51 years ago today
Todays my birthday.
I took a long weekend from work, got a new tattoo and went to see a movie. You know a movie in a movie theatre. It was a big dark room with lots of seats and a big huge screen. I haven’t been in a movie theatre in about 15 years. A bunch of us whos birthdays are around this time all went to see District 9. It was pretty cool. Lots of blood and guts and shit blowing up, bad guys and good guys and more shit blowing up. Good flick!
On Friday after I got my new tattoo I went down to the Middletown resovoir and did some fishing. It was more like drowning some worms but it was a well needed respite.
Today I decided to be a lazy guy and lay around while watching the Phillies play the Mets. The game ended with an unassited triple play!!! It was bottom of the ninth and the Phils were up 9 to 7, runners at first and second. Eric Bruntlett caught a liner easily, stepped on second to double up Luis Castillo and then turned and tagged Daniel Murphy for the third out. This is only the fifteenth time in the entire history of baseball this play has ever happened. It happened so fast that it took it a few seconds to sink in and I jumped up and yelled, ‘Holy shit an unassisted triple play!’
Tomorrow I’m gonna’ sleep late, run a few errands and generally not be at work. That’s what I call a good long weekend.
Happy Birthday, B. That’s an awesome Tatt!!!
Go Phillies! 🙂
51 huh? It’s all downhill from here, Lad. Enjoy that tattoo – in a few years you won’t remember where you got it, or why. 😉
