Das’ brilliant! (and not spelled Booty according to Wikipedia)

Behind the scenes of the awesome Nike commercial

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

TheOriginalWinger.com has a story on the guy behind the camera of my favorite commercial of late. Interesting to find that he’s just a normal guy that got to play soccer with these current day legends while wearing a 10 pound helmet cam.

I was excited just to be in the stadium watching Ronaldhino, and this guy’s getting to play the game with him. Even though it’s a total setup, it’s still badass.

They also have a link to some of the behind the scenes stuff. Those guys just kicking it around for fun and this commercial must have been pretty cool.

I love this video

Jammed

Not that kind of jammed, though. The kind that you do to your finger in a soccer game. My right pointer finger is swollen and hurts to bend. See..

Weekend

Monday, May 5th, 2008

It’s been a long one again. Sat was nice, went grocery shopping with Audzilla, sent Becky out for crawfish while she was down for a nap. Ate tons of big crawfish that night, found out that mushrooms in the boil are the bomb, and hung out later and had a drink with the neighbors. Dealt with the kiddo throwing up while down before heading to bed ourselves.

Sunday, got up and moving, made sure my soccer gear was clean and got ready. Ran off to the store for some medicine for the kiddo, since she started having some watery poos, and there was talk of a stomach bug going around school.

Soccer game went okay, we lost 4-2 on a lucky woman goal, but poor Randy went off and broke his arm on a bad fall. Thanks to the Boomshots people that stayed and shuttled him off to the hospital. I had some good saves, and the team had a decent showing against the 1st place team in the Northwest. We play another team from Kingwood next weekend (why are we playing on Mother’s Day and not Memorial Day dammit?)

Got home and shuttled the kiddo off to bed, finished up dinner and pulled a couch potato and watched Star Wars Ep 3 on Spike. This has become a new Sunday night ritual. Since we’d never seen Ep 3, we stayed up later than normal watching Anakin become Vader.
