Xanga! Hey! I forgot about this!

So what's goin on.. anyone still read these "weblogs" anymore?

How's the current "mood" and what's everyone currently listening to, reading, watching or gaming?

I'm currently in a good mood, sitting at work, waiting for my boss to bring us back our free lunch.

Listening to the other employees here argue over who has the best score at Qbis (I'm outta the loop on that one).

Reading the Google Bible Verse of the Day (Ecclesiastes 3:20 "All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.")... hmm, for some reason this reminds me of Bill & Ted when they're talking to Socrates.

Watching nothing, waiting for 24's new season to start.. and Prison Break.. and the Eagles.

Gaming... I don't "game".

I'm married now.

I have new job, a house, a new car & a dog... so I guess you could say I got domesticated.. and there's nothing wrong with getting domesticated. I wanted to avoid it, but now that it happened, I kinda like it.

I'm playing guitar with the Main Line Riders & we have shows booked Jan. 20th in DC & Feb.2nd in DE.

My wife is hot... my dog is awesome... Salisbury is surprisingly treating us real well & there's plenty of room for visitors, so come down (or up).

oh, and go see Rocky Balboa.

That will be all..

For everyone who doesn't know, I'm getting married on Nov. 11th to my girlfriend Kelli (well, fiance, but I hate saying that.. because I pretty much hate everything about France)..

Tomorrow morning I'm flying down to Houston, and Saturday we're driving up in Penske truck with all of her stuff.

Driving up to Philly? No.. I am buying a house in Salisbury, Maryland.

What the crap for? Kelli got a job at the Hospital there. My brother lives there. Houses are way cheaper there. We're in between the Chesapeake Bay (wakeboarding) and Ocean City, MD (surfing). I have a couple of potential jobs that I am excited about. And its just a nice smaller city that has everything you need, without all the problems of a big city.

What will I miss the most? The Phillies.. I mean my family and friends.. then the Phillies.

Anyway, prayers would be appreciated for this big change. I apologize to some of you who I haven't had the chance to hang with lately. I'll be back here a lot.

Until then, Adios Amigos!

I don't really use this anymore, but I just wrote a novel about Invincible, so I figured I'd put it on here too.. Hope everything's cool with everyone! Go see this movie!

I saw Invincible last night. I know, opening night, but I couldn't wait.. and I'm glad I saw it last night because the crowd was insane, I've never heard so much cheering in a movie theater... throughout the entire movie. It was fun, especially if you're an Eagles fan.. but its even more fun when you're in the movie.. and surprisingly, I was in the movie a lot more than I thought I'd be.

If you're going to see it, here's where you can find me:

The opening scene, Eagles vs. Bengals. I only saw myself for a split second, but I'm in the closer shots of the crowd, and I know there's an over-the-shoulder shot from behind me, because I remember the camera being set up directly behind and the crew kept shooting fake snow on us.

Then about halfway through the movie, Marky Mark walks over to "Columbo's Steaks" which at the time of filming, we were told was going to be a re-creation of Geno's, but I guess they didn't wanna use the name. We shot this scene all night, about 12 hours of work, plus I sat through 2 hours of makeup so they could remove my tattoos, and its a really fast scene. He walks down this alley and meets Elizabeth Banks around the corner at the steak joint. After they chat for a minute or two, he walks back up the alley. This is pretty much a two shot of Marky Mark and myself. I'm in front of him, he's walking towards me and my friend Dave as we were talking outside a south Philly stoop. I'm doing a lot of talking with my hands. This was the scene I thought would be the most exciting to see, but it wasn't.

The final scene in Invincible is the Eagles-Giants game at the fake Veterans Stadium (shot at Franklin Field). I am sitting a little to the left and 2 rows behind Elizabeth Banks and all of Vince Papale's friends. When they come to their seats, she's wearing a Giants shirt and we all start booing, and I unload handfulls of popcorn into her hair. I remember shooting this scene all day long last August and it felt like 110 degrees outside. We were all pretty worn out and thirsty, and we kept seeing the "stars" leaving their seats to sit in the shade and drink water between shots, and we had to stay in our spots. Naturally, this made us dislike them for real, and I really unleashed my popcorn throwing fury on this chick. So, top-left part of the screen whenever they show his friends.

I know I know, don't let this get to my head.. I'm just saying it was worth all the hard work, sweat, and pretty low pay to see yourself on the big screen.

Plus, the movie was excellent.

xanga again? oops.. well i wanted to put these pics up from today, so here you go..

today we played our Phillies phone center softball game on the field after the Phills finally got a win against Tampa Bay.. my team lost both games, relieving us as champs (we won both games last year) but it was a couple of great games. I went 3 for 3 with a homer in the first game, and 1 for 2 in the 2nd game.. these pics are from my phone, sorry..

team Feather (the losers)..

we play from center field in (home plate is in center field) because we're not allowed to screw up the dirt field..

from the bullpen..

so everybody saw this play right? :

well i had to recreate it..

good times.. did i mention i homered? first homerun since like 6th grade.

"ahh tippah come owoon.."

The Ramones are the best.. still.

School is keepin me busy, but I'm almost done.

My grandpa was a great man & I'm gonna miss him, big time.

My family is something I don't deserve, but am proud to be a part of.

My girl is also someone I don't deserve, but I thank God for her every day.

Xanga is gettin really old & I think this might be my last post ever.

I could watch Saving Silverman any day and laugh just as hard as I did the first time I saw it on tour a few years back.

Punk rock isn't dead.. but it needs help.

The Phillies are the best team of all time, no question.. world series here we come.

I hate the Mets... and New Jersey.

I love Philly.

Adios.

Here's the trailer for Invincible. There's a scene at the end where he points to the crowd & we all point back. Don't try to find me in it, its kinda impossible, but I'm there, 2 rows behind the blonde girl, a little to the left.. and so this begins the life of a background actor, telling people to get used to their pause button. Still, the movie looks really good & I can't wait to see the whole thing this summer.
