Labor Pains

Dear Summer, I know you gone miss me. For we've been together like Nike airs and crisp T's. 

I love that Jay Z song (Dear Summer for those who don't know). It always seems very fitting to me around Labor Day. The Minnesota State Fair is over, we're rolling into September and football is starting. For all intents and purposes, Summer is behind us. 
Fall is a great season in Minnesota, but it reminds me of a Sunday. The coolness of Saturday has already passed, and while technically it's still a weekend, you know what tomorrow brings. And tomorrow is Winter. I hate winter with a passion. But that's a topic for a different day.

I'm completely wasting my life away playing Skyrim. I picked it up randomly this past week and have probably put 10 hours into it already. I love it. The one thing that takes away from the awesomeness is that it randomly glitches on me. But other than that, it's AM-azing. 

I'm a die hard Twins fan. But you already knew that. But it's incredibly difficult to watch this team play this year. Most of the roster is a bunch of nobody's that should probably be in AAA. One of my favorite Major League lines is "who the fuck are these guys"? I sometimes feel like that when I'm watching the Twinkies. Chris Callabelo? Oswaldo Arcia? One day they might make an impact, but for the time being, their just bodies filling jerseys. My seamhead friends are more upset than I am that we're rebuilding for 2016 when Sano and Buxton get up here. But as a lifelong Cubs fan (yes, you can technically be both) I'm used to losing seasons. But we still love our team and we come out to fill the ballpark. Winning isn't EVERYTHING....right? 

Also, the next idiot who tries to compare Breaking Bad to The Wire is getting punched in the neck.
