In honor of the dozens of people in attendance at this game (official attendance was 2988 but really, if there was more than 500 there I'll eat my shoe), I'm going to keep this short. During the postgame comments on the radio broadcast, as I was collecting my thoughts to write something you might enjoy reading free of charge on this here blog, my phone rang. I ignored it, because when Dana talks, I listen. This is one of my rules, and its gotten me in trouble with many ladies over the years.
On this day, I should have made an exception. See, it was an advertising agency calling to invite me in for an interview on Friday, and by ignoring it, they left a message that I was then forced to return. Not the end of the world, you say? Maybe not, but it might be bad karma. I don't know. What I do know is when you're unemployed, the usual rules probably shouldn't be enforced. Even when listening to Dana after his 500th win.
Jays predictably win by 18, 79-61, which is very close to what I predicted, hence why I say it was predictable. I pegged it at 76-59, and that's the closest I've been to being dead-on all year. Maybe that's good karma to offset the earlier bad karma I mentioned.
Anyway, the Jays are 12-2 overall, 2-0 in the league, and head into a big early season game at Illinois State this weekend. Illinois State is playing better than they have since the halcyon days of Rico Hill, and it remains to be seen if the Jays have a player the caliber of Rodney Buford to counter with. We'll see.
I'm off to give some last minute touch-ups to my portfolio and then I'll try to stay upright tonight on New Years for the first time in years, because on Friday, apparently, surprisingly, I've got a big interview at a big ad agency. Good for me, good for the Jays, good for everyone! Happy new years to you all, and wish me luck!
