That was actually kinda fun. Sorta. I'll close this journal with a few quotes from movies I've watched semi-recently. Note I've been on a bit of a Baseball kick if you can't tell.

"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been Baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time."

"I held it like an egg."

"But tonight, he's pitching against time, he's pitching against the future, against age, against ending. Tonight, he will make the fateful walk to the loneliest spot in the world, the pitching mound at Yankee Stadium, to push the sun back into the sky and give us one more day of summer. "

"And no matter what happens today, this time next year, the jerseys you're wearing will be polishing chrome in Madison High School. So ask yourself one question. How do you want to be remembered?"
