I just shattered the glass on a straight away two handed alley oop dunk attempt…
Brian threw me a sweet pass off the backboard, I went up, and once I came down on the rim, it popped like a balloon, glass went everywhere… it was a crazy scene
Lansdowne RFC Paintball Outing: August 28th, 2010
This is uncut footage of a match between Team Gavin & Team Austin, being played on the WWII field. The footage shows our war party trying to take out Austin, who is hunkered down in a trench. After Gavin’s gun malfunctioned it was up to me to out flank Austin and catch him by surprise. The plan worked perfectly, and we took the match.

So my buddy Jeff came over last night, and he’s talking about how he’s a ticket broker on the side and how he’s been re-newing his season tickets for various teams, and he mentions an email he got from the Phoenix Suns, a team who he had owned a set of season tickets for a few years back. It contained an offer to purchase playoff tickets for the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury, and the going rate for a single ticket to game 1 of their first series was $3 (which includes a free t-shirt as well!).
Now this just reaffirms that the WNBA is a massive joke… The Mercury are defending champs, with one of the greatest female basketball players of all time leading their squad (Diana Taurasi) and they still have to charge $3 in order to try and get people to come to this game.
Why does this league exist again?
I’ve got this camera, I’ve been using it the past year to film all the SORJ video blogs. It’s a great little camera, shots great video (in either 30fps or 60fps), very durable (I’ve dropped it many times and its even been submerged in water), and easy to use.
I highly recomend it, and at $35 you can’t go wrong…


Last night at rugby practice, our player/coach Gavin announced he would be heading back to his home country of South Africa in a month to pursue a new job opportunity. during one of our drills I said to him, “Hey Gavin, you know with all the stress of moving, why don’t you give me your jersey, that way you won’t have to worry about packing it and lugging it all the way back to South Africa…” I said it to him in jest, and we had a laugh about it and continued on with our training. At the end of practice, he walked up to me a tossed the jersey he had been wearing to me (Mean Joe Greene style) and said, “here you go, it’s yours.” I tried to give it back to him, seeing as it was a really nice jersey and I’m sure it had some special meaning to him, but he wouldn’t accept it back. It was an incredible gesture, and I’ll wear it with great pride. Thanks Gavin, and best of luck on your move back home.


Mo sent me this “postcard” a few weeks ago, she wrote on a piece of bark taken from a tree on Mt. Major in New Hampshire. I’ve got the best sister ever, what a great idea.
Thanks Mo!

Stopped to soak up a little bit of the Appalachian Trail at a road crossing outside Vernon, NJ on Saturday following a visit to Mountain Creek Water Park. The photo on the left was taken on August 15th, 2005 during my SOBO Thru-Hike of the AT, on the right is an older & wiser SORJ one day shy of five years after the original photo was taken (picture on the right was taken August 14th, 2010).
