It's gonna be a bit...

Hey bitches!! Just wanted to let you know that it may be a week or so before I post anything substantial (other than some fun humorous items). Having just started a new job and trying to manage three different time zones now across the world between my brother, my east coast peeps and the italian, life is pretty interesting.

Thank God softball has officially ended. It ended up being one of the highlights of my year but I am also quite glad to get my weekends "back".

But, before I sign off... I should tell you that at a softball tourney this weekend, I had my personal season highlight. In softball, the length of time a game is allowed to go is limited. If time is called but it is the top of a new inning, the inning must be completed so that both teams have the same number of opportunities for at-bats.

So picture this... time had been called in the top of an inning when we were playing defense. So we would get our final at-bat as a team in the bottom of that inning. When we went to bat, we were down 11-9. We scored 2 runs to tie at 11-11. When yours truly takes the batter's box, we already have two outs... and for the tourney, it was a 1-1 rule: every batter starts out with a count of 1 ball and 1 strike.

I took a ball.
I took a strike.

So now my count is 2-2, the score is tied and my team has two outs. FUCK!

The pitch comes and I knock the HELL outta that ball for a good solid line drive single. But that was all we needed - it was enough for my teammate Horacio who was on Third base to make it home... giving us the run we needed to WIN the damn game.

yeah.... I rule! ;0)

SF Pride - Sins Style (this one's for you, Rhoda)

So this was my first Pride in San Francisco. I had a nice mix of personal frivolity along with some good volunteering both for ALC and my softball team. I also got to make out with a super hot muscleboy a lil' bit, so that was moist.

Here's some pictures of us at the fundraiser - along with our sister team and all-around drinking buddies, the SF Thunder. They are an awesome group of guys, almost as kick-ass as my teammates.

More on ALC booth later.

This was a booth at the festival. Still not entirely sure what it is all about. But I like it....

Here's me making out with the Cuervo poster in our booth. No, this is not the muscleboy to which I refer playing tonsil-hockey with earlier. That one was REAL, bitches.

Our Ladies of Perpetual Thunder: Chuck, Judy1 and Judy2

Here's the Lady Standridge modeling the front of our super-sexy new practice/fundraising t-shirts, made in large part possible by the fine lesbotronics at QUEER REPUBLIC TEES (<--link) And here is the back of the tshirt, modeled by Flipey.

HOT.
