Chalk up another loss for us! YAY! We’re now 0-2 thanks to the nice loss of a score of 5-2, which brings me to a -4.

Don’t understand +/-? Neither do I, really. I think it’s scored as you get a plus everytime your team scores a goal on the ice, and a negative for every time the other team scores while you’re on the ice. It sort of gives you an idea of who isn’t doing their job on the ice.

Last period, I get leveled by someone on the other team, I get up and get leveled by my other winger. Nice. I hit my head pretty hard on the ice, ’cause I wasn’t expecting it. Good thing I wear a helmet. Then again, right now, it feels like I wasn’t wearing one. =( Oh well, I’m sure we’ll do better next time, so I can boost my numbers some, and maybe get out of the negative…

Wheeee, less than 2 more hours until the season premiere!!! Oh, moO, it’s G-R-O-C-E-R-Y.

I talked to Sony’s Service Department, they’re hopeful my CLI

So, a couple of weeks ago I had to send my CLI

Stupid Safeway just gave me a mail in rebate for buying Coke products. IT’S FOR ONE DOLLAR! I have to mail in a $1 rebate and wait 4-6 weeks to get it. IT’S ONE DOLLAR! I lose money on a stamp! So, I only really only get a stupid 63 CENTS! Is that really worth it? Wait! I forgot, I have to pay for an envelope to send it in too! OH, the humanity. Someone want a rebate?

Square does it again! Starting with the Final Fantasy series, they’ve built themselves up a lot. Now they come up with ”Kingdom Hearts!” You’ve probably already seen the commercial on TV. The theme song, I found out, is sung by Utada Hikaru! The game looks like it’ll be a kiddie cartoony game, but none the less, it actually looks fun. It’s a weird fusion Disney cartoon with Japanese Anime style characters, featuring some old Final Fantasy characters! So far, I’ve seen a clip of Cloud, Aeris, and it’s weird ’cause they added a voice to him and the other Final Fantasy characters who previously did not have voices. Also starring in this Squaresoft production is a whole slew of Disney characters, both good and evil, and I mean A LOT! Characters such as Hades, Goofy, Donald, and Maleficent, to name not even close to half, play parts in this magnificent looking game. If you’re familiar with summoning, you’ll appreciate the fact that you can summon characters like Simba (from the ”Lion King”) to help you out on your journey. Don’t like RPGs? Tough, ’cause you’re probably missing out on a good game. Actually, from clips and SSs the battle system looks more like a Zelda/Street Fighter game. I’ll post more if I ever get around to getting this one. I still have a lot of games to play. This one is a MUST get!

Yes, that’s the name of the hockey team that I’m playing with now. I’m playing at the Ice Centre in San Jose now. Today was the first game of the season. Yeah, I don’t really want to talk about it right now. Needless to say, I wasn’t really on my game today. We managed to lose 1-5. I scored a goal though… For the other team. It went of my skate and into my goal. How stupid is that? I did managed to draw a lot of penalties today, something around four today. That might be a personal best. Too bad it didn’t help any. So, yeah, I was beat up pretty well today. The last hit I took was from behind, I was skating towards the puck that was in the corner of the other end, and then I get crosschecked into the boards and slam my elbow into the boards. Penalty! After I got up, and got my bearings, the center on my team asked me, ”What are you made of, rubber?” I guess it’s ’cause I took so many hits today, and just got back up to play. I gotta get back on the treadmill and work on my stamina again…

So, yeah, I’m still running on the treadmill, as much as my body will allow me. I try to eat LOTS less bad food, thanks to moO’s influence. I am still spending a LOT of money on Jamba Juice. It’s healthier, but expensive. I have to rethink the healthy part though. I always get the Berry Lime Sublime Powersize no boost. Maybe I should get a boost. Anyone have any recommendations? I found out that my drink is about 560 calories!!! So, I can’t eat all that much the rest of the day. I’m not on any diet, but I’m still trying to lose some holiday insulation from 2 years ago. So, I still try to get under 2000 calories. Hrm, OK, that sounds like a ”diet,” call it what you wish.

After much, MUCH time, I finally beat another Final Fantasy. Previously this was my FF record. FF7 – Beat, FF8 – Last boss, FF9 – Eh, I played it a little, FFX – Still in the plastic wrap. Sad. I managed to beat FF9 this week, that is, after 60 some odd hours. Sad. I’m told it can be done in 13! I’m aiming for finishing FF8 before I play 10. I tried to beat 8 a couple times, unsuccessful. *Sigh* I gotta get a job designing games. No, wait. I’ll settle for A job… Well, you know what I mean.

You think you have bad neighbors? Think again. Check out: ”Redneck Neighbors.” And to think, yesterday, my mom yelled at me because I was throwing away trash and recyclables away at 12 AM in the morning! Now, there’s something to complain about!

Ah the things people do for money. I’ve gotten an email before stating they’re from nigeria, or something rather, and they have an excess of $19Mil but can’t get to it, and they need my help. hrm… Hope no one I know has fallen for it. Well, next time you do get one, you should play with them a little, kind of like this guy. It’s pretty long, but if you’re bored like I am most of the time, it’s worth the read.

Last night at 10PM, I started up ice hockey again. I need some sort of physical activity again… other than sleeping or sitting up while I type on the keyboard. Ok to be fair to myself, I have been running on the treadmill, so, ok. I still need more activities. I need to somehow shed oh… 15… err… 30lbs… or more, whatever. I gotta look as sick as I did in High School, ok I never looked sick… Healthy I guess was the word… or is healthy what you call people with some holiday fat? um whatever… So yeah, I kept this game somewhat on the downlow, mainly ’cause I figured no one would come anyway, ok the real reason? I didn’t want everyone so see how out of shape I am… I managed to get moO and my parents to go watch me, though, with my dad grumbling like, ”Why do I have to come if he has [moO] going”. So, whatever, I had my own support team up in the stand.

Actually, it wasn’t so bad. I mean, I really did look… not at the top of my game… But, I was afraid I’d feel MUCH worse. So, in the second period we were down 3-1. (did I mention were a new ”franchise”, the other teams had these snazzy pro type jerseys) I started out at center, which quickly killed my stamina. (jeez, gimmie a break, I haven’t played in like 2-3 months!) and was moved to right wing. Not a position I’m used to, as I used to play center. (the phrase is: USED TO)

So, let me paint a picture for you, kind of like in baseball: bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, tie score, full count, you’re up to bat, only more dramatic. Ok, its our first game, so maybe not so dramatic. I’m 1 on 1 with the goalie… oh and the guy in between us. I’m skating alone to them, a few dekes waiting as long as I can to close the distance between us for a good shot, I let it go, GOAL! YAY! I get the winning goal of the game. How cool is that?!

Ok, we didn’t win any championship, I’m still tired as heck, so maybe not so cool. Well, I guess it’s cool I got a goal. I mean it was bad enough I showed the guys my horrible stamina on the ice. My only excuse was, ”I’m getting old.” To which I added a chuckle, since most of the guys there were much, or not so much, older than me. I haven’t yet been able to show my true ability on ice… Or did I? Nah, I know I can do better. I just gotta keep on at it. Keep running, maybe even go to Hockey Work-Out, go to some free-skate over there at Vallco.

Hey, wait a minute! I should still have like 9 free passes to my account there! LOL I paid for them like when I had money and never used them. Guess where I’ll be going every so often… Well, time for me to rest. I’ve had a strenuous night.
