RBIs Hormones

So this is pretty much becoming a common theme for me.

I feel really bad for Ryan Braun.  I find it absolutely hilarious that our government allows growth hormone pumped into our foods, but God forbid the league have a guy use it to increase his playing skills.  Heck, maybe Ryan Braun just ate a steak that was full of hormones - thanks FDA for saying it has "no significant" effect on our bodies.  It's completely ok for the population to drink synthetic estrogen from our waterbottles and from the tap (since synthetic estrogen never breaks down) and we can eat it in our food, but Lord forbid you take it with a purpose. I'm not saying he did or he didn't or condoning drug alterations to your body for sports prowess; I just don't get the double standard! 

I read the big article in Sports Illustrated today about him getting off on a technicality.  PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH BIGGER CRIMES THAN TAKING DRUGS (i.e. MURDER) ON A TECHNICALITY!!!!!!!!!!!  People need to get over it and "the grey area" - his sample didn't follow procedure and it should have been thrown out anyway.  I defend his right to keep his reasons to himself - this is America, you can say what you want when you want, or you can keep your mouth shut.  Hell, what if Ryan is actually a transgender girl taking testosterone to make her a man - doctors give it to people going through sex changes all the time.  It could happen and I have a feeling we may be running into more and more of that down the line - more and more people are freely choosing which gender they want to be identified by and is the league going to ban transgender players because they have been taking testosterone supplements?!?

In the end, I say: You go Ryan Braun!  I'll still be in the stands cheering for you and all the other Brewers! Congrats on overturning the results and your 50 game suspension.

Whirlwind Storms and R.B.I.s

I am so tired tonight and my mind after several days of training has my brain on empty. My brain is exhausted! Learning all the steps of my new job, learning names, and then coming home to help with the cooking and sewing! I suck at sewing and I have been helping lately. It's probably a good thing I only had to help sew the straps and then turn them right side out. I am too tired to write about some of the ideas I have pinging around my head. I'm too tired for proper sentences to be formed, let alone some sort of discussion or argument coming across in a proper manner.



My bed is calling despite the piles I need to go through and clean up: piles of papers, piles of clothes to be put away, blankets to be refolded, piles of papers to be read. I am ready for my mind to have a break and simply listen to the wonderfulness of Gilbert Blythe. "It's a nice story-book image."

I am also currently annoying my rather by calling Ryan Braun: "J.J." cuz a while back J.J. Hardy was the heart throb of Milwaukee Brewers baseball. I've now taken to calling him: "R.B. Eyes" - hahahaha! He can't help it that he's got bug eyes - he's not quite like my brother's Boston terrier and he's not deformed...they just are very prominent. I love the play on words - he does have a ton of RBIs (Runners Batted In) this year and it works with his initials and looks. I am surprised no sports caster or announcer has come up with that nickname yet.



It's horribly hilarious that just as I was about to post this, the power went out. I had to get candles for my dad and I who were in the pitch black basement. It was unsure if the power would come back on at all and I am going to finish here quickly so I don't lose everything all over again.
