There Is More To This I Know

I deserve Best Friend of the Year 2008...

VOTE FOR COREY! VOTE FOR COREY!

He said he'd give me like .000009% of his All-Star bonus if I did that. Plus if Corey goes, Rickie and I are gonna go and be cheerleaders for him and Ryan and be annoying and yell stupid things while they're trying to play baseball.

That's all folks!

Let's go home, and get stoned, we can end up makin' love instead of misery!

Why don't the Brewers give J.J. Hardy a multi-year contract?
-- Jim L., Racine, Wis.

Simple, Jimmy boy. It's because the Brewers are little bitches. They believe that I'm not worth a Prince Fielder or Ryan Braun. When infact, they'll probably make the worst trade in history, sending me to some down-on-the-food-chain team, and in return getting a pitcher. I will then go on to his a career .400 with 777 homeruns. They'll in the end feel like Major League Idiots, Attanasio will sell the team to Mark Cuban and it'll be moved to Dallas. Of course, they'll over-pay Corey, who will go on to be a bust, which will make this predicament even more miserable for them.

I hope that answers your question!

J.J. Hardy. Brewers Correspondent.

Stone cold sober as a matter of fact.

So I'm back in America. I have been for a while I just never got the chance to tell ya'll that yes, I did cut my trip short.

So Thanksgiving is Thursday? I'm flying out to Washington and cooking dinner for my family. Which consists of Logan, My mom, and my dad. That'll be fun. They'll get to see my house, which is super awesome.

I've been really lazy since I got back. Nothing new there, but I'm readjusting to timezone differences... all over again.

Needless to say Spain was fun. Interestingly fun. It was an experience. Next off season remind me to stay in the states.

Kay I'm out. Got people to see, things to do.

So I wait. And I wait. And I run myself in the same old circles.

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 04:06:09 GMT

I punched a wall today. It didn't do anything for me. I don't think it hurt my hand cause I can't feel it. Left a dent in the wall and that's it.

I also slept. All day. I didn't wanna wake up and when I did I went back to sleep. I don't know what day it is. I don't know what time it is. All I know is that I'm half alive and not dead yet. I can't move. I can't breathe. I can't stay awake. I can't eat. I can't feel my left hand. I don't know how I can type.

I'm not coming back from Spain. I'm never going back to America again. I'm taking up soccer and gonna play for the Madrid team. I'm. Not. Ever. Coming back.

Was that the best I'll ever be?

Today I learned I have no say in what my team does

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 02:35:09 GMT

So. Robin Yount is out as our bench coach.

That's not cool I feel like I'm gonna puke.

It's really late here. Almost considered early in the morning.

>:[ This has been the worst 48 hours of my life.

Why'd you go and break what's already broken?

Sat, 11 Nov 2006 21:01:18 GMT

Still in Spain. Will be for a week and a half more. Might stay here never come back and yes I mean that. Not just sayin' it to be sayin' it. But then again I've gotta come back. Play in Milwaukee. Show everyone that J.J. Hardy ain't always perpetually hurt all the time.

Anyways. Yeah Spain is fun. There's a couple with two kids from Wisconsin who's hotel room is right next to me. They recognized me immediately. Pretty cool people. Daughter's real nice.

Anyways so Spain's really nice. It's like 10 here. I just got home a couple minutes ago. Kinda tired. Think I'll go to sleep early or something.

Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
How long til this goes away?

Jamas senti en el alma tanto amor

Sat, 04 Nov 2006 17:43:41 GMT

I never knew how much I would need 9th Grade Honors World History until now. Because in 9th grade I was fully intended on staying in the United States forever, just to piss poff my teacher. It worked. Anyways. So I really went around Spain today. (I know you guys are thinking this is crazy, but where ya'll are it's like either noon, or getting ready to be noon, here it's 6:19 in the evening)

I saw

To show my remembering skills I forgot what it's called. And I think it's Cortes on that horse. Either Cortes or Columbus. Columbus was from Spain!!

And look how cool I was! I got to go

That's where they play 'Futbol' in Spain. I guess they're pretty good or something.

This is

That was taken last night though, but that's okay. :D

And then...

Of course I brought the pup along! How could I not?

Alright. That's the end of my recollection of Spain. More to come, since you know I'm here for another... 2+ weeks.

Now I've gotta enjoy me some Spanish food! If I can ever order. You should see me walking around with my yellow Spanish to English/ English to Spanish Dictionary. It's bad.

I'm sorry that I hurtt you, it's something I must live with every day

Thu, 02 Nov 2006 03:55:13 GMT

Guess who leaves tomorrow?

Yep. Me. I'm on my way to Spain. Gotta be up at like 4 in the morning to be at the airport. Can't believe I'm actually LEAVING, you know? Like to a whole nother country. Gonna be kinda scary.

I promise to come back home in one piece.

So anyways. I'll try to update ya'll as much as possible on my trip. If I leave stuff out it's for the best. Haha.

Anyways, I've gotta get some sleep and stuff. Everything's packed.

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learnin'
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you.

>:[ NOW I'M ON MY OWN SIDE! IT'S BETTER THAN BEING ON YOUR SIDE

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 19:13:34 GMT

I'm in Phoenix. Visiting the Family. And the extended family before I go off to Spain. I'm actually really happy I planned this trip now. Yesterday I was pissed at myself, but now I'm like. This could be a good thing. Anyways. Yeah so Lyle Overbay and Billy Hall are here, so I'm probably gonna hang out with them, cause Brewers of a feather flock together. I've forgiven Billy Hall for being a better shortstop than I am. Hell last time I held a grudge against someone they ended up being my best friend and then getting traded. So. Anyways. My parents think it's cool I'm going to Europe. They think it's some kind of good experience for me.

I heard Madrid is like the city that never sleeps over in Spain. Sounds pretty fun.

Logan says he was in Spain for a while before he went on to Iraq, he said it was pretty cool. We're golfing like every day until I leave. I've also gotta go over to Maryvale and rehab the ankle, which is still rehabbing. Our trainer thinks I'm crazy for going to Europe.

Like half the team lives in Scottsdale. I know Rickie and Jemile live in Scottsdale, cause I raided their fridge like 50 times last winter, and I think Prince lives here too. So I'll probably see all them before I go.

I think it's totally like a kick in the shins that the year that I miss, Billy Hall like BREAKS OUT and gets to go to Japan. Ah well. I'm happy for the dude. He's cool.

Anyways. Got a tee time at 12:30 (Yeah I'm in Mountain time). Peace out.

The walls start breathing
My mind's unweaving
MAYBE IT'S BEST YOU LEAVE ME ALONE
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight

Dear... Just remember, I'm the 'cute one'. Love, JJ

Wed, 25 Oct 2006 01:57:48 GMT

Hi.

So I'm back in Milwaukee now, after being in... Arizona. I have to get some stuff together before I go off to Spain. Dude I can't believe in like... a week from Thursday, I'll be on a 56 hour (exaggeration) flight to Spain. Holy crap. I haven't exactly figured out what it is exactly that I am going to do there, but hell, it's friggen Spain, I'm sure I'll find SOMETHING productive to do.

I hate pre-vacation shopping. >:[ I don't know why I do it.

So yeah, my brother's like totally confused on why I'm taking this trip. Yeah join the club. Actually I planned it when I was really bored and injured and hating life, so I thought that running off to Spain would solve my problems. It didn't, but oh well.

My doggie's coming with me!!!!

Then when I get back (November 22nd, mark your calendars), I'm going to Washington (where I will retire most of the rest of the offseason), and cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the Hardy family (My mom, dad, and brother). So. Yeah. Me. Cooking. So that's my plans for November.

Give me souvenier lists now, or else I'll forget and not get you anything. HA!

Kay, later dudes,

Hardy ---> OUT

Take what you're given, before it's gone, start holdin' on, keep holdin' on

Fri, 20 Oct 2006 21:12:13 GMT

So I guess since the Cardinals are from our division, I'm being FORCED to root for them. :/

Anyways. Not a lot in the life of JJ. I'm in Arizona... right now. Nice weather here, you know. I got my puppy back from the Harts :) I'm happy.

All's fair in love and baseball. :(

So I think I SERIOUSLY need a new phone. I think I'll get one soon or something. In the near future before I go to Spain, so it won't like drop calls or anything.

I'm trying to figure out what I'm gonna do in Spain once I get there. Hell if I know.

Anyways...

:(

That's All.

Hardy-- OUT.

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless, like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend t il you break
Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad
You get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand

And isn't this exactly where you'd like me, I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know

Sat, 14 Oct 2006 14:24:47 GMT

I think, for the next two days or so, I am going to Bowling Green, Kentucky to go see my dog, and steal it back from the Hart's who have been taking care of it. I really need to cut down on this airfare shit. I'm gonna be flat broke by the time Spring Training rolls around because all I do is fly across the country (and to other countries) because I get bored. AND IF THAT IS WHAT I DO WHEN I'M BORED! I'm going to be in debt up to my eyeballs!

This does not feel like the offseason. This could be because I've been in the offseason since July. I know, I'm totally lucky. Heh no. If we played baseball in December, I woulda been back, cause rehab takes like 3-4 months. Speaking of rehab which I should be doing but I'm going to put it off until December when I go back to Arizona...

I need a new cellphone. Mine is a piece of crap. Probably because it was accidentally thrown at someone once, and almost flushed down the toilet another seperate time, and you can't see the screen anymore when you open it, it's just black, but I can still like dial numbers, and talk to people. AND I have to hold the charger in the phone for an hour just so it charges. Jacked up I know. I'm too lazy to go cellphone shopping though. Like does it matter where I get my cell? Will it have a weird area code if I get it in like Kentucky, and primarily use it in Milwaukee? Oh well.

I'm amazed that I'm up this early. I went to sleep early last night though. Yesterday I had to search like every Dry-Cleaners place because I left Corey's shirt there, and I couldn't find it, and I couldn't find another one that looked like it. So I had to search. It didn't help that like every dry-cleaners was owned by an Asian couple. >:[

Uh. So it's like Winter now. AND IT'S FREEZING! AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO WORK THE AC IN THIS PLACE!!!!! AND NOW IT'S LIKE -80 DEGREES CAUSE SOMEONE HAD TO TURN IT ALL THE WAY DOWN >:[ GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

I am off to call management. I need to know how to fix the AC. I'm like dead.

Sat, 07 Oct 2006 23:44:59 GMT

Hi. I'm JJ Hardy. I lack in having stability in my life and updating people on how my life is.

Actually. I've just been chillin' in ARIZONA with my bro Logan. You know regular OFFSEASON shit. I'm really happy to know that now it's just the playoffs going on without me, not all of baseball. I'm-a-comin back again (I got a taste of love in a simple way and if you need to know that I'm still standin'..) next year.

OKAY DAVID I GET IT! YOU NUDGED ME LIKE 1438576181 KABILLION TIMES JESUS! I UPDATE WHEN I UPDATE ALRIGHTIE BUDDY?!

And remind me to never get sent to a hospital ever again. Also to be more cleanly in hotels so you and your roommate don't swap shirts and then when you REALLY need a dress shirt you're stuck with a pink one that's meant to be worn by someone who's 6'6".

I'm not rooting for any team in the postseason. That's like rooting for the enemy. I don't do that.

You're the one who saw me through it all

Sat, 23 Sep 2006 14:38:57 GMT

I'M HOME!

I don't think I've ever kissed the ground, but if I haven't, then today, I definitely did.

So yeah. Today, I'm going to the ballpark to support the team on the bench. Should be a helluva lot more fun than that stupid hospital. :/

HALLELUJAH! THANK GOD ALMIGHTY I'M FREE AT LAST!

Dude Rickie still leads our team in stolen bases and he's on the fricken DL.

Anyways, yeah. My life had totally gone like borrrrring for like a week or two, forgot how long I was in there. I'munna play it safe and say two weeks. Hospital food sucks, so I had Corey and Rickie bring me food, cause I refused to eat hospital food.

We're going out tonight to celebrate A.) Rickie's birthday which was like the 13th, but they wouldn't let me out. And B.) Me being FREEEEE!!!!

Yeah I'm pretty cool again. Not that I wasn't when I was whiny and complainy all the time. But. I'm coolER

Okay. I'm done now.

Stay classy, Milwaukee

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Well look at me, I'ma comin' back again

Thu, 14 Sep 2006 02:55:05 GMT

:)

I'm happier than I've been in a while and quite frankly I don't know why.

This time, next week, I'll be 100% alright. A-Okay!

Um. Brewers lost one won one in Pittsburgh today. Too bad I'm not allowed to travel with the team yet.

Let me warn you now about next years team. It's gonna be me, Rickie, Gabe, Corey, and Prince, ALL STARTING! We're gonna be crazy cool and win like 100 games and then the World Series and I'll be like jhskdghaskdg! Happy!

I'M STILL STANDIN'!

Okay that's all. :)

Aren't we all glad to see JJ back to his normal ways? Please say yes.

Wake Me Up When September Ends

Mon, 11 Sep 2006 20:54:47 GMT

Dude 5 years ago today I was uh... like 19. Out of high school in the minors, and Me and Corey were on a road trip somewhere I can't even remember. But it was early and I was fuckin' pissed at him cause he woke me up sayin' the sky was falling, and I was like, "Corey shut up, the sky ain't fallin." So then he fucking threw a shoe at me, and said watch this, and we had it on FOX News, and there were planes crashing into tall buildings and I was FREAKED OUT!

Knowing me, JJ Hardy, I called my brother to make sure he was all okay and stuff, and HE WAS FUCKING PISSED! DUDE! I never knew he'd get so pissed about something, and 9/11 was the whole reason he joined the army and fought in Iraq and stuff. :/

5 years later I didn't think I'd be layin' in a fucking hospital bed, flipping between news channels and watching it all over again. But that's how things go.

The End.

September 11th, 2001. Those Middle East Fuckers thought they totally fucked us up, but Kiss Our American Asses Osama Bin Ladin.

I remeber when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind.

Fri, 01 Sep 2006 02:08:31 GMT

OH MY GOSH I DO NOT KNOW WHERE I AM GOING!

Try driving around, in Carlos Lee's car, trying to get around a city you never payed attention to when you were there. I managed to get myself LOST about 8 times, I found a Mexican Restraunt, The Cheesecake Factory, and I got myself some cheesecake (!!!), and then I got myself to where the Nuggets play. NOT THE SPORT I WAS LOOKING FOR JESUS CHRIST!

My hair is getting in my face it needs to be cut. I look like skinny little emo kid who can fit into girls size 0 jeans, which isn't REALLY the case so don't think that. I'm not that skinny. And plus Rickie e-mailed me all this stupid stuff about stupid eating disorders. Because he thinks I have an eating disorder. Psh. Rickie has too much time on his hands.

I decided not to get lost in this Northern City again, so I am in my hotel room trying to get the Brewers game on. COME ON! THIS NORTHERN CITY IS IN OUR BREWERS REGION!

I really need to get off the DL, cause I get too bored, and when I'm bored I just cause trouble, and that's not good.

Waaaaake me uppppp when Septemberrrrr endssss!

Lights will guide you home

Wed, 30 Aug 2006 22:29:39 GMT

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!!

Stupid Logan >:[ He's such a douche. Made me go to a stupid psyciatrist. And now I have happy pills. Gosh.

I am boycotting Coors field now, okay? Okay. Cause they stole our idea for having a beer sponsor your ball park, and that's not cool.

It's almost labor day. NO WEARING WHITE ANYMORE, WHAT?!

OH MY GOODNESS! THE ARIZONA CARDINALS ARE SO COOL!

You wanna be me? You can't be me! I'm a ROCKSTAR!

25 days until I go back to Milwaukee to go see my teammates for the last time EVER UNTIL NEXT YEAR IN LIKE FEBRUARY! OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!

Guess what? My ankle feels better today, but I have this NASTY SCAR ON IT! Like on my shoulder. WANNA SEE MY SCARS!

Okay how many times did I say Oh my gosh/Oh my goodness in this post? First one to get it right gets a cracker.

I BETTER SHAPE UP!!! CAUSE YOU NEED A MAN!

Sun, 27 Aug 2006 21:57:54 GMT

I cannot believe I've stayed sane for 4 months without playing a single baseball game.

I forgot to update ya'll on my stupid ankle's status. They took off the huge like cast cast and now they gave me this brace thing that I have to wear until the end of September, and then I'm okay to be normal again. I'm ready to murder my doctor. He doesn't know what he's talking about, and I know it!! I know it!!!

This is the first time I've updated in back-to-back days for like a long time.

What else is there to say...? But it's only like 2 months until I go to Spain! That'll be really fun! Because I'll be in Spain and stuff. Yo hablo espanol!!!!

Rickie says they won't let crazy people on planes. Yeah now my own friends are thinking I'm insane. My mental state of mind isn't what it should be, I know that. It'll all blow over by February. Let's see that's what... 6 months? Holy Jesus I'm gonna go insane by then.

The good thing is the plane won't like be to heavy to fly cause I weigh less than probably everyone on there. Yes even if there are children under the age of 6 on the plane.

This is all.

What hurts the most, is being so close, and having so much to say, and watching you walk away.

Sun, 27 Aug 2006 02:42:22 GMT

BAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I dunno what that was all about. I think this DL thing is getting to my mental state of mind.

The 12 days of JJ is still going on. Just to let ya'll know. :D

I really do not have that much of a life to where I could tell you about what I was doing. I'm pretty much in Phoenix with Rickie and Logan because minus Logan, we're all on the DL forever.

To update you on the team's status, we lost to Florida today 7-2. Carlos Lee still has the highest batting average on the Team and he's not even here. Gosh. We're still only 6 and a half games out of first place and that really bothers me because we shouldn't be, really.

To quote a song that was really popular last year, Wake Me Up When September Ends.

I'm ready to shoot myself. Really I am. Loneliness and the DL do not mix to well.

I could just bang my head against the wall 40 times.

Yes I am back in that state again.

BRING BACK THE ANTIDEPRESSANTS!!!!! INJESCT NUTRITION INTO MY VEINS! BETTER YET! GET THE SHOTGUN OFF THE WALL!

I need sleeping pills and a beer.

Why do I have so many highs and lows?

Okay this is it from Phoenix. I think I'll go drive in a circle. Or something. Until I crash into a palm tree.

Sun, 20 Aug 2006 00:18:40 GMT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME!!!!!!!!

Ya'll better have sent my presents to Milwaukee. AND THEY'D BEST BE THERE WHEN I GET BACK!

Jeez. I've almost been around for a quarter of a century. That'll be next year. Right now I'm just 24. Tonight me, Rickie, his brother Jemile (who's way cooler than Rickie :P), and my brother Logan are all going out to turn Phoenix inside out. :D I've got at least a day or two to recover before I have any other plans. Haha.

I got a call from Carlos Lee this morning at like three, and he was singing Happy Birthday. I thought that was pretty cool. All my teammates have called off and on all day and all that jazz. :) It's nice to be loved so much.

I have the right to be lazy today. But. Not now. I have to finish getting ready to go out on the town. Woo hoo.

Happy Birthday to Meeeee!

Highway run, into the midnight sun

Tue, 15 Aug 2006 00:15:00 GMT

So I'm in Phoenix. And Rickie's got surgery tomorrow. Sucks for him. Me and Jemile are prolly gonna hand out in the Hospital place and sleep on the couches til Rickie decides to wake up. Wow I live such an interesting life.

So we're all goin' down to Tucson to go visit my parentals, because I guess they were cool and got me a birthday present! YAY! And I saw Logan yesterday. Pretty much it's the Hardy-Weeks family reunion only not.

Anyways. That's about it.

WHERE ARE ALL MY PRESENTS?! DO I HAVE NO FRIENDS?! Actually. No. I do. But. The presents have to be in Phoenix, TO ME, by Saturday, OR ELSE! Kidding. But a present would be nice.

JJ's gotten thin, JJ's running out of time, and you're running out the door

Fri, 11 Aug 2006 19:52:01 GMT

GUESS WHAT! I'M STILL ALIVE!

It's my birthday in like 8 days! YAY!

So me and Rickie are flaying out to Phoenix on Sunday, cause he's having surgery out there, and I've decided to see Logan and the family, and Rickie's bro Jemile is coming out too. So that'll be pretty cool. AND I'M GONNA BE IN PHOENIX FOR A LONG TIME OKAY?!

That's about it. Just making sure y'all know I'm still alive!

I'd follow you anywhere, your place or mine

Fri, 04 Aug 2006 15:51:18 GMT

Queue funky 70s music that makes me wanna dance!

HI COREY, COME BACK SOON, PLEASE! RICKIE'S SUCH A BAD INFLUENCE!

Needless to say, I really do stay at home all day and mope about my ankle. Oh woe is me! THE HORRIBLE LIFE OF BEING ON THE DL AND DOING AB-SO-LUTLEY NOTHING ALL. DAY. LONG. I also sleep a lot. Not that that's a big surprise to anyone but...

Anyways so everyone better be thinking of gift ideas for me. Yes, ya'll are obligated to get me presents, cause it's my bithday in 15 days. :) So. 15 days everyone. And actually my birthday isn't just on my birthday. I celebrate the 12 Days of JJ.

I think on my actual birthday Rickie's taking me out and we're pretty much gonna tear up the town. I MEAN... I'M GOING TO STAY AT HOME LIKE A GOOD SHORTSTOP WHO'S ON THE DL AND EAT A CAKE. Wow I'm gonna have 24 candles on the cake. That's enough to start a small fire. I feel OLD.

Well anyways I've gotta totally humiliate Rickie even more by beating him in Madden as the Arizona Cardinals. I think Logan and Rickie's bro, Jemile are coming up for my birthday :)

El Fin.
(EL CABALLO :( COME BACK CARLOS LEE THE RANGERS ARE STUPID!)

Feels like my touch only brings back the pain, Someday those memories will fade away

Mon, 31 Jul 2006 15:57:27 GMT

My ankle reallyreally hurts. This is my own fault because I chose to walk on it without crutches and probably fucked it up all over again. Eh, it'll heal. IT. WILL. HEAL.

Anyways so now that Rickie's on the DL we spend our days laying on couches watching cheesey movies and eating junk food. I do believe I've gained back all weight that I might have lost, and maybe then some. I'm a fatty. Actually I saw a picture of myself from when I was sickly skinny and it wasn't good. My shoulders were like boney. Eh, not good. I'm glad that I have some fat to me now.

But anywhoo. Rickie and I watched The Replacements yesterday, then RENT, and then Black Hawk Down. We have to send Corey to go get us more movies. Heh. I am now dying to see Anchorman for the 400th time. I've been quoting that movie all weekend.

Like my new icon? It makes me look like I have a serious mullet going on. I DO NOT HAVE A MULLET!

Alright, that's all folks.
