well, the only thing that could make the k-tok better than last time would be to share it with friends. fishing was epic. weather was spectacular. food was plentiful. rum was sweet. smokes were smooth. and beer was cold (once we got back to anchorage).

fin is here. she's just under 3 months now and quite the handful. and by handful, i mean mouthful...of razor sharp puppy teeth. so far so good. she loves to find dead shit. sniffs out the pheasant wings i hide like a champ. and is already kicking lou's ass around the house. i can't wait to get her on some live birds.

hey friends and enemies. it's been awhile. no real fishing trips to report lately, but we have run out to the coast a couple times. we don't really know what we're doing and deemed both trips as "science missions", but we had fun.
keep in mind that in all these pictures the wind was blowing over 60mph and it was raining like a nebraska tornado was about to throw some cattle or a barn door at us.
so don't tell our moms that we were hanging out on the jetties...

well, pops bagged a sheep.
the routine was pretty standard. try to find one early before the wind started blowing 100 miles per hour. it didn't take long...for the wind, i mean.
we saw a few groups at about 800 miles. and they didn't give us any stalking opportunities which is what we were really hoping for. instead a group of four poked their heads up over a cliff at about 200 yards, straight up.
dad missed a bigger ewe. but dropped a smaller ram. 200 yards up a wall to get him felt like 2 miles.

like i said, it was a smaller ram, so there aren't any trophy pics. still, it was a great hunt. and i'd love do it again. one of these days pops and i are gonna get that trophy animal. we joke about how we make the most out of the 10 second window we get to make shit happen. someday. someday. we'll have that chance to call in a huge bull elk or rattle in a big time muley with plenty of time to set up and make a great shot.
it'll happen one of these times.

top ten movies of 2010...

2011-01-02T01:18:00.000-08:00

so, last year i saw 30 something of the year's top grossing movies. that seemed like a lot, right? yeah, i guess it was. this year i sat through only 18. i conclude that the number was much lower for two reasons. first, i was busy. second, hollywood sucked this year. i mean, hollywood sucks every year, but this year was just ridiculous.
i'll try to come up with ten good ones, but probably won't get too far.

iron man 2
meh. ho-hum. comic book movie + sucker = i'm not gonna say i didn't like it.
don't swing and miss again with the villains, though, or we'll have issues. leave the horrible russian accents to cheesy james bond bad guys, ok mickey?
meh. ho-hum. i'll buy the blu-ray because that's what suckers do.

inception
the people that think they are smarter than this film can save their issues for the next mensa meeting. i was entertained, which is the first reason i go to movies. then followed closely by a chance to see angelina jolie's ass while eating sour patch kids.

the town
gawbage bawston bank robbas. good story. great casting.
it felt like something like this could happen at any moment:

kick ass
you think i would have a top ten movies of the year without an entry from sweet nic cage?! you know i've read the comic books, so the movie was bound to disappoint. it didn't. cursing children. good stuff.

due date
this year's hangover. you saw it. everyone saw it. these movies will eventually go the way of adam sandler but until then, i'm in.

hot tub time machine
the sleeper. maybe you didn't see it. you should. dirty jokes. and it feels good to put john cusack in this list.

scott pilgrim
great flick. if you haven't seen it, you probably won't...because you're so cool.
go nerds. go nerds. go nerds.

that's all i got. granted i haven't yet seen true grit or black swan or social network. i'm told they will all crack the top five.

high water unicorns.

2010-12-21T17:12:00.000-08:00

really early.
really, really early.
lots of rain. river was on the rise but somehow it happened. twice.
some things are better left a mystery like stonehenge, sasquatch, DB cooper, and brandon roy's knee cartilage.

more flies.

2010-12-01T17:07:00.001-08:00

of course these are a little sloppy and can only get better. but it sure is fun to watch them come together. spinning hackle and dubbing on a hook is quickly becoming one of life's little pleasures.
i love the prince nymph. and by love, i mean, i've put close to million of these buggers into the trees along the banks of the deschutes. hopefully, i won't have to buy anymore. ever.

slow clap, nic...slow clap, sir.

i can't play that video and not pull this classic scene out of the vault.
i give you the greatest scene and accent in the history of hollywood:

never leave us, nic. i know you won't.

greg oden is soft.

2010-11-21T19:54:00.000-08:00

saw nic batum today. i told him to tell rich cho to tell brandon to tell greg to use some of his millions and buy some tony robbins self-esteem dvds and then stop being such a pussy and actually act like you want to be a basketball player.
i had enough of oden's mopey-dopey, chin-down bullshit last year.
this so-called "great work ethic" that the blazer brass talk about seems like a bunch of crap from what i can see and/or read about.
prove me wrong, greg.

my list of things greg should've done to prove to blazer fans he gives a shit about being a great player or even slightly begin to live up to the huge amount of potential you had four years ago:

1. find a mentor. a RECENTLY retired NBA big man. someone to teach you toughness and moves. charles oakley comes to mind. jesus, befriend one of these guys, reach out. you can't tell me that even if they are employed by another team, in the off-season patrick ewing or hakeem wouldn't give out some lessons. RIP maurice lucas, but we all know he wasn't 100% for the last few years. why joel doesn't slap greg into shape is beyond me?
2. find a mean-streak. get tougher. join a boxing gym for shitsake. anything would be better than laying on your under-sized couch at home. if you were cleared to lift and jog, you can punch a bag or spar a midget or something.
3. travel with the team. i've heard a bunch of different excuses on this one. but perception is reality on this one. last year no one saw greg. "flying is bad for his knees"...bullshit. the blazers can take a few seats out of Blazer One and install a massage table for him for all i care. no reason not to be on the road with the team rehabbing, watching tape, being coached, developing with teammates...learning the game.
4. relax. don't you get it that if it was better known that you really were kicking ass at rehabbing no one would have anything to say. except that even though you are injured, you are still busting your ass and earning that huge contract. being a head-case or being "depressed", as i've heard, is no excuse. you are a multi-million dollar athlete, your life is just fine.
5. want it. just want it, man. if i felt like you wanted it, everything would be ok. the drive. prove to me that you have it. i'm a sponge to every video and interview i can find and not once have i ever heard you talk like a winner, like winning is all that matters, like losing makes you throw up, like second place is last place, like winning is all that matters. not once.

anyway, yeah, i saw nic batum today. i like his game.

going south for the next few weeks so the good folks at caddis fly can teach me to tie some bugs. i've been putting off learning for too long. i blame call of duty. we got in some home-cooking and some fishing.

i hiked in looking for sasquatch again. i didn't find him. but i did see something odd. my eyes were wet and bloody from the thickest forest of blackberry bushes in the northwest, but i managed one decent picture from a distance:

i told him i wasn't interested in his recent deer kill and he let me go with a warning.
then i caught a couple nice fish.
and ate some dairy queen.

2010-10-18T18:46:00.000-07:00

i used to loathe driving.
however, lately trips out east haven't felt so long.
sure it's still hundreds of miles, but it ain't so bad.
technology surely has something to do with it, but not everything.
a couple hours of a nice, new ipod playlist makes time fly.
a couple PTI and moldy chum podcasts and it's time to stop for some grub.
even an hour or so of sweet silence maybe with the window down just to see how long it takes my face to freeze as i climb the ledge outside of pendleton, and i'm damn near there.
pick a campsite, fire up the coleman, stuff some extra blankets in the sleeping bag, and flip through the latest issue of the drake before dozing off.
hopeful for a couple bumps in the morning.

my favorite month of the year. the blazers are gettin' warmed up. the huskers haven't let me down yet. the mc rib should be coming back soon. and so far, i've caught more steelhead than NFL parlays won.
we hit the deschutes over the weekend with a few hundred of our closest friends.
for shitsake river etiquette is way down these days. knuckle-head campers in every run. we gave it a few hours, landed a beautiful native, high-fived, and headed back to maupin for some tasty, tasty pizza.
we're gonna give it another try this weekend...maybe a different spot, though.

we've been home for a few days now. the normal flora is slowly returning.
we're both feeling pretty good, actually, compared to our first adventure to ixtapa/zihuatanejo. f that dirty, dirty cesspool.
the east cape is a lovely place. there's nothing to do but fish, sleep, eat, swim, sunburn, and fish. sounds pretty perfect,eh?.
i will never be a morning person. but 0600 in baja with huevos rancheros waiting for you poolside as the front loaders launch the pangas on the beach below you is a pretty sweet way to motivate.
we'll be back.

*this post contains no tacos.

the gluttony continued as the weekend went on. on sunday we covered the entire culinary spectrum. hitting steak 'n shake and rudy's bbq in the same day is like watching spaceballs followed by star wars. or having breakfast with ellen page then dinner with gwyneth paltrow. or having mos def cover the beastie boys. or like getting to fish all morning and being content without even a bump.

anyway, i hadn't had steak 'n shake since...shit, it's been years.

this was a giant plate of chicken nachos

next up was torchy's. this was my kind of place. the bathrooms were clean. friendly staff. and i ate something very tasty called a trailer park "trashy" style. the only bad thing i can say about torchy's is that they were sold out of their "show me your taco" t-shirts.

holy frakkin' queso, adama.
texas taco tour 2010 is in the books.
i'll let the pictures do most of the talkin', but overall, the tacos in dallas are damn good. we ate tacos for lunch and dinner everyday until our bodies wouldn't let us. then we switched to spicy BBQ.
our first stop was fuel city. this place is a gas station disguised as a donkey farm disguised as giant beer store disguised as car wash disguised as a taco stand. the tacos were cheap and tasty. however, the surprise winner was a little cup of heaven.
steamed corn with a layer of sour cream, some hot sauce, queso, butter, topped with lemon pepper.
um, probably something normal for that part of northern mexico, but, holy shit, it was tasty.

two thumbs up.

2010-06-22T18:06:00.000-07:00

i needed a fuckin' break. a man can only take so many fucking whiny sick patients, annoying fucking co-workers, fucking oozing abscesses, fucking annoying co-workers, that fucker kobe bryant, fucking rain, an incontinent sweet old pup, fuck you AT&T, and fucking annoying co-workers.
first stop was the uber-hyped diamond lake on thursday. i made good time even with a required stop at the caddis in eugene to pick up some chubbies. i quickly set up camp through a cloud of skeeters. it was just warm enough in middle of each day for the mosquitos to be as thick as fog. i blew my nose today at work, and yeah, there was a mosquito in it.

i fished hard in the float tube that night and all day friday at both ends. the wind was tough and my legs were jello, but i found a few fish. it wasn't epic, but my hands smelled like fish slime, which has been a daily goal of mine ever since i lost my virginity.
overall, diamond lake is fun, beautiful, and full of fish, if you have a boat.
i was up at it early again saturday morning for a couple hours, but decided i needed some moving water. and since i was heading to warm springs for sunday, i went north. i have a secret little skinny stretch of the deschutes near redmond that i hadn't yet touched this year.

so now, this is where my weekend got stupid. as i mentioned, i'd been kicking around in a float tube in the wind for three days, so my legs were goo, and this spot was a bit of a hike. it'd be easier to base jump down the canyon wall, but i didn't have a helmet, just waders and some beef jerky, so i scooted down the shale hoping to not slide into a nest of rattlesnakes.
it worked. i fished. it sucked. i gave it a solid 45 minutes and said "fuuuuuuuuuck". i seriously thought about faking a broken leg and calling in the national guard for an air lift out.

so now, this is where my weekend got seriously fucked up. i was winded, tired, thirsty, defeated, and sweaty. the well-worn path through the thick brush and boulders was narrow and looked snakey, so i was focused. then the hairs on the back of my neck started to stand up. my spidey sense was at defcon 10. although i did notice a car parked up near mine, i hadn't seen a soul.
but now, there were people just ahead of me around the corner. i slowly made the turn as wide as i could, my hand already in my pocket holding my small knife. and i hollered out at the same time i started to hear some rustling. the image of one guy's cock coming out of the other guy's ass has had me crying in the shower all week.

i took a few giant steps back as pants and dust started flying. the pitcher, we'll call him, boss hog, took a header into the thorny bushes determined to hide his face. he unsuccessfully hid down the bank from me in clear sight except for his face, i mumbled something awkward about having to walk through their little love nest still clutching my knife in my pocket.

i wasn't in a safe situation. scenes from trainspotting, basketball diaries, and even bob saget screaming "i used to suck dick for coke!" were racing through my mind.

the catcher, we'll call him, enos, was a little more friendly. as i slowly walked back towards them, my only way out, he pops out rockin' his mullet, a muscle shirt, and a spinnin' rod and offers me a beer. i nervously laughed and asked that him and his boyfriend step back so i could boot-scoot through lover's lane and get the fuck outta hazard county.
they did and i got by them and above them. as i continued to climb out, enos continued to chat me up. he asked me how the fishing was, i said, "shitty", he said he had "just got a big brown". i again laughed and stopped short of responding with something that might have gotten me shot.

i got back to my wheels, noticed a second rig (a tricked-out dodge monster truck with shiny rims) and wondered which guy was responding to the craigslist ad?
then i had to put some gangsta rap on the ipod to calm my nerves, and got the hell outta there.

so with that horrible brokeback afternoon behind me, i continued north to the mecca for the evening. it was lovely as usual. hungry fish on the surface with the big, fuzzy chubbies. still cool, no skeeters, no snakes, cold beer, a 24 hour diner in madras, and things were setting up sweetly for an epic sunday.

so now, this is where my weekend got ridiculous. sunday, we fished all day on some new water and absolutely crushed it. one good day rockin' deschutes trout on dries in the central oregon sunshine will give a man a year's worth of fish mojo. i'm pretty sure i could out-fish ernest hemingway right now.
of course that all changes as soon as i go get my steelhead on.

police report attempt to revive flattened opossum...

2010-03-27T11:54:00.000-07:00

(CNN) -- A Pennsylvania man attempted to resuscitate "a road-killed opossum," state police say.
But this was one possum who wasn't playing possum -- the ugly creature remained dead.
Troopers responding to the scene in Oliver Township on Thursday determined that Donald J. Wolfe, 55, of Brookville, was drunk, according to the police report.
Several witnesses observed Wolfe's failed resurrection of the flattened marsupial, police said. It was not immediately clear how he endeavored to restore the possum's life.
The arresting officer in the incident was unavailable for comment Friday. Attempts to reach Wolfe were also unsuccessful.
Wolfe will be charged with one charge of public drunkenness, police said.

happy 79th.

drawing the line...

this has gone too far. disgusting.

it's well documented within the circle of trust that i have some PTSD related to working with a large population of crack babies' mommas while living in chicago. crack-whore-tainted boob juice was the norm in the special care nursery at my first hospital. when forced to handle it (the juice, not the boob), i used to double-glove, wrap my body in saran wrap, then cry in the shower when i got home from work.
it wasn't pretty.
i've been better lately. maybe it's because there's less of the ol' HIV running around? not sure.
regardless, it's disgusting.
and if you ever want to see me vomit and pass out at the same time...squirt some on me.
maybe that's what i need...some flooding therapy?

two rules.

the rams are on the clock.

2010-01-04T15:45:00.000-08:00

this is a win-win for me. the rams either get the greatest defensive husker of all time. or the trade the pick for an entirely new team.
i approve.

top ten movies of 2009...

2009-12-28T00:18:00.000-08:00

according to imdb and rotten tomatoes, i've seen 32 of the 100 top grossing movies of 2009.
yeah, so roughly, using my calculator watch, i've pumped somewhere in the neighborhood of $700-$800 into regal cinema's stock. yikes.
it's a conservative number considering all the rasinets i eat.
here's a list of my top ten for the year. these aren't in any certain order, unless they are.

star trek. i was worried jj abrams was going to blow this one by hanging leonard nimoy's 107 year old corpse out to dry. i believe it's called jumping the shark, not sure. however, he pulled it off. the story itself with eric bana's character was a little weak, but the dialouge and acting done by the new crew was great. great casting. i love that the director didn't live inside the box . it's great that, after throwing the new crew into bascially an alternate universe...anything is possible. live long and prosper, nerds.

avatar. i didn't let the hype get to me. i wasn't invested. i didn't let myself read any of the early reviews, which resulted in being pleasantly happy with the outcome. firstly, the 3D wasn't captian eo over-the-top. it was subtle, contained in the screen mostly, and provided a very cool depth.
the story has been bashed around a bit, but i didn't feel it brought the movie down. in fact i appreciate a movie that can, while you're watching it, entertain you so much your mind doesn't wander thinking of its real world influences. that being said, the native american, raping mother earth, human greed plot was overflowing. did anyone else notice the scar on the bad guy's face was basically in the shape of a W, as in that dubya?
so, political crap aside, it was a great movie. not one i will run out right away and see again, but it will definetly look cool on blu-ray.

hangover. mike tyson. check. zach galifianakis. check. winner.

inglorious basterds. loved it. the best and only example i need to describe why this movie was truly great...the basement bar scene. wow, a true movie nerd could write a master's thesis on this scene alone.
considering that scene, my man-crush on brad pitt, and this guy:

it would be nearly impossible for this movie to not be great.

district 9. can't wait for the sequel. i hope there's a sequel. there better be a sequel. great story. great sfx. i told people, and by people, i mean other nerds, to go see this movie for the awesome alien weapons alone.
they were sick.

watchmen. this movie came out in 2009? ok.
i wasn't a huge fan of the comic book. it had its moments, but i struggled through it. i understand it's place in the world of nerdom, but it wasn't the loaf of sliced bread some goons were calling it.
however, the movie held up.
subtract a few minutes of staring at dr. manhattan's giant blue penis and you got a top three movie.

mr fox. brilliant. see previous post.

moon. every once and a while a science fiction movie is able to sneak up on me. this one did. great story. great acting. it did a lot without attempting to have a james cameron v. michael bay cock fight.

the hurt locker. this one might win an oscar.

i couldn't come up with a tenth. nothing else seemed worthy...discuss.

it's like a big ship and the water's on fire...

tom waits was speaking of new york city. however, i think, to be more specific, he was describing the condition of my liver after a nice little weekend visit to this violent island.
went to visit chewy, the midget sausage king of new york.
check a blazer game at the garden.
but mostly slept off all the pain from the nights before on nigel's couch.
the evenings and early mornings were numb. the late mornings and afternoons were disgusting.
brocephus jimbo's still hasn't cleaned their tap lines, however the remodeled bathroom was lovely.
it was like i'd never left.
it was balls cold, but my scorching o-ring kept me warm.

the new and improved blazers.
