Thanksgiving (part 4)

For Thanksgiving, me and Joyce got invited to the home of the Parrots’ catcher, Adam. He and his husband Allan had a big dinner with ten guests invited. Besides me and Joyce, there was a gay latino couple (they had totally non-gay jobs: a sportswriter and Home Depot manager), a scaryass lesbian, two pity invites, … Continue reading Thanksgiving (part 4) →

Thanksgiving (part 3)

For Thanksgiving dinner, Joyce and I were invited to the home of Adam, the Parrots’ catcher, and his husband, Allan. The guests when we got there were two pity invites and two married latino dudes, Raul and Esteban. They were cool. Esteban even has a bilingual sportstalk radio show. The next guest to arrive was … Continue reading Thanksgiving (part 3) →

Thanksgiving (part 2)

So I was fixin to tell y’all about my turkey bowl experience this year on Thanksgiving, and got all caught up telling you about last year and the total jerkoff who tackled me when he shouldn’t have and how I got him back with a Block block that should have settled things between us. The … Continue reading Thanksgiving (part 2) →

Thanksgiving (part 1)

The first thing I ought to say about my 2018 Thanksgiving is that it was better than the one in 2017. No dealing with Monica and her crazyass family. I have Joyce for a girlfriend now. Joyce’s family is back in New England, so she’s like me: we’re away from our families for Thanksgiving. She … Continue reading Thanksgiving (part 1) →

Thanksgiving Back Home

Thanksgiving when your family is on the other side of the country just plain sucks. This year is my second Thanksgiving in LA, and I know it’s not going to be like a Block Thanksgiving. But I reckon that came with the choice I made in moving away from home. Since I need to be … Continue reading Thanksgiving Back Home →

My Birthday (last part)

For my birthday last week, Joyce gave me an amazing present – a necklace just like the one Cody Bellinger wears under his jersey. She also took me out to an awesome steakhouse, decorated the house in a baseball birthday theme, and got me a Dodgers ice cream cake with 26 candles. She also had … Continue reading My Birthday (last part) →

My Birthday (part 2)

To celebrate my 26th birthday last week (it's November 8...make a note for next year lol), Joyce took me out for a great steak dinner. Then we went back to her house, where there were baseball decorations and a Dodgers ice cream cake – which was dope. She’d been acting nervous since we got back … Continue reading My Birthday (part 2) →

My Birthday (part 1)

So I had a great 26th birthday. It even lasted two days. Maybe it wasn’t a Block birthday like when I was growing up, but it proved that California birthdays can be pretty awesome too. (And, no matter what Keaton says, it wasn't gay lol.) The day began with a call from Mom...a little earlier … Continue reading My Birthday (part 1) →

Tomorrow’s My Birthday!

So Keaton and I met at the Dog Haus tonight, when I was done working and he was going to start, and I was telling him about Joyce’s haunted house over chili cheese tater tots and bacon wrapped hot dogs. (My favorite is the Cowboy. Keaton usually gets the Downtown.) Of course Keaton refused to … Continue reading Tomorrow’s My Birthday! →

Halloween (last part)

For Halloween, Joyce set up a haunted house in her house. I had no idea she was even doing it, so I didn’t know what to expect when I opened the door. Y’all really need to read the first part of this post. That’s where I got scared out of my mind. I next found … Continue reading Halloween (last part) →
