The Pilgrims would laugh at us

The economy is in the shitter. I cant afford my 5000sq foot home anymore. Waaaah! when did Americans become such a bunch of pampered pussies? We used to be goddamn pilgrims! We started the chain of natural selection here with some of the toughest bastards from England. We survived winters in America with very little food and freezing cold weather.

Now we cant function without our creature comforts and our taken for granted technology.I cant make it through Boston without my Gamin and I'm horrified when my phone loses its charge! God forbid I go a day without sending 100 texts to my friends.

This immediate gratification and pussification is killing us. We need to appreciate what we have more and get back to doing actual labor. I worry how dependant out kids are on technology and what that will mean for them later.

I think I may join Daryl Hannah and just live in a tee pee for a while.

Suck it Autism

My son is now socializing with his peers. Trading Pokemon cards on his school bus and though this will not seem like a good thing he told me somebody was a pecker head the other day.

I did not let him see my face as he would have loved the shock and I turned away and said, Bubba! you know that is a bad work right? However he did use it creatively and it did indeed sound like his cousin was being a pecker head.My point being that he is using language in less of a rote way. Bubba has feelings and empathy and very strong opinions that he is just learning to express.

His motor skills have improved as has his confidence in body awareness. Gone is the boy who slumped over in a heap after school. Now Bubba rides a scooter with aplomb and seems to never get tired.

There are still struggles ahead, concentrating on homework and completing it is challenging. Bubba wont raise his hand to answer the teacher just yet. Bubba's temper when he cannot easily master something needs to be reined in.

I went to see a school play that Bubba was a part of, he did well reciting his lines. Afterwards I saw him bowing his head down lost in his world and a little girl came over to him and touched his shoulder and whispered to him. I saw him look up at her and smile, snapped back into reality.

He does that to almost everyone he meets. Charms them with his innocence and openness, and his own classmates want to reach him and to know him. I see it time and again and feel comforted that he gets loved even when he is out of my nest.


Suck it Autism, we are still working around it and finding our way.

Josh Beckett Owns the Yankees and what makes Boston Fans great

Josh has his mojo back and pitched the sox to a 6 zip victory against the Yankees. His pitches were electric and beautiful and seeing him hammer the Yankees bullpen makes all right with the universe. The ire of Boston baseball fans is a fearsome thing but our love and loyalty is just as strong. Ive heard so may sports radio blowhards complaining about fans making Big Papi bow when he hits a homer. Idiots! He is acknowledging his fans undying devotion and faith in him. This is a part of baseball in Boston that people never seem to understand.

We love our baseball here and we are at our best as fans when our faith is tested. This is what Boston Dirt Dogs are all about.

We even applauded Mr Ego aka Roger Clemens at his last game at Fenway. We love our players deeply, sometimes we hate them bitterly when they leave us. I personally cannot stomach the sight of Johnny Damon with shorn locks in pinstripes. he just looks like a Borg who has assimilated into the collective douchebagdom of Yankees.

I will gleefully crow about every victory but secretly I am already worried about the next game. Such is the plight of a girl in Boston in love with an entire baseball team. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Breakfast I'd like to f*ck
