AV Geeks
Five amigos once thrown together in Hippieville...
Now, we're fighting evil in the desert, on the prairie and in the city.
Sure, we're the glorified AV geeks of local news... but we're much much cooler.

MISS? EH...PROBABLY NOT.

OKAY...I MIGHT MISS THOSE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SUNSETS.

THEY'RE PRETTY COOL.

I'LL MISS NED AND DUFF...THOUGH I'LL STILL SEE THEIR DUMB ASSES FROM TIME TO TIME...YOU KNOW...UP IN THE NORTH COUNTRY.

I'M GOING TO MISS SAT TRUCK RON A BIT TOO.

I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH THIS DUDE IN THE LAST YEAR. MY FIRST DAY ON THE JOB, HE AND I DUG A TRUCK OUT OF THE TAHOE SNOW, AND HACKED OUR HANDS UP ON SOME BROKEN TIRE CHAINS. TODAY, RON AND I PRACTICED PUTTING CHAINS ON THE NEW SAT TRUCK.

IT'S ALL PRETTY EASY WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE SNOW BLOWING IN YOUR FACE AND MONSTER TRUCKS BRUSHING BY YOUR ASS. THE CHAINS ALSO COME WITH THESE FREAKY GLOVES...

WHICH ALSO COME IN HANDY IF I NEED TO ARTIFICIALLY INSEMINATE A COW. AS OF NOW...NO COWS ON THE SCHEDULE.

BADminton

This past weekend I found out two things:

1. Badminton is a really fun game.
2. I'm awful at it.



But that doesn't discourage me. I joined a badminton playing club. It is mostly made up with Asian players, who are so much better than me that I look silly out there trying to compete. I tell you it is harder than it looks. I hell of alot more than hitting a birdie - (known as a shuttlecock) - around

TURKEY SATURDAY

Being that I'm a TV news slave...I had to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family on Saturday. It was a nice day in the hometown. We ate mucho turkey, and competed in an old Guapo family tradition...Swimming Pool Hoola-Hoop Whiffle Ball Golf! The objective...be the one to hit the most whiffle ball golf balls into the Hoola-Hoop, which is floating in the swimming pool. My Brother-in-Law won for the second year in a row...the bastard. I took losing so well...I locked his kid in our dog kennels. HA-HA!

Some pics.

T.G.I.FNF

I spent another night up on the risers shooting High School Football.

This has become a routine part of my week...shooting football on Friday. Honestly...I look forward to Friday more for this, than for the typical TGIF, end of the work week bunk. Spx-Dude asks me to shoot the game from up top...because this is how NFL games look...I do enjoy shooting down low, though.

Plus...you stay warm when you're running along the sidelines. When you park your sedentary ass up high...you freeze.

Snow!

HAPPY TURKEY THURSDAY

Here is a shot of my second plate of Thanksgiving excess.

The fact that I didn't puke is a miracle. The fact that Boston Market's initials are BM could prove fatal for my toilet...at a later date...like tomorrow.

NEW TRUCK...EH...WHATEV'

Our old Sat Truck pooped out a new Sat Truck today.

Everyone climbed in and out of it like a bunch of giddy school kids.


I stared into the skies, dreaming of a brighter tomorrow.

See You in a Month or So

So after I ripped into the last post, here is a lame one of my own.

I just thought I would let you all know what happened to me when I don't check in or answer calls anymore. Do any of you even call me? With any rate, I picked up.....





So....yeah....I'll be "busy" for awhile. I'm already planning a few sick days in the next couple of weeks.

Kick ass assignment

Today i got to meet this guy:



oh, and he was with Jerome Kersey, Kevin Duckworth, and Chris Dudley. I'm just too lazy to put up all of their pictures... or take any of my own.

Today at the practice facility, they met the current blazer team... LaMarcus, Brandon, and some gimp named Greg.

Usually they've got team pr people all over the place, keeping the cameras at a safe distance, but not today. It was so freakin cool!!! When the team finished practice and circled up to listen to the blazer greats... I was in the circle next to Oden rolling tape! Dudley started shooting 3's, Clyde was giving him shit... and I was standing right next to #22.

There were only 5 media people there, instead of the usual 20. Don't know why everyone else missed it? But that made it seem like it was just me there, watching the new guys meet the old blazer greats! Actually, that's pretty much what it was!

Unfortunately I had to hand the whole thing off to an editor who had about 3o minutes to cut it...

BORING BORING YA YA YA...

I'M SURE MOST OF YOU CAN GUESS...MY JOB IS AS BORING AS FUCK. I SIT IN MY SHIT BAG OFFICE...WRITE EMAILS THAT ARE MOSTLY IGNORED...IGNORED BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE IS TOO BUSY WORKING!!!!!! NOT ME. I GOT ALL THE TIME IN THE FUCKING WORLD!!!!!!!!! OH SURE, EVERY ONCE IN A BLUE MOON, I HAVE A BUSY NIGHT, WHERE I'M SLAMMED. BUT SERIOUSLY...THEY ARE SO FEW AND FAR BETWEEN...I'M GOING TO DECOMPOSE BEFORE I WEAR OUT!!

THIS IS PART OF THE REASON I TAKE A LOT OF STUPID, SEEMINGLY MEANINGLESS PHOTOS OF STUFF. I NEED TO FEEL LIKE I'M CREATING SOMETHING.

WHETHER IT'S ANOTHER BORING ASS PICTURE OF MY GODDAMN CAT...


OR A DRIVE BY SHOT OF SOME PO' FOLKS IN THE SAC TOWN GHETTO...


IT'S ALL I'VE GOT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THINKING ABOUT A CAREER CHANGE...I WARN YOU!!!! THE OTHER SIDE AIN'T ALL THAT IT SEEMS. UNLESS YOU'RE STILL WORKING IN A CREATIVE POSITION...YOU WILL GO NUTS WITHOUT THE REQUIRED DAILY CREATIVE OUTPUT THAT YOUR POSITIONS ASK OF YOU. BE VERY CAREFUL CROSSING TO THE OTHER SIDE...OR YOU MIGHT END UP LIKE ME...

...RESORTING TO PHOTOS OF ANYTHING JUST TO GET YOU THROUGH THE DAY...

Watch out Trump. I've defeated Ganon



Maybe that video game has warped my mind.

May the Triforce give you strength
