I'm so so excited!! Last night the Phillies won the world series, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3! It was such an amazing game, the Phillies played amazingly. The whole city went crazy, as did the team. lol There's going to be a huge parade tomorrow in celebration.
...lights, signs, taking things down, lighting off fireworks...I did want one of those World Series flags that was up on all the lights up and down Broad St. I loved it. I should search for some Phillies pictures, maybe make icons that way. Only one I didn't really see play much was Hamels since my brother and I were walking around that night looking for somewhere to watch the game. He played...
The parade is tomorrow, it was so much fun last night, and so crazy but we all have class tomorrow so I'm not sure what I should do. Do we need tickets to get into either stadium tomorrow? Apparently they're...team are, who I like, stuff like that. I do still need to find icons. And I'd like to get into the stadium tomorrow or do people just hang out outside the stadium too? They may be selling stuff too..
So the parade for the Phils is tomorrow at noon. I'd love to be able to go, but I have to work. :-( Nothing but problems at Workplace, but I have to keep reminding myself to be grateful for being...in search of the papers. She managed to get the Daily News . I ended up getting out of the office at 1 for lunch and by the time I walked to Wawa, all the papers were gone. What a shock!
I had watched the Phillies win the World Series on TV when I was 10 years old -- in fact, one of the games fell on my birthday. My parents had let me stay up late and watch the game. When Tug McGraw struck out the final batter to win Game 6 and the World Series, I was going out of my mind with glee, jumping up and down and just going as bananas as a 10-year-old can. Last night -- actually being at...
The last time the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series, it was 1980. (I wasn't alive yet.) This year is 2008. Was it fate that '80 backwards is '08? I think it was. After five tremendous games by my favorite team, it's official. PHILLIES WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!! As my mom pointed out, I'm almost the exact age she was when the Phils won in '80. Congrats to the GOD known as Brad...
...sports (sorry, King). But I went to college in Philly and my fondness for the City of Brotherly Love is real and it's deep. So I'm feeling a little springy and proud, soft pretzel style, about the Phillies World Series win. I mean, jeez, the city had it coming. They haven't had a major sporting league victory in ... well, possibly your lifetime. And someone near and dear to someone near and dear...
I can't shake the sadness today, even though I want to be happy and I have many things to be happy about and grateful for. I don't understand it. I keep doing things that I know are good for me, to try...episode and need to be medicated? That's pretty lame, isn't it? I mean, that's pretty pathetic. I feel like I could cry all the time. All the time. It's fucking weird! Eh, it'll get better
