GC

I recently wrote a blog entry I lost titled "theatres" where I listed how my favorite theatres as a kid are now almost all gone and replaced with Kerasotes or Cinemark or Regal "big box" theatres. The main gist of the article was to revolve around the County Seat theatre in Valpo. It basically had three incarnations. The first was the General Cinema era from my childhood until like Freshman year in high school. The second was the AMC era from Freshman year until maybe Senior year. The last was the Village era from Freshman college to first Senior year. I miss that theatre so much. Unlike all other theatres, the County Seat had kind of a comfortable feel to it. I probably went to a hundred if not more movies there. I may list them. I'll miss some. I remember going there for the whole movie camp stuff and even in college. It kept its kind of ambiance up until Village took it over. I think that is when it lost its magic. I loved that place. You knew you weren't getting stadium seating or rocking seats, but it didn't matter. I also remember the old design to the place, it's dark lobby with the light draining in from the all windows front, the ticket counter outside. Inside, three large poster holders on each side. Usually, there was some big advertisement for some upcoming blockbuster that always looked amazing like Volcano or Super Mario Brothers. I guess, as an adult, I'd gladly trade comfort for the cramped feeling of the good old County Seat General Cinema…

Blog stuff

So here I am again. Haven't written in a few days. Me, Rach, Bob and Stef went to a Cubs game on Thursday. It was a lot of fun. We sat in the bleachers. I had a little too much to sip on and got sick. The fact is that the Gel's hot wings did some damage too as always.


 

I am starving. I won't have a lunch break time until 2:30 or so. I'd do anything to get out of here and have something to munch on. Bob is coming over at 7:30 tonight. That should be fun. We have the home run derby on. I am not a big fan of the participants. I am glad no Cubs are doing it because it messes up people's swings.


 

Tomorrow I am going to have a day to myself. I need to mail off a couple of items including a rebate. I am going to go to the gym and have a nice lunch. I have the house to myself. At night is the All Star Game. I can't wait to see it considering all of the Cubs involved.


 

Wednesday I work all day again. I am going to go home and sleep after work. It should be an easy day for me.


 

Thursday I have a half day and then go to Rach's. I plan on sleeping during the afternoon and going out to eat around 8 or so. We will then go up to the theatre and see the midnight showing of the Dark Knight. It should be awesome.


 

Friday I am having another Jake day. I think that at 3:30, I am going to go see Dark Knight again with my Dad.


 

I need to send my Cubs 8x10 off to Jim Hickman. He played for the Cubs in the latter part of the 60's and early 70's. He was an All-Star for the Cubs in 1970. He also played for the Mets.


 

After him is George Altman. He is a former negro leaguer who was a Cub in both the early and late 60's. He was also a Cardinal.


 

After him will probably be Ron Santo. He charges $10 per signature so I am a little iffy about getting him. I have several Ron Santo things I want to send out. I have an 8x10 of his number being retired and another of him during his playing days. I would also like to get him to sign my Cubs chair. I don't know if I will get him on that though.


 

I guess after those guys, I would like to get maybe Don Zimmer on it and maybe Mark Grace. Depends on who is signing. I am going to start requesting confirmation people will sign the item before I send it out.


 

After those guys, I will have Andre Dawson, Rick Reuschel, Andy Pafko, Phil Cavarretta, Glenn Beckert, Milt Pappas, Ron Santo, Jim Hickman and George Altman on my 8x10.


 

I am still banned from Sports Collectors. Jay is a thief. That is a shame. If I ever see him, I am robbing him but just for fifteen dollars. I am dead serious about that.

Here I am again

I realized a few days ago that I can no longer access my blog except for through Microsoft Word, which sucks but I guess it makes it more important to type what I feel and what is right the first time.


 

The thief Jay Grossman has officially stolen my money. I still can not get on Sportscollectors.net BUT he has my money. It is a shame he is a criminal.


 

Cubs got Rich Harden. I like the move. It allows Murton to flourish as a pro player in a smaller market. Harden is underrated and reminds me of Scott Kazmir when healthy. Tomorrow is a Cubs game for us to go to. I doubt Stef can get off and am bummed about it.


 

I got a lot done yesterday. I got my camera mailed off, got a new cell phone, put my old one on ebay (up to 12 bucks in just a few hours), worked out, unpacked some, went to Rach's, downloaded the big update to the PS3, and updated my Quicken. It was a busy day. So will be tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. Hopefully I will have some time to relax on Sunday, but I doubt it.

Trip

Ok, I am frustrated. I wrote a large amount of what I am about to write but my computer lost it. That sucks. But, I got a 10 hour day so I got time to type out this stuff. Anyways, the trip was fantastic. It really was well needed. Every day before the trip has seemed like a loop. The weeks and days were going by with little variation. I could go for weeks predicting exactly how things would go. The trip was really great at recharging me. Ok, so it really started Wednesday. I went to work til 8 and then me and Rach went to her house. We prepared to go and then went to Jewel for snacks for the trip. We got Ginger Ale, champagne, cookies, breathe right strips and lactaid. We then went to bed at her house.


 

We left at 9:15. I was impressed. My most optimistic goal was 9 and I was preparing for it to be 10 or later before we actually left. We stopped in Lafayette at about 1 their time and ate at Cracker Barrel. I remember that place as being a lot different as a kid. I hadn't been there since I was 10 or so in Nashville, IN and was never as big of a fan as some. I really liked it though and found the place to be really good. We then got to the hotel around 2:30. We stayed there until 4:30 and left for the concert.


 

The first concert was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. We got their around 5:30 and the place was already packed. We waited in line to get into the concert until about 6:30 and then hung out until it started. The place was packed and a lot of people were toolish. Steve Winwood came up first. He was great. He was from the bands Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith along with Eric Clapton. It was during this time that he had his biggest hit "Gimmie Some Lovin'". He also had some solo hits such as "Higher Love". He played both of those songs, some older stuff and some stuff off his new album. All of it was fantastic.


 

Next was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. They were out of this world. They opened with "You Wreck Me" from Petty's solo album "Wildflowers". The first forth of the concert consisted of that song, "I Won't Back Down", "Even the Losers", "Listen to her Heart", "Free Fallin'", and the Traveling Willberries song "End of the Line". That song was unexpected and my favorite from the whole trip. The second forth of the set consisted of "Straight into Darkness", "Saving Grace" and another song I can not name right now. We went to the bathroom during "Saving Grace". I caught 90% of the song and only missed the guitar solo. The third forth of the set was songs like "Refugee", "Don't Come Around Here No More" and others. For the encore, they played "Gloria" a Kinks song, "Runnin' Down a Dream" and "American Girl." While in the bathroom, two people stole our seats and acted like nothing much was wrong with that. I got them back. The whole concert was amazing. Petty and the group seemed way into it and like it wasn't routine at all. They really all enjoyed themselves and had fun playing for the crowd. As a result, the crowd was into it also.


 

Once the concert was over, we made the long trek to the car. Upon getting there, I got the car stuck in the mud. This sucked but I got some help and eventually got the car on the road. It was stressful but we got back to the hotel at 1 in the morning. I, along with my car, were completely covered in mud. It was even on the top of the car. I took a long shower and washed my clothes. Me and Rach relaxed for about an hour and a half and went to sleep.


 

The next day, me and Rach woke up too early at like 8:30 (my fault) and went to the breakfast. Nobody was there. It was the forth of July. We went back to the room, got ready, and went to the Mall. Nobody was there much either. I got an 8x10 of Fergie Jenkins, some coasters and an expensive mystery ball from Field of Dreams. The mystery ball could be anyone from Francisco Liriano and Evan Longoria to Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb. Most of the balls were someone like Jim Edmonds though. I got George Kell. He is a hall of famer. The ball was fantastic. It is a Tri-Star ball. I think I may sell it though once he passes. I am not trying to be macabre, but, you know… Rach got some Bath and Body Works and some clothes. We went to eat and back to the room around 2 or so. I forgot my stuff at the Qudoba restaurant and had to walk all the way back alone. We relaxed and went out to a movie at 5:30. We saw Wanted. It was great. It was like a mixture of the Matrix and Fight Club. I thought it was the best summer movie so far. The theatre was not very nice and seemed to be a little more ghetto than I was expecting. Also, before the movie, I had several cups of Hampton Inn's robust coffee. It made my heart race and took most of the movie to calm. After the movie, we went back to the room and I found my camera was broke. This sucked and put me in a bad mood for a little while. Me and Rach went out, drank, and watched the Cubs game at Jillian's. We then watched the fireworks. By the time they were up, we went back to the breakfast area and hung out for a while. We went to bed around 1 or 2.


 

The next day we got up at 9. We had breakfast and went exploring Indy. We went to the top of the circle monument. It was scary but cool. We then went to see the RCA Dome and Lucas Oil Field. We walked some more and went back to the room. We relaxed and didn't get ready to go until like 3:30. We went to Old Spaghetti Factory until like 4:30. I got gas and we went to the concert. We got there around 6 and got right in. That concert was a lot more laid back crowd as a whole. First up was this guy named Brett Drennon. He was actually pretty good. Next was Colbie Calliat. She has a hit song called Bubbly now. She played that and some other really good stuff. I was surprised at her as well. Next was John Mayer. Mayer played "Good Love is on the way" "Vultures", "I don't trust myself with loving you", "Free Falling" (which was weird since I heard Petty play it two days earlier), "Stop this Train", "Bigger than my Body", "No Such Thing", and some other stuff. I loved all of it and now have a new appreciation for his new material. He ended his set with "Waiting for the World to Change" "No One" and "Gravity". Mayer also played "Covered in Rain" and "Say" at the end of the show. It was fantastic. I love how he cared so much about how the audience enjoyed the show and whatnot. I would go see him again next summer in a heartbeat, and with Rachel, I am sure I will.


 

We got out of the lot without as much trouble as last time and went back to the hotel. We cleaned up and watched TV for quite a while. We went to bed around 2. In the morning, I woke up at 7:30, got packed, cleaned up, and Rach got up at 9. We had a small breakfast and after seeing the mall was closed, we talked in the room until about 11. We then left to go home. We stopped again at Cracker Barrel at around 12:30 their time. We had another fantastic meal and got home around 2. We hung out, watched Old School and played bags until about 10. Then I went home and went to sleep.


 

I have this problem where towards the end of the trip, I become upset. I tried not to have that happen this time, but it was worse than ever. I don't know what my problem is. I get so upset when it seems like my fun time is running out. Rachel teases me, but it isn't really funny to me. I just get bummed as the last day, day and a half of a trip arrives. I will try to fix this problem.

Back

I am back with another blog entry this week. What a week it has been so far. I am going on my trip tomorrow but it really starts tonight. I am very very much looking forward to it. I hope nothing gets in the way of me and Rach having a massive amount of fun this upcoming weekend.


 

I became livid with SportsCollectors.net this week. For those of you that don't know, that is a website where people can track not only their autograph requests, but others. It is highly beneficial to be a member of the site if you collect autographs. I can not count how many times people have signed for a short while that virually never sign (ie. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar). I sign up for 15 dollars a year to unlock the whole website. Usually though, I will share my password with Bob so he can use the site and track his requests. Recently I went on the message board and was talking about the HOF class. Everyone bitched and moaned about me saying

  1. Mark Grace deserves to go into the Hall

    And

  2. Lee Smith is the greatest closer ever


 

Those two points were unpopular but I defended them well. All of the sudden a tool named Vinniemiller called me an idiot for those views. Not taking him too serious his comments, I told him to taste my ass, a popular quote from Shaq. This created a firestorm. All of the sudden, some piece of shit named Jobafan (after the queer Joba Chamberlain) starting bitching and comparing me to some member who he said acts like a child, although that member is just a cool guy who, like me, doesn't take sports too seriously. So I tell Jobafan to private message me if he has a problem with me. He doesn't and keeps it on the board. Out of nowhere, he tells me to fuck off. I called him an asshole. This guy named Justgreg came on bitching, saying his kid reads the message boards and he can't have the bad language. At the same time, Vinniemiller makes a post asking people if they like him on the sports message board.


 

Jay Grossman, the founder of the site messages me and says that bad language isn't allowed and as a result, I am being warned. Apparently, I am his eight year old child so that is ok to do to me. In the meantime, he doesn't give me any info on if he warned Jobafan in the same childish manner he did me despite the reason he said "fuck off". I also have to ask Jay several times to remove Vinnie's post attacking me. A day or so passes and Jay messages me saying that he is banning me from the boards because my friend uses my screen name and that is a huge no-no. So I go on the new message board thread and see that Joba can barely hide his excitement in the news. Meanwhile, my friends on the message boards are like bummed out.


 

To make matters worse, justgreg, mentioned earlier bitching about the language, private messages me and is like, you said I could PM you with any problems and you are immature, profane, and you brag about your education. This makes no sense because I never brag about my educational level to anyone, let alone on a message board. He must have searched my posts to make his weak point and saw that in introducing myself, I said that I am in grad school and was therefore bragging about my education. Even though saying, I am in grad school to a group of people talking about if they are in school or not is in no way bragging. I told Justgreg (my posting priveledges weren't immediately dropped, I had a few minutes) that I lashed out at Joba because he came after me. I told him that I hope someone is teaching his son to stick up for himself because he certainly isn't doing it.


 

What is funny is last time me and Jay had an argument and I lost my posting privileges for two days, I could still message him and do other stuff. Now, I can't do much at all. Even my pictures don't show up. I can't even message him to ask him when I can come back. This morning, I messaged him to ask him if he plans on banning Justgreg the same as me. The fact is the guy verbally attacked me in the same way Jay accused me of doing to Joba. Also, his kid is going under his name, which is the same as me and Bob. I have gotten no reply. Also, recently, Joba mentioned on a board that I am lucky Jay only banned my posting priveledges because if he saw my profile, I would be banned from the site for life.


 

My profile says exactly what I feel and that is that the site is full of some of the most disgusting people I have ever met. I hate to say it but a majority of them are Red Sox and Yankees fans. They are either a good representation of bad people or a bad representation of good people. I wrote also that I would rather give my money to anyone else out there at all, but the unfortunate fact is that this is the only sports collecting website of it's caliber, so I am stuck. With that said, if anyone ever wants to go on the site, ask me for my password rather than give him money, nobody needs to ever give him another dime.


 


 

The Clips signed Baron Davis. That is amazing….IF they resign Brand. If they don't, they will only continue to suck for years on end. If they resign Brand, wow, that is an amazing team. Think about it…

C-Kaman

PF-Brand

SF-Thornton

SG-Gordon

PG-Davis


 

I heard that Brand may go to Golden St. That would really mix up the whole league. It is hard to imagine Davis going to LA and Brand in Golden St. I still like Golden St. a lot next year if that happened.

Here is their lineup…

C-Biedrins

PF-Brand

SF-Wright

SG-Jackson

PG-Ellis

Bench:

F-Harrington

G-Pietrus


 

Oh well…I g2g for the next few days. Cya guys next week…
