The quarterback's arm was....coming forward....

Just going through the motions. Havent been able to play hockey, but its over since we lost our playoff game this past sunday. Maybe i'll play next year maybe not. Its no fun.

Work still sucks. So many people there don't give a damn and are lazy. Certain people dont care about others, some dont do any work at all. Seems like this comes up every time i post, eh? My knee still is sore, dont know whats up with that.

On the bright side, im going to see The Rolling Stones in Hershey on October 1. Sure it might be 20 years too late, but ill be able to say ive been to the Rolling Stones, 20 years from now. They've completely sold out Hershey Stadium, and every other damn place they've scheduled. Few months away, but i cant wait. Yes!

Today is College Boys birthday. So we will drink. Plus its been 4 years since Doug Duncan died, so we will have to toast him in rememberance.

But i swear by this song, and by all that ive done wrong...i cant make it all up to thee!

Well, i cant play hockey thanks to Todd. My knee is pretty wrecked. I haven't been to the doctor or anything since i have no insurance. I think its just a hyperextention, but maybe its more than that. Shit. I cannot extend it, or really bend it this way or that if i dont want to end up on the ground crying.

Went out boozing tonight with the usual suspects. Im blown out ill tell you. It was worth it though. I'll start with the fact that i love red heads. A certain ex-coworker showed up and i LOVE her . She was blown, i was blown, why not be blown together naked and sweaty? Id seriously kill two men with a blow torch to see her naked. Or a to have a cup of coffee. shit. id give a Cup up to bang her. Haha, kidding. But seriously i would. Shes hotter than Lava.

Red Sox lost today. Wells is a bitch. Hockey would be in the conference finals by now.

Current Mood: how did i not get DUI tonight?

Like a bird on the wire...like a drunk in a midnight choir...i have tried in my way to be free....

I guess i'm back to regular posting here or something. Closed Fridays out tonight. Its getting back to the summer dolldrums. Its never really busy except for the weekends. Tonight was pretty slow. Let Ana out around 8 and save a few big tops, it was molasses.

The hockey team is getting near new lows. Since my knee was wrecked, i've missed 3 games. We also lost those 3 games and alot before that and we stand 2-10. The playoffs start next sunday, but i doubt i'll be able to play with this half assed knee. Oh well, see you next year.

I get to see Tianna again tomorrow, the first time since the day she was born. It should be fun. Uncle Richard!!!

The Red Sox lost today to Oakland. I still cannot get over that they are the defending World Series Champs. Its so great and bizarre to hear. They might not do much this year, but geez, what a year its been.

I dont think ive mentioned it here before, but my sister was pregnant for about 9months. Until today around 1pm. So now im an uncle. Tianna Rae Smith was ushered into this world shortly after 1 or so. Its pretty weird, seeing that ive been expecting it for around 4 months, but i guess nothing prepares you for when it happens. I got to see my neice and even hold her for a bit. Shes a cute kid. When i was holding her, her eyes just darted around noticing everything. But when she looked at me her eyes got wide as dinner plates, like i had snakes growing out of my head...haha. In any case, my parents are now grandparents and i'm Uncle Rich. Wow and Cool.

Afterwards, Fries Nancy and I went down to see the brand new Lancaster Barnstormers play their first game at Clipper Magazine Stadium. We didnt have tickets mind you, so we walked around the stadium and watched the ceremonies thru the outfield fence. Its pretty cool, you dont even need a ticket. You can just watch everything from the fence. After that we went down to GrienBriers and had a few drinks. Then back to Fries's truck and sat and drank booze for a few hours. While we were there we watched the city of Lancaster tow about 40 cars for illegal parking. Those guys had absolutely no remorse. They towed 3 cars at a time for almost 4 hours. Then we went to a sub shop and i had a nearly perfect Chicken Cheese stake. Back to Fries's truck for more beer and more tows. Then we walked up and noticed that the Clip opens the gates after the 7th inning stretch. So the three of us got to watch the 9th inning from some pretty sweet seats in left field. The seats were great, but let it be known that in the first game in Lancaster in about 40 years ended in a loss for the local boys, 4-3. It might be the start of a tradition, boozing in the parking lot and then going into the game after the 7th. Afterwards, we watched the hordes of people wonder where their collective cars went. After a while there were 2 older ladies that had to hang around and wait for a ride from the towers. They parked in the right spot, but the blind carjackers didnt realize. So the three of us waited for their safety until almost midnight. All in all it was a great time and i hope to do more of it in the future. Two new beginnings in one day is pretty cool.

Ladies: I'll never be your Beast of Burden!

Well school is over and im taking one more class next semester. Senior Seminar the second time around should be sweet.

I'm sure i will be happy with a few months off of school since i didnt get a break during the Christmas break last time around.

In my latest hockey related injury, Todd flew into my knee 2 wednesdays ago and ruined my entire leg. As soon as he hit me, i was like f*** Todd. The fact that we were playing one man short to start, i tried to play, but when i tried to turn and completely lost my legs and fell to the ground, i figured it was time to stop the charade. College Boy had to help me to the bench and that was it for hockey for awhile. Im sure it was just a hyperextension, but it hurts like a bitch, and caused me to miss a hockey game and two shifts of work. 10$ braces from CVS dont help by the way. Add that to the worst sprained wrist ever the the most heinous groin pull in the history of groin muscles and one hell of a bruised ass and ive got quite a list of hardcore hockey injuries.

Got a new cell phone today. Its always nice to usher in new bits of technology. I downloaded a Red Sox logo as my wallpaper and Beast of Burden by the Stones as my ring tone, so im pleased. I needed to replace that chipped, beat up samsung anway. My sister seems to enjoy it though.

If you're a reader of this blog, you'll recognize the trouble ive had with staying away from the ladies. But i garuntee, i will never ever in a million years never ever ever ever ever fall into the trap of falling for a girl ever ever ever again. I HATE the trouble and hate having to deal with never getting the girl. So from here on out as long as i live, its the Stanley Cup or nothing at all.

Well its finals week, in which should have been my final finals week. But Senior Seminar didnt work out, so there will be another next semester. I've got alot of catching up to do, and i'd hate that to cut into my time spent drinking at the bar, arguing sports, making fun of idiots and my favorite past time, pissing cigarettes down the drain holes of the urinals.

We played hockey yesterday, and id say this team is right up there with the 1-19 Flames, or the early 90's Ottawa Senators in total badness. I'd say we are about 2-5 but i stopped counting. We are just horrible on defense, cant get any shots on net and generally dont play well as a team.

Other than that, im nearly done with community service...just 5 more hours to go. But i do enjoy going, it wouldnt be a bad fulltime job, if it wasnt janitorial work. I spent like 4 hours last time just mowing donegal high school with a riding mower, so that was fun. Just wish i had an iPod or something.

TGI Fridays. Its getting unbearable. All of the good workers have left over the last few months, and the replacements are not catching on as quick as i'd like. There are one or two that work really well, but the rest...whew. I keep having these dreams where i'm back at that fish place. Talk about nightmares.
