Thanks K, i'm happy too, its gonna be so awesome. i remember you telling me about that and posting pics, that was some funk right there. I'm really glad you're all better now and cheers to a great recovery, better back up than further down, and yeah insurance, thank the everything for that, those head scans from my concussions would have cost a fortune.

So i lost that job they turned me down because i had some stolen credit cards that i fought and fought and fought and the credit card companies refused to believe my psycho ex who attacked one of my good friends would steal my credit cards and go to jewelry stores i wouldnt step foot in and buy herself a bunch of crap. BUT the good thing was, i dont have to move to a horrible small town like Chandler, where there are no good hockey rinks unless you travel 15 miles, and right now no car means i hitch a ride from a team mate, which means, lots of driving for him. Why does this get better? We were looking for better places to live at, since the theft of our stuff at this apartment complex, our road bikes and stuff like that, heck even the bench pillows we had in our porch. WE FOUND A HOUSE. I grew up mid class i guess in Mexico, and poor in this country, just now the money i make at this job (which is actually pretty nice i cannot complain) i find myself looking at my bank account going "holy crap what do i need since i dont buy anything?" Anyway growing up i always, ALWAYS, wanted to live in a two story house, it just always seemed awesome. SO, we were on Craigslist searching for a new place to either buy and or rent, and found a great three bedroom house two story nice backyard, and nice front yard too. Went on sunday to check it out and walked out, called the owner personally, three hours later we signed the deal to take it. They wanted a one year lease we signed a no year lease with a clause of what it really has to take for them to boot us if we are that bad which we aren't thankfully. And now! On june 16th we will get into our new house with an entire room for just hockey gear, and other stuff, its gonna be great. I'm really pumped.

JR97, whats up with that middle guitar? with the floyd, has a jackson type of headstock but looks like a PRS CE24 body, that looks amazing, i love that hollowbody too, looks gorgeous, and that banjo, gotta love that too

I'm very sorry about your loss, my condolences and best wishes to you, your family and your partners family.

i only love one metallica album, Kill Em All, thats the best one ever to me that whole album is just pure solid, Megadeth and Slayer are always getting play on my itunes or ipod. Not big on Iron Maiden though never been able to get into them.

Beats me, when i met Daniel Weyandt he himself told me they were a hardcore band from before he was with them, granted their new album isnt amazing at all. Metalcore is more of bands like As I Lay Dying, It Dies Today, Confide, Bury Your Dead, Bleeding Through, and Norma Jean and Unearth. As far as the Metalcore genre you can thank the Metallic Hardcore generators in the amazing band called Botch. I do love Terror, and Comeback Kid (the only thing to come out of Winnipeg worth while next to Toews). Adamantium, Throwdown, old Poison the Well, H20, Gorilla Buiscuits (if they count in that category), Dead To Fall, The Acacia Strain's old albums, old Haste the Day, Dead Like Me, and of course, Black my Heart and Converge I'm really picky about my music, i can't just listen to anything that sounds like something they have to have their own style in some sort of form, but i'm always on the hunt for something that is awesome.

four year strong has some good songs but they're not the best pop/punk ever Funeral for a Friend's new album is pretty good but their first two albums and their ep's were amazing

thats terrible man, all the best to those closest to him and his family, two friends did that back in 02 terrible they went out that way, wish you guys the best.

i'd love to see him, but i dont think he's in the arizona stop. meg and dia have been a pleasant surprise of how good they turned out to be.

spring in az sucks man, i love taking out the bike and going for a few miles around tempe, and today after around mile 10 i flipped it around and went home as quickly as possible and cranked down the temp on the a/c. I loved the cold that came out lately but its apparently over and now i wont get to ride my awesome new road bike till november if that. even more annoying is the people who are walking around shirtless or in bathing suits you can tell they're new here saying "oh its warm but i love it out here wow its great" and like my old neighborhood five years ago, 3 or 4 years after one of my stupid neighbors moving in from canada who had the nerve to hate hockey got skin cancer wanted pity, sorry dude you and your wife liked tanning in your back yard or at the pool all the time in arizona where the sun is treacherous, and you ask why you got cancer? anyway i miss my bike already

i'm really surprised no one listens to awesome bands like This is Hell Zao, one of the best hardcore bands to exist. i picked up the two recent albums by Far East Movement, turned out to be pretty good choices. also picked up some Four Year Strong albums good listen there Funeral for a Friend's new album is damn good too you cant beat listening to Tiger Army either lately i have been picking up my old Crowbar albums too

i agree, everyone nabs him as this amazing goalie, more than the average nhl goalie that he is but hes so shaky,

that is awesome, good luck to your friend and his team!

then you're a true canucks fan, all i hear from all the "canucks fans" i've been hearing from lately on other forums is "REVENGE IS HERE SERIES OVER" you're up 1-0 homie, far from over, Chicago is a sticky team

Thanks man, appreciate it much! and glad to see you're out, those pics looked horrible, hope you're up and running soon

I GOT THE JOB, I start on the 25th, i now work for Ebay/Paypal

This might be off subject to the current convo but i just started using the Flat bottom sharpening recently and the word Impressed is an understatement. The Flat Bottom V has got to be the best thing i've ever used for sharpening for my skates, i really feel the bite of each single edge, i cracked my right ankle a few years ago and stopping on my right foot just plain sucked everything would just either bite too hard, and after getting that sharpening the feel has been better enough that i've been able to actually stop correctly and do it again. The bite like i said is amazing, basically no drag on the ice at all you can push off and just glide forever and the feel of the ice just feels even better, if this is a gimmick then god forbid it doesn't go away.

I can be pretty good at giving a person hell for a lifetime, but they're just kids. Their mother is the irritant with all the annoying crap she does like this, we just found out that she's even suing the people in the apartment next to her because they have a big dog and she said it bit them too. Most ironic, her dumbass kids came over today, knocked, asked my girlfriend "can you let them out we're not afraid anymore" PASS Rhy's is a rescue dog, probably the best puppy i've ever had, actually, my first dog, so yeah besides my hockey gear and my girlfriend he is like my kid as your dogs are to you, i'm very protective.

DUDE, this makes it an awesome experience to me, i mean seriously just getting to see the SNL set where some of us grew up watching it over the years and the tour of the entire facility! Whatever friend of a friend you have i wish i had since i used to do theatre and SNL was "the show" to me besides of course everyones dream to play hockey as a pro.

My girlfriend works from home, so she wakes up at 6am and i go sleep in the futon on the living room until i have to wake up and go to work around noon. She took the dogs out, we have these neighbors, middle eastern who keep calling me and her "american devils" i kid you not! they have three kids they dont watch who run around doing the dumbest shit ever, why their legs and necks aren't broken baffles me. They are always teasing our dogs throwing rocks at our windows, in fact i dont put it past them that they're the reason our window was shattered two months ago since i caught them throwing rocks at my shih tzu barking at them on the window. So they run around chasing our puppies including our pug who has no front teeth shes so old. their mom comes out side to take them to school they actually stop smiling, stare at my lady, look at their mom and begin screaming in terror yelling that our dogs were chewing them up. Hosebeast calls the cops on my girlfriend, threatens to sue. Cops actually tell her to fuck off. Apparently she's suing our neighbor because her dumbass kids were stupid enough to stick their hands into the small part of the patio fence and he bit them Shame no arm was lost how stupid they are. So she probably wants more money? so about 9 hours pass later in the day my girlfriend takes the dogs out again and out of nowhere this hosebeast runs out of her apartment screaming at her again that her evil dogs are out and will attack her kids. SOMEONE is a god damn moron and needs to be hit by a bus.

hahahaha, oh god people getting kids faces tattooed on them, thats horrible!!! and ugly! My friend ken got it right, and his story was awesome, he said basically he broke all ten commandments growing up, yep all ten which kind of blew me away when considering even all you non religious types know those at least. Well he figured he would get the tablets and put the ten most sacred words on his arm, and so all ten of his kids are on the "tablets" on his arm and in small letterform their birthdates, i loved that!

Dude, that is still not safe, what the hell is wrong with people, when i was a super visor this guy threw a cinderblock through one of the front doors at the rink and left a note saying "fix that bitches" and then another guy brought a screwdriver and undid a lot of screws on the glass so when there was a hit as players skated away the panels popped out and CRASH.

I'm mexican born too, my first language is spanish, my second is english and my third was chinese but that went to crap over the last few years, i learned english watching hockey games and step by step so i have no accent sound pretty north american english type but when i pronounce my name people think i'm trying to sound latino and faking it, when in reality i'm not i just worked hard to not have an accent and sound more educated, its more annoying here with that SB1070 that basically lets cops approach me to see if i'm illegal or not which has happened twice already

that is sweet man, smoother ride better looking too, very nice!

any stupid verizon customer who calls, hasn't paid their bill for over 60 days and is yelling at me insulting me for shutting their phone off, pay your god damn bill you chud, we all work for what we have, what gives you the right to think its all free? especially any prick who wants me to transfer them to an "american" north? central? south? because of my name, i'm mexican and better educated than your ignorant ass. but you know what? i do what i can to make people happy and make them pay their bill, but its everyone else that i work with that are pieces of crap, you cant fix the system but hiring mostly trashy people does not help
