To all my friends and fans,
As you may recall last year, I went through all this horsesh*t about how I wasn’t gonna be a Cubs fan anymore, I wasn’t gonna get emotionally involved, I was going to distance myself, I wasn’t gonna get frustrated, I was gonna watch less games, I wasn’t going to be the sucker Cubs fan who gets their heart broken every year, etc. etc. etc.
Well, I would like to formally apologize for this hideously inappropriate and patently irresponsible attitude. Let me state for the record that when it comes to the Cubs, I am back as an ALL IN, COMPLETELY ON BOARD, 110%, B*LLS TO THE WALL, NO HOLDING BACK, TAKE NO PRISONERS, HANG ON EVERY PITCH, FULLY COMMITTED, “IT’S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG”, WORLD SERIES OR BUST, CUBS FAN!!!!
GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!

You won’t see any more crap like this…
