I just was in line behind the Chargers kicker Nate Kaeding the other day and of course being the person that I am I said &#8220;Nate! right? I&#8217;m Willie Chambers and a huge charger fan-great game last week and nice to meet you.&#8221; I shook his hand. He said &#8220;Thanks and nice to meet you too.&#8221; He seemed nice but was actually pretty shy. Anyways, I like meeting random celebrities. It makes great conversation. I thought about it and being a kicker is a job that not many can relate too. A lot of pressure and a lot of standing around. Anyways, he&#8217;s pretty good so I&#8217;m glad we have him on the Chargers. That would be a great job being a kicker. I am just blabbing bear with me thanks.<\/p>\n<p>I went on a pretty sweet adventure on my friends boat with a crew of 6 friends from San Diego all the way over to my family&#8217;s place in Avalon on Catalina Island. When we were on the island we were drinking these great drinks called Buffalo Milk&#8217;s which tasted like White Russians with a little Bailey&#8217;s Irish Creme in them. Tasty. This one random girl hanging out with friends at the bar we were at by the casino came over and bought me a shot in front of all of our friends. They all started to tease me. I was pretty flattered and it made me feel great. Girls buying shots for guys? What a concept! It kinda freaked me out when she told me that the shot was called &#8220;Red Death&#8221; but I drank it and it actually was really good. Oh yeah, and I didn&#8217;t turn red or die&#8230; so that was good too. <\/p>\n<p>The waves were pretty big on the way to the island and it took us about 3 hours to speed our red and white 45 foot cigarette boat called the &#8220;Fast Break II&#8221; from SD but it was well worth it. On the way back it was a perfect sunny day and glassy and smooth as could be! Our boat sped along like a snowboarder gliding on fresh powder. We had a stroke of luck and saw 100&#8217;s of dolphins during the trip back! We even saw a whale! I was so stoked! I probably took 100 pictures with my iPhone of mostly nothing trying to capture some dolphins catching some air &#8211; after a lot of misses I finally I got a cool shot that I was hoping for-I randomly got 2 dolphins catching some great air at the same time-sweet. <\/p>\n<p>Lot&#8217;s of catching up to do on this blog thingy because I haven&#8217;t written in a while-went to a cool Santa Barbara show and saw my friend&#8217;s band 5-Alarm play on State Street. It was a blast. The lead singer of 5-Alarm is Christian Love and he is the son of the legendary lead singer Mike Love of The Beach Boys. He sounds a lot like his Dad. With a name like Mr. Love you get a lot of girls looking your way that&#8217;s for sure. Just messing around, (but it is true) Christian is a good guy and we&#8217;ve had fun playing lots of shows together with different bands through the years. Hopefully more to come soon. <\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, I have to go but I just put out my first solo album so you have to go check it out!<br \/>Free song samples of the entire album at www.cdbaby.com\/WillieChambers<br \/>Thanks for posting that link for friends to check out and I hope you enjoy the new songs!<br \/>I&#8217;ve been writing a lot at the mansion so lots of new music to come, thanks for staying in touch,<br \/>:-)Willie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>wow. life is such a rush. these past few months have been all over the place with extremes. after working on some real estate projects with a nice generous woman that I will keep annonymous for no particular reason over the summer, I found myself living in an empty $10,000,000 mansion with Kristen and my [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/williechambers.com\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/williechambers.com\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/williechambers.com\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williechambers.com\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williechambers.com\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/williechambers.com\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/williechambers.com\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williechambers.com\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williechambers.com\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
