Ryno
I'm a White Sox fan, but I can still appreciate a good baseball player...even if he played for the Cubs. This past tuesday, the Chicago Revolution had a 2 hour autograph signing session with Ryne Sandberg. He was there at our site, right across from Wrigley Field, signing pictures that we provided. No one was allowed to get anything but that picture signed. Seriously. The rule stuck through out those 2 hours. But, thanks to our cool bosses, they arranged it so Ryno could sign some of our stuff after he was done. After the 2 hours, he slipped into our Suburban and then me and the other 12 Chicago Revolution members brought him our jerseys, hats and balls to sign. Since I'm not big on collecting autographs, I looked for Pam (She ducked out from her Managerial duties at PrimeWines.com to get a glimpse of Ryno and she hoped that he would sign her Hall of Fame Baseball). Well, I had that ball signed for her. It was a nice looking baseball. And I got a nice looking picture with Ryne Sandberg in return.
Heeyyy! I'm BLOGIN' HERE!!
So my younger brother, Charlie, transfered from the laid back lifestyle of Hawaii Pacific University to the fast paced world of New York University. You know what that means!? Family trip to New York! [cue New York song by Frank Sinatra] Man o Man, I tell you, freakin' Nue Yorq. Pretty much everything I ever heard about it is true: 1) It's a Concrete Jungle (buildings and buildings every where!). 2)Rats! (We had a nice breakfast experience where, after seeing a rat scurry across the floor, my Mom, shrieked and jumped up on her chair to avoid the rat...it was quite a sight) 3)Fast and impatient. (They want everything now...but sometimes they want it 5min ago) 4)Unique. (Where else can you hear 5 different languages in the span of a block!?)
Overall, I like New York, it's kinda cool how it's a big Island just full of buildings and neighborhoods. But, Chicago is still cooler.
