Wednesday Grind

I didn't want to use this since it kinda got diluted by the Rock Band franchise, but fuck it... it's fast, hard and heavy... perfect for hump day.

From their '90 album of the same name.

Nuptials

My good friends Joe and Jen tied the ol' knot this weekend. We had a whole lotta fun, especially catchin' up with some of my ol' co-workers. The ceremony was a bit long (crazy Catholics) but was pleasant and well-done.

The reception was a blast. Great little place in Selinsgrove called Front Street Station. The banquet room was actually bordered on two sides by old passenger train cars, which was pretty nifty. I've eaten there a time or two before, so I already knew the food was gonna be good. The bar was open and us journalist types know how to drink and party, so everyone had a great time.

After the reception, we headed back to the hotel and broke out the coolers. My buddy J-Ro bought along a case of Troeg's Sunshine Pils, and I grabbed a case of Magic Hat Summer Scene Sampler. It was cool bein' able to catch up with some old friends... J-Ro and his wife Ivy; our friends Chris and Erin; Matt, who was the photographer at the wedding, and a bunch of others. We just sat around, shootin' the breeze and drinkin' good beer for half the night.

Illegal Download of the Post

This is one of these newer songs that I'm kinda diggin' on at the moment. Tryin' not to listen to it too much since the radio, as usual, is beatin' the hell outta it as well.

Song: Country Song
Artist: Seether
Album: Holding On To Strings Better Left To Fray (2011)


Y'all take care, now.

Wagon Wheel and the Iron Man

I've always liked baseball. I still love watchin' my brothers go to work on the diamond, and every now and then I'll pick up my ol' glove and have some fun. I'll still watch a game or three on the tube every now and again, but the pro game has lost a lot of luster for me in the last few years.

I remember a day back when pro baseball was truly fun to watch.... a day when I lived to watch ol' number 8 walk up to the plate. When my older brother and I were kids, we used to play one-on-one baseball in the front yard... old softball bats and tennis balls, with trees for bases. If we hit it over the neighbor's fence across the street, it was a homer. I'd do my best to imitate Cal during these summer pickup games. I hardly did him justice, as my older and more athletic brother usually whooped up on me, but it was still a boatload of fun.

Cal was (and still is) one of the purest players to ever play the game. He played with a joy and enthusiasm each and every game that I wish all pro ballers played with. So naturally, when I stumbled upon this video of the '01 All Star game, I had to watch it a few times and remember the good ol' days...

 

And some Old Crow is helpin' me through this Thursday as well, so I might as well share that with ya too...

For some reason, the video uploader isn't workin' despite my finer efforts, so you'll have to settle for a good ol' fashioned link. This is one badass video.

From '79's album of the same name.

Farm cats

I worked most of the weekend, so not much to report on.

But one of the cats that likes to hang out in the parlor while we're milkin' decided to come visit me and Joe on Saturday mornin'. Didn't think much of it until she decided to start shittin' out kittens in our box of rags.

We watched for a little while, but we weren't gettin' much done with the cows so we go her into another box and relocated her to the old barn.

Cute little fuckers though.

Here's a picture my girl took yesterday after all was said and done.

I also found a few of the older ones playin' around outside and shot a quick video...

I love kittens... only problem is they grow up to be cats.

Classy

Classy, Vancouver. Very classy. I don't follow hockey very much, but it's always fun to see the fans lose with grace.

Here's to you, Canuck fans....
