So here I sit, sinus headache, body hurting from hockey... it's snowing and I just put on 3 Gary Numan CD's to sooth the savage beast inside that wants to be at home under covers and all warm and toasty....

This is that time of year where you start thinking about the many things you wish you had done, and had not done... well let me tell you my list is only getting longer... and longer... and longer.... and not on the good side it seems.

Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day, mine was relaxing... Lots of cheezy flix on TV and caught a college hockey game as well.

Anyone want to go to the Outlaws game with me tonite? I have 1 extra ticket that I can't find anyone that is in town to go with me :) Let me know.

UPDATE: I have a taker for the ticket... maybe next time.

Wait... did I hear that right? SNOW on Wednesday? WTF!!!!

I had a gut feeling that this winter was going to get pretty nasty, and if we are getting snow this early things could be really nasty in January around here.

In other news I did pretty much nothing over the weekend, I decided to go to a friends on Saturday night and play some poker, I didn't win at all, but it got to a point where there were 3 people at the table that were holding all the chips and us guys hanging on to the short stacks needed to take some chances to try and catch up... Oh well. It was fun atleast.

I'm trying to find the good part of what is happening at work and honestly I can't seem to find it. Somehow I'm not supposed to be involved in one paticular area, but on the other hand I'm the senior in that area, so I'm always having to get involved. I have a sneaky suspicion one of my cow-orkers is a sneaky little bitch that needs to be stomped out like a smoldering cigerette butt... so now is the time when we stay silent a bit and wait for the mistake. The Bible Thumper I know is a talker, and the other one is a little whiner that wants everyone to think he is cool... so many ways for them to slip. But then I have to ask myself is it worth the trouble? We shall see I guess.

Well this week was a great week of hockey, both nights were good fun and competetive. Now if I can just figure out something to do on those other nights that I want some kind of workout on that doesn't entail a sweaty gym with lots of people that you wouldn't want to talk to if you were being forced to at gun point.

Not to get political, but last night on my drive home from work I heard an NPR reporter call the citizen's of Faluga as "Falugen's", I could have sworn we just had a shortage of vaccines for that... sorry... bad joke, just went thru my head and couldn't get it out until now.

Oh and I was told today that I wasn't to meddle in the affairs of the other two dumbass's on my "team" at work. Which would infact make it less of a team right? Besides the point they all never cease to piss me off on the daily bases. Oh never mind me, the guy who has more experience with thier jobs than they do... anyone have a job opening for a 10 year UNIX Admin / WebServer guy?

Not to get political or anything but what is up with France? I just heard this morning on my way in to work about thier involvement with the fiasco in the Ivory Coast. As it turns out the government out there decided to restart a civil war by bombing the crap outta some "rebel" area's in the north, in which case it killed a handful of French soldiers and one American aid worker... So what does France do? They completely wipe out the small Ivory Coast air force... Hrmmm, something about this stinks and I don't mean in a "something went bad in the fridge" kinda way.

While I step down from my soap box I have 2 other things;

1) That whole "done with women" thing? Well I'm done with that now...

2) Hockey wore me out last night, but was by far one of the best nights playing I think I've had, we didn't win, but it was a great competetive game.

For some reason I can't stop listening to the Buzzcocks... they are the holiday season for me, keep your Christmas musak, I'll take newwave anyday.

Pretty easy weekend all in all, Friday I hermited and watched Super Size Me, and I now have no desire to goto McDonalds for anything ever again. It's one thing to know that it is junk pretty much, but to have it physically effect you in a way that your doctor is telling you to stop it or you might do damage beyond repair? Good God keep me free from double quarter pounders and fries.

Saturday night I had way too much BBQ at BB Lawnside and saw the Queen of K.C. Blues "Cotton Candy" which is always a good time, Chill and M.Toast were kind enough to let me tag along for that.

Sunday I cleaned house, (which I need to finish up this week), and watched way to many things I have filled my DVR with. I also got to catch the majority of the MLS championship game. I think it's amazing that people weren't paying attention to that more since the Chiefs are falling apart this year.

This week seems to be heading towards the busy side of things as far as work goes, boring work, but work non-the-less...

Okay so let me point out that my being "done with women" isn't a forever thing, I will not become Morrisey. I just need to take a break and get my head on straight with about 50 other things before I seriously think about any other relationships in my life. Sometimes you have to spend some time with yourself before you truely know what you want from others, and from yourself, which is what I'm going through right now. Ya I know, "cry me a river!"...

News Flash!

I'm really tired today... I'm having to get up and walk around to stay alert today. But hockey last night was good, even though I really felt it in my lower back like never before. They say that if you aren't hurting in your shins and lower back you aren't doing it right, well I can safely say last night I was doing it "right".

So it's pretty official at this point, I'm done with women for awhile. I just never seem to make things work with the women that are interested in me, and the ones that I'm interested in seem to be a complete test of wills until things fall apart in a nasty atom bomb sort of way. So that's it, I'm going to be the freaky old single guy who dies alone and gives all his estate to his dog. The sad part about this is I know I'm full of shite, and just saying it to try and convence myself... sigh ...

You know, I think it's time to simplify life in general. In retrospect I have a great life, good friends, great pets, great family, and a secure job that pay's well. I am going to rent another 6 months until I find just the right house to buy, which will allow me more time to get some money saved, and some more debt out of the way. Maybe establish a few more things in my life that I need to do, like a better work out routine, a better diet, and more fun.

I have found that when I eat something like McDonalds I get cranky... well more so than usual anyways, I had a feeling that was the case awhile ago, but I really felt like it was the truth this weekend. So no more Junk food for me.

I think part of this comes from reading "It's not about the Bike: My Journey back to life" by Lance Armstrong. This thing has kept me up late nites recently, to the point that I don't want to read much more of it so I can make it last longer. It's a great book that takes you through his struggle with cancer, and gives you perspective from a patients point of view, as well as what a great support system is like. Great book I highly recommend.

Sorry folks, I had to take a break from the world for a bit... Which sometimes is the great equalizer in my life, time to put up with myself and only myself, which I find when not showering I tend to stink.

Other than going into all my self absorbed bull shite I figured I'd call together the Justice League, otherwise known as a Blogger Meetup at Harry's Country Club (in River Market) on this coming Thursday, nothing like good chats, drinks and those damned Blue Crab Corn Fritters from that place to put things straight.

Other than that, I think I am not going to leave my fortress of solitude for another 6 months, gotta find just the right place before I buy it ya know? And house hunting bites the wonka! Even though there is this older lady I have had my eye on, but I won't pay what they want... I'm a sucker for older ladies... And yes Joe it's in the "Historic North East".

Happy belated Halo-Day to you all!

I had a very enjoyable weekend, filled with Haunted Houses, Bad Movies, and consuming of beverages! Spent time with someone I can honestly call a good friend.

Today I'm just waiting for that horn to scream so I can go home and nap before hockey tonite... please let this afternoon get over with... please?
