Drawings, Drawings: Red Sox Nation!
Hi there, been a while hasn't it?
Spring Training is here, and I can't get enough of all these new interviews n stuff pouring out!!! I'll write a bit more about that later, but meanwhile, here's another drawing....not a player, but a member of RSN, no doubt...I did a portrait of the son of SoSHer shoebox91, and here it is!
Isn't he adorable?? :D

Drawings, Drawings: Schilling
Hullo, here's one of Curt that I did.....It would be cool if he'd actually come and see it someday. I wonder if he'd like it. (actually, it wouldn't be too good if he did see it and he hated it...hope that won't be the case! :D)
Anyways, here he is. I dunno, it kinda looks like him, doesn't it? Oh well......leave comments please! :D
I got Johnny and Big Papi coming up, dunno when I'll finish them though....school work is defintely starting to build up. By the way, please excuse that watermark running across his face, but you know how things are; I've been burnt before, don't want it to happen again....so it's my futile attempt to prevent certain things this time. If you by any chance want a better quality image, let me know!

Which Red Sox Player Are You?
Heh, there's a funny quiz online.....you can check which Red Sox player you're like the most. 40 questions, pretty quick. Go Try it out! My top 3 were Curt Schilling, Jason Varitek and Theo Epstein (hmm...not quite a "player", is he tho?)...
So.....Which Red Sox player are you?
Oh, and as for the drawings...I hope more ppl come and see them! I'll have Curt up soon. Johnny and Papi coming up! (dunno when I can get to finishing them tho...)

Drawings, Drawings: Varitek
Since I like to slack off and do things I'm not supposed to, I decided to try drawing my version of the 2005 Red Sox one by one whenever I feel like it.....they're not perfect, but I hope you like 'em. If you'd like to show someone or such, please leave comments, or email me and lemme know! Don't forget to credit it to me. Thanks! :-)
So here you are, our new captain; Jason Varitek. (he looks a bit chubby, but...oh well)

Two Championships!!!
Wow. The Patriots are just amazing.....and Belichick is unbelievable. I did miss a whole chunk of the game trying to buy art supplies in LA, but I did catch the end part, and I got to see Belichick and his Dad get ice-showered by Bruschi. Really very quiet around here, I wish I was back in New England being noisy.
The year is off to another good start. It's your turn, Red Sox!! World Series 2005 is about..8 months away now? Can't wait...

Chips, Beer, Fried chicken.......and the Game
I really am not a football fan, I don't even know the rules too well, but it's hard not to get excited when it's time for Super Bowl....well, actually that was when I was surrounded by New Englanders and college jocks and such. Now, I seem to be the only one excited around here, as usual. I'm just looking forward to sitting around and munching in front of the TV. It's a good excuse to not work during that time, too. Too bad Tom Brady is a fan of Jeter, but who cares, more than 85% of the people say Boston is a baseball town.
But still......Go Pats!!

Just 2 Weeks till Spring Training...
I can indure this lack of Red Sox news for two weeks....Spring Training is coming up in just a couple weeks, and during that time I'll be in a "Imma-gonna-work-hard" mode. I wonder how Curt's ankle is doing? I saw him in the celebrity poker thing last week - which was an annoying display of Everybody Loves Raymond cast members competing to see who can be funnier - he didn't look too good there. But I think that was probably filmed quite a while ago so I shouldn't judge from that. Personally, I'd rather see him be a few weeks late and be in top shape for the rest of the season than rush him to pitch opening day. But, my opinion on this is really not a factor at all and they have doctors and all who'll be the judge of that....In any case, I hope every Red Sox will be healthy this year!!
Meanwhile, here's a photo I took on May 8th, after Curt's first complete game against the Royals. That was a good day; great weather, great pitching, and that inside-the-park-homer by Pokey....Pokey's gone, so is Petey and everyone else....kinda makes me sad.
(ignore the guy in the foreground....wish he hadn't been walking right there)

Tickets.??....You Wish.
In a vain attempt to satisfy myself, I registered for the "Red Sox Nation Member Special - Buy Your Tickets a Day Early" thingamajig. Well, it was really great to get selected for that "exclusive" offer, but sharing it with hundreds of other "exclusive" people was just....well, really swell. On top of that, I had to face the harsh reality that I couldn't afford either the time or the money to go all the way to Fenway from LA this year, so I just watched the hours pass away wishing I could join all those other fellow RSN ppl in the Virtual Waiting Room. Oh well, who knows, I might somehow find a way to go. I swear to someday be living back in New England with season tickets in my hands every year.
Instead, I announce my alternate baseball plans for 2005 -
Go watch the Red Sox at Anaheim 8/18 ~ 8/21
Go visit my sister in Chicago in June, watch the Red Sox at ChiCubs 6/10 ~ 12 (yeah, right, I can sooo get these tickets)
Go watch DLowe and Dougie play at a Mets at LA Dodgers game 8/12 ~ 8/14
Go watch....err...a Red Sox World Series game, if it should ever happen at Dodger Stadium
Good luck to me on scoring those tickets....
