"They're trying to goad me, trying to own me. But this isn't a gunfight. It's not about pride or ego. It's only about money. I can leave now, even with Grama and KGB... and halfway to paying Petrovsky back. That's the safe play. I told Worm you can't lose what you don't put in the middle. But you can't win much either." - Mike McDermott (Rounders)
well, today is the day where the rubber meets the road.
this is week 9. i have 2 more classes with her, tuesday (this morning) and thursday. after that, i might not ever see/talk to her ever again. so i'm basically going to just press this situation like i'm running hot at blackjack. and the whole situation runs on the premise that i had nothing invested, and nothing to lose at the start (except my pride). i've overcome my fear of putting myself out there already so i wanna take this (as reid would say) next level.

i'm going to ask her out on a date. (oh whattt??)
hahaha the crazy thing one of my friends was mentioning was that i dont have her number. now this is true, but i haven't even known her a week. am i supposed to have her number by now? maybe. but that isn't really stopping much at this point...i figure i ask her out and if she says no, i don't have to deal with having an awkward person to delete on my phone and vice versa. it was an interesting experience, well worth the story and it's just done. one more class to sit through and that's that.
however, i ask her out and she says yes, her number is then a byproduct (kinda like informercials with the whole "act now and you'll get her number as well") and i get to hang out with her this weekend. so if providence does take me this way...
This weekend is memorial day weekend and it just so happens that the Angels have a home stand this time of year. the date would be (ideally) an Angels game. the mariners are in town and each game would have a great matchup. friday night is kazmir vs lee with big bang fireworks after (awesome). saturday is weaver vs snell (this for sure should be a win and thus the best game to go to, also an afternoon game) and sunday afternoon (felix vs tbh). i'm thinking friday would be awesome with fireworks, but probably low scoring. so saturday is looking like the best overall time. i'm thinking i'm going to drive my accord, just to put my other test to theory.
i talked to k. dong, jd.guzman, and m. chen about this. k dong said go for it while the other two warned me to pull the plug. this is way too strong they say. M.chen: predicts that i have a 15% chance of it working (way low IMO). Jd.Guzman: predicts that i have less than 50% chance. i give myself a realistic 33% chance. however, in my mind, i'm 100% to succeed. it's kinda like i'm riding the rush, playing in the moment, and being myself all at the same time.
reason for the title:
when i was growing up going to Angels games, there used to be this guy who was the biggest Angel fan. super diehard guy who was older. his name was Frank. this dude was a boss who was decked out in OG Angel windbeakers to a hat covered in any possible celebration pin the organization has had. anyways, every time jim edmonds or tim salmon would come up to bat. he'd start yelling at them saying fireworks jimmy or fireworks timmy. for those that dont know, if a player hits a home run at The Big A, they shoot off fireworks. and pretty much, it wouldn't happen super often, but it was always awesome when it did. :D who knows what'll happen with this whole ordeal...but just like tim salmon getting behind in a count, i'm pulling the trigger on the next pitch.
Fireworks JT, fireworks!
LETS GO!!!
