Been meaning to update for some time with another pre-determined collection of thoughts.

First thing, something I that I read that I wanted to share . . . to maybe help explain something that I'm known for:

One of the beautiful things about sports is that, even when you feel terrible, at least you feel. Sports taps into emotions we guard for ( Read more... )

Okay, a long time coming with this update. Was going to do one of those retrospectives around the time of my birthday. As that slipped, I was going to do it around New Years and expound how I loathe the New Year's Resolution. But, I didn't. A lot of self-censoship, a lot of laziness and just being crushed under the weight of all that I intended ( Read more... )

FUCK YOU, PAUL MARTIN.
Really. What an incredibly assinine thing to do. That kind of garbage is not befitting a democracy that prides itself on personal freedoms of thoughts and expressions. Enjoy your time bending over for the President.

You've lost my respect, and my vote.

Godspeed, Carolyn Parrish.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEV-SLED!

Too bad I can't afford to get you a Palm Tonguesten.

I went down hard in the first half of last night's game. Jumped into the end zone, my foot curled over and I went crashing down with all my weight on it. Much, much pain. The crunching sounds as I went down on it were interesting to behold. :-) Massey and Lev had to help me off the field ( Read more... )

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm updating. Let's not get our panties in a knot about it. (I believe I said something quite similar to that when I first unveiled my shaved head.) This - probably - is mainly for me to look back on and read when I'm in some other state and some other mood. The other side of this. When I get to that damned island ( Read more... )

I'm not sure that I've ever been so upset after watching a hockey game.

Unbelievable.

As an aside . . . did I hear correctly? If a team pulls its goalie during overtime, they automatically lose the point they already earned if the game ends in a draw -- is that right? That doesn't sound right. How stupid and exciting.Also . . . I was hesitant ( Read more... )

In the next room, on an unattended television, an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond plays out. This show has always frustrated me a great deal. Not because of it's lack of anything funny, but because this Raymond character has nearly everything I want in my life, and he's apathetic and ungrateful about it ( Read more... )
