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.
