The World According To Chris Brewer

OREGON STATE HAS WON THE 2006 NCAA BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! How awesome was their College World Series run? First they go and get blasted by Miami 11-1, then they bounce back by beating Georgia, Miami (payback is sweet), Rice (twice I might add), and finally North Carolina to take home the top prize in college baseball. I do have to admit that even though I am a mean green University of Oregon fan, we don’t have our own baseball team so I found myself cheering loud and proud for the Beavers, often times making a fool of myself. Great game last night, it was deadlocked at 2 apiece in the bottom of the eighth when one of the simplest routine plays went wrong for UNC — the second baseman threw PAST THE FIRST BASEMAN after scooping up a routine grounder — allowing Bill Rowe to scamper home all the way from second with the go-ahead run. UNC threatened BIG TIME in the 9th with a man on first and third base and two outs, but Kevin “Lights Out” Gunderson got one of UNC’s power hitters to pop up and send the entire state of Oregon into a frenzy. What a wonderful game and series. I can only imagine what carnage the town of Corvallis suffered last night as a result of the Beavers winning their first national title in any team sport since 1961. Celebrate, state of Oregon!!!

Onto other points of business…

I stumbled upon this the other day and laughed so hard. Don’t ask me why or how I found this, but I just did, you need to see it too, and that’s all I’m gonna say.

Honestly, how could this guy not know he is NOT THE FATHER (emphasis on those words because that’s how Maury would say them, “…you are NOT THE FATHER”) of the half-black/half-white boy??? Seriously, some people are so horribly stupid they don’t even deserve to fend for themselves in the real world. The guy doesn’t even deserve a girlfriend/wife/etc. Horrible.

Speaking of horrible and awful, here’s a link to a news story on Freedom Journal Iraq, the newscast I worked on when I was deployed to Baghdad. FJI was not of exceptional quality when I worked there, and it certainly hasn’t become any better. This story is a total train wreck. Honestly…are there so few stories to find in Iraq that the broadcasters there MAKE A STORY ABOUT THEIR OWN PEOPLE??? Watch the story (you’ll have to wait until it’s done loading and then scroll to the very last story there). Note the exceptionally lame attempts at humor…and also the best soundbite of the story, “…the only thing Staff Sergeant Sarratt is surviving, is a yearlong deployment to Baghdad.” I could say a lot more, but I’ll hold my tongue from here on out. Although I know I can say anything I want now about the people I disliked in the 206th Broadcast Operations Detachment, but that wouldn’t be very Christian of me, so like I said I’ll shut up. Just click the video link and walk away feeling the indescribable rush of having wasted four minutes of your God-given life.

I’m out for now, peace and love from up above. I mean that.
