Something from my noodle

Jason Bourne may never stop running!

2007-08-07T19:25:00.000-07:00

Last night I saw "The Bourne Ultimatum" staring Matt Damon.
Here's is my review of "The Bourne Ultimatum"

I thought Bourne Ulitimatum had a good story. It is full of action and is a good 3rd movie to the trilogy.
My negative parts to the movie are stronger than postive notes.

The beginning of the movie was slow. Not much going on in the beginning except a lot of scrambled memories of Jason Bourne.

The other thing I didn't care for was the camera in the movie.
In the action scenes the camera was all over the place.
You really couldn't tell what was going on in any of the action scenes. The crazy camera made it hard to concentrate or to know what was happening.

Overall I feel that you don't have to see this movie in the theatre. You can wait for it on DVD.
The Bourne Identity was a great movie.
I feel that there never had to be a sequal to Bourne Identity.
If your a Bourne Fan then I recommend seeing it.

I give "The Bourne Ultimatum 3 out of 5 Stars.

I got kicked by The Shins!

2007-02-11T09:09:00.000-08:00

On February 9, 2007, I went to the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee to see The Shins. I went with my best friend and his girlfriend and his sister. We got there early so we could get a good spot like i always try to do. We were right in front. Poor people who tried to see behind me. I need to take advantage of my height whenever I can.
At the last 3 concerts I've been too, I've been hit on by gay men. So my friend before the concert said that it would be funny if it happened again. So while we're waiting, some random guy(named Victor) came up to me and asked how i was doing. I said good, and you? He said I look like Tony Robbins,who is a famous motivational speaker.

Victor said then said that I speak with a lot of confidence and I was a nice guy. Part of me was thinking, here we go again,haha. Here my friends are laughing cause they think that he is hitting on me and i'm just being nice like I always am. So he then says he got to meet the band and he got their autograph. I said Congrats and then he's says, "You seem like a nice guy and your probably a bigger fan so here's their autograph". I told him, I would feel bad accepting it and then he said "No problem, not the biggest Shin fan". So I got The Shins autograph from him. I offered him to hang out cause I thought he was by himself, but he said he was with a friend. Thanks Victor for the autographed poster of The Shins.
After the concert, a local radio station (FM 102/1 Independent/Alternative Radio) was handing out little cards for The Kooks (a band from England that I'm a fan of). They said, "The Kooks are coming. Don't know if they meant Chicago or Milwaukee. Hopefully Milwaukee cause I would love to see them live in Milwaukee instead of seeing them in Chicago.

Marquette needs to dig deeper in their wallets and pull out a jumpshot

2006-12-10T07:36:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I was disappointed to see the Marquette Golden Eagles lose to in state rival Wisconsin Badgers 70-66. Marquette had a hard time stopping Alando Tucker. Tucker finished with 28 points and 5 rebounds. I felt that if Marquette could stop Alando Tucker, they could beat the Badgers. I was really disappointed in the poor outside shooting by Marquette. Marquette only went 3-18 from 3 point land. Marquette only shot 39% from the field. I have to give credit to the Badgers defense. They didn't really allow Marquette to have a lot of open and easy shots. I was also disappointed in the performance of future NBA player for Marquette, Dominic James.
Dominic James was 2-7 for 3 point land, can't really count 1 of those 3 pointers because it was a last second effort to make the score closer.
Being at the game was a great experience. I love the energy of a sold out home Marquette game. I did unfortunatley hear Wisconsin Badger chants as well.

Props to a certain Badger fan who was pimped out in his Badger pimp suit.
As far as for my other Marquette friend. I guess we'll have to wait till next year or the NCAA tournament.

It's a big world!

2006-12-01T18:29:00.000-08:00

This is something from the heart.
Around October, I was checking my myspace and I saw a friend request from a girl named Faye from Birmingham, England. If you are a myspace user, you are probably like me who is used to what I call "Fembots" on myspace. "Fembots" are those fake girls and women who advertise their webcamera's, website's, and other stuff. These "Fembots" ask to be your friend on myspace and I usually deny their request.
Anyway, I looked at her profile and it seemed that it was a real person who sent the request, not a "Fembot" so I decided to add her as a friend and add a comment to her page basically saying,
Thankyou for the add, hope everything is well, take care.
About 3 weeks later, she sent me a message saying hello and asking how i was doing?
After that we were sending myspace messages for a while.
I decided to ask her if she has a messanger account because myspace is an unrelieable website. For those of you who have myspace. You know what I'm talking about.
I like the creative part of myspace and the concept but it takes forever to log on and at times has problems loading.
Anyway, she did have a messanger account and we've been chatting for about a month now.

I'm just extremely thankful for meeting Faye. She is "mint". I guess the saddest part is that she is not here or I'm not there. I wish I could see a concert with her, hang out, and most of all see and talk to her in person.
No matter what path we take in life and if I never get the chance to meet her in person, I will always care about her and continue to wish the absolute best for her (just as I do with all of my friends)
I feel very blessed and thankful that I chat with her.

If you read this Faye:
Thank you very much

I'm a changing blog!

Sporting News Basketball Fantasy

2006-10-18T11:03:00.000-07:00

Well I decided to join Sporting New Basketball Fantasy.
It's basically the same as baseball and football fantasy through Sporting News.

My team name is:

The McGowan All Stars

Here are your McGowan All Stars:

Guard: Ben Gordan- Chicago Bulls
Guard: Ricky Davis- Minnesota Timberwolves
Forward: Carmelo Anthony- Denver Nuggets
Forward: Josh Howard- Dallas Mavericks
Center: Eddie Curry- New York Knicks
6th Man: Tayshaun Prince- Detriot Pistons

If anyone is interested in joining, let me know and I'll create a league.

The Bolton Bombers are a Top 10 Baseball team.

2006-10-02T14:04:00.001-07:00

When the second half of the Major League Baseball started, I decided to join fantasy baseball through SportingNews.com

I decided to go with the team name "Bolton Bombers" cause that is Michael Bolton's softball team he created.

Michael Bolton used to play alot of softball.

I start off with 35 million in salary and I would be able to pick 3 pitchers, 2 outfielders, 2 infielders, 1 catcher, and 1 DH.
When your players do well, the players value increases. When they do bad, their value decreases.
I would start off with 3 Trades. You get 2 trades every Tuesday(which isn't enough).
Once you don't have any trades left, your only option is buying trades.
I didn't want to pay money to buy trades.
I thought to myself I probably wouldn't do well in my league.

Here is how the scoring system works.
The object of the game is to score the most Sporting News Points (TSNP) over the course of the season.

Hitting:
Statistic
TSNP

* An "Out" is defined as anything that results in an "0-for-1" in a hitter's stat line, including reaching base on an error. Hitting into a double play counts as one Out.
Note: Pitchers do NOT get credit for batting stats.
When you buy a player, you do not receive the TSNP he scored previous to his being on your team. You only receive TSNP for each day he plays while he's on your team, if he was on your roster at the time of that day's Roster Freeze.

The best chance to get alot of points is to get pitchers to start every day.

My First Linup was:
Pitchers:
Scott Kasmir-Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Chris Capuano-Milwaukee Brewers
Francisco Liriano-Minnesota Twins
Catcher:
Ivan Rodriguez-Detroit Tigers
Outfieders:
David DeJesus-Kansas City Royals
Jose Valentin-New York Mets
Infielders:
Mark Grudzielanek-Kansas City Royals
Prince Fielder-Milwaukee Brewers
DH:
Jim Thome-Chicago White Sox

I ended up finishing 10th out of 59 teams in my league which is excellent considering I didn't buy any trades.
All the other teams in my league had purchased trades which can get expensive.
I was lucky.

My Final Linup was:
P Lowe, Derek-Los Angeles Dodgers
P Hensley, Clay-San Diego Padres
P Westbrook, Jake-Cleveland Indians
C Paulino, Ronny-Pittsburgh Pirates
OF Dye, Jermaine-Chicago White Sox
OF Patterson, Corey-Baltimore Orioles
CI Fielder, Prince-Milwaukee Brewers
MI Uggla, Dan-Florida Marlins
DH Crawford, Carl-Tampa Bay Devil Rays

Bolton Bombers Final Season Stats:
Salary total earned:$35.37M
World Rank:30,089 out of 126,027 teams
Division Rank: 10 out of 59 teams
TSND Rank: 31254

Well, I would say my MVP would have to be Prince Fielder.

He was the only player I kept the whole season. He put up strong numbers for me.

Now I will be starting the MLB Playoffs fantasy.

I created two teams:

The Mena's of Suvari

The Saints of Silvia

Here is my lineup for the two teams:

The Mena’s Of Suvari:
P Mussina, Mike-New York Yankees
P Verlander, Justin-Detroit Tigers
P Hernandez, Orlando-New York Mets
C Piazza, Mike-New York Mets
OF Giles, Brian-San Diego Padres
OF Lofton, Kenny-Los Angeles Dodgers
CI Pujols, Albert-St. Louis Cardinals
MI Valentin, Jose-New York Mets
DH Delgado, Carlos-New York Mets

The Saints Of Silvia:
P Wang, Chien-Ming-New York Yankees
P Zito, Barry-Oakland Athletics
P Wells, David-San Diego Padres
C Kendall, Jason-Oakland Athletics
OF Cameron, Mike-San Diego Padres
OF Monroe, Craig-Detriot Tigers
CI Giambi, Jason-New York Yankees
MI Garciaparra, Nomar-Los Angeles Dodgers
DH Morneau, Justin-Minnesota Twins

Good luck to both teams.

2006-10-02T12:01:00.000-07:00

About 2 weeks I had one of the best days in my life. Sorry to those who have wanted this blog to be posted earlier.
On Sunday, September 24, 2006, my friend Richard and I went to see the band Trainwreck at Shank Hall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The Trainwreck band members are:
KLIP CALHOUN- GUITAR, VOCALS
DARRYL LEE DONALD- VOCALS, PERCUSSIONS
JOHN BARTHOLOMEW SHREDMAN- ELECTRIC GUITAR
BOY JOHNNY- BASS, VOCALS
DALLAS ST. BERNARD-DRUMS

If you are a Tenacious D fan you probably would enjoy them.
Klip Calhoun is Kyle Gass from Tenacious D(Kyle wear's a black wig) and Darryl Lee Donald is "Lee" in the HBO Tenacious D mini series.

Anyway, my friend and I got to Shank Hall when the doors opened and started looking around at all of the musicians pictures who have played at Shank Hall.
These are some of the musicians that caught my eye:
Jewel, Tom Tom Club, Spinal Tap, Alanis Morrisette, No Doubt, Goo Goo Dolls, Lisa Loeb, and more

Lisa Loeb

(This is the same picture in Shank Hall but the one in Shank Hall is in black in white with her autograph).

So Richard and I are sitting down and having a drink when the drummer comes up to us and say hello. I didn't know who the the drummer was in the band or any of the band members except for Kyle. We also see people going on stage and it turns out that they were apart of the band as well. About an 45 minutes till show time Richard and I relised we were the only audience so far. We were wondering if anyone was going to show up. We originally wanted to get to the concert early because we thought a lot of people would show up for Kyle. So the band hits the stage and there are only 16 people in the audiece (Kyle Counted). I'm rocking out and I look at the lead singer of the band and he looks familiar in some way. I told Richard during the show that it kind of looks like"Lee". I wasn't sure at all that it was "Lee" because he had beard. So during the show they did some cover songs. When they were doing cover songs they asked the audience, "Any Request". I yelled to the band. "How about some Elvis". They performed "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis Presley. During the concert, "Lee" was doing "Elvis syle dance moves"
These are the cover songs I remember them performing:
Grand Funk Railroad's "We're An American band", "The Smooky and The Bandit Movie Theme Song", Kenny Loggins' "Footloose" and the bass player sang "What a Feeling" from "Flashdance" the movie.
During the concert for one song Kyle came down by the audience and played his guitar.
Anway, the whole concert KICKED ASS!
After the concert I went to the Merchandise corner and noticed "Lee" was selling merchandise.
I told him great concert and how well they did.
I also asked him if he was "Lee" from the Tenacious D HBO Series. He said that he was a distant relative of "Lee".
I just said that the whole time during the concert I thought you looked like "Lee".
I got his autograph on the Cd I purchased. I also pursued to get the other band members.
I ended up getting there autograph's and talking to each of the band members for awhile.
The only autograph that I needed and wanted the most was Kyle's. He was getting a Diet Coke from the bands R.V.

One of the people who worked for Trainwreck said for the audience of 16 to go on stage and get a picture taken with the band.
I ended up getting Kyle's autograph when we were on stage after the picture was taken.
I was in shock, but that is only the beginning so far.
We ended up sittng around by the bar waiting for Kyle to be free so we could talk to him.
Richard and I decided to go outside and wait for awhile. We thought about leaving around this time. Richard and I turned around and there was Kyle having a smoke.
I asked Kyle what movie's does he have coming out besides "Tenacious D- The Pick of Destiny".

I also told Kyle that Darrell Lee Donald looks like "Lee" from the HBO Series.
He then confirmed and told me it was "Lee".
During the end of our conversation with Kyle we were talking about the Tenacious D movie. Kyle was talking about the music from the movie and he said that he had the soundtrack of the movie in his R.V.
He asked if we had a car and we said "yes".
He asked us to pull the car ahead of his R.V. so we could listen to the album with him.
Richard and I went to my car and pulled it on the road by the R.V.
Kyle goes into the backseat of my car and brings the Cd and we start listening to the soundtrack.
The soundtrack isn't even released yet so this is brand new Tenacious D.
As the cd is playing in my car, Kyle is telling Richard and I each scene of the movie that went along with the song.
Kyle also said that we were the first fans to listen to the Tenacious D soundtrack.
The copy of the soundtrack that Kyle was a burned disc becasuse it hasn't been released yet.
I was at this point beyond shock mode.
I couldn't believe that Kyle Gass is in my car and wanting to hang out with me and my friend.
"Lee" ended up telling Kyle that they had to go.
We waved the band goodbye and then let loose of our emotions.
While I was driving to get something to eat at "Oakland Gyro's", a Uhaul Driver is on the left of me. I rolled down the window and screamed "I met Kyle from the D". Probably thought I was on drugs.
Anway, this was the most fun I've ever had at a concert.
Thanks again to my friend Richard for bringing up the concert to me, and thanks to Trainwreck for knowing how to treat your fans to a great time.
(Sorry for spelling and grammer errors)

Rambo! Rambo!

2006-09-18T10:33:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I was invited to my friends bachelor party for some paintball and other fun activities. I'll be writing about my paintball experience. The first time I tried paintball was at my other friends bachelor party a few years back. Anyway, with my protective cup protecting I have nothing to fear. For the first 4 games I pretty much wasn't a threat, only a shooting target for other people. I was one of the first people eliminated those first four games. Being tall doesn't help in paintball. Around the 6th game I started to do a little better. My aim was getting better and my sneakiness was very sneaky. In one game I was the only man left on my team and two enemies left (Dan and Jessie). I saw Dan who didn't know where I was so I was creeping up toward him and I yelled "RAMBO".
"RAMBO" is when you are so close to the enemy that instead of shooting them you yell "RAMBO".
Then Jessie was to the left of me and he heard me yell "RAMBO" and turned his head toward me and was ready to shoot me. I quickly pulled the trigger before he got a shoot on me and I hit him in the butt. That's what I call "watching your ass".
Toward the end we played a couple of "Terminator" Rounds. "Terminator" is where you see who can last through the most pain possible. I didn't last very long on this. Aubrey and Jessie both came up to me and started shooting me. I took about 5 hits and I said "I'm Out". I did last longer than some people in the "Terminator" Rounds.

Anyway, the whole bachelor party was fun and I had a great time with my friends.
Congratulations and Thankyou John.
Hope you had a great time.

P.S.
Sorry I couldn't finish the whole bear. I finished a little more than half of the bear you bought me.
I'll try not to break anymore "Man Laws".

Can you do the Conga to Manilow?

2006-08-14T13:04:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday I was a disc jockey at a wedding reception and I thought I had a good variety of music of what the bride and the groom wanted. I also add little of my flavor to give the reception a little spice (eg. Michael Bolton, Wham, Chris Isaak, and Nickelback. Anyway, I was approached by a lot of young children asking me to do the Conga.

Well my answer was simple, Sorry I can't do the Conga cause I'm the D.J. and I don't have any Barry Manilow. I know most people probably wouldn't think of Barry Manilow a first choice to Conga to but for some reason I was thinking of the Barry Manilow song "Copacabana (At The Copa)". Weird, I know.
So next time I D.J. I'm bring Barry Manilow and people are going to Conga to Barry Manilow's "Copacabana (At The Copa)".

I needed a vacation!

2006-07-18T11:18:00.000-07:00

Well, I went on a little mini vacation July 9-12 with my friend Richard. We started with Green Bay the first day. We saw ECW Wrestling with front row tickets(as close as you can be) at the Brown County Arena.

We were so close that we got beer spilled on us and we got spit on by Tommy Dreamer.

LOOK OUT!Now I can say I saw an ECW Wrestling Live. I've seen WWE and WCW. Next it would be TNA. We ended up staying in Green Bay for the rest of the night checking out the down town area. Next day, July 10 we left at 5:30 a.m to get to our hotel in Minnesota. This is the first time I've been to Minnesota so I was looking forward to seeing a state I've never seen before. We arived in Minnesota, so we went to the mall where the movie "Mallrats" was filmed. It's hard to tell it's the same mall because they've remodeled the mall. Then we went to the Mall Of America. I would recommend that you take that trip and see it. IT'S HUGE. I probably did about 7 hours of walking in that mall. Awesome Cardio Workout. But after 4 hours of sleep and 7 hours of walking I felt like passing out. I would get into all the stores and what's inside the mall but it would take to long. Anyway, the last day we went to the mall we had a strange encounter. My friend and I walked passed someone and he said "That's Joey Styles".Joey Styles is the ring anouncer for ECW. So I yelled out "JOEY". He ended up turning around and talking to us and Richard got his picture taken with him. Richard was on Cloud 9 after that. Dinner came rolling around and we met my aunt and ate at "Bubba Gump". So anyway, it was a little vacation I needed to take. Thankyou Richard for the fun and the pictures, but FOR PETE'S SAKE, LET ME SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!

Miami, the city that keeps the roof blazin

2006-06-22T21:07:00.000-07:00

Congratulations Miami Heat!
I'm very excited to see the Miami Heat win it's first NBA Title. I'm not a fan of every member of the Heat (Gary Payton, Antoine Walker), but I'm glad to see Dwyane Wade, Alonzo Morning, and Shaquille O'Neal get a ring. I had the privilidge of seeing Dwyane Wade play basketball at Marquette. I knew Dwayne Wade would be good in the NBA but never thought he would be a dominate player like he is today and be dominate this early in his career. Dwayne Wade is the best overall college basketball player I've seen.

Good Job Miami Heat,

I didn't think Miami would be the Champions. I actually predicted the Dallas Mavericks to win it.

Michael Bolton Swings With Sinatra

2006-05-28T20:09:00.001-07:00

Michael Bolton's new cd "Bolton Swings With Sinatra" is a tribute to Frank Sinatra. I was very excited and to hear Michael Bolton was coming out with a new cd. I was excited because Michael Bolton is my favorite vocalist and he is coming out with a cd of Sinatra songs. I was dissappointed because Bolton said he was going to come out with a blues cd first and I really was looking forward to a cd of blues song sung by Michael Bolton. Michael Bolton has a jazzy/blues voice so I hope he comes out with that cd soon. Anyway, the Cd is good. I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars. I love Michael's voice on the cd. He voice is never a disappointment. I think that if your a not a Bolton fan there would be some tracks you would like. I personnaly love: "For Once In My Life", "I've Got You Under My Skin", and Night And Day". Bolton can't really sound like Sinatra or have his style on this Cd. Michael just uses his style of voice and have a big band orchestra to back him. Overall, I think he did a good job with this CD.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Make Me Want To Rock Out With My Cock Out!

2006-05-10T20:02:00.000-07:00

The Red Hot Chili Peppers new Cd "Stadium Arcadium" is simply creative. When I listen to this cd, it's amazing what a band can do. It's just amazing what this band can come up with. In my opinion, they are one of the most creative bands out today. This album has an interesting sound to it. I think it's a combination of an older Chili Peppers style when Hillel Slovak (the original guitarist) was in the band and a style similar to the "Californication" album . Overall this album kind of has a new sound for the band. It's a great album and I recommend you buy it.

Mobil Gas Up Your Ass!

2006-04-19T12:59:00.000-07:00

I'm really tired of the gas going up. Today it is $2.98. I bet that it's going to hit $3.20 when Memorial Day comes around. This is crap. How are people (especially the lower, lower middle class) going to go to work, school, or take a vacation.

2006-04-03T15:35:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers for winning their fist game of the 2006 season. J.J Hardy was the biggest stand out for me. J.J stepped it up for the Brewers with his defense and a homerun with his first at bat of the season. The hightlight of the game for me was Jeff Cirillo's 2 run base hit that gave the Brewers the lead. Jeff Cirillo still has it after all these years to perform under preasure.

Hello, Hello anybody home?

Yesterday I was talking to two of my friends about people not calling back and not showing up for your date. A friend of mine got stood up yesterday and I felt so bad because I can relate to her situation. When you get stood up on a date you ask yourself: Did I come on to strong, did I say something wrong, did I do something wrong, and the biggest question you ask yourself, why me? There is no excuse for somebody not call. With technology today, there is no excuse. IT'S JUST RUDE AND IMATURE. I got stood up earlier this year. After I got stood up, I left it up for her to call me back. I don't wait around for people who don't call. Why is it that good people like us get the shaft? Well I wish I knew that answer, but I do know that everything happens for a reason. I believe that God has a plan for us and we just need to find that path. I try to listen to my heart and try to do what my heart tells me to do. As for the guy who stood up my friend and the girl who stood me up, It’s their lose.

The Brewers finished .500 in 2005, but as Manager Ned Yost says, "We need to do things better". With that in mind, I was curious how you think the Milwaukee Brewers will finish this year.
Please choose from the following options:

World Series
First Place in NL Central
Wild Card
Above .500
.500
Below .500

Can I get one win please? So close but no cigar

Like everyone else, I joined a NCAA Mens basketball tournament pool. I was hoping that I would take first and my wildest dreams would come true with the prize money. I had some close games that could have went my way(I picked Gonzaga to win but lost to UCLA and I picked Washington but lost to Conniticut).
In the Elite Eight, I had Texas, Memphis, and Villinova to win. First, Texas blows the game. Second, Memphis couldn't hit a bucket to save world hunger, and then it all came down to the last 2 games of the Elite Eight. George Mason v.s. Conniticut and Villinova v.s. Florida. After the disappointing Washington/Conniticut game, I really was hoping for a miracle. I needed George Mason to win. If Conniticut won, I would have no chance to take first in the pool. Well, George Mason upsetted Conniticut. Now, Villinova needed to win for me to stay alive in the pool. Well, Villinova lost. I had a feeling they would lose. Villinova doesn't have the height or big bodies to defend Florida. Every year I enjoy watching the tournament and makeing picks. Congrats to Mr. Andrew Wells for taking first. I ended up taking 3rd. Can't complain. Wait, yea I can.
