They still show up…

They still show up…

I decided to take a spin with my bro today and check out the dodgeball tourney down at good old Toohig Park. This tourney has been in the works with Eddie Strumm and his boys for quite some time. Today, it obviously took on a more 

Eddie’s progress…

Eddie’s progress…

Out of respect for his family’s privacy I will not go into too much detail. But I will quote his parents who are in good spirits “Your prayers are working”.  Eddie Strumm is making progress….so….keep him in your prayers! And thank you to everyone who 

Take a ride with Boston Fire…

This is Tower Ladder 3 on Atlantic Ave. The video offers a pretty cool perspective because you realize how much skill it takes to get this beast through the narrow streets down there. Plus, you have to be quick….lives are on the line.

What’s striking here is the amount of a**holes trying to run across the street to beat out the fire truck…like they are going to get home 30 seconds faster. Now this is Boston’s Financial district and it’s obviously rush hour….and these people are supposed to be some of Boston’s brightest. If so, why would they play Frogger with a speeding 40,000 lbs truck? You know why? Because 100k in student loans doesn’t buy you common sense. Doesn’t anyone remember the story of Kevin Kelley? Such a sad day for the BFD…

I suppose every pedestrian in Boston thinks they own the street. Years back I had some dude over in the Back Bay actually kick a huge dent into my rear quarter panel because he felt like I should stop for him. He had a “Don’t Walk” and I had the green light for the record. Well…after I returned the favor with some strategically placed dents to his head…he seemed to realize fairly quickly he made a mistake. Probably not the Zen approach…but I’m a Dot Rat…and in my mind I have a right to defend myself and my property regardless of the sh*t laws in this state.

Hey…it beats getting a gun pulled on you….and it certainly beats getting pancaked by a fire truck. But I digress…Kudos to Boston Fire…you are certainly some of Boston’s finest!

The Casino Pitch…

The Casino Pitch…

It sure looks like Caesars Palace is making their pitch for a casino at Suffolk Downs. Now I’m sure this means a lot to the folks over in East Boston and Revere but I said it months back and I will say it again, it 

Is it worth it Bro?

Is it worth it Bro?

Ahhhh the intricacies of the alpha male world. I understand the need to feel strong whether for health reasons, your profession, or maybe you just want your clothes to fit better. But your body has a way to tell you when your overdoing it. Well, when you’re 

The Mac Miller effect…

The Mac Miller effect…

I guess being at the Mac & Wiz show make people dance that otherwise wouldn’t…or maybe it was the massive amount pot. Either way…homeboy was feeling it.

Here comes Big Dee…

Here comes Big Dee…

I like this kid…check him out just cruising down Dot Ave with his boys letting it flow. I’m old enough to remember when Hip Hop first hit the scene around Dorchester. It’s taken many different paths over the years, from political to flat out angry. 

Tearing up some Boston…

What’s better than cruising around with your dog listening to tunes? Cruising around with your dog and singing tunes….together. Check out Buddy and Dave tearing up this classic Boston song. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaqKaxBX3B0]
