I was really hoping to have my back re-arranged tonight since my ankle was finally starting to feel better. I appreciate the fact that your retaliation method for my clean hit was to combine both Charging and a Check from Behind. I hope you enjoy your 3 game suspension after such a cowardly hit. Nice job too since that pretty much sealed the loss for your team as well, “Thanks for coming out!”

On a side note, Chicago was a blast, I had my Chicago style hot dog and my pizza puff and I was like a little kid in a candy store, but now I’m back in the land of cheese.

I get a lot of kudos for my mad computer skillz these days and so I figured I’d give it a break for a bit and try something new. So I’m trying to teach myself to play a guitar and it’s incredibly hard (I’m now awe struck by my brothers ease). I’ve finally understand how to read “tabs” somewhat and understand the fret and string count. I still have no idea what string to hit, but I’m trying to play the beginning of Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple because that’s how both my brothers (who have been playing 10+ years) started. It’s so much fun though, I really want to take lessons now too.

Also, I was able to get my iPOD to work under linux, which was a great accomplishment for me today. Now if I could only get my laptop to work right with the 64-bit version of Linux I’ll be a happy man today. I watched the Constant Gardener today and was pretty impressed, I’d say it was comparable to Hotel Rawanda and would definitely recommend the film.

Lastly, I’ll be headed to Deerfield Tuesday for a client and then downtown Chicago again for another client. Hopefully the ankle holds up all right tonight at hockey.

So I’ve had a half dozen people tell me that I’m very sassy today, come on was I really that bad? Anyway, the new Jack Johnson that I downloaded is awesome. Now if I could only make my ankle heal quicker!

Favorite new quote: “Don’t cry. You look fat when you cry.” From Pete Lee. We saw him at the Comedy Club last Friday, he was pretty damn funny.

Well if it’s not one thing it’s definitely the other right. So, I was trying to keep the puck in the offensive zone tonight when my feet were swept up from under me, I tried catching my balance but in the process twisted my ankle. One players comment was he thought my skate fell off it bent so badly. I continued playing as it just felt stretched, but driving the good old stick shift home I felt it swelling. Now I’ve taken enough aspirin to kill a small child and will be up icing it all night. I’m just glad I have a desk job at this point.

Unfortunately, my brother wasn’t so lucky. He went to the emergency room today which he will spend the rest of the night at least because of…that’s right Mononucleosis. Good old Mono, I remember those faithful two weeks in college, although I wasn’t really at college but more like at home wondering if I’d ever go back. In other news I watched even more movies yesterday. Four Brothers was pretty good actually and I’m also a fan of Spanglish so I’d recommend both right now.

Also, I finally found my calling in life, I just need about 5 years of training before I need to move to Canada and actually start the real training.
