Day-late Veteran's Day post
Thursday, November 12, 2009
Yesterday was Veteran's Day and I never posted anything in honor of those who served. I apologize for that.
But a number of people did post some good stuff yesterday. Naturally I found the most interesting content from Geeding over at BagofNothing.com (boasting a new design by the way). In one post he shared a number of heart warming videos of soldiers returning home. We always see the videos of men and women returning to their spouses, girlfriends, boyfriends, children, parents and siblings and it is bound to give you a good feeling in your heart.
But what about the family dog? How do they react? I honestly found some of these videos to be so much more touching and wanted to share one with you here.
To those who have served or are currently serving, I thank you for your dedication and service to this country that I love. Happy (belated) Veterans Day to you all. Read more...
Phillies defend their home turf, extend World Series to a Game Six
Tuesday, November 03, 2009
Two of my favorite Phillies doing their thing.Last night was a nerve racking game for me as a Phillies fan, but they got it done. Behind Cliff Lee on the mound and Chase Utley's Wonderboy bat the Phillies defeated the Yankees in game five at Citizens Bank Park. After dropping two games to the American League rivals up north the Phillies had to win last night to keep the champagne from being poured all over their own building in the visiting clubhouse.
Now the World Series heads back to New York, where the Phillies have won three times in 2009 (two regular season and game one of the World Series). Pedro Martinez will take the mound for the Phillies and I can not help but feel strangely confident in what will unfold tomorrow night. I consider Martinez a Wild Card and those always work well when playing Uno.
This thing is going seven games. I'm feeling it.
Catching up on the World Series
Monday, November 02, 2009
Well neither game was pretty for my Phillies fans. In fact I wish the whole weekend had never happened and we could just start over. The Phillies were uncharacteristically sloppy on defense, the starting pitching and relief pitching continued to find ways to keep the momentum from swinging in favor of the home team, and the Phillies enter tonight in a must win situation.
With the Phillies down 3-1 there is no pitcher I would rather see taking the mound tonight than Cliff Lee. I have faith that Lee will perform in a manner in which Curt Schilling did back 1993. In the same scenario (Phillies down 3-1 in the World Series), Schilling dazzled everybody with a complete game 2-0 win to send the World Series back to Toronto for a game six (after that I sort of blocked out what developed north of the border).
Lee has been the best pitcher for the Phillies all postseason and I'm not sold that the Yankees' A.J. Burnett can duplicate his success from game two. All that matters is winning tonight's game. I am not going to worry about any future games in New York because for me it is all about tonight. A loss tonight and the season is over and I do not feel like this Phillies team will finish this storied season like this.
Below is the latest little video I put together to bring you up to speed on the World Series (in case you have not been watching - and I am pretty confident in saying that most of you reading this have been watching).
Hang in there Phillies fans. It ain't over! Read more...
Unique animation to start your Friday
Friday, October 30, 2009
COMBO a collaborative animation by Blu and David Ellis
I really like the way this video was planned and executed. I can not imagine how long this must have taken with the amount of painting and possible story boarding that must have gone into the organization of this work of art. And that's really what it is, a "work of art."
I saw this on Facebook after a friend posted it and just had to share it with you.
Happy Friday everyone, even though the Phillies lost last night!
World Series Teaser Video
Wednesday, October 28, 2009
I have been having fun putting together quick little musical slide shows chronicling the Phillies post season run. To get juiced for tonight's game one of the World Series with the universally hated (and admittedly loved) New York Yankees I threw together this little teaser video if you will.
The Phillies and Yankees have played in the World Series before, with the Joe DiMaggio lead Yankees sweeping Robin Roberts and the Whiz Kids in four games back in 1950. What better way to celebrate that era than with some Glenn Miller. Naturally as the Phillies are shown celebrating their two franchise world championships, the Yankees invade the party to boast about their 26 rings and their quest for a 27th. As you probably know, the Yankees have been dubbed "The Evil Empire" (I believe by the Boston Red Sox organization and fans), which serves as the influence for the second song selection in the video.
I'm excited for this one, probably more so than last year's World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Read more...
Penn State, Minnesota...Pluto?
Thursday, October 15, 2009
While compiling a couple videos on YouTube that had to do with Minnesota (some were included in my Blue White Round Table over on Nittany White Out) I stumbled across this classic Disney short starring Pluto, my second favorite Disney dog character (Goofy).
The lovable companion of Disney's mascot Mickey Mouse gets in a bit of a tussle with a pesky gopher in Minnie Mouse's yard. In his effort to rid Minnie's garden of the rodent Pluto winds up doing more harm than good.
I have embedded the video for you to enjoy, hopefully as much as I did!
