Best Hockey Game Ever

Last Friday I went with some friends (Dale and Nichol) to watch the Rampage. Now, I go all of the time, but this night turned out to be what is likely the best game ever. The Rampage were playing the Iowa Chops (formerly the Iowa Stars?) and I have to say that it was awesome!  the only bummer was that Kasey decided not go go with us.  :(

When we got there, we checked with the helper people (not really sure what they are called) about playing an intermission game. They said that the only game that they had a slot open for is Dance for your Dinner. The prize was a $50 gift certificate to Boston's Pizza. Dale was chicken, but I signed up right away. I thought about it, but it end up that I have no shame. They told me that they would come and get me right before the first intermission.

After this, we headed to our seats, which were AWESOME. Second row, near the goal.

After the game started, ten seconds in, the fighting began. When it starts this early, you can tell that the teams have a beef with each other and that they will be playing hard core. The Rampage scored 1 goal the first period and then I was off to Do a Little Dance, Make a Little… Well dance…

Check it.

The guy I was dancing against, Les, was not really into it and only did it because his wife made him. You can see him in the back of the video in a white t-shirt like mine and a Kangol. When it was over, the announcer asked the crowd to cheer if they thought that Les was the best. There was a lame smattering of applause. Next the announcer asked if they thought mine was the best and the crowd went NUTS! I have to say, it is REALLY cool to be standing in front of several thousand people and have them all cheer for you. What a rush!

I won the gift certificate, but was told that it would be mailed to me in like 2 weeks. I did get to keep the rampage shirt though. Sweet!

After more fights and four more goals by the Rampage, we were told that we would all be getting free fries from Chick-Fil-A. Apparently they have a deal that if the Rampage score more than four goals in a game, everyone gets fries. I was pretty hungry, but found that we really just got a coupon to go get them later.

Anyway, it was awesome and here are some more pics.

Stevenson rocks.  He is Kasey's favorite.

Melrose Place

It seems that the CW network is talking about a new incarnation of Melrose Place! I read about this yesterday and I am pretty stoked. I loved Melrose back in the day and if this goes through, my domains melroseplace.tv and melroseplace.org may become lucrative. Of course I really need to get some content and start driving some traffic there. Sweet!

Party like a Rock Star

So, the other day, I tried a Rockstar energy drink for the first time. MAN those get me all kinds of hyper and they taste good too. Now, I just had the regular one, but I am interested in trying the juice ones. I have a pomegranate one, but I think one a day is my limit. After drinking it, I feel like I have enough caffeine for a week!

I looked online and compared the caffeine content to other drinks and one 16 ounce can is equivalent to 4 red bull cans (the small ones), 4.7 cokes, or about two cups of STRONG coffee. On top of that it has Ginko, and Guarana included that give you more energy.

It seems to also do a good job of curbing my hunger.

Pretty cool. J

New Phone

Today I got a new phone, a Blackberry Curve. My Blackberry 8700 served me well, but the Curve is much cooler and above all has a camera. Now I can show you guys the cool stuff I see every day! (I know that you are waiting with bated breath). It has GPS too. The only thing that this is missing is WiFi, but I have not figured out what it would be good for other than browsing the web faster.

I am super stoked. I may even pee myself.

As a treat to you guys, here is a pic of my cube at work. (Fun eh?)

I have been looking forward to New Phone Day for a long time.  (New Phone Day is the day that your contract is up and you can get another phone from your provider at a discount)

Nothing Going On

So I seem to be at a point in life where it feels like I have nothing interesting going on. Everything is pretty much regular. This is surely just how it seems for the now. I know that if I sat here and thought about it that I could come up with something interesting.

I know that I should just chill though. I need to just sit back and relax and enjoy this time. I mean, every single event in my life has built up to this one moment, right? It's because of it all, that I can sit here and tap these words on the keyboard, and I am thankful. I have my family, health, friends… That's great, but I do wish that I had some adventure in my life. Not drama mind you, that is completely different. It would be awesome though to spend some time in Mexico or even just to go camping for a while.

Having "nothing going on" does not mean that I have nothing to do however. I am super busy! Just nothing interesting, I guess.

Whatever.

Self Surgery Update

Man, this is not working.

Now I have a big mole with three strings tied around it. It had swollen up and got all nasty like it was going to work, but now it is pretty much normal. Of course, now I have the problem of three strings that I cannot get off.

I am totally going to have to just cut that bad boy off with a razor. I will not be able to do it, and I have to say that I am a little worried that whoever is going to do it will either not cut fast or smoothly enough and it will hurt a lot OR that they will not cut close enough to the skin and I will end up with a little mole lump left over. Gross.

People keep telling me to go to the doctor, but NO. This has become a mission now. What do you people think? Add another string? Cut it off? Go to the doctor? Anything I have not thought of?

Bee Girl

So, I was watching the Blind Mellon "No Rain" video the other day and I was wonder to myself "Hey, that bee girl reminds me of someone I know… I wonder what ever happened to the bee girl in real life…"

Ok, I know that she was just an actor, but whatever. I have a thought in my head and Google at my fingertips. Let's find out.

Ends up that her name is Heather DeLoach and she has an entry in Wikipedia and all that stuff. The Wikipedia entry also had a link to her myspace. Anyway, to make a long story short, now she is my friend on myspace.

Yeah, I know. I am cool. You are jealous. Wipe that envy green off your face.

;)
