Memorial Day weekend and 4th of July weekend. Any ideas?

Okay I just wanted to make a quick observation. The Red Sox World Series ring ceremony was held today at Fenway Park. (YEAH BABY) As far as I know, all the players from last year's team were invited to participate. A notable absentee was one Pedro Martinez. Since he signed with the Mets last year, this man has not stopped bad-mouthing the Sox with nothing to back it up. Lately though, he's gotten ridiculous going out of his way to say stupid things like: ?If they want to keep the ring, that?s fine...? Bottom line: the guy is a punk. I hate to say it, but Yankees fans were right about him.

Let's contrast that with another man who you could say actually had a legitimate reason to complain about the Red Sox if he wanted. The difference is that Derek Lowe has class. The Sox barely made any attempt at all to re-sign the guy. He was demoted to the bullpen for the playoffs. People questioned his ability and even his psychological integrity, including myself, all season last year. He ended up clinching the win in all three series' in the playoffs last year. He was terrible during the regular season. He was amazing in the playoffs. All this time Derek took the criticism instride and has had nothing but kind words about the Red Sox and its fans. Derek Lowe showed up for the ring ceremony today. He even wore his Red Sox jersey. This guy's got class and I hope he kicks ass in LA.

I awoke on Sunday morning feeling quite good. That is, right up until the time I had to get ready to go to Tristan's b-day party. (we here at coomey.net aren't very consistent when it comes to birthday announcements, sorry) I began to feel some moderate pain in my upper back/shoulder/neck region. It got so bad that I stayed home from work yesterday because I couldn't sleep Sunday night. It's not much better now.

I haven't posted in a while so I'll catch up on a few things. I have a new car thanks to a Humvee and my brother, Bill. The Humvee is to thank for ending the Neon's miserable life, and Bill is responsible for conjuring up a new one to take its place. No, the Humvee and my back/neck/shoulder issue are not related. The acquisition of the new car unfortunately could mean the end of my motorcycle, as I now have to pay off the remainder of my Neon loan AND a much more substantial insurance payment. We'll see how this goes. The new car is a black Focus hatchback I have dubbed "The Black Pearl." Of course, this means that I now have the same vehicle as my girlfriend which is extremely gay. I'll have to wreck hers somehow.

So far, I do not hate my job yet. It's been almost a year since I was with Cubist and I have no desire to kill anyone. It's an odd feeling. Though, I understand I would certainly be in prison or dead if I had stayed at Cubist. Shawn, I don't know how you do it man.

I'm looking to get another tattoo. I have a couple of ideas in mind but I'm not sure exactly how I'd like them done or exactly where. Celtic spirals are mostly what I'm looking at but I'm open to suggestions or designs.

Okay that's it.
