I realized that I wrote a lot about moving to Hawaii yesterday, but not actually about what it was like in Hawaii. Here’s the thing about Hawaii if you take away the beaches, the sun, the weather and everything else you are in an overpriced Alabama. Hawaiian people are stupid. Here’s how you know the Hawaiian people are stupid, they eat Spam. Spam is available everywhere in Hawaii. McDonalds has Spam McMuffins, Burger King has a Spam Whopper and Taco Bell has a Spam Chimichanga. Everywhere you go it’s Spam and anyone who has ever ate Spam knows that it’s fucking terrible. Honestly, I think if you met the CEO of Spam and asked him how he got his money he would do one of two things A) he would apologize or B) he would lie about it. There is no way anyone on the board of directors of Spam actually uses their product, they are most likely ashamed to be on the board of directors at Spam which proves that it’s a shitty product.
Whenever someone asks me if I surfed when I lived in Hawaii I tell them no and when they ask me why I tell them because Hawaiian people will kill you. read more »

I found this book that I haven’t read in a long time and I was leafing through the pages and I found the one way plane ticket to Hawaii that I bought way back when. Looking back it’s been three years since that flight and it’s crazy how much has changed. In some ways I don’t even feel like I’m the same person, in other ways I feel like I am finally doing what I was trying to do way back then.
When I moved back to Wisconsin in 2005, the plan was to stay at my dad’s for awhile and make some money. Once I saved up some money I was going to move to either Seattle or LA. The idea being that I was going to start my screenwriting career. I thought Wisconsin would be a great place to go because the winters fucking suck and I could just sit home in the cold all the time and just do some writing. This, of course, never happened. You start hanging out with some dudes and you just end up drinking way too much like always. I think that I’ve always had some really good ideas and if I ever sat down and wrote them that I could be a screenwriter, but I am a master procrastinator and if I get the chance to go and get drunk instead I usually take it. Anyways, time goes by and I don’t write a thing. I don’t save a thing and I really have no idea what I am doing.
Then I meet this girl. read more »

I’ve heard this like 10 times this offseason. Randy Johnson, Derek Lowe and Brian Fuentes were all players said to be uninterested in playing in Milwaukee. I just don’t get it, Wisconsin fucking rocks.
Here’s five reasons free agents should sign with Milwaukee:
- Your money spends just as good here. You are getting ridiculous amounts of money to throw a baseball. Who cares where you throw it?
- CC Sabathia loved it here. Do you think you’re better than him?
- JJ Hardy does pretty good for himself.
- When people are doing this before the game:
They probably don’t care if you won or lost.
- Seriously, look at this.

Who cares if we’re terrible? Who cares if Matt is the #3 QB? Who cares that we’re better off losing and getting a better draft pick? This Sunday is my birthday. This Sunday is the last game Holmgren will coach in Seattle. This Sunday the Seahawks play the Jets. AND ITS ON TV IN WISCONSIN!! YES YES YES YES!!!!!

Paul Ryan. I’ve actually met this guy and been in his office. When I met him, at a White House function, he said that my dad was doing “the lord’s work”. (Yep. That’s how we do it in this family.)
Anyways, he voted yes to the bailout plan, the only Republican in Wisconsin to do so despite the protests of his constituents. He’s not been very popular for it, but this is completely unfair. The fact is that something needs to happen or the market will collapse. Ryan was the leader of an alternative bailout plan that got shot down and after that happened tried to make the current one better. He didn’t like what eventually came out, but said that it “wasn’t enough to be a laissez-faire conservative and let Rome burn . . . This bill is not perfect, but doing nothing is far worse than passing this bill.” The Wall Street Journal has an op-ed up about him.
Mr. Ryan, perhaps the free market’s truest friend in Congress, earlier this week voted to help rescue that free market. He hated the Paulson plan, but hated more the economic crash he is convinced will follow inaction. And in casting his “yes” vote on Monday, he knew what was coming: “The easiest thing would be to vote no and go hide in my office and watch the markets collapse. I will suffer politically for this, but I will sleep at night.”
This is hurting Paul Ryan here in Wisconsin and maybe it should, but he has the best interests of our state, the taxpayers and the country in mind. We can’t affford a crisis and he knows that. That’s why he still has my vote.
