I seriously think we have been put on this earth to make our own self happy. Tonight is a prime example of this. I landed and arrived to my hotel by 4pm. I could have easily just went to my hotel and hibernated, but I decided to venture to downtown Denver. I typed in attractions into the trusty-ole GPS and came up with a winery in the downtown district. Who knew it was a specialty "wine store" aka a liquor store! Story of my life, but everything happens for a reason. I parked in the lot on Blake St. and started walking amongst the random crowds of people. Who knew Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies was one mile up to my right. I went to the ticket booth and asked for the cheapest ticket. "Four dollars to sit in the Rat-Pack" the kind gentleman stated. I couldn't pass up this offer. I ended up going into the baseball game by myself and having the time of my life. I wandered around the entire field, which was one of the nicest parks I have been to. I mean it's no Fenway Park, but I'm not biased or anything. I had a couple of Blue Moons, became best buds with a 76yr old usher named Stanley, who hooked me up with front row seats on the 1st-base line, and became a Rockies fan for the night. I mean come on people, it was root for the Rockies or the Mets?...it's a no-brainer, right, Dad? I used to be that person that was nervous to be anywhere by myself, and I felt as though maybe everyone was watching me or judging me. I focused all my attention on everyone around me and cared more about everyone else being happy in order for me to be happy. But I have come to the realization that by doing this I was letting life pass me by. So I am taking life by the horns and living for ME for the first time in my life.
