Living in the Moment

We've got D-backs spirit!

I pestered the guy next to me all night. I asked him who his favorite player was, if my homies were buggin' him, if he wanted to be best friends and whatnot. Do you see him trying to ignore my ridiculously self-indulgent behavior? I thinks he's peeking at me out of the corner of his eye. Crazy is hard to ignore.
There isn't an uglier picture on the planet. Just look at my neck meat--so disgust. Can you even stand looking at it? Right after Mi Amor snapped the picture, I knew it would go down in Suzuki family picture history. We've looked at the picture a hundred times since, and every time we look at it, we roar and scream about how crazy I look. It never gets old, so I just had to show it to you.

If you can't read my lips, I'm cheering along with the famous baseball game chant, "Da da da dunt da da, charge!" Of course I'm hamming things up a bit, but can I just tell you this is the best night I've had since my high school graduation?

I'm not one for letting go of it all. I'd rather worry about the bills, laundry, church callings, and the serial killer living next door. My want to worry 24/7 makes falling in love with a particular moment or experience very difficult. But on this night, I did it. I lived in the moment. I enjoyed every minute of the baseball game. We danced so much, we even made it onto the big-screen TV. The whole stadium got to see our moves.

We even stayed for the fireworks.

P.S. I think I'm balding.

  5. Just ran across your blog. Since I live in Chandler and am also a DBacks fan, it's nice to see somebody still out there cheering them on even though they are playing horrible!

    I've enjoyed your writing and you have made me laugh quite a few times this morning. Thanks for that!

  6. Thanks so much, Pam! I love to laugh. We do love the D-backs. I even made a cheer for Justin Upton, and I sang it to him while sitting in the nosebleeds. It goes something like: "Do it Up-Ton. Do it Up-Ton. Do it Up-Ton. Do it Up!" We also cast spells on the opposing team's pitcher by saying, three times, while wiggling our fingers, "You stink. You stink. You stink." Our spells have a 50% success rate--not too shabby:)

  7. Tatum, I'm embarrassed right now. If that is really Mr. Hodges, I'm going to die.

  8. I'm all for living in the moment, but not as brave as you. I would've deleted a picture of myself right off the camera...you did it better though.
