It's really difficult to post a video of you doing something when you know its completely wrong. Be gentle.

HOCKEY STARTS TONIGHT!!!!!

If work ever settles down I may get my mentorship games in, but that may not be any time soon.

Well, back to the airport for another trip. At least this time I'm flying Virgin so it should at least be a decent experience.

Okay, time for a big update. I have pretty much everything I need, now. Here's a quick rundown of everything I got, with links so you can take a look yourself.

I want a GRIT SUMO tower though. Our team goalie has one and loves it. I also want to get some thigh pads that lace into my pads. The ones that came with my pads are a couple inches too tall. With me being the size and shape I am, of course I have a couple fit issues. First, the arms on my C/A are simply too long. They make it difficult to get my gloves on all the way. Here you can see the left and right arm (with one being pulled up a bit): I imagine this should be a pretty simple fix, and I could probably handle it myself with a speedy stitcher or could take it to Jakes in LA to have it altered. Second is that my pants are a bit long and interfere a bit with the padding on the sides of the knees on my pads. I could also probably have these shortened a bit at Jakes. Unfortunately they had to be XL in order to fit around my midsection ;) I'll be able to buy smaller sized pants eventually... Finally, let's talk about my butterfly. I just can't seem to get it closed. I have zero flare and have difficulty getting my knees together, let alone closing that opening. Here's how it looks from above: Can anyone out there offer any suggestions on this? Or will this just get better over time?

Crazy! I'm not even scheduled for one yet. Then again, they dont know I have my crest yet. Been too busy to even think about it.

Considering they cancelled an entire flight I would assume there would have been an entire flight worth of baggage to distribute, not just one bag. They did it for the other cancelled flights too, just not ours. So ANYWAY, I get to the check-in today and ask "so what happens with my bag you guys held on to last night, will that just get automatically sent on my new flight?" They assured me that was the case. Nope, no bag. Not especially surprised, really. They filed a report and said if it turned up they'd call me. Incredible. I was 100% fine with the cancellation, it was no surprise considering that storm. I just wish they hadn't a) waited 6 hours to cancel it, b) not been willing to give us our bags back and c) not lost my bag.

Haha yup this was southwest. Waitied in airport for 6+ hours for delays. Around midnight they finally go ahead and cancel our flight. When I to got get my bag to take to a nearby hotel for the night, they tell me they aren't getting bags for that flight. So I book a hotel room via hotels.com (normally book direct, but also normally have more time to research hotels before I book). Get on the last shuttle from the airport to the hotel, and when I get there they tell me they don't have a room for me. So I call another hotel and they do have a room so I call a cab to take me there. 3 hours sleep and then up again for my rescheduled 7am flight home. Ugh. Southwest is the worst. If their points weren't so quick to accrue (and cost so few to book free flights), not to mention the companion pass, I'd have ditched them long ago.

Can't say I've ever had an airline refuse to give me my bag back before...

He got knocked down, turned around, and threw his stick at the guy who knocked him over. Like not a toss, but a full on throwing his stick as hard as he can at the guys head. In my mind it was 100% a deliberate attempt to injure. But at least they removed him from the game, I guess.

Heh I give em crap still but now I actually know what they're talking about. I would have actually handed out a match penalty in the last game I played in though. I think they just gave him a 10. Maybe a game also. Not sure.

There's just no reason to put your nasty feet all over the place

Love that account. What's really scary are comments on some of the photos saying they don't see the problem... WTF is wrong with people these days?

Watch out! Inmates have taken over the asylum!

The ideas are swirling around in my head right now.

Ours don't, but the originals SF Bulls uniforms did:

Only scored one goal this week despite a bajillion chances. Picked it up at center, crossed the blue line, put it through the defenceman's legs and went wide. Got to the dot and ripped a wrist shot off the far post and in. And to top it all off, I was wearing these beauties (SF Bulls Pride Day socks):

Black/yellow koncept gloves sold.

Youths.

Added custom Stevens ST-102 pants.

Photos of re-akt combo up. Also listed on eBay for $150. Black One60 Pants added also.

Re-Akt helmet reduced to $100 shipped. If I could get rid of that, I'd have enough saved for my goalie C/A and Pants.

Had my first ever 2 goal game tonight in a 5-2 loss. One on a breakaway, and the other picking up the puck at center on the wall, getting around their d-man and cutting to the net and sliding it 5-hole. Almost had a third but I only got a small piece of what was a perfect centering pass.

Project I was supposed to be finishing today went down the shitter so I have to stay in Atlanta another day. And thanks to how tired I was after the day was up, I managed to rear end some woman at an intersection. In a rental car. FML.
