GOBAMA

I can't believe it.

Hope

Please go out and vote today. And remember to vote for change.

GObama

Just realized that I had posted once a month for the last couple of months and thought I would break the monotony.

So Obama is up in the polls in NC which is huge. I voted on Tuesday and I actually felt like my vote mattered for once.

White Supremacists support obama

This is just amazing. They polled 4 white supremacist and one black one and 3 of 4 white supremacists all support Obama while the black guy supports McCain. Pretty interesting.

Heard about this last night....why you stay inside during a hurricane

R.I.P. Skip

Skip Caray is my all time favorite broadcaster. I remember coming home from school and listening to him at night on TBS. I didn't get to listen to him as much when I was in college but since I got XM I was always excited to hear him when the Braves had a home game. Even though this year has been tough, its still easy to listen to when he is talking. Today is definitely a sad day.

Click here to listen to one of my favorite calls he has made.

Am I Crazy?

So Ashley and I were at a wedding in Georgia and we were talking to some friends and I mentioned that I take my dog running a few times a week. After this they started saying how I should enter races so I could be motivated for something. They said how they ran a half marathon and I was thinking how crazy that was. I do more thinking about it and I decide that I would like to try it. I talk to one of my friends who is in PT school and he send me a link for a half marathon in November in Raleigh and he also sent me a training program. So I think my Dad and I are going to train and run together in the half marathon in Raleigh. Crazy?

Movie Reviews

Go Pack

NC State is headed to the Super Regionals for the first time since 2003. They hosted a regional for the first time ever at Doak Field and won 3 very close games. It makes me proud to have graduated from N.C. State. GO PACK

Untraceable etc.

Saw this movie last night with Ashley. When we were at blockbuster I decided to watch something that I wouldn't have to think and I knew wouldn't make the top 10. So I picked this one and it was just an o.k. movie with an expected Law and Order S.V.U type plot. I give it a 1 out of 5.


On another note. Braves had a great homestand and rocked Brandon Webb today scoring 7 runs with 4 of them earned. The six game road trip coming up is a big one. They play two sub .500 teams in the Brewers and the Reds. They have to take 4 of 6 for them to even gain some sort of legitimacy in the N.L. You have to win on the road to win this division.

Another random thought; when is the Marlins young staff going to stop pithing so well. They blow out the Mets tonight and we'll see if they handle Johan Santana tomorrow.

Changing subjects again. Today was the first day in 6 days I didn't work out. I'm pretty proud of that. I'm trying to work out 5 days a week this summer and lose 20 lbs. So far, only 3 lbs lost so I'm pretty pumped about that.

Alright no more random thoughts.

August Rush

This movie was great. The music was amazing and I really loved the story. Three of songs were nominated for best original score at the academy awards.



I give it a 4 out of 5

What happens in Vegas

I saw this movie this weekend with Ashley. I thought it was ok for a chick flick. I wanted to go see Iron Man but I played the part of the good fiance and took one for the team. It doesn't make the top 10 of the year.

Braves and politcs

The braves open up a four game series with the Mets this week. I'm really looking forward to the night cap on the day-night double header tonight. Jorge Campillo is pitching and he has been a stud out of the pen all year and I'm wondering how he'll do for 5 or 6 or hopefully 7 innings.

Today is also a big day in the democratic primary. Barack Obama should gain a majority of the pledged delegates tonight. This would be a huge deal because then the superdelegates should have no excuse to not put Obama over the top. The longer Clinton stays in the race, the worse it hurts the party and if she gets nominated, I'm definitely not voting for her in November.

West Virginians

This video is unbelievable.

I honestly can't believe that people in this country today can think and feel this way.

This day in history

1 yr ago today. Roger Clemens come back for the Yankees for a huge amount of money. Take a listen to Susan Waldman with probably the worst call ever in baseball. "The most dramatic thing I've eva seen in Yankee Stadium!!!"

The bottom video was ten years ago today when Kerry Wood pitched a 1 hitter and tied the major league record with 20 strikeouts in a game. When I was 13 I used to come home everyday and watch the cubs and be serenaded by Harry Carey. I thought this guy was going to be in the Hall of Fame. He was unbelievable. I never thought he would be so injury prone throughout his career.

New Goals

My goal is to update more. To add more things about the Braves who are the reason I exist during the summer and add more about my quest to lose 20 lbs this summer. When I graduated college I was 215 lbs. I am now at 180. So I would love to get down to 160 and I am going to do this by running at least 4 times a week and trying not to eat out so much.

I made a B+ in my stats class. wooooooo. This is great news.

Braves are off today so I'll start tomorrow.

This is hilarious

Gone Baby Gone

This movie was a tough one for me to rate. It seemed to start off slow and end about an hour before it actually did. I really liked how the movie left a choice for me at the end and it lingered on for several minutes.



I rate it a 2.5/5

American Gangster

For some reason, I really like movies that are "based on a true story." I like watching the movie, and then going online and searching for them and reading all about the main character. If you like doing this too, American Gangster is a good start. This movie is very close to being true and there are plenty of interviews online from the stars of the movie and the actual characters. I think there were just too many good movies out this year for this to be nominated for best picture but I think it should gotten the nod over Atonement. Although that would have been four epic movies and a comedy and I guess the Academy needed a love story to throw in there. Denzel Washington is great as always and Russel Crowe's character is slightly boring but Denzel definitely makes up for it.




Overall, I liked this movie better than "Into the Wild" and "Michael Clayton." I give this movie a 4 out of 5.

Into the Wild

I saw Into the Wild last night at the 1.50 movie theater on Blue Ridge. I liked it. It was two and a half hours so it dragged on a bit. Hal Holbrook who plays a friend of the main character in the movie was nominated for best supporting and I thought he was pretty good. Still not as good as Javier Bardem who won it. Here is the trailer for the movie:



I rate this movie a 3.5/5

Death at a Funeral

I think I am going start rating movies now. I will rate movies on a scale of 1-5 5 being the best. For example I give "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" both 5s and "Vantage Point" a 0.5.


So Ashley and I just watched "Death at a Funeral" and I have to say, it was one of the funniest movies I've seen in awhile. It starts out kind of slow but it ends up being hilarious. I give this a 3.5. Here is the trailer. Go rent it.

Debate and stuff

So after the debate last night, I've realized that Hillary is in dire straits. She is really starting to blame a lot of things on Obama and its getting annoying. I'm really hoping that he can somehow keep it close in Ohio and possibly win Texas.

I still think this is hilarious.





I'm going to the FSU-State game tonight and I'm really not expecting very much. I really hate this team for some reason. I think it's because I had such high hopes for them and they keep letting me down. Oh well, theres always next season.

First post

This will be a blog that I basically give links or interesting things that I find while I'm doing nothing throughout the day.
