It's pretty amazing how a sports team can effect your mood. As a Mets fan, I've pretty bummed out so far this week. They've lost 5 in a row, while the second place Phillies have won 6 in a row to pull up within 2 games of first place. I don't know why such a thing should bother any sane person. It's not like we, the fans, have any real control over what happens. The best we can do is buy a hot dog while at the game to help pay off Carlos Delgado's salary.
It's an odd bond between fan and team. You watch the team play every day, get to almost feel like you know each player. They have no clue who you are, and they don't care. You can cheer, rant, or cry all you want they're not going to win a game for you. They're playing because they want to win, not because you want to.
I suppose it's not much different than watching an action movie. Except in a movie, you know the good guy is going to win in the end. In baseball, there's no such guarantee. Every fan thinks their team is the good guy. There isn't really any bad guys (except for Barry Bonds). Everyone hates the Yankees and could possibly define them as the villains of baseball, but the Yankee fans would probably disagree with you.
So, logically we should all just be able to sit back and enjoy the game and not worry so much. Yeah, right....

Hello folks!I will be soon be departing for another hiatus for about a week. Sorry to disappoint all my loyal followers. Anywho, to help make this time apart less traumatic I've decided to share with you some MP3s I've had hanging around the warehouse. Enjoy friends!
You can click on the little speaker next to each title to play the song, or just right click and choose "Save as" to save the song to your computer. For those of you on macs without a two button mouse you know what to do... and get a second button you crazy people!
Back To The Future - This was my attempt to make a techno/disco version of the Back To The Future Song.
Toxic - Since the beginning of Britney Spears's career cheesegod.com has been trying to bring her down, and judging by the events of her life over the last year or two, I think it's safe to say we succeeded. This was my attempt to improve one of her songs. While I'm not going as far as to say this version is good, I'll definitely says it's better than her version.
Cosby VS The Simpsons - Back in 1990 there was much controversy when FOX decided to move The Simpsons from Sundays to Thursdays against The Cosby Show. I did not make this song, it's from Z100. The only thing I had to do with this song is that I happen to find it on an old audio cassette of mine, as is evident by it's lo-fi sound.
George Bush - A song made from speeches by George Bush during his 1988 reelection campaign. This is also from Z100. Don't let the last two songs fool you, Z100 sucked back then and sucks even more now.
Yankee Ad - Consider this that extra on the DVD that no one will ever watch, but they put it there anyway so you feel like you're getting more bang for your buck. This is the music I composed in about 3 seconds with Garage Band in 2004 for the Yankees/Visa Ad spoof on this website.
Enjoy the music! I'll see you all in a week or so!

Boston Rob has begun ringing door bells to gain support to win the next million
dollar prize on reality show Survivor.
In the major twist, that turned out be more of a slight turn, on Survivor viewers
are going to be able to award a million dollars to the player of their choice.
Unable to influence the vote as easily as the sheep he played with on the show
he has taken to the streets to convince the American public.
"I knock on each persons door and convince them to form an alliance with me."
Boston Rob told us from under that stupid baseball cap, "I tell them that if
they're ever on Survivor and they have another one of these poll thingies I'll
vote for them."
Rob then looked around to make sure no one was looking and then leaned in and
told us, "Of course I might not vote for them, that's all up to me."
The grassroots campaign seems to be working to a certain extent, an online poll
shows Rob's support has grown from 3% to 4%.
Rob's marathon had a set back when the show's main winner and now his finance had
to be taken to the hospital to be treated for her badly scraped knees. It seems
Amber was dragged along too many streets while clinging to Rob while he was on
his campaign.
Survivor, which was renamed the Boston Rob Show about half way through this
season, has never before given viewers the choice of who should win a prize. All
cast members now have to plea their cases to the public for the first time.
"I believe I'm going to win this money. After winning $100,000, finding the love
of my life, her winning $1,000,000, both of us winning cars, who deserves it
more."
So far, the only thing known for sure, Yankee fans have yet another reason to
hate the Red Sox.
