I actually made the navigation bar match on all the pages (with the exception of the photo gallery… that’s a big pain)
Other than that, the storms that went through were cool, and I saw a rainbow!
So, today at work, I told a co-worker/softball team mate (Cindy) that I was going to hit a home run tonight. Well, I’m due!… Last season I started off with 2 Grand slams in the first game… (I treat the 1st game last season like Al Bundy did with his 4 touchdowns in one game) So, my 2nd pitch with the bases loaded, I hit out out over the left field fence. 
Also, the pitcher on our team, Missy, who only knew me from softball found it funny to know how much of a computer online geek type person I really am (at my b-day party). So yah, she checks out mattymo.com from time to time, which everyone should do of course, and gave me a hard time because I had no pictures from softball up in the gallery! So, hey, be careful what you wish for! I didn’t get many photos from the night, but it’s a start… (John from work took some too)
I rearranged the main gallery page, and made a sports album with some sub-albums, with our softball team getting their own album with sub-albums for each week. HAH! say that 10 times real fast! (and no don’t say “that” 10 times, you know what I mean, smart ass. 
)
So, clicky on the Photo Gallery Link above and find your way through “sports” into softball and check out some of the pix!
Oh, yah, we lost tonight 15-11, I had 7 or 8 RBI’s, so I found out how to bat again. We had some really bad umps, and our D kind of fell apart, other than that… it was still fun!
My friend Tom did it when he hit this milestone…. Taking a picture of 100,000 miles rolling over on the ol ‘97 Taurus… It’s a lil hard to take a picture and drive, but here’s a before, during (shaky) and after…

Yah, neato… now my car is gonna fall apart 
Hey, check it out, I actually changed something on my site! I put a link to my photo gallery on my Navbar!
whoa!
And sign my guestbook!!
Well, the coach from my Thursday Co-Ed Softball team asked me to play on his Tuesday Men’s team in the interim… I played the first game for this team tonight. Ugh! We got smeared 22-6. I did score two of the runs, so at least that gives me a warm fuzzy. Some Bullshit umpiring (I was called out at 1st base, and the first baseman was about two feet away from the base… BOTH umps said he was on the base!!) and stupid playing by the other team. Well, not so much stupid, but, pointless. Yes, our pitcher was not pitching strikes, and he walked in a lot of runs. But say, hey, you are up by 10 runs, and the ball is close, try swinging at the ball! So, yah, it was weak. .
I saw matrix reloaded over the weekend, was quite interesting, and it just makes you think about the next one! Great Trilogy… up there with Star Wars, LOTR, etc. Grilled out a couple nights, and had my radio show.
last Thursday, we played co-ed softball… we won! like 20-11 or something… So you get the ups with the downs. This week we play the team we beat in the championship last year, so while it’s a BIG game, it doesn’t really mean a whole lot since its the regular season. hehe. I will have my camera at the game this week, so expect to see some pix!
Opeth, Lacuna Coil, Beyond the Embrace…. Last Wednesday. Wow. Opeth was just amazing! Just watching them, was like, well, I was thinking, wow, and, um, thinking this must have been what it was like to see Led Zep in their heyday or Floyd or something. Was just amazing. Lacuna Coil put on a solid show, and Beyond the Embrace… 3 guitars…. was damn cool.
Yah, so,
Ankle still hurts
I got some sun yesterday
I was on call last weekend, nothing really bad happened
I believe i’m going to the cubs game on saturday at wrigley field!
It’s like, concert week…
Strapping Young Lad and Meshuggah last Thursday night in Milwaukee… I missed softball for this… SYL was superb! They blew Meshuggah out of the water! It was great, SYL was worth the drive to Milwaukee and missing softball! btw, our team lost, 9-3.
Friday it was the “celebration” of sis selling the restaurant… but the sale did not close. It is supposed to happen tomorrow (crossing fingers) So, my helpin out days are done. It’ll be nice to have some free time back!
Saturday was purge day… a recent chain of events caused it to be motivation time to get the more common area of the basement here cleaned up, as well as the garage… while I did purge a lot of stuff, there’s still some work to do, but it looks a LOT nicer down here! Good thing it’s large item garbage week here in lil ol Waunakee! On Saturday night, a friend came in from out of town and I was lucky enough to work on her computer for her, as it had the Klez virus on it… what a pain in the butt! But, hey, it’s all fixed now!
Sunday night, Motorhead and Anthrax with Havochate. Great show all around, Motorhead gets to start to sound the same. Anthrax, I really love them, their new album is great, they played a lot of new stuff, and some old school stuff too… and Havochate opened up, they are a new band out of NYC… great thrashin stuff!… Before the show started though, I walked down the stairs from the balcony, and missed the step on a little landing area, and my weak ass ankle twisted and I fell all the way down. OUCH!!!! Yes, I have not sprained my ankle like this bad in a while. but, I couldn’t leave or ice it or anything. So I suffered, sat down when I could… ugh. I got home, and whoa, swollen big time! *sigh*
Tonight was the first Tuesday in a long time that I didn’t really have anything going on! Was normally bartendin’ night, if not, it was a concert or something…
I need a haircut.
my ankle hurts
I get to see Opeth, Lacuna Coil and Beyond the Embrace tomorrow, then it’s concert free for a while.
Softball game on Thursday at 6pm… i hope i can run by then!
enough of the quick thoughts… I’m out.
once again, lost a long post I had going… it kind of pisses me off!
Anyways… not a whole lot new going on. Bunch of concerts coming up, was going to new england metal fest and NYC for some show this weekend, but it didn’t work out, and it’s better off to not spend the money.
bout it!
bye
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!
And to all other Mothers… Happy Mom’s Day to you too!
we won our softball game tonight! 15-10. all around good, fun game against our rival team. a few good sportscenter plays even!
Check this out!
I finally got them all right, after a few mistakes… but, it’s kind of a neat site, and nowhere (the area the site depicts) that I would want to visit in the next couple years!
Well, this is my 100th Post here on my Blog. Kind of funny, because the episode of Coach that airs on FOX 47 today is episode #100. Why do I know this? I pull the programs for the day and get them ready for airing. Why do you care? I don’t know, do you? Post a comment about it!
I just installed some new RAM in this beast I call a computer, and it has been not too stable. I’ve been changins settings in the BIOS to make it work before I just punt and send the crap back, but actually this time it seems to be working. (KNOCK ON WOOD!)
I got a new camera this week. I literally just took it out of the box when my Dad rang the doorbell to pick me up for the Brewers game. I grabbed the box and my old cam (they use the same batteries and memory card) and got some time to play with it on the ride. I took a bunch of pictures and put the decent ones in a gallery for your viewing pleasure!
Click me! for that neato Gallery!
We lost our softball game tonight. It was a late one… 10pm! Of the 6 females on our team, only 1 was there! 2 at a concert, 1 sick, one out on business. We made due with some substitutes… The score was 9-3. So, yeah, our offense was bad, a few errors on defense, but it wasn’t TOO bad! You aren’t going to win in co-ed softball with 3 runs, that’s for sure! And, I was 0 for 3. Struck out (embarrassing!), grounded out, and actually hit the ball pretty solid, and well, the guy made a great catch in left field, so yup, “flied out” Blah.
So, there, post number 100, cool huh?
