    Been in the XXXX glove a bit lately; not a big fan. The fingers are a bit short(er) and aren't very mobile. My fingers aren't particularly long and are relatively skinny, but I had a lot of problems with the length and the location of the break. Longer, three-piece fingers would get me back into them...but the retail glove just isn't for me.

    Word. But is it still cockblocking if none of them will ever so much as meet this girl?

    Not to mention the ones most likely to proposition, outside of buzz who will proposition just about any woman, are their own walking cockblock.

    It's probably best that most of the members in question don't procreate, anyways.

    ...once your cage splits your chin, it's going to happen again and again and again. It got to the point where, anytime I had a really good collision with anyone, our manager was ready on the bench with towels, butterflies, gauze and tape...ready to roll by the time I got off. We got really, really, really good at getting everything patched-up quickly; if I was rushed to get back on the ice (PP/PK, end of tight game, etc.), I'd be clean and ready to go after missing almost no game time.

    I'm having the same problem with a gash I got on the bridge of my nose. I got clipped at Junior camp (ironically, my very first day rockin' the halfer) and have had issues ever since. It's not as persistent a problem as the one with my chin, but if a glove or shoulder or something like that catches my face, there's a good chance it'll open again.

    Fucking cocksucking 17+ year olds who find entertainment in leaning on the 30 flex youth sticks. I usually have to throw them a hint with a line like "Looking for a stick for your little brother?" but, if there is no one else in the shop, I've been known to hit them with "What the fuck is wrong with you, dude?".

    I actually had the TDAGARIM album cover up before this one.

    One of the great things about Brand New is the fact that the music itself is excellent, but it's only enhanced by the lyrics and the background and emotions driving them; listen to the words. Jesse wrote "Guernica" while his grandfather was dying of cancer, "Seventy Times 7" was written after Jesse's friend (John Nolan, then with Taking Back Sunday - who answered with "There's No I in Team") slept with Jesse's girlfriend. Jesse wrote "Limousine" after a little girl was killed by a drunk driver in a town not far from where he grew-up; she had just served as the flower girl at a relatives wedding and was in the limo on the way to the reception. She was actually decapitated and her mother (who was driving her own car behind the limo) cradled the girl's head at the side of the road; she actually had to be physically separated from it. There is a lot of personal regret expressed throughout a lot of the stuff - particularly where religion is concerned (especially, but not necessarily exclusively, in the third album).

    If you're looking for other similar groups, you might want to check out some of Taking Back Sunday's older stuff and Straylight Run (both of which have ties with Brand New). If you do enough digging, you might be able to find some stuff by "The Rookie Lot," which featured a few members of Brand New before Brand New actually formed.

    brand new. 'nuff said.

    I threw their name out on the first page - about a month before "The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me" was released; an album which was better than I ever could have hoped for.

    They've been touring a lot lately. Luckily, my schedule has allowed me to make it to five shows in a little over a year, now. I was worried that I'd be let-down by the live show, but they're even better in concert.

    Psh. You think you're bad? My sticks are identical - same sticks, same flex, same pattern (name blacked-out), cut to the same length, taped and waxed the same way (to the point where I actually mark reference points on the shafts while doing the candy-cane grip-job)...and when I buy new ones (usually in twos or threes), I make sure that the graphics line-up as closely as possible - and usually bring one of my other, older twigs with me as a reference just to make sure that the new ones will fit in with my existing arsenal.

    God help me if/when I decide that the sticks I'm using need to be sprayed black at the bottoms (Mac Daddies). THAT can be an ordeal.

    ...it gets really fun when I switch sticks (say, from Dolomites back to XN10s - in my dreams). The sad thing is that any of the left-over older sticks - whether they're barely used or brand new - will likely never see the inside of a rink ever again (unless I decide I don't like the new ones - in which case they're doomed). Sticks I won't use anymore are usually either given away to friends or damned to use on the street and/or pond.
