Hard to say best punk band ever.
But if you're into punk and don't know who Sloppy Seconds are, shame.

yesterday went for an ultra sound and the tech was a bit late, so she did a 3d ultrasound for us for free as payback for making us wait, saved us 150 bucks

You feeling better at least? Keep it healthy man

Just got my Bar Tending license. Finding a gig is becoming increasingly difficult though :-/ . And I don't quite understand how I can gain experience if everyone is only looking to hire people with it.
I say lie, thats how my friend did it with his "bartending experience" and he just gave my number and a few other people so we would say he's a great kid with a good work ethic. Arizona is really hard to find jobs in the last four years if i've even had to cut my resume's experience and lie about jobs i've had so they dont say "oh you have too much experience"
I hope you get one soon though, good luck
Skated today for the first time in 7 years. Felt amazing to get back on the ice, and after a solid 15 minutes of getting the feel for my edges I felt natural again.
welcome back man!!!!!

Hope you're alright man
Local rink has a good following at a decent time for a monday and sat night dropin. They decide to switch the time without warning and now no one shows up. Frustrating cause i enjoy playing here and they only did this so there would be no "dead ice".
my local rink did that same thing too, we had at 10pm every saturday night a pickup that had each bench packed and on demand to get in on the ice. They switched it randomly to midnight, then to 9pm back to 10 then 11 and now its dead ice to the point that i called the girl working there and said "empty slot? can i have it so we can shoot around for an hour?" and she let Garrett and i for 10 bucks, but now they do it for broom hockey...which no one shows up

Having been concussed a few times before, when it comes to helmet selection i'm really wary, REALLY REALLY wary about what i choose to protect my dome next. So far using this helmet for the last year, i can say this has been a fantastic choice and i'm very glad it was made.
Fit-10/10- the V10 helmet was like a vice grip on me, i hated it so much and the migraines it caused me. When i put this helmet on, it felt amazing, the foams were soft, not soft enough to not protect but to accomodate my head. I have a huge head too and this fit around it. It's not a boxy feel like the 4500 which i hated and the same with the other "sombrero fit" as i call all the other bauer helmets. It came on, and its really hard to remove.
Ventilation- 9/10 - I feel the air flowing through the vents and onto my head, sometimes i shave my head other times i let it grow out and i've not felt such great ventilation until this helmet. i thought the mission intake had gnarly ventilation but this one puts it to shame.
Protection-10/10- I've taken hits, been slew footed and once slammed my head on the ice and was ok, not even a headache. The VN liner absorbed all the shock and dispersed it through keeping my dome safe.
Weight-10/10 - It's not heavy, if you complain about a heavy helmet, you should check yourself with your issues at hand instead of blaming your helmet.
Durability-10/10 (so far, but after so long i dont see it changing) - It's been 15 months and it's been amazing, i love it. Not one single issue
Conclusion - Get this helmet if you want the pro feel VN liner and great protection.
If the ventilation is the only thing i give a lower than perfect score then this helmet is beyond recommendable.
Recommend this helmet? ABSOLUTELY

Product:
Superfeet Yellow - Size: E 9.5-11
Time Used:
2 Years so far
Personal Specs:
26 Years old, 6'2'', 240lbs, Size 12 shoe, size 10.5 skate, Easton S15 pros
Fit: 10/10
Fit is like any mark and cut sole you use, shape it to the old one you're replacing and you're solid. So unless you do it wrong then i guess you should give it a top score
Comfort: 9/10
I mainly got these because i have really bad issues with my instep, it absolutely kills the feeling on my feet on any skate, These actually give it a fantastic feel and then theres those odd days where my feet decide to hurt just to hurt, i could be having a great game but you can still tell how painful it gets at times. But thats my feet for you, may just need to go custom.
Performance: 10/10
I got these from a friend running a store after hearing my issue and told me these would offer that support i need to help ease the pain. When i used to skate in shock doctors and other footbeds (did not try sidas) the same result was during and after every skate my feet were in intense pain. With using superfeet, its like once every 5 skates. I'll take that.
Durability: 10/10
After my skates i remove the insoles and let them dry and spray them with disinfectant you see used in say bowling alleys for shoes i guess. It works, no smell. I also do it so it allows the skates to dry properly so theres no rotting from it. These soles have outlasted one pair of S15s, a pair of grafs and a pair of CCM tacks in two years alone. I can easily say they're great.
FInal thoughts:
If you have intense pain, Please do yourself a favour and buy these, you can't go wrong, once you adjust to something helpful being in your skates you'll notice a good, no, GREAT difference.
Final Rating: 9.8/10
Recommended: Absolutely!

New position opened up for account/order rewrites (aka the sales agent fudged the order up). I applied for it the second i got the email an hour later my boss pulled me aside and said "hey theres a new position up, i know you check your email like once every other week so i want you to log in and apply and fill this out and sign it, this is my letter of recommendation, i really believe you would do great on that position"
What a concept.

i am not repromoted but i dont really care about the promotion at this point anymore since i've been contemplating switching and finishing the degree in medical i was going for so i think it's time to step into that field and just go from there and get a career and better pay

Got promoted finally on my team as promised due to my work done so far, and on wednesday they put me coaching new people on the team and current also. Four hours into my shift my Fiancee called and i had to leave on emergency to rush her to the doctor.
When i came back the next day my boss yanked me into his office and said "someone went to the director and said they had proof of you cursing out customers (which is a instant dismissal) and being rude unprofessional and repulsive to the new team members for you entire 8 hour shift, so you're un promoted, and now have to sit by my desk to watch you"
I said "no way dude i would have been fired if i did that, and i wasnt here for 8 hours! and did he provide the proof? no? and they still believed him!?"
so i took my boss to my computer and showed him a conversation of the person who went and said that about me to the boss, and he said all the same exact things on our private chat, which i never responded to since i dont want to lose my job. and showed him the part where he said he was going to ruin me and my job
Boss took copies of the chat, escalated it, and dude got fired yesterday morning.
Honesty wins. Yet again.

skipping hockey this whole week, today is the fiancee's birthday, last night she hit 6 months pregnant, so i went out at midnight and bought her and filled up our big dining table with flowers and a card on top of the heap, she woke up cause she was craving cereal and man, her face just told the story.

I feel "Back" I've had at least 3 goals in every game on my sunday games in the last four games, and in another game i had five goals, It's amazing how it feels to now be going full after so many years of being a little in fear from all my concussions and now feeling 100% just getting in all the areas, and even my mean streak is back!
What an amazing change.
-
I haven't been on due to the holidays and working around them, the fiancee got me a pair of Graf GS pants, which was awesome and i was very happy with, but i got shocking news when they handed me more gifts and got me a DLSR camera that just blew me away, i was not expecting that, very very amazing, i'm extremely happy with that.

love the tree btw
I had a kid email me for advice on gear, i gave him some info, and make sure to keep looking around, knowledge is power, and find what he deems fit for his style and feel. So his reply an hour later is a link to my youtube page and asks me if i "knew this guy" Because he does "legit" reviews and is always really helpful on youtube like i am on facebook. I do happen to know that guy. And thank you! That felt awesome.

It's not like I'm even a slob or anything, I'm six foot and solidly built. Played varsity baseball through high school and four years of college, and still work out every day. I'm just not cut/ripped/shredded and never will be, it's not in my genes, plus I love to cook and eat. (Guys at WF and SJ will tell you I'm not lying) Anyway, every guy at the gym was cut from the same "Jersey Shore-esque) mold and I could tell from the look I got that the position he I was interviewing for was not filled, but I didn't fit the profile.
And thank you for the kind words, I am praying and have my fingers crossed that one of these interviews really pans out. And congratulations, by the way :)
Hey man you can do it, i went without a job for almost two years but times have changed, you'll find something good and within your ethics, dont worry what some roid ragging idiot thinks.
and thank you by the way thats awful nice of you.
-
ouch man, hope you find an awesome job since they're too ignorant to try and give someone a chance.

Had the set up for the goal of the game last night, both teams were talking about it after the game while i was leaving, kinda awesome, not awesome was the guy who Cross checked me furiously repeatedly making my back just terrible today, also doesnt help that my G.E.R.D. is flaring up. Worst feeling ever.
-
don't know if its for me or what but my fiancee accidentally tagged me in a text message to her mom on a watch she really wanted and didnt realize she sent the text to me as well, so i snapped up the watch and told her mom to ignore the watch and get her daughter something else. Bam, one thing covered
-

-

-
Hope you don't have the same idiot deliver your habs gear from me!

Can't you file a claim with UPS for the shaft and the broken wreath holder?
i am actually because this is some retarded crap on this dudes part, cannot believe he did such a thing. That's as bad as my friend getting his xbox and the UPS guy dropped it while trying to handle it. "here you whoops sorry bud"
-
I'm cleaning up my backyard and living room today since its my day off, i look out the door and see a hand reach up on my gate grab our new Chrismas Wreath and force it to the side of the gate scraping and cracking the holder, instantly i get furious i reach to open the screen and i see the USPS mail truck so i think "ok he's gonna knock". But i'm still a little furious of what he did to the wreath since i just hung it up last night.
So i had a shaft that Kevin was mailing me out, i look back up and i see the idiot instead of knock after making eye contact with me THROWS THE SHAFT OVER THE GATE and land on one end.
I walk out and i yell "Hey God Damn it! What the FU@K is wrong with you! That sXit is valuable! Get the hell back in your truck before i use this stick to kick your @ss"
I rip the packaging open and lo and behold its cracked four inches at the top of the shaft, so now i'm gonna have to cut it and put a long plug to try and extend it back to where i need it to be. Piece of crap.

Something along these lines started a blow-out family fight at Thanksgiving dinner last week. What a mess, I'm sorry to see someone else dealing with it.
thats why i dislike thanksgiving with some of my family, went to see them last week for dinner and as usual my brother decided he's the queen of the rodeo.
