Responsibly Wild Blog

That's right, nothing for months and than two updates in two weeks. I am just in the zone. Think that's crazy? Come Friday, there should be an update to the normal video portion of the wedding site .

So after a brief stay in Santa Ana, California (DAMN YOU AMERICAN AIRLINES!), Marieta and I are back in good ole El Cerrito. How was Illinois you ask? Kind of crazy. We got out of O'Hare airport at midnight, got to my grandma Boberg's house in Cambridge, Illinois by 2:30am, and kicked off the shower goodness the following afternoon. Of course I videoed the affair so I don't want to give you too many of the details but I will let you know both the Boberg Shower and the Catanzaro shower gave me plenty of time to master my puppetry... Sunday our whole crew woke up at the crack of dawn and drove to Chicago for the Catanzaro shower. It was nice to see my family tree live in the flesh, but sadly, we spent zero time in Chicago itself. Kind of lame but when you have only 48 hours and over 30 relatives to satisfy you can't always do what you want. I only wish we had left enough time to grab a slice of Mr. Beef Pizza : (. Are smileys out of style? Ah who cares. Look for something...

The eight week mark has past and more and more people are asking me about my wedding. So when I say its September 13th people are obligated to say "Oh man, that's soon. Getting nervous?" Up till now I've been saying that I'm totally chill. Well that's all changed. At the beginning of the month Marieta made this list of things we have to do before the wedding. This is a long, long list. It's broken down by week, and if it wasn't for optimism I'd probably worry about it... now on top of that there's a specific "Pat" list. On it are things like the DJ and videographers, but most importantly, 100 pounds video stuff. Seriously; picture collages, rehearsal dinner stuff, website stuff, and you know what? I'M OFF THE WALL EXCITED! After publishing that bunny video in the kids corner , I have really hit a groove. I know I'm big into hyperbole on here but... the video I'm making about my groomsmen is pretty damn sweet. I can only te...

Do you like Music videos? Do you like sing-alongs? Do you like stuffed animals? WELL DO  HAVE THE VIDEO FOR YOU!! That's right, I have finally done what many of you wanted. I added a new video to the Kids Corner section of our wedding website. Now... I don't want to over do this (a little too late for that), but it's great. I had a ton of fun doing this thing. Now, I don't want to waste anymore of your time. GO SEE THAT FUNKING VIDEO!

I am LOVING this wedding site thing. Okay so I have yet to add anything to the Kid's Corner but dude, I'm working on it. If you're at all interested in our nuptials feel free to check out the new pictures and videos. If the recent uptick in additions to the site is any indication, there is gonna be a lot of new goodies over there in the upcoming months. Just click on the picture above to take a wild ride.

And so can you. Snagflims brings all the documentary goodness you've been looking for at the best price; free. Better than free, you can steal the video and embed it on your blog or social network page. Dude, that rocks. Finally I can watch some of the movies I've been waiting to, such as the embedded Dig!.

I really really really want to see The Dark Knight this weekend; however, the Gods of marriage and employment are working against me. I am manning kcbs.com tomorrow so that pretty much eats up my Saturday and when I'm not doing that, I'll be working hardcore on wedding stuff. Marieta typed out this to do list that pretty much monopolizes all of our time from now to the wedding. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating. One of the bad things about living away from your family and bridal party is that you have to do pretty much every-little-thing on your own. Oh well, I'm handling it fine (granted I don't have as much to do), but Marieta is stressing. I just reiterating that we just need to focus on the necessary things first and the luxuries second. Make the cake before you start with the frosting. Back to the movies. This summer is the perfect cocktail of awesome films and zero time/money. The only film I have been to all summer is Iron Man, and technically that was a sprin...

Take a moment to take this in: I have never, in my entire life, and I say this with zero sarcasm, felt more proud to have a connection to Iowa. The Iowa Chops. Formerly the Iowa Stars, American Hockey League affiliate to the Dallas Stars, has reaffiliated to the Anaheim Ducks, and changed their name to the Iowa C*H*O*P*S. PERFECT! Now that in itself is pretty damn hilarious but look at that pig. I could get that thing tattooed across my chest. Oh man, keep your eyes a rolling. Notice anything else from that page? WE'VE TRIMMED THE FAT! YES! This franchise is something that I all Iowans should be proud to support. The food jokes will never end. Why have some fierce, too-serious-for-its-own-good name like the Thrashers, Lightning, or Hurricanes? The Iowa C*H*O*P*S. COME ON! The store website is the The Chop Shop. I cannot get enough. I am so enamored that I just bought a hat. I will proudly wear that hat everyday of my life. Now I'm hoping it looks better than that once it arrive...

And I'm not talking about M Knight Shamalamadingdong. That's right, we are seconds away from mailing some invites out. That's right, I am just over two months away from being a husband.

Love it

It is the 8th straight day of Patrick Boberg sleep drought and predictions are he wont see any relief until the weekend. Source close to the situation are reporting the embargo started as Boberg took on too heavy a workload around Wednesday last week when he started training for new responsibilities at his TV news job. Boberg experienced a minor amount of relief over the weekend; however, accepting two weekend shifts while also entertaining his parents from out of town negating small amount of excess sleep he garnered. Our attention now turns to Patrick Boberg's attempt to weather his workload this week. As If working 4 a-m to 1 p-m each day till Thursday wasn't enough, Boberg has recently as yesterday afternoon has experienced trouble with his afternoon nap. After quickly relenting to his inability to fall asleep, Boberg stayed up through most of the afternoon watching Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will be Blood . We are told he thoroughly enjoyed the film. Concerning his n...

How can you not fall in love with Usher's "Love In This Club" being performed by the Showbiz Pizza Band?

If we are all dead and gone, hopefully this will survive. Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo . I must give credit where it's due. This is pure genius. Why can't we just get the north koreans, iranians, iraqis, sudis, palistineans, israelis, etc. to do this? At least the bloods and the cripps,

May I be the first to wish you a happy Independence Day. That's right, I'm working. you should know by now THE SHOW MUST GO ON! Just because you're kicking back with a beer and a brat, that doesn't mean there isn't important information to desiminate to the masses... Who am I kidding? I would give my cornias to be sleeping in right now. Major national holiday and I wake up at 3a... lame-o-rama... I'm just hoping that I get home in time to get a little sleep before my parents show up. Hey, but work the 4th and get the weekend off right? Eh... no. I'm be manning KCBS tomorrow and Sunday 8a-4p so my weekend is pretty much dominated by the broadcast news industry. It may sound like I am complaining (well I am complaining... give me a break its early), but I was asked to cover these shifts and gladly accepted. In reality I am a grunt and if I ever want to move up, covering holidays and saying yes to all shifts is the way to go. I mean I've been here just unde...

Finally added some new content to the our wedding website . I know it isn't the much anticipated kids corner episode I promised. Hold onto your face buddies. That takes a lot of work and I haven't had the time to get it done. It'll happen. P.S. An old high school buddy of mine, Garrett, appears to be touring the world with his reggae group The Blue Isand Tribe . While I am a touch jealous, I must say that is awesome. The last time I saw him in person he was recovering from BRAIN SURGERY! Keep on rocking in the free world Garrett.

You may or may not know that Jeremy Wind was ordained this weekend. Too you non-catholics that is a huge deal. It means he is officially a Priest. It was really cool. The idea of spending the weekend with a bunch of Priests may make some a little... uneasy. Hey! I was one of those people only a couple years ago, but that's all changed. After doing all this Catholic pre -marriage meetings and interview stuff I gotta say my outlook has changed a lot. For a loooooong time I had a pretty negative view of religion in general. There was just a painful deluge of negative publicity for Christianity . Catholicism, Protestants, and Evangelicals are all very different, but if one of them looks bad they all look bad. Now I don't want to mince words but Evangelic has become as close to a dirty word as you can get over the last 8 years, and why is that? President Bush. Has a President ever been more in bed with an ideology than G dubbs is with the Evangelical right? Seems like any time h...
