Streaking Losers

March 1, 2008

This is the first post to my blog. Nothing astounding, mind you. Just a beginning.

I have a Fantasy Baseball team named the Streaking Losers. They are called this because last season, despite having a pretty-good team, I lost most of my games. I was one of the highest scoring teams in the league, but it seemed that every time I played another team they were the highest scorer for the week. In the end I lost 21 out of 26 games. It was a record setting worst season by a team with such a high score. I mention this because it is a good example of how unlucky I can be. I believe that I have a negative charge or something about me that makes me unlucky. Some day in the future geeky scientists in white lab coats will discover the quality that makes some people win every prize drawing they enter while others get stopped at every red light. It will explain all of the unexplainable unluckinesses that befall me on a daily basis. Then AOL will sell little devices that hook onto your belt or load into a chip in your arm and alter each person’s luck factor. I know this will happen. Of course it will probably happen the day after I die. That’s my luck.

Anyway, I have kept the name out of sheer laziness and this year I am finally winning games. Last week I was the high scorer for the week (which means I won money). This doesn’t mean that I have suddenly become lucky. It just means that my bad luck has moved to some other arena of my life. Any day now I’ll let you know where it is.
