Here I Am

Happy Birthday miss_anya!!!

I hope it's a fabulous day, darling. I run a bit behind on ficlets, but feel free to give me a prompt/character/pairing and I'll write one for you.

So many eons ago as a Phillies' fan, I used to be madly in love with Darren Daulton, the catcher.

And since, I have become more in love with him for his special brand of crazy. Because I'm mean, I find his insanity loveable and ohmygod, I cannot wait for his book to come out next month.

If you're thinking it's because of my love of baseball, I must direct you to one of these numerous quotes from his website:

"In If They Only Knew Darren will delve into issues of ascension such as dimensions and levels of consciousness, the Mayan Calendar and December 21, 2012, creating one's own reality and a lot more. The book's message is clear: Open your mind to new ideas and know that there is more to our life than only what we can see, feel and touch! "

Dude, my favorite is still the interviews he's done recently where he said things like, "Well, of course I've time traveled." Just INSANE. And I *LOVE* it.

Oh and I can't forget the Sports Illustrated Interview from 2006.

"At 44, Daulton is not nearly the same guy he was at 24 or even 34. "I didn't have my first out-of-body experience until I was 35," he says. Curiously, the epiphany occurred at one of baseball's holiest shrines -- Wrigley Field. "I hit a line-drive just inside the third base line to help win a game," he recalls. "The strange thing was I didn't hit that ball. I never hit balls inside the third base line!"

Seriously, even if you're not a Phillies or baseball fan, check this stuff out. Oh, the crazy, it burns. This is my favorite meltdown since Tom Cruise went all batshit insane.

Also crazy? Color Me Badd dude on Mission: Manband. He's going crazy and we're only two episodes in. And how sad is it when of the four of them, the music producer thought Rich from LFO's lyrics were the best? Oh dear.

Crack! I love it.
