final four day. i’m beginning to get anxious instead of just excited, but it’s good, it is all good. i’ve always been into basketball — university of illinois fighting illini basketball — so march is a special sacred time. and yes, okay, in 2005 i was heartbroken and cried a lot.
carolina basketball is really good, though, and it ought to be a good game tonight, which is what i’m looking forward to. tensions will be running high! i am going to weep into my beers! i always get hoarse from yelling, too, which is ridiculous considering i never yell in public, especially at vital televised sporting events.
the cardinals are off to a really solid start, too, and i’m not even going to mention that they would have the highest winning percentage in baseball right now if their first game at busch hadn’t been called for rain when they had, what, i think a 5-1 lead on the rockies? i mean, i’m not going to mention it much. almost better than the cardinals’ glory are the cubs’ stats so far, even at home on the north side. whatever! i am pumped and into it and it is awesome.
talking about sports has led me to ignore the most important news of the week, which is of course beyonce and jay-z finally getting married on 04-04-08, the prospect of which just makes me a little bit misty, weepy all over. TRU LUV: what we all aspire to
