So here is mine as I see it right now.  I know some of these will most likely never happen but why not dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.  See a baseball game at every stadium.  (Techincally this is more than one but its my blog and my list so its ok.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.    AVP tour matches - I used to play volleyball in high school and really enjoyed back in the day.  I would love to see the pros doing it in the sand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.   Bull Run - Note that I would like to see it not be in it.  Watching dumb people getting horns up their asses just sounds like fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.    Kentucky Derby - Get dressed up and get messed up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.   Olympics - More specifically the track and field and gymnastic competitions.  I also would want to see the swimming and diving events.  I would go to the winter olympics too just for curling.  Come on its curling how freaking cool would that be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.   USC vs. Notre Dame in South Bend - Classic rivalry in a sweet ass place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.   Danish Soccer Team Match - In the homeland of course.  I wanna see what its like to be a soccer hooligan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.   The Masters - This is the most likely to happen since my grandmother-in-law atleast lives in Augusta.  If I have to explain this one you are retarded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.   Final Four - March Madness is probably my favorite time of the year and to see the top 4 teams go at it would be amazing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.   Super Bowl - Granted this one is easy but I really would only want to see it in person if the Redskins were in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats the list for now.  It may change as time goes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15308623-3260140026866991988?l=saltykracker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/feeds/3260140026866991988/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15308623&amp;postID=3260140026866991988' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/3260140026866991988'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/3260140026866991988'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/2008/05/sports-bucket.html' title='Sports Bucket'/><author><name>SaltyKracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07614640971474305591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15308623.post-1982522958347076430</id><published>2008-05-12T05:21:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-12T05:33:02.093-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Nothing</title><content type='html'>Thats what I did this past weekend and it was freakin sweet.  Ive had a pretty hectic schedule the last few months and this weekend it all caught up to me and I didnt mind.  The wife and I did go to the mall where she shopped and I walked around and did the married man at the mall duties.  I held clothes and went and got her things that she wanted.  I was rewarded for my duties that morning anyway so I had no complaints.  Saturday night their was a dinner for the confirmation students Laura taught at church so we had ham and pototos because thats what good Lutherans do.  They eat ham and potatos by the truck load.  It was  a nice little evening and then we came home and I fell asleep.  Outside of those few things I did play some COD4, watch IRL qualifying, NASCAR, NBA playoffs and an old UFC fight of Chuck Liddell getting his ass kicked by Keith Jardine.  Thats it.  It was awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now about the weight loss thing.  I did pretty well this weekend minus the church dinner.  Sunday night the wife and I made a sweet lemon shrimp pasta thing that was delicious and nutricious.  I didnt work out or anything because it rained and I just wasnt awake long enough to do anything about it.  I will this week coming up though. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats it for now.  Peace!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15308623-1982522958347076430?l=saltykracker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/feeds/1982522958347076430/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15308623&amp;postID=1982522958347076430' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/1982522958347076430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/1982522958347076430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/2008/05/nothing.html' title='Nothing'/><author><name>SaltyKracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07614640971474305591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15308623.post-7296519047151274978</id><published>2008-05-08T09:23:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T02:49:55.664-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Kucinich stopped by.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tBc_nN0UPaQ/SCL_2v1MGEI/AAAAAAAAAAY/P-Km-Me4jfo/s1600-h/Kucinich.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197998235956549698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tBc_nN0UPaQ/SCL_2v1MGEI/AAAAAAAAAAY/P-Km-Me4jfo/s320/Kucinich.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Our crew with the Ohio Congressman and former Presidential hopeful.

How has it been almost two years to the day since I was last on this thing.  I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;dont&lt;/span&gt; even live in the same place anymore.  I guess if anyone were to read this they might need an update.  I live in Northern Virginia and I work in DC at a news bureau.  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Thats&lt;/span&gt; all you get.  Deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real reason I am blogging is that I wanted somewhere to track the progress of my new diet and workout attempt.  When I was in VA Beach I lost about 20 pound on the Abs Diet.  I moved shortly after that and started working at 330 am which totally &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;FUBAR'ed&lt;/span&gt; my time schedule on eating.  So I ate all the time and when I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;wasnt&lt;/span&gt; eating I was thinking about it.  So i have put on all the weight I lost and added some more for good measure.  I am now fluffy and I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;dont&lt;/span&gt; like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I came to realize I needed to lose this weight when I went &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;paintballing&lt;/span&gt; recently.  Now I have been going pretty regularly for about a year now.  I own all of my stuff and have gotten fairly good at it.  However, the last field I went to played very fast and cause me to run, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;ALOT&lt;/span&gt;, I was out of breath and ready to go home after the first game.  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Thats&lt;/span&gt; sad.  Very very sad.  So here I am trying to get back in the swing of things and drop 30 pound and keep it off.  This is gonna suck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am attempting to do &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Mens&lt;/span&gt; Healths Ab Diet again.  It worked before and I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;dont&lt;/span&gt; fuck with success.  The last time I did it I dropped the 20 pounds without really any "workout"  I just ate 6 times a day 3 meals 3 snacks high protein and the weight came off.  I felt better and blah blah blah.  So now we start this again.  I actually started 2 days ago and realized I want to track my progress, so this is tracking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I weighed 230.6 pounds on Tuesday the 6&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;.  I will try not to weigh myself for 2 weeks.  It is something I did last time and realized that if at first &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Im&lt;/span&gt; not losing weight I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;dont&lt;/span&gt; want to know about it.  This will be hard because I would like to know that something positive is going on but I will try to stay off of the scales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now Tuesday I followed the diet pretty spot on.  However, my time frame gets a bit screwy because I want to eat dinner with Laura and I should only be having a snack at that time.  But the wife has been informed that I will be having my dinner before she gets home and we will sit and she can have dinner and ill eat yogurt or some shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday the eating went pretty much as it should.  I was a little late on dinner because I passed out on the couch after a long day at work.  However, I was able to rally and Laura and I went on a nice walk around the lake in the neighborhood.  So &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;yay&lt;/span&gt; I exercised and ate well.  Hooray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I plan on eating well and so far so good.  Its almost time for my snack, strawberries and hopefully that will hold me until I can eat something real.  I have a kickball game &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;tonite&lt;/span&gt; and the weather looks like &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;shyt&lt;/span&gt; but hopefully I can work something else into today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright I think that is it for my first post in 2 years.  I really &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;dont&lt;/span&gt; expect anyone to even check this thing but if you do leave a note and say whats up.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PEACE!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15308623-6220095859363129817?l=saltykracker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/feeds/6220095859363129817/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15308623&amp;postID=6220095859363129817' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/6220095859363129817'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/6220095859363129817'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/2008/05/two-years.html' title='Two Years'/><author><name>SaltyKracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07614640971474305591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15308623.post-114722747915035698</id><published>2006-05-09T22:17:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-05-09T22:17:59.163-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome to the Jungle</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?link=Halo3Announcement"&gt;http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?link=Halo3Announcement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So freaking stoked!!!!!!

I just recently saw "Walk the Line" and it was a great movie, also when I saw Long Beach Shortbus they played Bird on a Wire and it was amazing.  So here I am trying to gain as much Cash music and knowledge as I can.  I suggest both the movie and the music to any who may not have seen or heard it.  By the way in "Ive Been Everywhere"  he says Opelika, just in case you didnt know that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far this week I have won two of the 4 pools Im in.  I was lucky enough to have enough first and second round upsets correct to win even though I have no teams in the final 4, luckily neither did anyone else.  As much as I normally hate George Mason being that they are in the same conference as my school VCU I want them to win it all.  Why the hell not, plus itll probably help me in some brackets that I havent won yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baseball starts next week and I cant wait.  I get to go to the Nationals game when they play the Braves for my birthday and I cant wait.  Hopefully the Braves will once again win the division and maybe this year make it out of the first round.  Who knows the Mets bought another team but last time they tried that it blew up in their face so heres hoping history repeats itself once more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this concludes the Man in Black post!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace Out Bitches!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salty&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15308623-114357230745772772?l=saltykracker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/feeds/114357230745772772/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15308623&amp;postID=114357230745772772' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/114357230745772772'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/114357230745772772'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/2006/03/man-in-black.html' title='Man in Black'/><author><name>SaltyKracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07614640971474305591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15308623.post-114295396427601787</id><published>2006-03-21T10:09:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-03-21T10:12:44.290-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Dance, Dance</title><content type='html'>Whats up?  I went dancing and my bracket went to hell.  Thats about the best way to put it.  George Mason is from the same conference as my school VCU and Im glad to see them getting some exposure.  In the end it will be good for my school.  Ive been busy lately with Navy homecomings, its a good story and easy so its been fun.  I really dont have much to say so Im just gonna ramble.  I recently saw Long Beach Shortbus at the Norva, they are remaining members of Sublime and Long Beach Dub Allstars, weird but good show.  My boy Johnboy had his first child last week, she came out a he so that was a mad dash to get everything changed from pink to blue.  Hes a good little bean and super cute so that is all good.  No babies anytime for me though.  So yeah thats about it.

Sup? Long time no post. Well its been about 2 months since my last post and not much has happened. I work, I come home and I chill, then I go to bed and then repeat. Gotta love that. I would like to congratulate B-Rock on the arrival of the little bean. She sure is a cutie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So whats been going on? Not a damn thing. I did go home for VCUs homecoming and tailgate and get shitfaced. It was good to see the old crew from school and hang a little in Richmond. VCU beat Old Dominion that night which is great because ODU is down here in Norfolk and I love bragging and walking on their campus with a VCU shirt so that was a plus. Hmm what else has happened, well I made it through another sweeps at WVEC and we kicked everyones ass again. Its good to be at a competitive station that continues to raise the bar and then take that bar and beat the shit out of the other stations. No real cool stories lately, lots of major fires and shootings, but I havent been there long enough to get the cool stories, but I was their long enought to actually get a BONUS. Not only did the managers get thier bonus the money was shared with the people that actually work. we got about a 4% bonus of our yearly earnings at the station. I was amazed after my previous expierences at the WTVM were the people who actually work get shitted on and the managers get an unearned bonus. Oh wait we did get money to a pawn shop. Ok enough beating down of the TVM I did enjoy my time there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wife is doing well. we have actually started buying furniture and making the apartment our own. We will be getting a new couch and recliner once they are in town so thatll be sweet. Other than that its the same ol same ol. I did see Slighty Stoopid live, if you like Sublime check them out. Speaking of Sublime some of the members of Sublime and Long Beach Dub Allstars formed Long Beach Shortbus and they are coming here so I get to see them too. I have no idea if that sentence its even a real sentence but whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bode Miller is a bitch or B.iggest O.lympic D.isapointment E.ver. The Olypics were cool though I did enjoy the snowboarding and curling, yes I enjoy curling so what wanna fight about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really have nothing to say so Im gonna end this now. OH yeah Im Danish actually first born American in my family anyone want it with Denmark come see me motherfucker.

Its been awhile since my last blog, been super busy with the holidays and such.  Work has been pretty good since I went dayside and am more comfortable  with my camera.  I got to cover two Redskins games which was great.  Speaking of the Skins it is great to see them fighting for the playoffs and the fact that they swept the Cowgirls makes it even better.  I am pissed that I lost to Bandito in the Super Bowl when he shouldnt even have been in the damn thing, 50 some points from a defense is bull shit and Im calling shenanigans.  Oh well atleast I am the only one who actually beat him so he didnt have a perfect season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my 3 week long Christmas was very good.  The week before Christmas we headed up to the R-I-C for my families Christmas, it was good times with good people and good food.  Got to hang out with my godson Micah and that was really good also saw my boys John and Jason.  It was good to be back home even if just for 2 days.  Then Laura and I had Christmas on Christmas Eve and day, she took good care of me and I surprised her with her CD player for her car.  I worked all the holidays this winter so I was at work for part of Christmas.  We cut out after work heading for PA and her family with a quick stop in Richmond to say hey to my fam and grab some grub.  We were crusing along at about 70 mph when a herd of deer (yes a damn herd) decided to walk out in front of us.  I missed the first one but tagged the next and boy did he get us good.  The passenger front light casings were all busted the quarter panel was dented to hell as was the passenger front door which no longer opens all the was and the damn thing even dented the back door.  Oh yeah how could I forget he shit all down the side of the car too def cant forget that one.  The good news was that there was no interior damage so we could still cruise on up to the inlaws.  We get there and her whole family is there so it was good to see them after the shitty (literally) ride up.  I couldnt wait to get showered and changed and just hit the hay, so i go to pick up my suitcase and thing hey this is bigger than i thought.  I look up to see Laura look at me then at the suitcase and say "oh no".  DAMMIT.  She left my suitcase in VA Beach, Merry Christmas Salty.  So i didnt beat her I just went to bed and got up the next morning and broke my mother in laws towel rack for good measure.  Oh by the way did I tell you that Ive changed my last name to Griswald.  However, the rest of the time spent there was great, I finally got to hang out with my niece Emma and she loves me so it was great.  It sucked to leave after having such a good time but we had to head back.  We had the car checked before we left to make sure it was fine to drive back and it was for the first 45 minutes of the trip.  The car  broke down and that was fun.  We have great insurance so we were only out of it for about an hour, my inlaws lent us a car and we left ours up there to get fixed so everything worked out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that it has been a great holiday season and I hope it has for all of you peeps.  I still dont have my damn 360 and thats the only thing that has sucked.  Hope all is well with you out there and keep it gangsta.

So Ill give the same ol excuse everyone who goes awol from blogging, I was busy.  Work has been bending me over lately, I never thought Id say "I long for the good ol' days of the TVM.  Damn I had it made back then. Good hours nice people bullshit stories, but hey now my checks are twice the size and so is the pain in my ass.  Im on call this week, so my Halloween was fun but Ill remember it in the morning there for it could have been better.  I got 16 hours of overtime last week and I got called out from 130 am to 530am on Sat/Sun for 3 fires a car overturned and a double stabbing.  Oh yeah and then I had to work my normal 11-8 shift on Sunday, fun fucking fun.  The kracker is a pissed puppy lately.  On top of that the Redskins got raped by the friggin Giants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But everything is not bad in the land of Salty, it was indeed Halloween and I had the day off and it was good.  We had chilli and watched Halloween and carved a pumpkin and had one damn trick or treater so Ive got candy for a week.  I am also getting a new schedule in the next week so Ill only be nighside one night and then all mid-type shifts so thats cool.  I have also been enjoying the horror movies on AMC and the 100 scariest moments in movies on Bravo.  Good stuff. So i dont have much more to add its actually been kinda quite around here.  We had another officer shot and killed in the area.  This one was a total act of random violence a man walked up to a cop on a call and shot him point blank in the head.  The world of news is definalty getting a bit old for me.  The wife and I have been talking kids (no time in the near future just getting to know how the other feels about them and when we think we want them so I dont want any gossip or "oh my god" replies) and I really dont think I can be doing this job and have little ritz kracker bits, so I am thinking of moving on into something else.  So yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are in to rocking out with your thingy out check out the new Hinder, Coheed and Cambria and Thousand Foor Krunch.  Oh yeah and I got a new drinking game for  you download Pyscosticks "beer" and everytime they say beer fucking drink.  Oh yeah other bands of note Sparta, Underoath, Devildriver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So thats it for tonite, hope you enjoyed your dose of Saltyness, oh yeah, watch Over There its the shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace out Bitches!!!!!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15308623-113082516037420430?l=saltykracker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/feeds/113082516037420430/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15308623&amp;postID=113082516037420430' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/113082516037420430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/113082516037420430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/2005/11/back-in-saddle.html' title='Back in the Saddle'/><author><name>SaltyKracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07614640971474305591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15308623.post-112873681125641490</id><published>2005-10-07T21:58:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-10-07T22:06:25.916-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Pink Bunnies</title><content type='html'>&lt;img alt="you're so dumb" src="http://images.quizilla.com/Y/yourgoodfriend/1041831827_ouresodumb.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you are the "you're so dumb" happy bunny.&lt;br /&gt;you are brutal in your words and enjoy putting&lt;br /&gt;others down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://quizilla.com/users/yourgoodfriend/quizzes/which%20happy%20bunny%20are%20you?/"&gt;which happy bunny are you?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;brought to you by&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15308623-112873681125641490?l=saltykracker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/feeds/112873681125641490/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15308623&amp;postID=112873681125641490' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112873681125641490'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112873681125641490'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/2005/10/pink-bunnies.html' title='Pink Bunnies'/><author><name>SaltyKracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07614640971474305591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15308623.post-112873646270783918</id><published>2005-10-07T21:49:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-10-07T21:54:22.713-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Reinventing the Steel</title><content type='html'>Sup folks.  It is drawing closer to halloween and I realized that I am on call that week.  Super! That means no pumpkin ale for me (actually it tastes like ass so Im ok with that)  Just so you know my ass hurts right now, Ive started riding the bike again and the seat is not working for me.  For all my beer drinking friends check out Psycosticks song "Beer" its pretty bad but pretty sweet.  Oh for those who dont know things arnt that much better in a 41 market versus a 127 the only difference is I work more for just a little bit more pay.  But things are going very well here and I like it.  I worked the Taylor Behl case which was hard because I went to VCU and I love VCU and then I had to be there when they found her body.  On the upside I saw about 7 people from WRIC which I knew from when I interned there so I thanked them for the knowledge expecially Brad who told me to get out of the business.

Its soon fall (atleast here in VA) and that means it is the Saltykrackers favorite time of year.  Football as started and my beloved Redskins are 2-0, don't expect that to last to long but they beat the Cowboys and really thats all that matters right now.  Plus UVA is undefeated and Notre Dame doesnt suck this year.  Second my wife got a job and that means more money for me to spend on shit I dont need.  But probably the best thing about this time of year is Halloween.   Im ready for wall to wall episodes of bad horror movies.  First of all Id like to let everyone know that Return of the Living Dead 4 &amp; 5 which were supposed to be released in the theaters are not and are being shown back to back on the Sci-Fi Channel on Oct 15th.  Go check em out.  With that being said I went in search of some classic horror movies and some new cheesy ones at the video store.  First things first Blockbuster has the WORST selection of horror movies ever.  So I went to Movie Time down the street where I found Return of the Living Dead 1.  Now this is not a true horror movie more of a spoof of George Romeros Night of the Living Dead which is one of my favorite movies and series. Anyway its a good movie and I rented it.  I also rented Jack Frost 2.  This is not the sequel to the Michael Keaton as a snowman movie, this is part 2 of what is becoming a cult classic movie about a serial killing mutant snowman.  CLASSIC! Part 2 was more of a comedy but i highly recommend it.  Plus where else are you doing to see a snowman give birth to killer snowballs.  So i hope everyone take some time this fall to check out a few good "bad" horror movies or the real classics like the Halloween series (not 3) The Living Dead series (if Land of the Dead is still in a theatre near  you check it out) April Fools Day and the Evil Dead series.  Also see if your cable provider has the Horror Channel, its a new channel that is strictly for horror fans, if you dont get it their is a petition on the webpage for you to get it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So peace out and get into the spirit that is Halloween&lt;br /&gt;(Unless of course you are one of those religious types that think its the devils night, then go lock yourself in your house with your bible and pray for the rest of our souls or whatever it is you types like do when complaining about others having fun.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Salty One&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15308623-112734767431461631?l=saltykracker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/feeds/112734767431461631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15308623&amp;postID=112734767431461631' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112734767431461631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112734767431461631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/2005/09/monster-mash.html' title='Monster Mash'/><author><name>SaltyKracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07614640971474305591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15308623.post-112621843180065430</id><published>2005-09-08T18:15:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-09-08T18:30:46.336-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Beautiful Day</title><content type='html'>Im back bitches!!! But I dont know for how long, actually I haven't left and as of right now I dont know if Im going anywhere. However, I am going to volunteer to go help our sister station in New Orleans, WWL. The station is gone, as is about 80% of the employees homes and last I heard they still hadnt spoken to some people who work there. I havent gone yet because Ive had family obligations to take care of, but I def want to go down there and help out and let some of the people down there get a break and try to get things back to normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway thats not why Beautiful Day was picked as the topic of the blog. Its the first day of the new football season and Ive actually got all 3 of my fantasy teams in order. The Saltykrackers are ready to suck ass in all 3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should apologize for the long delay in blogs Ive been busy finishing up things around the apartment. Who knew that 100 more square feet wouldnt be enough for all the stuff that fit in the old apartment. We had a mad dash to finish it up as a bunch of my college buddies came down for labor day at the beach. The water was to dangerous to get in so we sat around and 4 of us killed 2 cases of beer and had a number of other adult beverages. It was great times. This weekend I head to the Outer Banks of NC to hang with my parents and then it wil probably be off to the N.O.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyway I think i have to go and finally do my damn story for the day. So good luck and be safe Ash and B-Rock and everyone else who is helping out and doing things in the Gulf Coast. Oh yeah everyone keep my uncle in your thoughts he is a search and rescue EMT from Richmond who has been sent down specifically for recovery which means no rescue just dead bodies, I cant imagine what he is going through and I hope he can deal with what lays before him. (Sorry about throwing that in there its just something I was thinking out loud in silence on a computer)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace Out Peeps,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hail to the Redskins&lt;br /&gt;Hail Victory&lt;br /&gt;Hail to the Redskins&lt;br /&gt;Fight for Ol' DC&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15308623-112621843180065430?l=saltykracker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/feeds/112621843180065430/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15308623&amp;postID=112621843180065430' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112621843180065430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112621843180065430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/2005/09/beautiful-day.html' title='Beautiful Day'/><author><name>SaltyKracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07614640971474305591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15308623.post-112466752371688954</id><published>2005-08-21T19:23:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-08-21T19:38:43.720-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Hit Me Baby One More Time</title><content type='html'>Ok so it's been a long while since I've blogged.  Its been hectic trying to get the apartment up and going and my work schedule is pretty tough here.  Things are good it looks like the wife is gonna have two very good job offers and that is pretty much whats been up.  Oh I'd also like to apologize for the random rant that was my blog last time.  The title Bring Your Own Stereo is from a Jimmies Chicken Shack album.  Just so you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Id like to update my peeps whats going on with my good buddy David Brockman.  He and his wife will be having a baby tomorrow (August 22nd).  He has also quit his job at the Fox station in Nashville to go back to school and get his masters.  He is a lucky son of a bitch.  This also bring up the fact that my best friend from high schools wife is prego as is my good buddy B-Rock.  I am extremely happy for all of my friends who are popping out the kids or loading up the oven.  A child is a great thing and its even better when other people are having them.  See this way my wife can play with kids and yet not have any of her own.  Now I would like kids just not anytime soon.  See all of these people I speak of are older than me, granted some not by much, and it fits in with what they are doing.  I on the other hand am not ready for the kids and luckily neither is the wife.  So to my good peeps who are producing offspring congratulations and keep it up, cause the more you have the longer I get without.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brock brought up The Transporter 2 which I want to see also, I have the first and think its pretty good because I dont have to think just watch, so go give it a try.  Also, the xbox 360 is a better buy at 399 because you get about 200 dollars in excesories for free, this being said I am going to trade in my PS2 for credit on one so if anybody wants some older PS2 games holla at me and see if you want any that Ive got. (Prince of Persia, both SoComs are just some)  So everyone get an xbox 360 it comes with live and we can have parties online and I can talk to people I know and like once again.  YAY :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For anyone in the biz we have a producer spot opening up here in Norfolk at WVEC, the number one station in Hampton Roads not WTKR the last station and a joke here.  Some will get why I said that others wont, some will get mad and I dont care cause Im an ass.  Peace Out Good Peeps!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salty&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15308623-112466752371688954?l=saltykracker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/feeds/112466752371688954/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15308623&amp;postID=112466752371688954' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112466752371688954'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112466752371688954'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/2005/08/hit-me-baby-one-more-time.html' title='Hit Me Baby One More Time'/><author><name>SaltyKracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07614640971474305591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15308623.post-112396235511775637</id><published>2005-08-13T14:49:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-08-13T15:45:55.126-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Bring Your Own Stereo</title><content type='html'>So it has taken me a few days to post a new blog. I have found out that my computer wont let me email or write in text boxes so I cant blog or email at home. So here at work were I am so busy is where I will fill you people with my ramblings and thoughts. It also appears that more people have realized who I am though Ill never say who I am the Word and Peace Bitches should give it away. Another note here, from now on the titles of my blogs will be either song titles or album names feel free to try and guess the song/title or cheat with the internet, which ever you feel to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now back to the purpose of this post. Music. Is it me or does music just suck ass right now. I bring this up because of Cores post of the top 50 albums and realized I had 2 and both were Eminems. Now I agree with some of the albums up there, however, I feel that music now is just not that good. The 'The" bands are killing me The Killers, The White Stripes and the like winning rock awards and topping the charts just kills me. These bands are not rock, not in its truest form atleast. I have done some serious thinking about the state of rock and realized that many different things have affected the aggressiveness of popular rock. First off the war and Sept 11th I feel have cause a reduction in hard "angry" rock. The late 90's were a great time for rock bands Godsmack, System of a Down and Staind had all just released their first albums. Even bands like Third Eye Blind and Matchbox Twenty were out with good mainstream rock albums and then tragedy. Now I am not here to talk bad about peoples musical taste, Im just here to try and figure out what happened to my "rock". Kid Rock went from an American Bad Ass to a country rock act. Rage Against the Machine broke up and the band members formed AudioSlave who do pretty basic rock not bad but far from RATM. I just want some rock these emo punk bands need to realize that life isnt over and these pop punk bands need to be shot. If MTV actually plays your video during the day you are not a real rock band. Another thing is bands becoming political, please stop. Green Day STOP. Green Day is a band I dont quite understand. They go from a good fun little punkish band to a political band aiming their views at Americas youth. Now lets take a look back about 10 years ago when Green Day was good with an album named Dookie and great songs about sexual frustration and masturbation. So now fast forward to them being 30 and pretty much a band who feels its ok to put out their political views and young people think they know what they are talking about. The Beastie Boys are another band that has fallen into this category no more Girls Girls Girls but now its Shit Shit Shit. I really dont know how I got here or even why I chose to write about this, I guess its the lack of quality music that I like and being force fed this monkey shit.  So now Im over all of this and sorry to disapoint with a really random blog.  Oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way we are getting our first hurricane up this way, it looks as if its going to miss us and stay out at sea.  Which is good because the day that it may hit is my day off and I dont want to work.  They do the 12 hours on and 12 hours off here because we are so close to the coast that we dont have to drive 4 hours to get there.  So yeah its been real venting and I promise most of my posts wont be like this I just wanna rock.  Oh yeah Twisted Sister bitches.  On a rock note Im trying to go see Ted Nugent at the end of the month alright is it Wango is it Tango.  So yeah gotta love songs about sex.  Until next time, Peace Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salty&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15308623-112396235511775637?l=saltykracker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/feeds/112396235511775637/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15308623&amp;postID=112396235511775637' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112396235511775637'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112396235511775637'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/2005/08/bring-your-own-stereo.html' title='Bring Your Own Stereo'/><author><name>SaltyKracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07614640971474305591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15308623.post-112371909192091263</id><published>2005-08-10T20:04:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-08-10T20:11:31.926-04:00</updated><title type='text'>New Chapter</title><content type='html'>So here I am. A new place with few friends and hours of time on my hands. I have spent my time reading peeps from the old days blogs and thought, hey I can do that. Now these peeps from the old days I speak of are seasoned bloggers and in my readings I have found that more of my crew from the old days (last month) are actually on here and blogging. (Honestly in the end the whole reason I signed up was to leave a smart ass comment on someones blog and if you know me you know that Ill do pretty much anything to get one of my smart ass comments across) Though Sportslady and Core are the blogs I frequent I have found a Tarheel and a Tvwannabe in the mix and also my good homeboy rambling from East Alabama on here, plus it appears that two of my favorite peeps are lurkers who just like to gossip and really never have anything to say in person and it apears so on page too. So I dont know how I got here but I have a lot to say and not that many people to say it to, so here I am.  This is my first post others will follow and hopefully be better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace Out Bitches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SaltyKracker&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15308623-112371909192091263?l=saltykracker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/feeds/112371909192091263/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15308623&amp;postID=112371909192091263' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112371909192091263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15308623/posts/default/112371909192091263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltykracker.blogspot.com/2005/08/new-chapter.html' title='New Chapter'/><author><name>SaltyKracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07614640971474305591</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry></feed>
