THE NEGATIVE REACTION

AND 2005....WERE OFF!

So another year comes and goes. Working on year two of this thingy. Still kinda new, try and un-load my thoughts from time to time. So let's recap the year just in case you missed it.

CNBC Year in Review

Info Please 2004 Review

The CNBC version is more news orientated, whereas the info please covers all the bases. Some of the more important things that changed my life are definitely the presidential election and the ongoing war in Iraq. Those are probably the two biggest. The one story that hasn't gotten more press is the hockey lockout. I guess Wayne Gretzky came out yesterday and said this could very well go on for another year or possibly TWO. Insane shit, just insane. So stick a fork in hockey. Here's a link if you want any of the sordid details so far:

BITCHES!

So it's been a few weeks since I've played hockey or soccer. My son came up for the new year and left yesterday. His plane left at 6:15am, so getting up at 4am did not do me anygood. I crashed HARDCORE last night. In bed, lights out by 9:30pm, what can I say?

So I gots Dido (ala trance version) streaming on my pc right now. So no soccer or hockey over the holidays and now I feel so fucking bloated it sucks. I put skateboarding on hold for a while too. Hopefully I can loose some of this flab in the next few weeks and get back being normal again.

The job hunt continues (as usual). I got a call from Qwest today asking me if I wanted an outside sales job going DOOR TO FRICKING DOOR selling their services. Ummmmmmmmmmmm no thank you. At least my phone is ringing though - therefore I can't complain - right? Hopefully some better things will start popping up. I also applied for a sales supervisor position at ERIKS. I was supposed to call Dave today, but forgot. But alas, that will go to the top of my list for tomorrow now. Aside from not finding a job yet, I have no complaints. I mean, what CAN I complain about? My life is good, comfortable - what more could I ask for? Nothing. Happiness is finally mine!

SO SMILE DAMMIT!!




So here's to hockey, R.I.P. old friend. Maybe someday you'll come back. . .
