Not to start another post with a sour mood, but i hate winter.
It probably wouldn't be that bad if i had a car WITH 4 WHEEL DRIVE, someone tell dad this lol.
Im to the point of praying for decent weather and solid road work tomorrow so i can get home not only quickly, but safely. Being stuck in the driveway at my dads with a dead cell phone was not the way i envisioned spending my sunday night back home. But it happens.
I guess this is making up for all the smiles, laughs, and brightened moods i caused for giving people rides in the hoopty with 20 inch gold rims. That was honestly awesome, driving around town knowing that no one could hate on my ride. It caught the eye of everyone, very similar to how it catches the eye of everyone behind me when i am going up hills 2-3 mph, spinning sideways with my hazards on.
I love being home, but then i realize what i get to do when i go downstate.
I get to play hockey.
One thing that our now former coach, thank god, said that will stick with me throughout my entire hockey career, is when he said you guys need to realize that tonight you get to play hockey.
If i didn't love the game with everything i had inside me i wouldn't be in the situation i am in.
It takes a few days away from the ice to realize that i love everything about it.
I already miss the freezing cold rink, lacing up the skates with the kid from florida on my left, and the crazy, born in '92, self proclaimed "prodigy" to my right.
And i cant wait for the next month of hockey, our next 8 games are against teams with a combined record of 27-64-4. God wouldn't it be a crime if we could actually get on a winning streak?
Its just going to be awesome to go out there and realize that i get to play hockey.
I Don't have to worry about school, or getting up early for work, or dealing with girls; i just get to play hockey.
Not many people get to wake up and solely focus on the one thing they love.
I do. Gotta love it.
I also am looking forward to the christmas season, not only hopefully continuing the christmas eve tradition that we started last year, and thats all ill say mom, but december 19th-22nd could very easily be the biggest life changing 4 days for me. That is the day of the showcase, the day where scouts wait in line to get into the rink.
Everything i've done since the end of last year will all come into play those 4 games where i can really prove what i can do.
Please OU, i'm only asking for like $25,000, is that so bad?
A scholarship offer would be the ultimate gift. Not only to myself, but also to my parents.
Maybe pay them back a little bit for all the money they have given me throughout the years.
A full ride to OU is hopefully not too good to be true.
Next subject.
I want to recognize Plaxico Burress as officially becoming the biggest idiot on the face of the planet.
For those of you who do not know, Plaxico is the elite receiver for the new york giant, and an ex steeler. He was one of the biggest up and coming receivers when the steelers let him go, but his ego was apparently "out of control." He is like the Barry Bonds of the NFL, except hes not putting up record numbers quite yet. I had no issues with Bonds because he holds the record that is looked upon as the most important in all of sports. I'm not even a baseball fan and i think that. The only 2 records that really ever are sealed in my mind forever, are Wayne Gretzky's 212 points in a single season in 1982, It was 8 years before i was even conceived but i will always remember that number. Perhaps, the greatest accomplishment in one season in any sport. Bonds 73 homeruns in a year is impressive, but its breakable. 212 points in 80 games? Yeahhhhh, more then 2.5 points a game. Don't think it will ever be touched. But Bonds having 762 career homeruns. The other record unbreakable.
Alright totally off the subject but i love being a statistic machine. Most points in one hockey game? 10, 1976, Daryl Sittler, google it, i might have misspelled his first name. Yeah if i remembered things in school like this i would already be at yale. How about points in a career. Of course its Wayne, but thats a 4 digit number, over 1500 atleast.. maybe like 1750? Not even close. 3239. Yeah let that number sink in. That is a ridiculous number. That counts the playoffs though, sadly i dont know his regular season point total, probably like 2800ish.
Okay wow. Way off topic now.
All this because of Plaxico. I even capitalize his name, thats an award right there, i rarely capitalize names, unless they really matter, like him, Wayne, or Barry.
Plaxico Burress had a concealed weapon in a nightclub at 1 am in NYC on Friday. 2 days before a huge game against Washington hes at a nightclub at 1 am, already an idiot move, then you add in a gun, whatever. If he was in San Francisco and there were cannibalizing 49er fans chasing him with pitchforks and torches, alright then maybe a gun is necessary, but until that video-game-like experience happens, leave the concealed weapons at home Plax.
On his way to a VIP room, and this is all according to ESPN, so it might be slightly off, Burress fumbled (gotta love the football pun) with his gun, and it went off.
And he shot himself.
Like really?
He shot himself in the leg, with his own gun.
I mean come on Cheddar Bob (Alex may be the only one to get that, its from 8 mile).
So he is already in a terrible situation. Usually shooting yourself is not the best prep for a big game. Luckily he missed any key arteries and didn't really hurt himself too badly. He was released from the hospital like 36 hours later i think.
Now that is not the end.
I heard that and just laughed, thinking that was all, thinking he was going to miss some games and get released from the Giants at years end, and not get a buyout because there was a "no shooting yourself" clause in his contract. And then probably get picked up by Dallas because jerry jones is a nut case, i mean he has already showed that he thinks signing a guy with the nickname pac-man is a good idea.
Things get way worse for good ol' P-Bur.
Apparently.
Having a concealed weapon outside of the home, or office, in New York, without a license, is illegal.
Very illegal.
Like serious jail time illegal.
Like start getting buff for prison so you don't get raped illegal.
John Anderson said it best.
"Catching a ball is pretty hard when you're in handcuffs."
This is the same guy who in February was the super bowl hero.
Now in December, Hey Plax, keep your ring at home when you go to prison for over 1000 days.
So instead of first coming clean, he decides to go to the police, say his name is Harris Smith (really plaxico thats the best you can think of, you should have said your name was Randy Moss, that would have just been classic), and say that he got shot at a restaurant.
The new york mayor said that "if you carry around a loaded handgun without a license, it's an automatic 3 in a half years in the slammer."
Haha.
Good work Plax.
You are about to lose all your money.
And go to jail.
You had it all.
And now you having nothing.
Oh i forgot. This is all "IF" hes convicted.
IF.
He shot himself, so it was loaded, and he had a gun concealed, and a gun is a weapon, so it pretty much sounds like he had a loaded concealed weapon.
Yet he probably won't be put behind bars for atleast 3 or 4 months, oh how i love our legal system.
People on death row wait to die for years and years, and Plaxico Burress may be able to play in another superbowl in February if hes not suspended by the commish. And since its a big IF, he probably won't be suspended.
So congratulations Plaxico Burress.
Say what up to Michael Vick for me.
Can't wait until you get released because i will be drinking a beer legally, kicking back watching the lions probably try to sign you because they suck.
