JD Friday Night: Best and Worst day of your life
by TheTinfoil on Jul 31, 2009 9:57 PM PDT

The best day of my life was in the summer of 1992. I was 12, and it was little league season, and I pitched a 1 hit shutout of the vaunted Yankees team. In 7 innings, I struck out 12, and hit a triple off the fence. The coach wrote all the stats on the ball and gave it to me. It's still in a box in my closet. Most significant days (weddings, births of children) can't really called the greatest because there is so much stress associated with them. At age 12, nothing is stressful. I'm pretty sure we finished the day with a team sleepover, and ate Otter Pops until the wee hour of midnight.
The Worst day of my life was my grandpa's funeral. I wrote this awesome eulogy for him, but I knew I wouldn't be able to read it, so my mom did it for me. I was all sobbing in the third row, and some distant cousin gave me a kleenex and it smelled like old lady perfume. Crying uncontrollably into an old lady perfume kleenex. Bad, bad day.

Jeff Pendergraph will go beast mode all over your face
I've never dealt with death, so, the worst day of my life
has to be the day I got my heart broken.
Best day…..hmmm, I don’t know. I have a lot of good days that I could list, but I don’t know which one to make the best day. The day I got my college acceptance letter was pretty great. The day my cross country team won the district title in convincing fashion after losing our best runner was pretty great. Or the day a different cross country team of mine made nationals. Or to counter the bad day, the day that same girl said I love you for the first time or perhaps the day she said she said she was falling in love with me all over again.
It’s hard to pick. Although, I am glad that I only have one day to list in the worst section.

Just waking up in the morning gotta thank god
I dont know but today seems kinda odd
No barking from the dogs, no smog
And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog
I got my grub on, but didnt pig out
Finally got a call from a girl wanna dig out
Hooked it up on later as I hit the do
Thinking will I live, another twenty-four
I gotta go cause I got me a drop top
And if I hit the switch, I can make the [donkey] drop
Had to stop at a red light
Looking in my mirror not a jacker in sight
And everything is alright
I got a beep from kim and she can zach all night
Called up the homies and Im askin yall
Which court, are yall playin basketball?
Get me on the court and Im trouble
Last week zached around and got a triple double
Freaking brothers everyway like m.j.
I cant believe, today was a good day
Drove to the pad and hit the showers
Didnt even get no static from the cowards
Cause just yesterday them fools tried to blast me
Saw the police and they rolled right past me
No flexin, didnt even look in a zachs direction
As I ran the intersection
Went to short dogs house, they was watchin yo mtv raps
Whats the haps on the craps
Shake em up, shake em up, shake em up, shake em
Roll em in a circle of zachs and watch me break em
With the seven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven
Seven even back door joe
I picked up the cash flow
Then we played bones, and Im yellin domino
And now I am yelling dominoes
Plus nobody I know got killed in south central l.a.
Today was a good day
Left my zachs house paid
Picked up a girl been tryin to zach since the twelve grade
Its ironic, I had the brew she had the chronic
The lakers beat the supersonics
I felt on the big fat fanny
Pulled out the jammy, and killed the punanni
And my zach runs deep so deep so deep
Put her [donkey] to sleep
Woke her up around one
She didnt hesitate, to call ice cube the top gun
Drove her to the pad and Im coasting
Took another sip of the potion hit the three-wheel motion
I was glad everything had worked out
Dropped her [donkey] off, then I chirped out
Today was like one of those fly dreams
Didnt even see a berry flashing those high beams
No helicopter looking for a murder
Two in the morning got the fat burger
Even saw the lights of the goodyear blimp
And it read ice cubes a pimp
Drunk as hell but no throwing up
Half way home and my pager still blowing up
Today I didnt even have to use my a.k.
I got to say it was a good day.

Well I know, I miss more than hit
With a face that was launched to sink
An’ I seldom feel, the bright relief
It’s been the Worst Day Since Yesterday
If there’s one thing I have said
Is that the dreams I once had, now lay in bed
As the four winds blow, my wits through the door
It’s been the Worst Day Since Yesterday
Fallin’ down to you sweet ground
Where the flowers they bloom
It’s there I’ll be found
Hurry back to me, my wild Colleen
It’s been the Worst Day Since Yesterday
Though these wounds have seen no wars
Except for the scars I have ignored
And this endless crutch, well it’s never enough
It’s been the Worst Day Since Yesterday
Hell says hello, well it’s time to I should go
To pastures green, that I’ve yet to see
Hurry back to me, my wild Colleen
It’s been the Worst Day Since Yesterday
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."

Yes ....when my son was born for sure
However there was a specific moment. Later that morning, when my wife was resting, I was laying on a couch in the birthing room with my son on my chest and we both fell asleep. I will always remember that time

If ya dump L-Train and start anew that is one thing
But except for jokey account names, it really isn’t nice to trick everyone into thinking you were someone else AND to be around as L-TrainFTW as well.
People like to feel like they are making friends with someone who is actually the person they try to portray themselves as. I think if you were successful in making this alter-ego that was different from the guy we know and acted out in full, it wouldn’t end well. It’s better to snuff it now, even if it sounded fun.
Why ya wanna deceive us, yo?
oh no sir i wasnt keeping l-train. i even quit that account a few days before so that i could just be blazerschamps2010
Don't be sexist. Broads hate that.
You can always switch to that screen name if ya like of course
It’s just better to make it the one ya stick with, whatever ya end up choosing.
I don’t see why you need a new beginning or anything. I don’t see anyone hating you or you burning bridges down or whatever.
i just wanted a fresh start where all my comments were actually worthwhile to read
Don't be sexist. Broads hate that.
Don't be so hard on yourself, silly
You can make a new name if ya likeys, but you like to do random posts and stuff and that’ll return again with a new name.
no i can control the randomness. i just dont really try with l-train since ive already said so many stupid things.

Don't be sexist. Broads hate that.
I don't think people will do that
They’ll judge ya based on what ya say from now on if you stay consistent like ya wanna do.
But if ya feel like ya need a new start, that is fine. Just stick with that name, of course. It also doesn’t hurt to tell the regulars (such as here in the Junk Drawer) to say “yeah, I used to be solly ol’ L-TrainFTW, now I am a new poster who is serious and smokes a pipe and wears glasses named (blank).”
And then just start over and never speak of it again.
lol no im just going to keep l-trainftw. its too confusing to do otherwise

This is a really poor time to mess around with identities, as you
know. I don’t think anyone here dislikes you (except Roybot ;p), every extended family has a few brats but it’s part of their charm. Just be L-Train.

i also never used my accounts to decieve people for long term. i always told everybody that each new screenname was linked to l-train

so basically it was supposed to be a new beginning more than an alter ego
Don't be sexist. Broads hate that.
Perhaps I missed something
It sounded like you wanted to create a secret alter ego that no one would know about and it would be for fun, whilst still being L-TrainFTW.
nope. here is my last comment by l-train:
no but for real i probably wont be on BEdge for a long time if ever again. some big changes are coming up. norsk doesnt have anything to do with it. i just decided to confuse him since im on my way out anyway. it was fun talking to you all. later
Don't be sexist. Broads hate that.
i also planned on telling you guys my name and give personal info like pics that were legit on the new account. i wanted to just start completely new

I saw this comment back when you wrote it
and wondered what was going on because you sounded serious and determined.
I admire you for coming out with all of this. Those who hold you accountable for your past are likely not your real friends. Change is one of the hardest things for all of us to do, and I’m not talking just about the way someone might post here at BE. So anytime anyone tries to make a change I respect that to the utmost. I like both names "L-Train & blazerchamps" but probably favor l-train, and at the same time understand why you might want to change it. I hate blazer1342 (hate may be a little strong) but it’s what I came on board with so I’m sticking with it – just my .02
I think you’d find that we would all like the old L-Train much much more who changed over time and grew with us becoming the L-Train who you want him to be, than this new guy who showed up saying and doing all the right things

UH Announces Actions Following Inappropriate Comments By Coach McMackin
* Coach McMackin will be suspended without pay for 30 days. However, Coach McMackin has agreed to volunteer to coach the team for those 30 days because he doesn’t want the team or the university to be harmed by his mistake.
* In addition, Coach McMackin will be voluntarily participating in the salary reduction at the same level as myself.
* Coach McMackin will personally participate in activities directed at improving the environment for our community through working with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community on campus. Camaron Miyamoto, coordinator for our LGBT services, has discussed with us how we can turn this into a learning experience for the whole campus.
* That will include Coach’s participating in a public service announcement describing how words can hurt, presenting during student orientations, and supporting awareness training for the athletics program.
* Also, a part of the money from his salary reduction will be used by the University to support a student intern for LGBT to assist in conducting campus-wide workshops in awareness training.

I offered to book a flight to Spain and tuck in fanfaraway

And here I just thought she scorned me the whole time.

quadruple duck threat
Pull the ball from the halfback, still have the option to pitch, run, or pass, and sometimes reverse. It was devastating to defenses. And yet some games it was almost not used. But you have to have a QB with impeccable reading and timing skills.

ShamSports has found something "interesting" to watch. The running commentary on Twitter is fun
http://twitter.com/ShamSports/
Why is Mali vs Egypt from the 2007 FIBA Africa Championships on my TV? Dunno. But any time you can watch Soumalia Samake, you have to do it.
Until you’ve watched Mali v Egypt in an empty gym with Sauerkraut acoustics, you’ve never truly realised how beautiful blonde chicks can be.
There are 12 people in the crowd. All of them have whistles. The floor hasn’t been swept since the 70s. Malian basketball: it’s FAAANtastic!
I have absolutely no idea who these people are. Can’t even Google them. The commentator is having the same problem. Lots of dead air.
It’s half time and all the crowd have left, but the whistles continue to sound. Either they play that crap in, or Mali has massive crickets.
A guy just airballed a dunk then ran back like he’d made it. Everyone believed him and the ball was inbounded as usual. Really weird times.

It started out nice, and Hoffman and Portman and Bateman seem to try. But some jokes fall flat, and in the end it seemed like they ran out of ideas. I was like “what, that was it”.

I never was a fan of Michael per say, or maybe better, of what he became. Despite my JD post.
I truly loved his American story of rising to stardom. Loved his music, or most of it. Loved his talent.
I think one of my biggest disappointments not related to his supposed character was his lack of using what he had.
WHAT, you ask. Lionel Richie and Michael combined together to write the "We are the world" song. A song I did not like.
None the less, neither Lionel or Michael could read or write music so needed help in this area ( From Lionel’s own lips).
If I become that great, with all the help in the world at my finger tips, do you think I don’t at least learn the basic elementary principals of music. No way do I ever let this not happen.
Is there anyone here at BE if in Michael or even Lionel’s shoes who doesn’t take the initiative to learn that fundamentals of your art?

It seems like I’ve made fun of you for this before.
Anyway…..
I’m going to scope out the All Sports Park tomorrow at 7pm. There are usually guys playing basketball there on Sundays. We had a bunch of 5v5 games last week and even people waiting to sub in. I won’t guarantee anything, but if you want to play some hoop feel free to drop by

I don’t trust people who DON’T like food. Do you read Michale Pollan? He has an interesting article out this weekend about watching cooking on TV vs. actually making a meal.
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/c/julia_child/index.html?inline=nyt-per
Well that sidelined me for awhile. Great article!
I like the quote he uses as his summation:
“You want Americans to eat less? I have the diet for you. It’s short, and it’s simple. Here’s my diet plan: Cook it yourself. That’s it. Eat anything you want — just as long as you’re willing to cook it yourself."
I used to think that my farm girl mom didn’t teach me how to cook, but finally realized that several years as her sou chef, peeling the potatoes, washing the lettuce and grating the cheese while I watched her make the gravy gave me a really good foundation and philosophy about cooking. She did good, wholesome farm girl cooking and she did it to perfection. Except the vegetables, which were mostly cooked to within an inch of being recognizable.
