how to neglect a blog

one might ask himself, why would you neglect your own blog? especially one, much like this one, that is really only meant for one person (that person being me) and one that, thanks to blogspot, is so criminally easy to maintain. well, that's a pretty hard question. lots of excuses come to mind. too much reading (i've been reading a lot of books)...too much movie-going (ditto on that one. i've seen everything AND highly recommend Once)...too much going out/staying in and drinking (which, shamefully & regrettably, goes without saying). yeah, lots of excuses. so, sorry, me. i'll try to be better. which leads me to:

boy, won't it be a real shame if & when the red hook ballfields (or, as i overheard a girl charmingly call it/them when i was leaving the pool on saturday, "soccer tacos") close forever? i just don't know how to process that. the vendors seem to have more business than ever. on saturday, i walked right up & got a pupusa. 15 minutes later, there were 45 minute long lines for every vendor, including the confusing Guatemala booth. Sunday, the lines were like that all day. the quality of the food is top notch, and most of the vendors have suddenly provided helpful signs as to how to structure a line and what they sell. it seems like the whole thing is really coming together, becoming not so much a service for displaced & hungry latinos & soccer fans, but for anyone who has an appetite & appreciates quality food for an affordable price (or a refreshing fruit beverage after a hot day by the pool. recently, i've discovered this service that "soccer tacos" has been providing for me. how have i been so blind?).

it seems like in a city that throws so many fastballs & nasty, barry zito-esque curveballs at it citizens on a minute by minute basis, don't folks in brooklyn & the surrounding boroughs deserve just a couple of pitches thrown by the batting practice pitcher guy? or better yet, just laid there on the tee, just waiting to be clobbered? i really think so. ok, blog updated, albeit boringly & not especially verbosely, but updated all the same. stay tuned, though, for the benefits of the Zombie Hut & Why i am an inadequate blogger when compared to Tyson Meade.
