Gummi Bears

So, my sister is home as you know, and being typical Carmen she has had her cravings regarding sweets. And of course, she is not afraid to voice them.

It was late yesterday afternoon/evening when my mother and I were going through my closet cleaning out old shirts and what not when she came into my room and sat on my bed just to make her presence known. It didn't take her long to find an old (and I mean old) box of unopened Nerds candy. Quickly springing into action she snatched them up and asked me if she could have them. I said sure, noting the fact that she had mentioned to me numerous times how all she wanted was gummi bears or some sort of sweet candies.

My dear sweet mother, the amazing woman that she is, brought home some gummi bears tonight for her daughter. She alerted me to this right away, but I did not get the text message until about an hour after she sent it to me as I was indisposed at that moment. I had stopped by my best friends house for dinner after a run and had left my cell in my truck. I got a laugh out of the text that was sent as it simply stated: Dude. Mom bought gummi bears. Thanks. I feel as if it was because the statement that I made when she was in my room on Sunday that made my mom be thoughtful and buy them for her. It's nice to be loved so much by your mom. Boy am I lucky.

The Reds started their series with the Tampa Bay Rays tonight in big fashion, getting a shutout victory for starting pitcher Mike Leake. The 5-0 win gets them to two games above .500 and I really really really really REALLY want them to get it going. REALLY.

I know this was a bit of a weak post, but I'm tired and I have a video game waiting on me to play. Plus time is short for the game I'm going about to start playing (NCAA Football 2010). The 2012 edition of the game is coming out in two weeks. You could say I'm excited.

Those People Who Mr. Goodell Call 'Officials'

Hmph. That about sums about the way I feel about the National Football League at the moment. So does the rest of America, or so it seems. I guess it is a good move on my part that I did not write this post last night around midnight after I saw this happen to my beloved Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. The fact that this blatantly awful call was on national television amplifies the situation more than people realize. Through the first three weeks of this NFL season, it is no secret that the gentlemen (and lady in one instance) that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hired to work this season until the regulars get their labor situation figured out with the owners of all 32 franchises in league are just embarrassing. These officials have consistently made bad call after bad call (just YouTube NFL replacement refs bad calls and you will be able to waste a solid amount of time at work or in class shaking your head) and I think we all were just sitting around and waiting f...

My First Legal Drinking Age Post

Hello everybody, and welcome to this, my first blog post as a legal American Drinker. As some of you know, my 21st birthday indeed was yesterday, and even though this was really the only thing I had to drink last night, I still had an awesome day. While I'm assuming all of you will shake your head at me about the Smirnoff Ice, let me explain myself first. I was able to switch shifts with some of my co-workers so I could have Wednesday (my birthday) off. As a result of this, I took advantage of being old enough to drink alcohol on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. I'm told I had a great time, and surely hope that was the case because of the state my body was in yesterday. The day was rough but I suppose that's how you are meant to felt on your 21st birthday. The reasoning for the Smirnoff Ice being one of a few drinks I had yesterday is this: as is tradition at 137 East Frambes Ave. (better known as the "Incinerator") anytime it is someone's birthday and/o...

Another Realization

As I finally have found some time to sit down and write a bit (work is simply sucking my summer away from me), I can't help but mention the man who in a way sort of inspired me to start this blog in the first place, Mark Titus. He, as I'm sure many of you know is the founder of Club Trillion (you can follow his blog if you want-I do) and has christened this week Nut Up or Shut Up Week because he is doing his best to post on his blog once a day. I mention this because since my own personal blog is called the "Daily Segs" one would figure that I would post on here every single day, and for a while I did do that. During spring quarter was when I began this little beauty and vowed to write every day. I have since gotten away from that for a number of reasons. The easiest one to blame it on is the fact that I'm working 40+ hours a week at a distribution center and after leaving there it is either really late or I am exhausted or both. But the main reason (it pains me t...
