It's Not An Obsession, It's A Passion

I've been a Red Sox fan since they won the World Series in 2004, the year I graduated from grad school, and I've always dreamed about getting a piece of that Red Sox history. Just this afternoon I passed by the Akt!v store in Greenbelt and they do sell a lot of New Era caps. Aside from the regular baseball caps, they also sell NBA, Filipino and Muhammad Ali caps, but the one that grabbed my attention was the navy cap with a red 'B' on it, obviously the Red Sox cap. I was able to see the Yankees, Tigers, White Sox, Braves, Dodgers and Phillies (my other favorite team) caps, but I really wanted the Red Sox cap because of my passion of cheering for the men in Fenway. So I churned up all my money and used it just for the cap. Eventually I bought it, but by the time I went home I'm barely emptyhanded. Still it was all worth it.

No wonder why I'm so much loving Boston sports, especially the Celtics and the Red Sox. I may not get any Bruins souvenirs, but the best I could do will be yellow laces on my black sneakers.

As for my savings, I need to get them all back within three weeks. The plan is, I'm not consuming on late afternoon snacks in order to save money. Good luck with my money plans.
