1. I love rooting for the underdog, and there is no bigger underdog than the Florida Marlins. All players on their team have about 2-3 years of experience, ever. Their payroll is less than the employees at your local Circle K. Yet they defy the odds and are somewhat competitive. You know why? Heart. And there is nothing more loveable than heart in a guy who just quite doesnt have the talent. Its great to be a fan when one win in a 162* game season makes you so happy. BoSox fans arent satisfied unless they win it all in October. Me? Just gimme a 2 out rally in the 9th to beat the Royals.
2. Moss/Ivy. Does any substance give the feeling of age and wisdom like moss or ivy? Take any average gate and add ivy: all of a sudden that thing has been there since the 1700s and hides wonderful secrets. Got plain stepping stones? Add a little moss around them and you are walking a path into a magical forest with pixies buzzing about.
3. Sounds. Gosh I love sounds. Not only music, but just different noises. Its amazing how a sound can freak you our ot warm you to the core. Some top sounds are typewriters, biting into an apple, (sorry bout the creepy laugh at the end of the apple bite but its all i could find) and dress shoes on a wood floor. Senses in general are pretty awesome. I like sense.
4. Cat sarcasm kills me. If you know a cat, you know what Im talking about. I really dont like cats much, but sometimes they just slay me. Have you ever tried to excite a cat? Like for a dog you jump around, talk in a wacky voice, and make a fool of yourself and it gets excited and wants to play too. But a cat...oh no, you my friend are mocked by that effing cat. They have an amazing ability to just pierce you to the core and say "uh, you're an idiot. " Its like the look you would get if you walked into a real indie music store and bought the latest Sum 41 release.
5. The invention of those olde tyme big wheeled bikes. These have always fascinted me, I mean what were they thinking? Who came up with this?
* Thanks to all the baseball buffs for the correction. It is, in fact a 162 game season.

loving it so far. lol'd a few times already.
167 game season? (i wanna say it's still 164, but i may be wrong). don't love anything that really comes out of south florida with the exception of hanley ramirez's kids...
AJ... i'm not a huge blog shopper, but i think i could get use to yours. i love telling people about things in life that i just love or that just excite me like nothing else in the world. but i have found that sometimes saying those things out loud ruins it a little for me. like if people don't reciprocate the excitement it just spoils my joy. but i have a huge desire to share my joy with others and donald miller captures this i think in the beginning of blue like jazz, "Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way." so anyways... thanks for sharing the little things in life that bring you joy with the rest of us, hopefully other people will see and jump with joy as well.
yeah its definitely a 162 game season...nbd
