who dated you while he was married with kids. I mean, we shouldn't even be having this discussion! Even if he is going to get a divorce, who's to say that he won't pull the same type of thing on you while you're at home married with kids of your own? He's not going to change. YOU need to change. Stop being attracted to that kind of behavior, it's not healthy. Smoke, do drugs, stand in front of the microwave while you pop your popcorn...(all LESS destructive activities :), just don't fall for this again. You WILL get burned.

Hit me up on facebook or in the comments section of this blog. Right now I'm listening to "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. Genius song. Drinks of Choice: The Champagne of Beers.

Peace the F.
