Hey you! Stop that!

Wednesday, November 17, 2010

So since one of my previous posts about recurring-ish dreams, I haven't had the same "theme" dream till last night. It seemed real, like it could really happen kind of thing. And about 10 seconds into it, after I let my emotions get to me, I realized that I was dreaming and *poof* the dream stopped. That was weird. It's like I had a remote and pushed the off button. It was like I was telling myself "Hey you! Stop that! Don't let this dream get the best of you, because it's just a dream. Not real life. So there's no reason to let these feelings get to you." But once again, I feel stupid that I can't stop thinking about it and that I have dreams about it. AHHHH!!! So frustrating!

SF Giants = World Series Champs!

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

I wish I was in SF right now so that I could watch the parade. I know it's crazy, but I want to drown in a sea of people in black and orange.

I'm so proud of the Giants. I admit that I wasn't a fan until I moved to California 5 years ago, and that the only reason I got into it was because Brett has been a lifelong fan. But there aren't any teams in Hawaii. I was always a University of Hawaii fan, because that's who everyone rooted for, the local team. I didn't know much about baseball 5 years ago, but I've learned a lot and truly enjoy watching it. I even gave softball a chance because I thought I would like to play something that I watch. I like it. I'm just REALLY bad at it.

We always watch games and have been to a few each season for the past 4 or 5 years. This season, Brett and I watched 100+ games and attended a few. We've been disappointed by their losses and elated with their wins. We've watched them struggle and then make some of the most difficult plays look effortless. I know the players names, which has NEVER happened with any sport that I've watched. I came up with little nicknames and chants for some players. If they're batting, I make sure I say their nickname or chant, in case it's good luck. Hahahaha! I know that's weird, but I guess that's what fans are (not fair weather fans! not gonna get into that!).

Brett emailed me this article yesterday, and I almost teared up. I've become so attached to the Giants because I watched so many games, that I feel a little emotional of what they accomplished. Like tha article says, "a group of castoffs and misfits," but they fit perfectly into the team and work well together. I'm so happy that Edgar Renteria was named MVP... especially since he was thinking about retirement earlier this year. Oh I'm just so happy for them! Just read the article! Congrats San Francisco Giants!
