They'll win...someday

Ever since the Brewers lost the 1982 World Series, they have never found their way back. If I were a Yankee fan, I would probably get sick of winning tthe World Series after awhile. The Brewers are a team that gives hope for many that their time will come to win. I have been with them when they made the playoffs two years ago, and when they had 100 losses ten years ago. Like the Packers, I'm loyal to the Brewers.

I have a couple of great piece of clothing, along with two bobblehead dolls of Prince Fielder, the Brewers first baseman and slugger. The little bobblehead is Ned Yost, former Brewer Manager who slowly resurrected this team, but failed to finish the job. I guess he signifies hope, but also stupidity (if you're a Brewer fan, you what I'm talking about). There are also two baseball cards - one of Ben Sheets and the other Geoff Jenkins. Both players have experienced the highs and lows while playing for this team; they're recognized as Brewers for life, although they play for different teams now. All of these items sit on a baseball bean bag of mine. Yep, I love baseball.

Golf and Tiger


I considered taking this picture outside, but I was afraid my putting green was going to be ruined, so ignore the background of our basement. There's a lot going on this photo. I am obsessed with golf. I had just hit the ball, and now it's ready to fall in the hole. I'm wearing red to signify that I'm a Carthage student, and also to imitate Tiger Woods.

Red is one of his most lucky colors, and his fist pump is a classic gesture. I did my best to reenact Tiger celebrating. Although I believe what Tiger did to his wife and kids was awful and disgusting, he is still one of my favorite golfers. It's a treat to watch this man play. When he's not playing, golf fans are itching for his return.

When I'm not watching it, I'm playing it. I took up the game five years ago. Considered to be one of the most frustrating sports, golf is a sport that can be played for the rest of your life. I recommend everyone to try it at some point in their lives.

Packer Fan Always

I am a die hard Packer fan. Although I was born in Illinois, Packer pride has been flowing in my veins since birth. I first got into the Packers during their Super Bowl run in 1996. Even though I was 6 years old at the time, I still remember some of the biggest plays in that Super Bowl. I realized I was a true Packer fan after they had won it all.

These are some of my most important Packer possessions. Behind my items is a large Packer blanket laying over my bed. I tried my best to include everything possible in the shot. I did forget one other thing though. A couple days after taking this picture, my parents won an autographed football signed by this year's Packer football team. That really tops my collection. No matter how good or bad they are, I will never betray them. I have a strong allegiance to my football team. In my opinion, you're not an American unless you have a favorite football team.

Movie Connoisseur


As you can see, I love to watch movies. From "The Trouble with Angels" to "The Hills Have Eyes", I love all extremes. These are not the only movies I like, but these films give a background of all the different types that I enjoy. Action, Comedy, and Drama are my favorite genres. I love the recent movies; I love classics; I love movies that are older than my parents!

Hopefully, people can relate to these movies; I assume that most people have seen these films. All of them are quite iconic in there own way. It's sad that there are many who don't watch anything. Movies provide every form of entertainment with every moral issue. We can always learn something from a movie no matter how funny, serious, or stupid it may be. I also love to quote movie lines and incorporate them in life and with others who relate to the quote. That's how I feel about films and why I enjoy them so much.
