Girl of my Dreams
If you're like me there is one group of things that I like more than anything, if you read my blog you know that one thing is Boston sports. Now I have been compared to Jimmy Fallon's character in Fever Pitch on many occasions mostly by my girlfriend Jess. Yes it is true Boston Joe is no longer available and he does have a girlfriend and to prevent any comparisons to the Sport's Guy, Bill Simmons I am not calling her the New Hampshire Sports Gal, Girl or anything. Her name is Jess and that’s what I am going to call her. But anyway I am pretty close to Mr. Fallon's character except one aspect; if it came down to me picking between a girl and my beloved Red Sox I would choose the girl. What can I say I'm a romantic, and plus I would never become interested in a girl that didn't like the Red Sox and if I did I would hope my friends, family, and dog would step in and say Joe what’s up with this chick?
So what does it take for a girl to get Boston Joe away from the TV at 7 pm on a summer night? Well, she would have to be a master of the art of compromise, which means she can pull me away from a Red Sox game when they're playing the Devil Rays or another team in what I like to call the Minor Leagues of the Majors. As long as she promises when they are playing the Yankees or any other game that could seriously affect the Red Sox playoff hopes I can sit and enjoy the game. Since I live in NH during most of Baseball season I don't see me and Jess having major problems with this.
I can answer questions and it doesn't annoy me the way it seems to bother my dad when my mom asks countless questions during any sporting event. Though my dad has been married to my mom for almost 26 years so I think if I had to deal with questions for 26 years I'd get annoyed too. But I look at the questions as the girl’s way of trying to show me she’s somewhat interested with what is going on. The way I see it if a girl is interested then I'm interested. As for Jess, she is on the record saying that she wants to learn how to be a Red Sox fan. She is even developing a gagging reaction anytime she sees a New York Yankees symbol. So far I've taught her well.
As for last night she was at a party where Yankee fans were everywhere and she was the only Red Sox fan and she stood up for the Red Sox 100%. So Jess very well might be the girl of my dreams. All I do know is every time I look at her I get the same Goosebumps I got when David Ortiz hit the walk off home run in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS, or when I see Keith Foulke underhanded the ball to Doug Mientkiewicz to win the 2004 World Series, if you ask me that’s pretty special.

This post was hilarious and I am confident that if your dog could type he would say the samething. Keep up the good work.
