Again

So there I am, Friday night, Playing hockey in soaking cold hockey equipment. It only took a couple lengths of the rink before it appeared that I was sweating. The heavy equipment added a couple of pounds to my gear. SO, there I was couple of lengths later, sweating my bag off...

I joined the team not even aware that there was a goalie. I didnt know what positions were available. I love to play forward. I get to be balls deep in the offense, standing if front of the net. Trying to steal the puck from the defense, getting break aways, the most exciting part of the game.




So during the stretches we chat about whos playing D. The circle of guys start shouting out what they are playing, and its going in a circle, and I say "what ever." That is later on changed to D. Knowing I would get more ice time. I dont mind sitting back. Watching the cherry pickers, making the big poke checks, clearing the net of screens, making the occasional hip check.

Im still drying off my gear, its sitting outside in a drizzle of rain. I'll let it sit for a while longer, if it starts to clear up, it will dry. If not, Im going to have to find a tarp, or even put it in the car hold (garage for you non-simpsons watchers).





I love hockey, I dont care if Im watching the game and cheering for a team that no one likes. Or playing and scoring a hat trick.

Hockey is a great game!

No time to waste

I did it, caught the guarder belt...
Im tall, dark, athletic, and best of all single. What does this myth mean. Does this mean Im supposed to get married next.
I dont think so, Im just hoping it subliminally puts me in a mind set that gets me on track.
Marrige, its a life time commitment that says you love someone, want to spend your life with a person.
and ever since the dawn of time, people have rushed into marrige. The old ball and chain. over time the whole commitment has ment less and less with more people realizing they might have made a mistake, or in their minds they belive they will find a better realtionship with someone else. But really.
Married with children, they wake you up in the morning, might get you in a bad mood. you live with your spose. cabin fever sets in, what did i do.

This is going to happen to everyone...no matter what

Forgiveness and 2ed chances are what you are going to have to get use to. Arguments are going to happen, and you are going to have to realize that no 2 people are the same. Ideas have different angles, and a different point of view is not always bad.
Im still young and learning social patters, behaviours, and i will never fully understand the ladies thoughts...
I just hope to learn enough to get by

What makes hair stand up

I was watching a DVD set the other day. It was about sharks. This guy was swimming around with the great white sharks, and playing with them. Hanging off the dorsal fin. tickling the noses.



At one point in the show the shark he was playing with, got scared off, and the swimmer (AKA the shark man) didnt know why. All of a sudden a shark about twice the size he was playing with was curious what he was, and started to bump him.

This made my hair stand.
Why?

Last day of summer

Im pretty sure today was the last nice day of the summer.

Iv been waiting for this for a couple of weeks, and I seized every ray of sun I could.


Next up.

-40...without the wind chill...



ready or not, here I come

Relative

When Im woken up in the morning, I wonder what time it is. Some times I get to close my eyes, not worry about when I have to get dressed, eat, and run out the door to try and be on time for work.

All my alarms are on time for me to respond accordingly.

These alarms are not limited to when I am unaware of the time. Some alarms are triggered by other peoples actions.

I keep a close watch on my toast. I dont like toast to browned. I like a soft middle with the surface of the bread just turning brown. The time varies from the size of the toaster, to the size of the bread. Time varies.



When I bike. I like challenging obstacles. With a full suspension bike this makes the balancing of myself magnified. I can slowly pedal over steep slopes, and plan my way without having to stop. But if I ever foresee myself getting stuck I try to stop myself before getting shot over the handle bars. But if I know im getting shot over, I let go of the bike, and try to land without injuries. Time only is relivent becase of the time it takes me to realize my situation.




As I was driving to Yellowknife, coming from rea edzo. I pass the airport to my right. Its a smaller airport. As I pass it I come up to the intersection of the old airport road, and the road that I can take to Ingram trail. I go stright, but I realize the person at the stop sign doesnt know I am even here. If you dont know this intersection, its a T- shaped intersection. So the person is taking a left. and Im to his left. but he doesnt look left. And begins to turn. I swerve into the left lane. face incomeing traffic. and quickly swerve back to my lane, barly missing the truck i would have had a head on collision with, and barly missing the truck i would have t boned. I swear and cuse at all the drivers here in Yellowknife. they all suck
