Jesus has risen? Quick! Hide all the eggs!

Well I just got back from visiting my family for Easter. Beyond just seeing my immediate family I also got to see my cousins too, so that was cool. The main problem with seeing eveyone all at once is that I got to hear the question "So why haven't you updated your blog?" about 1.3 billion times (I admit, its been a while). I thought about making a really stupid post containing only a 5th grade level fart joke and telling them all "I updated it...happy?", but then I realized my cousins are UGA educated and thus would probably enjoy such a post more than any of my others. I guess I should just be happy that some people actually read this occasionally to kill time and notice when there is a lull.

This past weekend was not the only chance I had to see my family. Two weeks ago my dad flew out here to visit me and see the Red Sox come to play the Rangers in the season opener. This was the first time I got to see Ameriquest Field. It actually is a nice stadium. Its no Fenway, but then again the Rangers are no Red Sox. The main difference can be seen by looking closly at the picture to the left. I bring attention the upper deck, where entire sections are COMPLETELY EMPTY. You will never, ever, see that at a Red Sox game. I dont care if they are playing the Devil Rays, the game sells our weeks in advance. This is made even more bizaare by the fact that a large portion of the fans there were Red Sox fans. Very sizable chants of "Lets Go Red Sox!" broke out several times. I assume that means that the attendence was boosted by the sizable contingent of Red Sox fans and other games would draw a smaller crowd. Thats sad. I had fun though, and will need to go back at sometime when I can cheer for the home team. Maybe when they play the Yankees. I can break out my Yankees Suck t-shirt and gleefully shout my theories about the sexual orientation of and activities engaged in by the Yankees infield. It will be just like old times.
