a break in the action

i am sure by now that you are sick of the constant media coverage of my broken arm. espn has devoted itself over the past 24 hours to the event. yes, the reports are correct. i broke it pitching. i threw a fastball and snapped my humerus in mid motion. it might possibly be the case that i throw too hard. it is more likely the case that i should drink more milk. either way, the non-functionality of my right arm makes some things difficult--things like blogging and showering. therefore, i will take a break (yes, a pun) from these things for the next few months as the arm heals. when i return i will give a full report on how i broke my arm (all the things espn hasn't told you) and on how many people i have knocked unconscious with my fragrant aroma.

(for those who haven't quite figured out how to read this blog yet, you can believe about fifty percent of what i write on a good day. thus, when i say i won't shower or blog for a while, half of that is correct. i'll let you figure out which half.)

  1. Whaaat??? Oh no!

    I hope it was a good pitch.

    Just kidding. That's terrible, TJ!

  2. This has nothing to do with your blog, but I need help. Please expound. "Nothing can keep you from victory except defeat." What does this mean?

  3. in my opinion, jeff, it means that only losing can keep you from winning. that is ridiculous. never forget ties, natural disaster, unnatural occurrences, supernatural interferences, and being eaten by a crocodile.

    colin, i really have knowledge of the quality of the fateful pitch. i was distracted by a oddly dangling arm. for all i know i may have broken the batter's leg.
