Being homeless around Christmas

I know, I know. My absence from the blog has been a hot topic around the city. "Where have you been Jimmy? We've been worried sick about you. Feed us blogs! Come back!" Those are just a few of the things I've been hearing during my daily stroll around town.

To be honest I've had quite the eventful past couple of days. Normally I'd love to blog about it, but to be honest it's downright embarassing and I'd rather forget it ever happened. To make a long and pretty entertaining story short, I lost my keys at about 3am Monday night, got locked out of my apartment, and well, here I am today, Christmas Eve, finally home!

I don't want to be homeless ever again, especially during Christmas. It was kind of like that movie Home Alone except I was homeless and not alone (so maybe it's nothing like Home Alone actually). Anyways, I'm alive! It's a Christmas miracle! So much shit happened while I was half dead in a gutter!

For one thing, when you're homeless you have a lot of time to do shit, but nothing to do and nowhere to go. Luckily I got all my Christmas shopping done on Tuesday at the mall because I needed a place to stay warm and decided to kill two birds with one stone. So that was fun. You can be homeless for a day or two and not feel half as bad as you do after a chicken quesadilla and three tacos from Taco Bell, I learned that for sure.

How about Mark Teixeira?! I'm glad he's not on the Sox, I'm ecstatic actually, a little bummed the Skanks got him but what can you do right? They lose one terrible contract in Giambi and pick up right where they left off with three more! Thats why I love Hank the Yank Skank Steinbrenner. Teixeira is a very good player, but honestly the Sox are a pitcher and a catcher away from ring number three this century. Sign Derek Lowe!

Also, I didn't feel bad missing the post-game post about the Celtics after beating the 76ers last night because technically I already blogged on that last week. Tomorrow is Christmas and you know what that means... Celtics. Lakers. 5:00est. ABC. Do yourself a favor and bet on the Celtics. Last time I checked they were underdogs. Not sure how that is possible but it is.

Bruins won again last night as well as Tim Thomas made exceptional save after exceptional save.

It's almost not newsworthy anymore to report that the Bruins or Celtics win games. Should I start blogging about how it was cold today too? "The Celtics won last night, and in other obvious news, college students drink and smoke." If I'm going to blog about those things I guess I should blog everytime Plaxico Burress gets caught with guns. See my point? Boston teams know how to win, and it's almost just understood at this point.
