Havok lands in the land of logging and lumberjacks

Tomorrow I am going on vacation. I will have to miss a few classes of my finishing school but I feel like it will be a worthwhile investment to clear the stress out of my head. And where am I going? The worlds #1 vacation destination of PORTLAND, OREGON! Now your reaction may be something like this:

Hmmmm now what's in Portland that Havok would want to see/do?

Well there's
1. More Brewpubs than any other city in America and more than in Cologne, Germany
2. Wonderful Pinot Noir Wine vineyards
3. The beautiful and scenic Hook River
4. The worlds largest Rose festival
5. The lovely Pacific Coast
6. Nextdoor Eugene, which is home to the Oregon Ducks, who are playing the California Golden Bears this weekend.

And you'd be right I am doing many of those things, but mostly I'm going to visit some friends from college, we'll call them Flava and Idaho to protect their innocence. Portland is an absolute Mecca for the following things: beer, indie rock, roses, lumber, and hippies. Many of you know I have very strong opinions about these things, whether positive or negative (hippies are the ones I have negative feelings for, and yes I have VERY strong positive feelings for trees) so hopefully I'll have some tall tales when I get back.


Ohhhhh yeah baby so hot yeah oooooohhh yeah

I've been drunk and blacked out for thirty seven straight days

You've probably noticed that I haven't posted a blog post since August. During this time my readership has become angry with me and dropped from 4 people down to 2 people. As for the 2 people that still do read, sorry for the disappointment the 5 times a day that you check. So as for where I've been: Blackout drunk for 37 straight days. Yep, I drank a bottle of Jack Daniels a day everyday for 37 straight days. And I lost 10 pounds. It's this new fad diet that I've started called the Perpetual Headache Diet. All you have to do is drink a bottle of Jack Daniels everyday so that you get so drunk you can't taste tastes, so you just eat healthy.


It works! You will lose weight!

Of course, if you try this diet, I can not be held liable for the liver damages that it will inevitably cause and perhaps cause you to lose your inhibitions, which may lead to running around naked and screaming "I'M THE PLUM AND YOU'RE THE PRUNES BAHAHAHAHA" in an old folks home or cause you to accidently think that a small 8 year olds skull is in fact a head of lettuce.


This one is the 8 year old

So anyway, because of certain incidences like those that may or may not have happened, I've been sent to Finishing School. That's right, they're trying to make Havok into a proper English gentleman. I'll try to post as much as possible while I'm there, but no guarantees until Tuesday, November 6th, which is the date of my Finishing School exam...

TO BE CONTINUED...

Cubs vs Pirates September 23, 2007

Sooooooo sad but sooooooooo happy was this game. Sad because it was the last Cubs home game of the year. Happy because the Cubs won 8-0 and it's looking like maybe we could be... um... maybe... dare I say... PLAYOFF BOUND? At this point the Cubs sit with a 3 game lead over the Brewers with only one week left of games to play. Things are lookin' pretty good...but it's the Cubs, so I'm not crowning anybody's ass yet. You never know what's gonna happen.




So last home game of the season, we park ourselves in Left Field one last time and watch Soriano milk the crowd. This beautiful, beautiful man has been very, very good as of late. He had some hits, Derrek Lee hit a homer, Ronny Cedeno (?!) of all people went 3-4 with a home run raising his average from -.146 to something positive I think. Geovany Soto continues to look kind of bad ass at the catcher spot and even had some nice throws to pick off base stealing assholes.

So I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited. The Cubs have had some crazy victories, it's been the most fun season I can remember since 2003 (I know that was soooo long ago). So... Go Cubs Go!

Final Score: Cubs 8 - Pirates 0

Starting Pitchers:
Cubs: Carlos Zambrano
Pirates: Tom Gorzellany
