Skydiver Owns Ball Player
I can barely catch a pop fly as it is, the last thing I need is skydivers smashing into me while i’m playing right center. This has to be a planned attack, right? A trained skydiver* is supposed to have perfect control over his landing; no way he hits a guy with all that open real-estate in the outfield . This “skydiver” must have beat up the real skydiver, took his clothes and parachute, and did a rogue jump aiming for this defenseless ball player. Some kind of James Bond shit if you ask me. I will never look at the skies the same way again while i’m playing softball.

PS – A Trained skydiver* looks like this:
PSS- I tried finding a picture of Tommy from the Power Rangers Movie with his sky board for this, but Google images let me down…again.
Selena Gomez’s 21st Birthday Was Slightly Different Than Mine
If you substitute the hot girls and insane dance party with 10 guys and a lot of warm jager followed by me passing out in the bathroom of the bar then we basically had the same exact 21st birthday. Once again proves my point that me and Selena are soup snakes.

Ryan Does Fenway
Polo on Saturday. Fenway last night. The life of kings. Boston is hands down my favorite city in the world. While I can’t call myself a Celtics, Bruins or Pats fan, I am a dirt dog, die hard Red Sox fan. I still count being at Fenway for Trot Nixon’s walk off home run in the 2003 ALDS as one of the best moments of my life. Being a Sox fan definitely hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows. While I got to experience two world series wins so far in my lifetime, the previous 10 years (and the 76 before that) were pretty much the worst stretch a professional fan base has gone through (I know the Cubs still haven’t won a world series, but they just suck. The Red Sox had really good teams that drove knives through your hearts in October). Now that the 2013 Red Sox seem to be back to their winning ways, me and slippery Mike decided to make a trip to Fenway. If you’ve never been, you owe it to yourself to visit “The Cathedral of Boston”. On a Red Sox game day, the energy around the ballpark is unmatched. Stop by Copperfield’s, Boston Beer Works, Cask N’ Flagon or any number of bars for a pregame beer or six. Your next stop should be to scan your ticket and embrace Yawkey Way with the best sausage and pepper sandwich you’ll ever eat. With a satisfied stomach and an unlimited amount of beer at your disposal, the only thing left to do is take in the sights and sounds of the ballpark and watch the Red Sox kick some ass. Trust me on this one: if you go to Fenway, you’ll be itching to go back again and again. If, like last night, the Red Sox happen to lose, make sure you get a good consolation prize:

P.S. I’m just glad this trip went better than the last time I traveled to Fenway..

How-To Tuesday – Nexus 7 DSLR Monitor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUzRqP3RAmU
The great thing about shooting video with a DSLR is that you get great looking footage. The bad thing? They are not meant to do so. One way to help me shoot video on my 5D MKIII was connecting my Nexus 7 tablet to the camera and using the app ‘DSLR Controller’. In case anyone was curious on how to connect a Nexus 7 to your DSLR rig, here is a custom mount I built myself. Build cost was about $25 (including app price). A link to everything I bought is in the video description and below

Breaking Bad Returns For It’s Final Run August 11th
This isn’t exactly breaking news, as rabid fans of the show have known for months that Breaking Bad is returning for it’s final 8 episodes on August 11th. What is semi breaking news, however, is the new series recap mashup that premiered at Comic Con over the weekend. 4 and a half seasons of raw, emotional stories condensed into a 3 minute trailer that will blow your head off. I have loved many a TV show, but very few have had the brutal storylines and brilliant characters that make up the Breaking Bad brand. Something should be said about a TV show that dares to bow out at the top of it’s game (if you don’t think BB is one of the best shows on TV, then you’re wrong. End of discussion). Walter White is simultaneously at the top of his game and yet he’s never been so vulnerable. I don’t know how it’s going to end, but I do know, along with millions of others, that I’ll be watching on August 11th, and for the seven weeks after that. Heisenberg wins again.

We’re Polo People Now
This past Saturday I decided to spread my wings and attend the USA vs. Spain International Polo match at the Newport Polo grounds in Newport, RI. I am now a polo person. I truly don’t even know what that means but I will never miss a match again. For starters, the Newport Polo Grounds is private property, which in my mind means only one thing: drinking as much beer as you want without fear of persecution. And boy did we drink a lot of beer. The Busch Light was flowing like wine, and it was delicious. Everyone came out in their favorite sun dresses, yellow and pink shorts, and fancy hats. A woman in front of us brought a picnic basket full of champagne and cheese trays. The couple behind us had crackers, wine and a fully jelly spread. I love professional sports as much as the next gal, but I’ve never experienced such an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere anywhere in my life. During halftime, all the fans are invited onto the field, alcoholic beverage in hand, to fix the divots on the field. Imagine all this, on a gorgeous day in Newport, for only $12. Free parking, tailgate until your head falls off, and bask in the glory of a hundred smokeshows with those big, flowy hats. If you’ve never attended a match, you owe it yourself to clear your Saturday schedule and get weird in the classiest way possible.

P.S. I still don’t know any of the rules or how a team wins/scores a point. ‘Merica.
