This just in… today was another day for a goalie signing. Toronto does that smooth thing and signed Ben Ondrus to a 2 year contract. Which is completely awesome. In fact, I’d of bitched a fit if they didn’t sign him after the way he played last year, as little as he did. Now the fun’s gonna be figuring out who starts this season. I hope it’s Ondrus, but I have a sneaking suspicion it’s gonna be Raycroft just because he has more NHL experience. But that’s just my take on things. I just know whichever one it is is more than likely gonna be well worth what they were signed for. They’d better be, because we already had one crappy goalie this decade. Well, two, but mister backup dood from last year is toast, I think. Again, yay!

Raycroft for 3, Ondrus for 2… yay!

Well now. That was a kick in the head.
It’s official. Just when I’m threatened with an easy week, something always comes up. This time, it was a head cold from hell. Whiped me right the holy hell out. I think I may have been awake for all of.. maybe 5 hours yesterday. Not counting the half the night I spent either blowing my nose, sneezing, or trying to get back to sleep after blowing my nose or sneezing. But at least this morning things were improving… once said nose stopped trying to be a tap. Then, we went out for breakfast this morning… I think the fresh air might have helped, too. No doubt the coffee did. And I managed to stay awake this long… I’m bloody amazed. No doubt I’ll make up for it tonight, but hey, I lasted this long.

Not sure what I think of this game yet…
It’s a little bit off the types of games I like to play, but so far… I think I might kind of get used to playing Hat Trick. IT’s a soccer simulation, wherein you control everything except what the individual players do on the field. I guess it kind of classifies as a strategy game, if only sports strategy, but it works I suppose. Now if I can just find a hockey game that’s similar we’ll have it made. Oh, wait… I played a couple. They sucked. I quit. Okay, soccer it is. *sigh*

What’s your religious philosophy?
You are an Atheist
When it comes to religion, you’re a non-believer (simple as that).
You prefer to think about what’s known and proven.
You don’t need religion to solve life’s problems.
Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy.
That’ll teach you people to call me a Christian! LOL

3 years of potentially good goaltending!
After trading for Raycroft from Boston a week ago, the Leafs did the ultrasmart thing and locked that sucker up for 3 years. Of course, they aren’t releasing the juicy details of the contract, but I don’t care… the guy’s a pretty decent goalie, and I’ll take him regardless to that. Now, seeing as I’ve said that, he’s gonna go and suck this year just to spite me. Because that’s how my Leafs luck works. IT’s a failproof routine. But, oh well! 😀

There’s having fun, then there’s blatant disrespect.
And what a couple whackjobs decided to pull during the Canada day cellebrations in Ottawa was just plain blatant fucking disrespect. I dunno if it’s because they were drunk, stoned, or some odd and stupid combination of the two, but they apparently thought it’d be fun to piss on the national war memorial. This, naturally, had several people including war veterans up in arms and calling for significantly tighter security around the memorial, but that aside, there’s no goddamn reason for it other than the fact these people were just being morons. Photos were sent to local newspapers, and the police, taken by a former peacekeeper as that was going on. It hasn’t been decided as yet if charges are being laid regarding that, though if you ask me, and no one ever does, it’s a no fucking brainer. I would restate my theory on stupid people, but that doesn’t accomplish anything and stupid people usually don’t realise it’s being directed at them. So instead, I’ll just settle for this. If you can’t have the decency to at the *very* least control your disrespect for your country, get the fuck out. The US is always looking for another disrespectful asshole. You’ll fit right in with the ones down there who like to burn American flags.

Downloading music and such may be illegal, but oh well.
I got bored, and TV sucks, so now, I watch CSI. It’s a two-part eppisode I haven’t seen before… which is odd, ‘cuz I thought I’d seen all of them. But this one hath escaped me. Until now! Mwa! IT’s a damn good one, too. I won’t say anything specific about it in case someone actually reads this who hasn’t seen that eppisode, not that anyone actually reads this anyway. But a cop ends up shot. This is just… well, I know I’ve used the word too often on here already but to hell with it. Awesome. And all it cost me was some bandwidth. Which is good, because I can’t afford anything else.

Damn, that was fun.
I came, I drank, I enjoyed, I got wasted. Enough said. Canada day was awesome, even if we didn’t end up going to the fireworks… most of us couldn’t care one way or the other if we saw them or not, and a select few of us, me included, were in no shape to go see them even if we wanted to. But it was awesome anyway! I brought half a case of beer over to go with the stuff they already had over there, and we killed it. I think I drank my half case and then some myself… though I know for sure I had help. My cousins and a couple of their friends, and another cousin’s boyfriend, were sitting in the hot tub getting completely and totally hammered, so if nothing else I can blame them for drinking the beer I didn’t get to. Them, my mom, my aunts… ah, hell, the list of people who *weren’t* drinking last night is probably shorter. And, of course, we had a BBQ. All in all, I loved it. Even if I ended up feeling like shit last night… it was still fun! And now, I can sit here and watch CSI, because uh, I don’t feel like doing anything else. LOL

What’s your theme song?
Your Theme Song is Beautiful Day by U2
“Sky falls, you feel like
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away”You see the beauty in life, especially in ordinary everyday moments.
And if you’re feeling down, even that seems a little beautiful too.
