Creepy old guys

So I just got back from the gym and man are there a lot of creepy old guys. As if old naked guys walking around isn't bad enough, today I go to throw my towell in the hamper, and miss. I walk over to it wearing just my happy face boxers because I like to feel happy after a work out, and pick up the towel with my feet and toss it in the hamper. I turn around and there is this old guy just staring at me. For a second I thought he was going to make some jack ass comment about my boxers but then he said "what dexterity" and gave me this huge goofy grin.

12 worse than 13

Ok, so everyone has heard that 13 is an unlucky number, despite studies that show there are no more accidental deaths on friday the 13th than on any other friday. And actually the whole concept of 13 being unlucky is from those crazy christians because guess how many people were at the last supper? That's right, and it didn't exactly end well for the big JC. Anyway, I think that 12 is even worse and here is why. We had 12 guys playing hockey the other night and lost 4-0 to a terrible team. We have never won having 12. with 11 you have an extra center, 10 is a perfect 2 lines, nine means the defense can play one short (no big deal) and 13 gives 3 lines of offense and 2 lines of defense. BUT with 12 you always have someone pissed either there are 5 defensmen which sucks or there is an extra winger which sucks or you have 3 sets of wings and 2 centers which pisses off everyone. That's it, 12 is terrible (Oh, snap, I just remembered if you count our goalie, that's 13... creepy)

hooray hockey

The big football game gets underway in a few moment. whoopie.
Anyway, I had a hockey game last night and got 2 goals both on the backhand, yeah. Oh, and I found out that when you dream, there is a complete shift in the chemical balance in your brain, yikes.

Congradulations Madd Dog

I was excited to hear today that Greg Maddux has won his record tying 16th gold glove for defensive superiority on the baseball field. I have always been a big fan of Maddux, and it was great to see the sure fire first ballot hall of famer recognized yet again for his outstanding efforts in the field of play.

In other news I was a bit dissappointed last night as my hockey lesson was not all it could be. The ice was shaved, not new, and the lesson was cut a half hour short by another group of puckers. And after all that, it was still full price, what the heck? Oh well

Politics, Politics, Politics, Politics, Politics.

Who else is glad the mid term elections are over? The people have spoken and after 6 years of W, they are ready for a change and that is democrat. I guess I am officially a conservitive, but I can not blame these people. The best news is that the smoking ban passed here in Ohio, so by this time next year I can hit the clubs and not come home smelling like a dirty ashtray. Hoo-Ray

Crap

My muffeler blew, the whole thing just popped. So that was a tidy little unexpected stop at the mechanics. But the guy I go to is cool, and said he saved me a hundred bucks (nice guy) and I believed him (sucker) but at least the muffler is better and I can hear important things while driving like the radio, my phone, myself think.

I must be 2 thin

Obviously the title of this blog is rediculous and obsequious, especially since my BMI of 29.6 puts me 0.4 points under the obese range. But honestly. Today I went to Wendy's for lunch. I got th #7, and for those of you who do not frequent the Wendy's as much as I, that is the crispy chicken sandwhich, I ordered the side ceaser salad instead of fries, and a diet coke. So over all, not a holy unhealthy order. But the thing is that this is the third consecutive time that they have given me the salad AND the fries. Are they not paying attention, is this a new promotion, or do I appear to be wasting away to practically nothing. Oh I suppose I could remind them and simply disregard the fries, but it is so hard to deny something free. That's it, no more fries. (today)

3s

People often say bad things happen in 3s. Assuming that the fall on the ice was #1, then I think I completed the trifecta. The other day I was working out on the elipical machine, reached for my watter bottle and... Missed my entire mouth. Got nothing but chin, and the water ran off my chin onto the elipitcal console, must have gotten inside the buttons and freakin shorted out the machine. There was no smoke but the display went dark and wouldnt turn on. Of course being the upstanding patron of the gym, I ran off and told no one, haven't been back since.

And if that was number 2, then number 3 would be my viewing of the movie "Constantine" last night with keanu reeves. The former Ted Theadore Logan of Wild Stallions fame struggled to breath life into this limp attempt at a supernatural thriller. Needless to say... I guess I don't need to say it.

Thank goodness, now I can expect 3 good things, because that is the way it works.
