I've wanted to write this for a few weeks, but I've been considering the effects of my reaction of the Mookie Betts trade. ICYMI, I sort of talked about that a lot here. -The CEO of a Dodgers Fan Group (I Guess That's a Thing) Put Up a Billboard Outside of Fenway for Thanking the Red Sox For Trading Mookie Betts -As if the Red Sox Weren't a Big Enough Joke Already, Lebron James Now Owns (Governs) Part of Them! -I Want to Believe But I Don't Know If I Can -Well, This (Potentially) Changes Everything -Not Only Do the Red Sox Suck at Paying Generational Talent, but They Suck at Twitter Too! -It Looks Like The Dodgers Are About To Sign Mookie to a Giant Deal -Some Telling Stats About The Future of The United States of America -How to Induce Vomiting (in New England) -Mookie Betts Buys Groceries and Pizza For People Shopping and Working in Tennessee -John Henry FINALLY Addresses The Mookie Betts Trade (and I Address My Future as a Red Sox Fan) -After Nearly A Week of Hold Ups The Curse of Mookie Is Official (R.I.P. My Red Sox Fandom) -So You're Telling Me There's a Chance? -I Officially No Longer Love The Boston Red Sox I mean my idea of 2020 Red Sox boycott did work out well. And I hate to do this when they're 19 games over .500 and in first place because it's easy to say, "oh, you're just jumping back on the bandwagon" well, not really. I was a die-hard Red Sox fan for over 15 years. I've forgotten more about the Sox than most people know. I stopped caring because I cared too much and was hurt by shady business practices, and sure, the Red Sox OF has performed quite well this year, but I'd still rather have Mookie Betts for the next decade. I don't love the Red Sox like I once did. I don't know if I'll ever be able to again, but I'm opening up to the idea of not despising them anymore for social and career purposes. I can't afford to throw away my baseball knowledge. I'm holding on to too much hate already between the GQP trying to ruin this country and my fucked up relationships with basically everybody I know lolol (including myself!!!). I have to let some go. The Mookie trade was the straw that broke Ole Dozo's back after decades of scumbag moves by ownership, but I'm the captain of my ship, and just because I hate those scumbag billionaires doesn't mean I need to cut off my nose to spite my face. I do still use Amazon after all :(
The Red Sox have brought me great joy in my nearly 30 years on this planet and are an easy conversation piece/way to connect with people To be honest, COVID totally ruined my already bleak social life, so I need all the help can get. I wanted to write something better than this and will at some point, but my friend asked me if I wanted to see the Red Sox play the Yankees in NY for Jarred Duran's potential MLB debut before they trade him for 30 cents on the dollar someday. I've already turned down tickets to Fenway on a Friday night last month and realized I probably missed out on a good time. I'm going to THE Stadium to watch the Sox, and I am 1000% expecting them to lose since they're undefeated against the Yankees this year, and I'm making my return to fandom.

Song: Smile (2021) Artist: Wolf Alice Album: Blue Weekend After three weeks without blogging (my longest inactive stretch since pre-vid), ya boi is back. Sorry for never giving an official "I'm taking some time" post. It was never really supposed to be this way, but to paraphrase from Smash Mouth's 1999 classic "All-Star," "well, the days start coming, and they don't stop coming," and shit sort of snowballed. Once school ended for the year on the 25th (of June), I took a week to decompress and do absolutely nothing for a week before I got into the summer grind (ub** and writing). Hopefully, the cliche police don't come to break down my door for the following line, but the last year-plus has been incredibly challenging and draining. My mental health has deteriorated like Charlie Kelly's underwear. I want to be a Barstool Blogger more than anything in the world, but I just needed some time away before using summer break to some work in and make more content. Like last summer, I've been putting on an absolute clinic on the ub** streets, and that's sort of overtaken my life. Since covid pushed the school year back a little, I took a week, and BAM, it's already 4th of July weekend, which then turned into nine straight days of driving. It's a double-edged sword because I'm making better money than my "real job" and interacting with other human beings that can be nice in small doses, but unlike being a sub, my hours are long and sporadic. I no longer have my "routine" of waiting for the clock to run out, go home, write a couple of blogs, eat 3,500 calories, watch something with my roommates, get 5 hours of sleep, rinse and repeat. But now I'm back; I'm done living in my head. Was part of the break to see if anybody would actually reach out and be like, "Dozo, I miss your blogs; what's going on?" but sadly, that did not happen. Just more motivation for when I finally make it. I'm not sure how consistent blogs will be this summer with trying to bank as much money on the roads as possible to invest back into DOL (I need to get a real camera and mic to do better videos). I've got so much to say and am glad to be writing again, but time is of the essence here. I need to get my real big news out before I head to the Big Apple tonight. IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME, WELL, THAT ISN'T FUCKING RELEVANT! |
