Champions of the World

Tonight the San Francisco Giants won the World Series. CHHAAAA OOOOO!!!

So the truth is, I am a sports fan. And when it comes to baseball, which i played (well softball) through middle school and high school, i'm a San Francisco GIANTS fan. And tonight, my boys won the world series. No one around me really cares, and those that do, supported the Texas Rangers (eat it, Bush!). but i love the giants, have for years, and it's been a joy to see them take it home this season, finally, after loosing most recently in 2002, after everyone in the US hated on the team b/c of Barry Bonds (SF loves u Barry), and especially, since this was not a team of all-star players. It was a team of misfits, outcasts and overlooked players, who rallied together, kept their egos under control, had impeccable timing, good coaching, the BEST FANS EVER, and were maybe even helped out a little bit by the Sunah of the beard. ;)

Plus, Texas vs. San Francisco, I'm sure you can figure out the underlying social significance and political dynamics to this world series (eat it, Bush!). The Afghans kinda appreciate the victory when I explain that GWB owned the Rangers...

This picture was taken on Mission and 22nd st, three blocks away from my old apartment. so i know If i was back home in San Francisco, it would have been a night full of memories. But it's all good. I'm sitting at my desk in Kabul, having a little party all in my heart and mind....who am i kidding, i really really wish i was home right now.


Thank you, San Francisco Giants, for taking it all the way for us tonight...

...and keepin it SUKA FREE for the SFC, even if we do get a lil too hyphy sometimes (think i actually recognize people in this last vid!)
