Woooooo… Anyone in the San Jose area NOT witness the HUGE thunder this morning say 5:20am? Thunder so loud it could wake the dead. No, seriously, it woke me up, and moO tells me that’s a feat not accomplished easily. moO says it hit somewhere in San Jose, but SJ is pretty big, and I didn’t see anything about it on or in the news anywhere. I’m sure if no one died, no one in the media really cares. Kinda like that summer thunder storm we had over here, no coverage, nothing. But it was big enough for Saratoga Police to roam the hills kicking people off the hills for loitering, and oddly enough just parked their car and watch from their view. Stupid cops.

Anyone want a great Tempest Arcade game? I’m getting rid of mine so I can, hopefully, park my car in the damn garage one of these years. I’d rather sell it to someone I know, so I put it here. Email me if you’re interested.

Ah, my slump returns for another week. The team we played was very snipy right from the first drop of the puck. I didn’t get into a fight with the goalie this week. I’m going to write like a 6 year old now. From the stats, looks like we had a STRONG 2nd period. But I was surprised to see we didn’t score any in the 3rd. I played like crap yesterday, didn’t help that I was clipped with a knee-to-knee contact early on. Stupid laces, brand new and a little too short even though they’re like 128″ or something. I never get the right size. I wonder, did I even get any chances last night? I know I came out with a -2 last night. Damnit. I need to stop working and exercise more, so I can condition for hockey more. Blah, must stop, getting depressed. <^>

Ok, so I got a little lazy, sue me. I had to work OT last night. Well, anyway, another game we let slip away. I know we worked hard in the first, but I don’t know why this team took it away from us. They weren’t better. We just got careless. I know Marshall messed up his groin in the first, so that hurt us as well. Hope you’re better now Marshall. I had a few stupid chances up front the goal. I made a few nice moves from the boards to the goal, but lost it last second and didn’t see Mike crashing the net and basically took what looked like a short pass from me to him back and lost a chance. Bah, I suck. I’ve been in a slump for a while. Time to get my ass back in the game!

Courtesy of the guys at work: G.I. Joe Public Service Announcements. You all remember those right? At the end of each G.I. Joe episode a short moral was shown to the viewers. I think many cartoons of those days did. Didn’t Transformers and Inspector Gadget have those too? Anyway, in the above link are videos taken from the G.I. Joe cartoons then dubbed with some funny ass sh*t. I dunno why, it just is. Go watch. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. ”Who wants a body massage?” “Nice catch, blanco ni

Ha, another goalie got in my face. Man, one of these days. We had a pretty full bench this week. I’ve been in a scoring slump lately. Time to pick up my skates and start crashing the net more… Um, figuratively speaking, of course. Seriously, I don’t know they goalies problems. If they’d look up once in a while, they’d see their teammater right behind me with their gloves and stick on my back pushing me into them. But, of course not. Goalies have to be p*ssies about it and bitch. Good thing our team takes care of our goalie, Rich. I don’t see any of the goalies out there, with their team backing them up. That says alot. Sure, call me a “little man”, ok, fat man, stop bitching like a p*ssy and play the game.

Ok, so, I’m late again, deal with it HA. Yesterday, was my day off and today I had to deal with some food poisoning. No, we didn’t get drunk last night and I’m calling it food poisoning. But, we still aren’t sure which of the food was bad.

Anyway, after a period of nothing and a lot of hard work we managed to pull this one off. At first I was sorry for the girl on the other team when Joey straight crosschecked her, however, I lost that feeling when I got the puck in the corner and I cut hard to the goal and she clipped my skates under me and I flew into the boards pretty hard. Damn, another game no points, what am I to do? Work harder next week! Cya then.

Ok, here’s the deal, everyone. I’ve changed my cell phone again. Yesterday, I went with moO to Verizon and got a LG VX6000 camera phone. So, everyone buy one of those so we can text and pix each other. LOL I got unlimited txt/pix. So, yeah, I no longer have the AT&T phone. Actually, you can reach Shia on the phone now! Welcome to the 1990’s Shia! LOL. So, I know no one really reads this, but if you do and you want my new number, email me!

Today a family friend, Al, was buried. He passed away from a heart attack at a really young age. Al was in the Air Force during the Vietnam war. So he was buried down past Gilroy in Gustine in the San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery. Al, didn’t have any family or a will, so the stupid city gets all the money and posessions. I’m gonna miss him this Thanksgiving, as every year for Thanksgiving and some holidays he used to come over and eat with us. Being his next of kin my parents received the flag that was on top of his casket. Now we gotta find a flag holder to display it. Al, you’ll always be in our hearts and prayers. We’ll think of you this Thanksgiving.
