SBC Park-Home of the San Francisco Giants

I woke up rather early this morning. I’m not sure why. I went to bed fairly late. At any rate, at like 6:30 am this morning, before my alarm was set for, I was wide awake. Its looking yucky out this morning too. Of course, it Marina, it usually does. It could very well turn into a beautiful day.

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I have absolutely nothing of importance to say in this post. I just feel like blogging this morning because I haven’t in a few days. I’m in a rather strange mood today, as I was yesterday. But its somewhat different. Yesterday I was usually happy and upbeat, even when I shouldn’t have been probably. And I was happy about the fact that I was in a good mood and was feeling good, even though I shouldn’t have been. Today, I’m not feeling as upbeat so much as just a feeling of contentment. Its like, “this is my reality and i’m okay with that.” I’m sometimes a fairly content person, but today is just eerily different. And a little scary for me. I don’t know if its that I’m actually okay with life as it is, or if I’m just not dealing with life as it is. Not that there is even anything to really deal with. Like I said, things are good. I’m content and happy. I’m just feeling mellow today. Thats it. It just now hit me as I hear my roomate playing the Garden State soundtrack in the background. Its a really mellow soundtrack. It’s really good, just not the “make you want to get up and dance” kind of music.

So yeah, theme for today: Mellow Yellow

So, it’s almost 3am (yeah, I know what you’re thinking Jeff). Anyway, I’m a bit freaked out right now. I’ve been wide awake for a couple hours now, ever since Sam the cat woke me up by knocking something in the living room over.

So, about 20 or so minutes ago, I roll over and kick Sam. He gets up, stands on the bed for a while instead of laying back down. He looks like he sees something out the window, but I think nothing of it…until a few minutes later I see a shadow or someone go past my window. No, I wasn’t half asleep. I’m definitely wide awake, and someone or something definitely went past the window. Sam is definitely watching it.

I lay in bed a bit longer, listening to see if anyone comes to the door (hoping perhaps is the next door neighbor), but all the while, planning my “grab the cell phone, hide in the shower.” But luckily I don’t hear anything else. So I lay there about 10 minutes, wishing I had a baseball bat (or something along the lines). Finally I get up cause I’m definitely not going to be able to sleep now. I look out the window of the living room, and I see some random guy out walking his dog. First I was relieved, but then I realized the shadow I saw had to be someone at least in my yard, if not near the window. This guy was coming the opposite direction on the other side of the street. But who the heck walks their friggin’ dog at 3 AM! So then this guy, crosses the street to my side, goes INTO my neighbors yard, steals one of their newspapers (they always have like 5 there), meddles around for a while, and then continues his walk.

Ok, so best case scenario, this crazy 3AM dog walking guy decided to take a trek through our yard, and then cross the street and come back up the other way, stealing the paper while he was at it. Worst case scenario, this crazy 3 AM dog walking guy (or someone else) is a huge freak and was outside my window for who knows WHAT reason!

Not feeling so safe to go to sleep right now, which sucks cause I have an extremely busy day tomorrow. I guess I’ll go make sure the doors are double locked, find a blunt weapon and try to get some sleep.

ADDITION 9:05 am: Of course, after I went to bed, I dreamt about people getting murdered here at work…haha. Not people from work, just happened here.

I went Tuesday night to a Giants baseball game with my friends Sarah and Kris. It was a lot of fun. It was perfect weather for a night game. It never even got chilly, which is saying a lot being on right on the bay. Oh, and the Giants beat the Dodgers, so that made it all the better, the reason we went even. It was a good game, not boring, not a blow out. Just a well played game. Giants pitcher Jason Schmidt even hit a homerun!

Some pictures of our adventure are posted here.
