I've got 10 million stories to tell about the last blog-less days. But where to begin? Aye, there's the rub. Let's say that men are involved....French Canadian men to be exact....oh and beer guy is involved, too (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more).

On the home front I've finally got new neighbors....that I'm already sick of. They were hanging pictures the other day.....at 2:00 in the flipping morning. When they quit banging (ooh, bad picture there, sorry) I loaded the washing machine and set it for the lllllooooonnnnnggggg cycle. You could hear them bitching through the walls. They've relatively quiet for the past few nights. They must have realized that I am a force to be reckoned with.

Almost time to log off. Stories to come soon.....maybe.....

Money well spent...

***This is not the reason I'm into hockey...but sometimes it does help.***

It's hard to get good action shots because of the delay on my digital camera...this is the best I've come up with. The red jersey is Filipic of the Colorado Eagles (I think). The white jersey is #10 Graham Dearle for the OKC Blazers.

Money well spent...

#15 Ryan Johnston

Money well spent...

#16 Mike Lukajic

Hey! Guess what music video I'm in!

I was driving home the other day and came upon this slight traffic tie-up. Everyone was just driving along, talking on their cell phones, dialing their cell phones, lighting cigars, spanking and yelling at their kids....I couldn't stand it anymore! I took out my digital camera and started taking pictures. And the idiots have the nerve to start honking and making gestures at me (damn redneck driving morons). Anywho I call this shot "Ode to Michael Stipe."

Top 5

Sammy tagged me. I'm surprised Michelle didn't catch me first. Anywho here are my current top five fave songs...

1. The Levee's Gonna Break by Led Zeppelin
2. Kashmir by Led Zeppelin
3. Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin
4. Awake by Godsmack
5. I Stand Alone by Godsmack



***Guess who's been in my CD player recently. HA!***

I'll tag Michelle, Cheryl, Brandon, and Jeff (if he ever decides to show his face around here).

Chantez-moi

Alright already! I apologize for my lack of creative juices. I've been busy taking care of some other important things: my job, cleaning my apartment (yeah, like that'll happen), and hockey (hell yeah). For lack of any better ideas, here's another combined chapter...

1. "Freak on a Leash" by Korn
2. "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel
3. "Scream" by Michael and Janet Jackson
4. "Land of Confusion" by Genesis
5. "911 is a Joke" by Public Enemy
6. "Cows with Guns" internet song that made the rounds a few years ago.

One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong...HA! Remember when it was fun and actually educational to watch Sesame Street?!? Anywho, all of these songs really do have something in common -- I like them because they have great videos. In the case of #1, it's not my only reason for liking the song. This list could go on forever and ever, but these ones stick out at this point in time. And now for my favorite bits from the videos...

1. Gotta be the bullet...the pioneer of the Matrix trilogy.
2. Dude...it's all about the dancing chickens. This is the only video that could ever de-throne Thriller as all time best.
3. Yes, I did pick something Jackson related and not Thriller (because that's too obvious).
4. Puppets! They're everywhere! This must be where Weezer got the muppet idea.
5. Old school rap...I love it...especially the guy laying in the gutter having convulsions (if you ever see it, you'll understand).
6. Somebody somewhere took a Dr. Demento worthy song and made an anime feature for it. Do a 'google' and maybe you'll find it.

Don't ya wish that MTV, VH1, and all their spin-off channels still showed videos? Hey, here's a deep thought for Jack Handy...if video killed the radio star, then who or what killed the video? Come on out you kings and queens of conspiracy theory....this one is right up your alley!

P.S. -- Earth to Jeff....this is ground control to Major Jeff....please respond!

WTF?!?!?!?

Woo-hoo! I'm officially 30 and my team won last night!

In other news...I get this message from Amazon.com saying that they're going to cancel my order if I don't send payment. Okay, I thought the whole point behind a pre-order was to lay down my money early (August 29) and get my item when released (November 1). WTF?!?!? Hold while I go call my bank and confirm the payment has cleared....

Still in other news...I'm still excited about the next Harry Potter movie, but now I've find out that "Walk the Line" comes out the same night, and I'm really worked up for it. So which one do I really want to see that night? Thank God for hockey...

I see that Jeremy and Zane are here. I'll post again tomorrow....It's play time...

Insert title here.....

OMG! I am so bloody tired from this weekend. Four hockey games in four days...and that was just the preseason! Only four more days until the puck officially drops for the 05-06 season.

Only 15 more days until Amazon.com sends me my pre-ordered copy of Episode III.

Only 12 more days until I can stop saying "I'm pushing 30."

And in other news, Christine has disappeared and has been replaced with the Batmobile. I swear to you I'm not making this up. I get the feeling that one of these days I'm going to wake up and run into Speed Racer and Racer X (his brother, you know) standing next to the Mach 3 (or whatever number it was).

I finally took my memory card to Wally-World and printed off some stuff and got a CD made of all the pictures I've taken since June (I love procrastinating...I also love being cheap...I waited long enough that the price dropped to 19 cents per picture). Enjoy the eye candy.

Happy Early Halloween

Darkness Falls Across The Land
The Midnite Hour Is Close At Hand
Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood
To Terrorize Y'awl's Neighbourhood
And Whosoever Shall Be Found
Without The Soul For Getting Down
Must Stand And Face The Hounds Of Hell
And Rot Inside A Corpse's Shell
The Foulest Stench Is In The Air
The Funk Of Forty Thousand Years
And Grizzy Ghouls From Every Tomb
Are Closing In To Seal Your Doom
And Though You Fight To Stay Alive
Your Body Starts To Shiver
For No Mere Mortal Can Resist
The Evil Of The Thriller

(spoken by Vincent Price, taken from Thriller)

05-06 training camp

Face off -- with the delay on my digital camera, this is the best time for pics.

Sebastien Centomo looking for the puck.
Shawn Germain, #5, Defenseman, ready for the puck drop.
Sean Connors, #35, Goaltender, another picture I don't have an explanation for, but perhaps that's the beauty of it.

Booster club picnic

Kevin Kuklinski(sp) Invited to training camp, but didn't make the final cut, good luck to ya!
Sebastien Centomo, #1, Goaltender, he's a got a quick glove and brief NHL experience, welcome to OKC
Michel Beausoleil, #9, Left wing, AKA Bobo or Mike, has a great slapshot, I think he looks like Sully of Godsmack

Marty Standish, #3, Center, returns after being gone a year, the one my nieces Samantha and Michelle are going to arm wrestle for

More from the picnic

Jared Dumba, #82, Left Wing, back with the Blazers after a two season hiatus
Jason Goulet, #33, Defenseman, complete coincidence that he was looking directly at me when this picture was taken
Garrett Prosofsky, #28, Center, damn I love those eyebrows

Ryan Power, #16, Forward, returning player from last season

Tyler Kuntz, #15, Defenseman, another nice set of eyebrows

4th of July weekend at Texoma....
....so peaceful....
....so tranquil....
....I hope Julia left her camera at home....

Getting tired of looking at semi-insane pictures yet? Too, bad if you are 'cause I'm just getting started!

Reason #1974 for not getting bored. I don't know what the other 1973 are, and I don't intend on finding out.

***Of note, this plant has been alive for a little over two years. It's the new record!***

Here's my niece Jo Caryn's cat....or maybe it's Cayla's cat....I'm not sure....anywho the idiot piece of fur was halfway on/off the couch, just purring away, perfectly content. I am reminded of this book that Jeremy and Joe used to have called "101 Uses for a Dead Cat." I liked the hot water bottle -- LMAO!

Same sunset, same direction, different colors (totally cool), and this stupid little sailboat that was going unbelievably slow! I was yelling at him to speed up before the sun got too low.

Here's another pic from Lake Hefner. It's looking toward the west (duh) from the flagpole plaza. It was awe-inspiring how everything kept getting swallowed up by purples and reds.

"You talkin' to me?"

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the hissing goose. I was at Lake Hefner with my friend Brandon. We felt the need to go on a picture taking frenzy. These geese were all over the place and would follow people around....it was very eerie in the true Hitchcock sense of the word. There was this little boy, he couldn't have been much older than Zane, and he kept trying to force feed the geese. His mother kept saying, "It's okay. Go ahead and give it the bread." This one started hissing and I told her to grab the kid and run.
