- Trouble -

Have you ever lost touch with close friends that your heart aches everyday.  You miss so many things about them, times hanging out, laughing, talking, doing life deeply together.  You think about them and miss them often.  But so much has happened in their lives since you lost contact.  You wonder if their lives are better without you.  You don't know if you can to start again. You don't know how you could start agian.  So your isolation continues.....

While I was updating my profile with my new email address, I noticed something about the order of my favorite sports.  I love sports.  I really, really do.  I grown up with sports all of my life. Recently, I've been contemplating quite a bit about which sport I love the most.  That is not an easy task.  There are lots of variable to consider in making such a subjective judgment.  How was I introduced to the sport?  When did I start liking the sport?  How much I've played the sport?  How much do I know about the sport?  How much do I follow the sport?  Relationships that have been built up by watching that sport together?  But I think baseball is my first love when it comes to sports.  Namely the Cincinnati Reds.  I started going to baseball games with my dad when I was just a lil tyke.  My dad and I still go see the Reds play several times every year together, one of those times being the first week of Aug.  Considering my birthday is Aug. 5 and his is Aug. 9, we always take each other to the game.  Typically the Reds conveniantly enough schedule a nice home streak during that week.  This year however they will be on the road that week.  I can't count how many Reds games I've been to in my life.  I know it is a lot.  My favortie game togo to all year is the Reds Opening Day. There is so much excitement and anticipation about the begining of a new season.  Not to mention everyone is so thrilled to be able to wear t-shirts, shorts and sandles again after those long. cold, winter months.  Not to mention all of the beer everyone is drinking on a day and time they should be at work.  Hanging out with my friends talking for several hours while taking in a game at a ballpark.  It truly is a beautiful thing.  Tickets go on sale for the first opening day at the Great American Ballpark one week from today.  Hopefully I will be one of the lucky few that gets tickets to the game next Saturday.  All of that to say those are a coule of things I love about baseball.
