It is hard being me.......

Don’t be mad. Or jealous.
But I think I might have powers. Like Superman.
Today, during the first ½ of the Earthquakes game, well.. To say it bluntly.. They were sucking big time. They were playing really sloppy.
During ½ time, I decided to put on my Brian Ching Practice Jersey to
Bring the team good luck. I put the Jersey on.. The jersey that the BIG KAHUNA wore himself.. I stroked the shirt And said ..”come on baby.. you can do it..” and I swear.. As God as my witness.. Brian Ching scored!! (dang I am good) They went on to win 2-0.. No worries, I have put the Jersey in a safe place.. For the next time they need me.. I promise to use my powers only for good.. Hmm. I wonder how you become a member of the justice league.. I could totally car pool with the wonder twins..

How was I the proud owner of an Actual Brian Ching practice Jersey, you ask?
Well, have a seat and let me Tell you the story. At the beginning of the season,
rumors were swirling about The Quakes moving to Houston. (In actuality, they might still be moving.. most likely not to Houston thanks to Katrina and Rita, but somewhere other then here) The news really had me on pins and needles. The uncertainty of it all was (is)
Very stressful… A few days after hearing this news, I happen to get a letter from Alexi Lalas..
Alexi Lalas WAS the GM for the Quakes (he has moved on to the NY/NJ Metrostars) The letter basically wanted to thank me for my continued support of the team.. OK, it was a
Form letter.. But I took it personal. I was pissed. Don’t patronize me!!!
Being the computer whiz that I am.. I figured Alexi’s email address Was PROBABLY his name .. So, I fired off an email blasting his half hearted letter. No way was It going to smooth my ruffled feathers. I didn’t appreciate his meaningless letter. If my support was so appreciated, why weren’t they staying?? Anyways, this email generated a response from Alexi.. Apologies and the like.. I, of course responded.. And it turned into ..”I will forgive you if you give me a Brian Ching Jersey..” well, Alexi invited me into the GM box for a Game, we continued our email correspondence for several months, and ultimately he sent me the coveted jersey..
If you learn nothing else from me, dear reader, know that ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE!
