Sometimes You Just Need A Cookie

Final Baseball Memorabilia Timetable

Hey everyone! It's your favorite slacker Greg! I'm here at work, and I just finished typing up my second 46 page manual! Yay! So I am celebrating by posting a blog. Anyways, as you can tell by the title this post is again about memorabilia, but I'll get to that in a second. First though, a promise is a promise and I said anyone who posted by 630am this morning would get a nice comment by me, so here it is!!

Erin - Nice blog, always enjoyable due to your complete and utter randomness and babbling, yet you tie it all together to make it sound very intellectual and thought-provoking. But I do think you worry WAY to friggin much about what you look like exercising. Heh, seriously, you're only adding stress to your life by worrying about that when exercising is supposed to relieve stress. And kudos to you for even working out in the first place, it's tough to get used to it and motivated to do it, so if you ran into someone (no pun intended) then they will probly praise you for working out and not look down on you for not wearing makeup. Makeup is wicked overrated anyways, and natural beauty is what counts. Remember when me and Ash came back to the room after the gym and your parents where there? I was a ball of sweat, and I didn't have my makeup on! But did I care? Nope! Heh, because your working out to look better, therefore, people don't look down on you for looking "bad" while working out, however they do look down on you if you stay in the same clothes for three days, don't shower or brush your teeth, and have BBQ sauce all over your face, and the only reason for it was because of a Star Trek marathon on the Sci-Fi channel. So as long as you stay away from that, people won't look down on you. But all in all, don't worry about what others think, because at the end of the day, you are all that matters. You will drive yourself insane if you worry only about what others think, because then you become more like others and less like yourself, and we like you for you, not everyone else!

Jenn - Once again, great thought provoking entry, (times two!) so that makes up for the whole two months of non-posts. :P But great posts nonetheless! My response to it; same with Erin, you worry too much. Relax, and go with the flow. Do whatever you feel like doing not, what you think you should be doing. College comes for 4 years and then its over. So make the most of it, but make sure you do what you want too. I am guilty of not doing everything I have wanted to do in college, but guess what? I still have two years to do that! So I loved my first two years, even if I spent a good portion of it in a room, I still had a blast with everyone around me! So do what you feel is right for you right now, and don't worry about the future. There is a great job out there for everyone and thankfully we don't have to worry about finding it until after college. (Granted we have to network and all that jazz but that's beside the point I swear! :) ) So don't worry about our life plans, keep it in the back of your mind yes, def don't forget about it, but don't worry about it either. Especially you. You're gonna be a successful worker at whatever you want to do, because you have a drive to be great. So relax for awhile and enjoy the ride that is college. Because I think you will find that there is a perfect mix of fun and work out there.

So there are my rewards to Erin and Jenn for updating, and in no way where either of those anything but humor. I was merely responding to their posts with my own opinion and sarcastic humor. It's a little hard to tell when written, but it was all humor! Heh, so enjoy those you two and keep on posting buddies!

So on to my memorabilia!!

I have set a timetable of what I am getting for the rest of the summer, and unless an unbelievable deal comes along, I am sticking to this! So here are the autographs I will be getting for the rest of the summer.

(Keep in mind, for every pay check I get, I am saving 500 dollars, so I am not just spending all my money on autographs.)

Pay Period: July 14th - Yogi Berra from his site
Bob Feller, Bill Mazeroski from Bob Feller's site

Pay Period: July 28th - Whitey Ford from his site
*Save money for Duke Snider*

Pay Period: August 11th - Brooks Robinson from his site
Juan Marichal, Rollie Fingers, and *Duke Snider* from Bob Feller's site

Pay Period: August 25th (last day of work) - Johnny Bench from his site

Pay Period: September 8th (last paycheck, not sure if it'll be for one week of pay or two, but I'm counting on one just in case, and if I get two, BONUS!)
Nolan Ryan from his site
Fergie Jenkins from his site

*Duke Snider* - His autograph is available from Bob Feller's museum site. Right now it is unavailable, but they may get some more in. If they don' t get it in By August 11th, I am going to buy it from the more expensive (only slightly) reggiejackson.com but I will save for that from the week previous where I am only buying Whitey Ford.

So that's my goal, and if I save 500 dollars every week, then I will have 2,650 dollars saved up for my Italy trip and my Toronto trip. So that is wicked kick ass. Not to mention I should at least have 1,000 dollars if not a lot more in my checking account. So there you have it people. By the end of the summer my collection will be amazingly impressive and I will stair at it for days and cry when I have to leave it for school....but life will carry on.


Keep On Rocking In The Free World!!
