The Sport of StickBall

Today was a fun day for me. Anything's fun for me as long as I don't have to study. Played my first game of stickball. For the stickball - virgins, stickball is an offshoot of baseball. Its played in a much smaller are than an actual babseball pitch, the bat is a lot thinner ( kind of like the dry brooms in India ) , and its played with tennis balls. So the rules are similar to baseball ... tag outs, home runs, running bases etc. My team lost 27 - 24 but I managed to hit 4 Homers and never struck out the whole game. And I was told that was kind of a big deal for a decent player, let alone a debutante. So at least now I have an alternate career option .. albiet an amateurish one.

Followed that up with Spiderman 2. For those of you who liked Spiderman 1 .. u'll love Version 2. Its a better story and the effects are just as good .. and a few scenes are heart stoppers. There are a couple of corny scenes in there but overall .. its a billion dollar making money machine. The producers are gonna laugh all the way to the Swiss Bank. For those of you who don't care too hoots about it .. don't go see it and spoil it for the rest of the people at the theatre ( like some girls at the movies over here did today).

Heading to sleep now. After a 15 hr day .. now I get 3 hrs of sleep before I head off to work again. Man life is tough .. but sometimes fun.

Cheers.
The Moj.
