I love you all, except for the guy in the back

Ok, The Mets won the subway series.  4 out of six games, today should be my day right?  I should be bubbling over in delight.

I am, I am really truly pleased.  But there is a problem.

I’m now utterly convinced I’m a Jinx for the Mets, so if they make it to the world series, I must die.

I’m serious I’m going to have to commit suicide or something, because I just want them to win the series that badly. 

It started like this, Friday I missed the first game and the mets won it 15-6.  Cool right?

It’s a double header so I caught the second game.  Mets lost 0-9.  Fuck!

Ok so I caught the game last saturday, I tuned in later but the Mets were ahead 1-0.  Ok I’m watching, the Mets were starting to lose, I had to leave for a little and then the mets started to catch up a little, awesome!  Then they lost, dammit!

I couldn’t watch the game at all today, and guess what they won 3-1, yay!  But, that’s the thing, I watch, they lose.  I watched the play offs religiously in 2006, and the Cardinals crushed them.  In 2000, well we know that story.

I’m a jinx, and I’m sorry guys, I really truly am.  I’ve always loved you, I snuck into bars to watch the games, and I refuse to wear any other cap but a Mets (although I would rock a Brooklyn Dodgers cap too [only if it has the B insignia]).  I taught the aussies your glory guys, and spread the word in Ireland! 

Miss Brit understood when she refused to let me read something bad about you guys, because I might have choked out a yank fan.

However I’m still the bum bringing you guys down.  Forgive me.  If Delgado needs to club me to death in order to win, I except it.  It would be an honor to be killed by the big man.

I Keep With The Mylo Tradition

File under... Heart 'o' Darkness — mylo @ 5:28 pm

Oh no, I can’t do a road trip the easy way.  With friends, a convertable, and lots of beer fueled mayhem.  I have to do it the Mylo way, as hard as possible, by myself, and with a vehicle a lawnmower can probably beat in a race.

I’m sure grandpa is giggling his head off in heaven.

So there is good news.  Sort of.

I think I have the route calculated for half of the trip finally.

It's only half of the trip

Awesome right?  Believe it or not this isn’t my ideal trip.  I would love to emulate the guys who did Moped to South America.  In my opinion out of all the moped/scooter adventures, those guys had the most guts out of all them.

They are seconded by the scoot stars (because they really did have extremely crappy scooters and very little support).

Anyway I did hit a bit of a hitch.  Two actually.

I started writing letters around easter to various publishers, and small motor vehicle manufactorers.  This was around Easter.  The idea was to include a portfolio of photographs I made in the past year, and some writing samples.

You know, “my writing may suck, but I make pretty pictures!”

Well first my scanner, my awesome scanner that could scan in negatives and prints died.  Then Faithe passed on with all of my old work locked in her hard drive.

So getting sponsorship is going to be a little hard until the fall when I can try and retrieve everything.  Then there is the matter of scanner, hey you know what also happens in the fall?

My birthday.  I think someone owes me something.

Speaking of tech.   The two cameras  I want to use.  My mighty Nikon FM, and the Yashica Mat TLR are both in need of repair.

Badly.

Finally, I’m really down to one vehicle that I want. 

The Tomos Sprint, with slight modifications.  Luckily it’s only about a grand, so if I don’t get sponsorship I can find a way to finagle myself one.

So yeah, we’re getting there.  Next summer heart-o-darkness no matter what.
