presidental locker rooms.
by josh on July 19th, 2009
seeing obama mingling with the all-stars this past week, i was reminded of a video i put together for some brewers players back in 2001. it was the opening day of miller park and president bush was there to throw out the 1st pitch.
needless to say….i think their demeanor in the locker room is as far apart as their politics.
obama:
let’s get it on!

went to the LA galaxy game on saturday night with gary and anthony from work. was pretty cool, as i hadn’t been to a game before.
i didn’t take any pics, because i need a new camera…..but anthony managed to get some good shots. here are a few.

tomorrow is my last friday off, and then it’s back to working 5 days a week. how am i gonna spend it? watching baseball and not doing a damn thing!
this week has been long for me. up to my ears in eyewear. which is fine….but it just take a while. so needless to say….i am sick of looking at them for today.
here’s a before and after example of how fabulous i make them look: -clickity-
i know…enthralling, huh?
happy festivus!
by josh on December 23rd, 2008
yes, i am drinking sam adams tonight in celebration of the festivus holiday.
last night i got to watch the packers blow a shoulda been win in the last minutes…..
…..and tonight? the badger basketball team freakin’ blew it in the last minute to texas. wtf is wrong with wisco sports and the premature ejaculation?
anyways, sticking on the festivus and wisco theme….i stumbled across a company that sells festivus poles. best part? they are proudly “made in milwaukee”.
hahaaha……happy festivus!
here’s the company’s webpage…..please support them.
holy tap dancing baby jebus!

ok….once again this is more of a test post than anything. my email subscriptions have barely been working for the last month….so i decided to use a WHOLE new method for delivery. i was using a third party service….but it’s garbage. just say no to feedburner (for the dorks that actually know what i am talking about).
i am hoping the damn thing at least works (it should)….because there are a lot more options to play with. i am not sure how this first update will work, so i apologize in advance if it blows up your email with 200+ posts. otherwise, you should receive an email each time there is a new post. or once a day…if for some reason i post 2or more things on the same day.
…..i have already moved the existing subscribers over, so i don’t think there is any further action required. we’ll see though…as this shit is still new to me.
and if this was a complete waste of your time, well….here’s a sweet video i found about the 1982 brewers:
labor de futbol weekendo.
by josh on September 1st, 2008
so…..the end of summer is officially/unofficially here.
labor day weekend started thursday night for me…as i had off friday too.
which isn’t really that pertinent, cause my friday was spent running errands and cleaning. well, untill the night….where i was waiting for my best bud, AJ, to get into town. he was playing in a soccer tourny at cal-state fullerton this weekend….and instead of dropping a couple hundred bucks on a hotel room for the weekend…..he had my couch.
it was fuckin’ hot on saturday…..almost too hot…..but he managed playing, and i survived watching.
saturday night was spent in downtown fullerton at a wannabe irish pub. i say “wannabe” becuase it was still just a college bar with the same douche bags as anywhere else. it was still cool though. me, AJ, christy, and AJ’s teammate razul (sp?…..sorry, he’s a persian dude) found a table and just chilled and watched the delusional pass by us all night.
was a good time….but me and AJ both drank waaaaaayyyyyy too much by the end of the night. we closed the bar and sunday morning was rough. thank god for coffee. whatever though, hangovers come and go…..but good times are what’s important.
sunday’s soccer game ended in a shootout….and a killer save by a 40+ year old goalie. he was due for a big time save and came up with it when it mattered most. which was totally cool……
sunday we just chilled….watched tv….and well, chilled.
monday….well, it’s still under way. AJ left though….he had a game at 9am against a team from hollywood….and the local team sent them packing……
here’s a picture from the weekend though…..
“you look like trouble.”
by josh on August 18th, 2008
huh?
after the dodger game saturday night we ventured to a little british themed sports bar in santa monica to sip a couple drinks with patty o’ furniture. i had stepped outside to smoke a cigarette, and this bartender lady was holding down the door. carding the new patrons that were entering the establishment.
me, in my typical smartass way….walks up and says, “you wanna see my ID too?”
“you look like trouble!” she says.
WTF?!?!?!??!?!?!
i start laughing and give her a “what the hell does that mean?”
she then insists her comment was suppose to be that of a “good thing”….so i should take it as a compliment. i dunno about that……
trouble. i am an angel, sheesh.
…..but backing up to the dodger game. shit, that was an adventure. seated amongst a crowd of 52,000 people (half of which i swear were pregger chicks and 400 lbs. mexicans)….i was sporting my jj hardy jersey in support of the brewers rolling through town. needless to say, i expected to be given some shit for it. actually though, to my surprise…there were a lot more brewer fans there than i expected.
i mean, some dude came up to me and started chatting in the beer line. apparently he was from london….but had lived in milwaukee for 6 years, so he was there to see the brewers too. cool….so i bought him his beer and nodded with a “cheers”.
but back to my hardy jersey. it was fairly tame….i got the usual “booooo!!!”’s each time i made my way up the stairs. figures too….cause we had 1st row seats on the 2nd deck….so i had to climb the sea of classless shitbag dodger fans each time i got up. but that was fine…..boooo me, like i care.
it wasn’t until the top of the 8th inning when things got a little more interesting. jj hardy hit a 2 run home run to put the brewers on top by a run. of course i stood up and cheered, and of course that pissed everyone off. so like typical dodger pieces of shit….the great fans behind me start throwing shit at me. peanuts and other crap. cause you know…nothing but class in dodger stadium.
well, the dodgers came back to tie it up in the bottom of the 9th….on, of course, an error made by jj hardy. so the shit talking started back up.
however….in the top of the 10th….the brewers regained the lead for good….on….
….AN RBI SINGLE FROM JJ HARDY!!!!!!!
HA! SWEET BLISS!
…at this point i looked to my buddy paul and decided it was a good time to just bolt. so i had to make one last trek up the sea of loser dodger fans to get back to the parking lot. here i was sporting my hardy jersey….and he had just won the game for the brewers. one would think it’d be best to just quietly try and sneak past the crowd right?
OH NO! NOT ME!!!!!
naturally i made that last walk up the stadium stairs with my arms in the air….chanting…
“JJ—HAR-DY!!! JJ—HAR-DY!!! JJ—HAR-DY!!! JJ—HAR-DY!!! JJ—HAR-DY!!! JJ—HAR-DY!!! JJ—HAR-DY!!! JJ—HAR-DY!!! JJ—HAR-DY!!! JJ—HAR-DY!!!”
ha. i am lucky i didn’t get shot, but screw you dodger fans!
so yeah….me=trouble.
