As a young girl I loved baseball..as a matter of fact..I wore a Phillies baseball cap and watched the game with my biological father..When Ritchie Allen was up to bat.. I would jump up and cross my fingers, stand by the t.v. and repeat over and over again..."Ritchie Allen hit a home run!"  Sometimes it worked...and as a kid..it was magic..when he hit the ball over the fence..I did it...I wished it and I really believed that.

While I never wore a game jersey or t-shirt..one thing I have to admit..we really tried to watch every game because if we didn't and they lost....automatically I would be the blame...after all I wouldn't be able to wish Ritchie Allen to hit a home run.  That was my child mind and the best memory I have with my biological father.

Today things are not that different I do have a few rituals but I haven't stood next to a t.v. and wished anything..because I have a different type of love...with my computer and more importantly blogging.

I can't say that I wear a game t-shirt but there is a ritual I have when I write a post..before I start anything..I look to my sidebar..and watch my geovisite globe go around with little neon lights that represents people reading my blog..for me it brings a warm fuzzy feeling...knowing its visible that I have visitors on my blog..and they have either read or are reading my blog as I write. 

I usually twitter my blog posts..and love to watch the the globe light up..by watching that alone..I can determine if my title is catchy enough...

I miss my globe...

The globe reminds me why I write...it inspires me...to inspire others....to write..the best words inside me...I write more..the more readers that read...I even gauge blogging goals based on those lights..That globe means a lot to me....My globe is my game day t-shirt to my blog..and its been down for a few days...not sure if its an approved widget..

but I get the feeling its gone! gone! gone!

I had a hard time the very first day without it..I felt naked..and vulnerable and blogging didn't mean the same..as a matter of fact..these blog posts get harder to pump out..but since I miss my geoglobe so much..you got another post out of me. 

Today it seems a bit easier but I must admit..I feel like I am missing something..as silly as it sounds..I miss my geoglobe..my game day Widget and Ritual! I did manage to place the map on my sidebar..but I can tell you its not the same!

How about you?  Do you have a ritual, jersey or t-shirt that you wear on game day? And if so..how would you feel if someone spilled black ink or burned a hole in your game day..Jersey or T-Shirt?
