Day 905 of 365 Again. Tonight, I live in the greatest city on the face of the Earth. It was a strain. It was scary. It maybe took 10 years off my life, but Superbowl XLIII is over, and the good guys were victorious. I only barely remember the Steelers teams of the seventies. But…
Day 891 of 365 Again. Ladies and Gentleman, I present your AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers! Oh it feels so good. Now we have a week off, and then it’s Superbowl time. This year, we’ll be facing the Arizona Cardinals, in their first Superbowl appearance since, ummm… never. I firmly believe that overconfidence is death for…
Day 889 of 365 Again. Well, I’m back home. It was a long long day of travelling. We left the hotel at 9am Vegas time and landed in Pittsburgh around 10:30 Pittsburgh time. Another hour to get bags and get home and just totally collapse on the couch. I’m exhausted, but not sleepy. I don’t…
Day 884 of 365 Again. If you’ve been paying attention, you know that I’m a die hard Steelers fan. I work my life around it. I rejoice when they win and I mourn when they lose. Today was a good day. The team completely decimated the Chargers and moved one step closer to a sixth…
Day 815 of 365 Again. Are you ready for some football? I think I mentioned before how much I hate this football season. The Steelers schedule is all fucked up and it throws off my entire week. So instead of having football to watch after breakfast on Sunday, now I’m forced to watch it after…
Day 785 of 365 Again. I really wish I had more time to do more outdoor shots like this. It’s just nice to be outside of the studio. I was hoping to go to West Virginia this weekend and do another photoshoot. That didn’t work out. Hopefully I’ll get it in next week sometime, but…
Day 740 of 365 Again. I’ve only known about this event for a week, but in many ways I’ve been preparing for it my entire life. A week ago, Virgina sent me an email asking if I wanted to go to a huge pillow fight in the middle of Schenley Park. It was a strange…
On the way home from the car dealer yesterday, Jameel and I both took cameraphone shots of each other out the windows. Here’s Jameel flashing the peace sign as I drove by him.
What I really love is the distortion on the truck in the background. I think its a combination of the warping of my window, a longish exposure for a cameraphone shot and the effective speed of 130+ mph (combined his speed and mine) as we passed each other on the highway.
Day 661 of 365 More.
This is a story of hope. A very short story because I am watching the game.
I’m not a huge hockey fan (not like football), but I do enjoy it. And when I watch, I root for the Pittsburgh Penguins. As I’ve mentioned in previous recent shots, the Pens are currently in the Stanley Cup Finals. And they haven’t been doing well. in a best of 7 series they are down 3 games to 1. Win or go home.
Tonight, they were down 3-2. The fans were singing victory songs in the final minute. Steph and I were on the edge of our seats just hoping and hoping.
With less than 35 seconds of regulation play, 35 seconds away from a world chamipionship, the Detroit Redwings gave up a goal.
At this very moment, we our now in overtime (took this shot during the break).
Keep hope alive!
Day 659 of 365 More.
Today was game 4 of the Stanley Cup. The Pens pulled out game 3 and this was their chance to tie it up. They even scored the first goal, and I was feeling good about it. All they had to do was win this one, and I was still in the running to win the office Stanley Cup pool.
That’s what I get for hoping.
*sigh*
Day 652 of 365 More.
It’s a hockey night in Pittsburgh!
Tonight was the first day of the Stanley Cup championships. I’m not nearly as big a hocky fan as I am of football, but on a night like this, I have to support the team.
Fat lot of good it did us.
We got blown out 4-0. Luckily, its a long series, so hopefully we’ll get them next time.
Actually, I had kind of predicted the blow out. I’m in a pool at work for the cup. I predicted that the Pens would win the series in 6 games with a total score of 11 points. When Steph asked me how they were only going to have 11 points after 6 games, I told her they were going to get blown out in at least one game, and win another 1-0, so really its only about scoring 10 points in 3 games. Much more reasonable.
Also filmed the podcast today. In a total surprise, 2 min. into the show, Stephen introduced my mom. Apparently he was in the area, so they filmed the episode from her house. It was a total surprise to me, and pretty much the whole show is just about embarrassing me. Still, it was a fun time. I can’t wait to see how the final broadcast turns out.
GO PENS!
Day 625 of 365 More. The last day of Pittsburgh Comicon 2008. Didn’t do quite as well as we did on Saturday, but we still did pretty good. Sold some books, talked to some fans, even did an interview for a web tv show (my second for this project). It actually made me believe for…
