The Swinging Arm



The 510 Crew is a part of soccer team, appropriately named "The Olechna Family Reunion." Our games take place on Fitzpatrick Field on Tuesday nights at either 9:45pm, 10:30pm, or 11:15pm. The league is filled with skilled teams, with matching uniforms and stretching routines. Most players have soccer cleats, and have played the game before at high levels. Then there is "The Olechna Family Reunion." We are a team of holigans, with only a few skilled players. But we have three things on our team that most teams cannot compete with. We have Craig, we have heart, and we have the swinging arm.

Craig is a soccer god. There is no other way to put it. He is like a alchemist, when ever he touches the ball, it turns to gold. The ball is an extension of his body, he has control over its every move. We have a simple motto on our team: "In Craig we Trust." We live that motto to the fullest, and it has served us well

Our teams heart is what the cowardly lion asked for from the Wizard of Oz. If you saw how Dec put himself on the line the other night in goal, you would know what it means to have courage. Beard was a brick wall on defense. No, not because of his skill, but because he had heart and wanted to win. Kazu, mentally out of the game for 90%, checked in to score a hat trick in the last 5 minutes. That takes heart. I could name every player, name all their accomplishments, and you would agree that there would not be enough bronze stars to go around. But there was one thing that brought us the 7-6 victory the other night. Something only the 510 crew knows...The Swinging Arm!

In FIFA'10 for Xbox 360, there is an option to celebrate after a goal is scored. Kazu's favorite move is called the swinging arm. After the player scores the goal, he runs around the field, swinging him arm around in a circle over and over. Last night we adopted this move, and it served us well. Going into the half, we were down 3-2. Of course, Craig had those two goals, but we were playing with a lot of heart. The second half was not going our way. We found ourselves down 6-2 with just over 5 minutes left. We moved Kazu to forward, and he dug deep to score a big goal. Then, as if it were practice, we all started doing the swinging arm, running around the field. A minute later, Kazu followed up with a second goal and again out came the swinging arm. Then DJ Sweets, off an assist from Nickelback, scored his first career goal. The swinging arm was going wild! The opposing team didn't know what hit them. They kicked off again, and there was a quick steal. Off a pass from Brit, Kazu score our teams 5th goal, in a matter of minutes. We were down by one with 2 minutes left on the clock. Again, with heart, Dec made a huge save, passed the ball up to Brit, who passed it up to Kazu. Kazu dribbled and passed it back to Brit, who nailed it into the upper 90. Tie game...and you guessed it, out came the swinging arm! With 15 second left, Brit put a corner kick into Kazu's chest, which he controlled and kicked into the bottom corner of the net for the game winning goal. "The Olechna Family Reunion" ran all around the field, swinging the arm and celebrating the biggest comeback of all time...in intramural history.

This season has been great. We are off to a 1-1-0 start, and have played above anyone's expectations. But most importantly, this season we learned that "In Craig We Trust", to play with our hearts, and to never stop The Swinging Arm.
See us next week (4/11) at 11:15!

Hot Potato!!!

I am very impressed with this one! Aside from the fidgety shuffle, this one is a keeper. Just listen no burning.

It's always a celebration when you're Irish!

Wow!!! Hell of a 50th Anniversary for the St. Patrick's Day Parade here in the valley. For all of those who attended, it was one of the most memorable days or lack thereof. But, it has only just begun! Many celebrations to come within the next week; St. Patrick's Day, spring break, SB and Sweets' birthdays, the Ides of March (why the hell not celebrate? Et tu Brute?) This song is not your traditional irish, but still keeps the heritage strong. So nip on a few brewskis in the name of St. Patrick!



Sláinte,

VH510 Storytellers




Setting: 1:30 A.M., Nippy, DJ Sweets walking out of 436 with street cone, SB double fisting Natty Lights, and Kazu nursing a can of beer.

State of Kazu: Feelin' Good/Drunk
State of DJ Sweets: Zooted
State of SB: Feelin' Good/Calm Seas
Where's Bodhi? On the couch...in Hoboken.

- So, here's what what happened...the three of us walk out of 436 after making an appearance at a beat, after-party where there were about 5 people doing nothing but being drunken fools. After 5 minutes, we realize it's time to go. On the way out, DJ Sweets grabs a street cone, that obviously was inside the house and needing to be grabbed, and takes it outside with him as we exit the party. Immediately after closing the door and exiting the premises, SB and DJ Sweets are walking next to each other, with Kazu lagging behind of course, and DJ Sweets decides to place the cone, in a zooted, drunken manner, atop the hood of a car parked on the side of the street. Instantaneously, after placing the street cone on the hood, SB hears a car start to race up the hill and thinks to himself, "Here comes another drunken asshole driving his car after a "bangin" night at Cockeye's." Soon thereafter, a Public Safety car pulls in between SB and Jim...Kazu was still lagging behind at this point. To paint the picture for you, SB was double-fisting Natty Lights and DJ Sweets had just planted a street cone as a hood ornament on a nearby car...so...who did the Public Safety guy yell towards?....DJ Sweets, of course...because street cones are a bigger concern than what SB was doing. Here's how the situation went after this:

-Cop: "Hey you...come here!"
-DJ Sweets: "Hell no..not a chance."
-SB: (laughing)
-DJ Sweets drops his can of brew and starts speed walking up the hill.
-SB...still laughing.
-After reaching the top of the hill (Clay)...DJ Sweets makes a hilarious and bold move.
-DJ Sweets screams: "Run fucker!"...to the Cop...and proceeds to run.
-Cop...still parked next to SB, who is still double-fisting Natty...says: "Oh, we got a tough guy huh!?"
-SB: laughing hysterically now, yells out, "Go Sweets Go!"..in a jokingly, yet serious manner.
-DJ Sweets goes on to run into the night-time blackness of Scranton...with a Public Safety car now racing after him..and SB chasing the Public Safety car, still gripping his two brews...and Kazu chasing the entire situation.
-SB chases the Public Safety car to the point where he can see that DJ Sweets has eluded the law...and continues to laugh...after realizing how hilarious that whole situation was.

- Needless to say...we all got away without harm or any trouble whatsoever...and had a good story to laugh about as we walked to the next party. And yes...for those who were wondering...Kazu did catch up to the whole situation, but he was safe from the start since the cop did not notice him along with SB and DJ Sweets.

SCORE: the 510 Crew- 1....Pigs- 0

Take Over Control!

So, it is Monday again.....time to get back into the trenches. After a relentless weekend of self inflicting abusive acts, my liver comes out on top again, but my mind is still very hazy. This song isn't your typical work week starter, but it gives you something to look forward to on friday. I have a fever and the only medicine is to rage!

P.S. Steele Reserve is a hell of a drug...

Kazu Quote #3


Setting: 11:58 PM...Kazu, on phone with Beard
State of Kazu: 82% sober...out on the town...possibly cold.
Where is Bodhi?: on the couch.

"I'm gonna get red rocks for the butt plugs with Ashy Larry this weekend."
("No idea what that meant"- Beard)

Coincidental Throwback!

I just found my old cell phone that was apparently lost on August 17th 2010, a moderate throwback. I had a few texts I never read, they are as follows:

Brit- Hope this doesn't wake you but 2 things...we have to get better at locking the doors the kitchen was not and also if you see jd today ask about the sewer bill

Dee Dee- Yo rihannas tatoo is backwards

Chedda- Yo

Chedda- $10 lobster

DJ Big Red- Are you alive today?

B*- Are we having a team dinner tonight? I have sausage and peppers for the house but not enough for the whole team?

Dee Dee- Hew homes hows the drive?

Tess- Yooosies going to walfart to get some shits need anything?

Diz- Going to walfart!!

Tess- 7:11pm msg: fwd: Yooosies going to walfart to get some shits need anything?

B*- I got sausage and peppers for dinner. Who is it you me brett kazu right?

Pop, Lock, & Grizzly

I sure am thirsty, but due to the lack of sleep and being hyped up on copious amounts of beaver tranquilizers I cannot indulge in Americas great past time--thirsty thursday. But, I can give you a recommendation to fill those gaps in your playlist (Justin Beiber/Creed/Cannibal Corpse). I know it seems as though mashups died out as soon as they were conceived, but much musical pleasure (eargasms as the hipsters call it) can still be discovered. For instance, this 'oldie but a goodie' doowop hit from the white panda. Sit back, relax, and let that luke-cool keystone light flow...

Slam Dunk


This past weekend was the NBA All-Star Weekend and one of my favorite events is the dunk competition. The dunk has evolved greatly over the past 40 years put perhaps the group of guys who developed the dunk most was the University of Houston's 1983 basketball team 'Phi Slama Jama'. This throwback is pretty old and before most of your time (myself included), but thanks to the miracle of EA's game 'NCAA March Madness 06', I am able to understand their dominance. These guys were the penultimate contributors to the dunk, second only to Dr. J. Here were a few guys from their line up:

Hakeem "Dream" Olajuwon (AKA Akeem "Jelly" Olajuwon)
Benny "Bomber from Bernice" Anders
Clyde "Glide" Drexler

Here is a throwback video of these guys at work.

Beard's Reply to Sweets' Reply

I think SB and Sweets pretty much hit the nail on its head but missed one of my favorite syndromes. Sweets talked about swollen ankles, a serious problem for people 40 years and older. Perhaps a more relevant 'swelling,' for those that do not remember Reagan's administration, are swollen, ashy, sausage fingers. Often times, after a night of drinking, I cannot pry my flip phone's screen from the keypad. I attribute this to drinking so much Steel Reserve that when people ask me what my ethnicity is, I reply 'Iron and Carbon'. But 40's of Steel Reserve are not the only culprit. We all know who is to blame, our Asian friend...not Kazu...Ramen, yes, a Mr. Ramen Noodle. The sodium content contained in these $0.31 treats are high enough to corrode 'Old Ironside' to a Kaschper single. The combination of both caustic materials have you barking the next morning as well as sobbing for mercy (Note: sobbing after a night of Steel Reserve and Ramen will produce no tears [because of the dehydration], but a hideous, haggard and homely face that not even your mother can love).

Purpose

Post any question...and we will answer it.

The Bull and the Bear


As I am sitting in the library studying for finance, I have realized one thing: I miss Kazu.

Kazu and myself would study together for every test, work together on practice and homework problems, and get through the nitty gritty of the world of "Intro to Finance, Fin 351." Like the Bull and the Bear to the wall street market, Kazu and Brit were a force to reckon with. We could find the present value, assess the net worth of a job offer, and find the mortgage payment on a theoretical house faster than anyone in the class, and often faster than even Google could spit out. Without each other, we were sunk. Alone, we weren't in the black, we were in the red. But together, green was all we could see!

It is for this reason that right now I miss him. My partner in crime, my Robin, my Barney Rubble, my Dr. Watson is not here. This leads me to ask, who is Batman without Robin, Fred Flinstone without Barney, Sherlock Holmes without Watson, and Brit without Kazu? I don't know if I can stay in the green without my sidekick so this is my plea to Kazu to come back to the dark side of finance. Together we succeed, alone...I will surely fail (this class).

Dave Matthews


Last night while preparing dinner, the topic of concerts came up. We were talking about how Dave Matthews Band said that they were going to "take three years off" but have instead had summer tours every year. Now, I know not all the readers out there have been to a Dave concert, but many of us in the house have, including Kazu. So when the topic of Dave concerts arose, I couldn't help but to laugh in remembering Kazu's review of the 2009 summer tour. To those of you who saw him that year, and to the readers who are considering seeing him in the future, I am here to provide you a 'special' review of Dave Matthews Band on tour, from our very own Kazu.

To give you a little more background, what I am about to tell you occurred in the study room on second floor of our residents hall when we first discussed the 2009 Dave concert. A few members of the 510 crew had gone to the show, and after the concert ended everyone returned home to the study lounge to finish up work, and hang out/discuss the concert. So of course the obvious question arose from the gathering audience: "So how was the concert?" A typical question would normally call for a typical response such as, "good" or "amazing" or even, "It brought me to tears, best concert ever!" But our good friend Kazu decided that those responses weren't good enough. No, instead he decided to speak from his heart replying, "It was so good that I was poopin' out my pee hole."...WHAT!?!...Yes, this was the review given and we are all still baffled by the meaning. So if you plan on seeing Dave in any of his upcoming tours, then I can assure you that if Kazu is right, you are all in for a very good time.

Midas Touch

DJ Sweets and I were contemplating about buying this beer for a while. This 2700 years old recipe came from a cup of King Midas' possible tomb. Midas Touch is a handcrafted ancient ale, and according to a Penn archaeologist's analysis, it is made with barley, white muscat grapes and saffron instead of hops. It has the taste of a lager, but the 9.0% abv this brew contains, gets it a little liquor-like, with a dry spice in the aftertaste.In the aroma, dry grapes and a little spice. In the taste, grapes. A spice bite and medium to light bodied mouthfeel. Quite spicy, and lots of fruitiness. Interesting. The price isn't an average Joe selection, but drinking this beer is an experience, and you should all try it!
