Everything is looking up. I love how things are going right now. All in one day, everything picks up. I turn 18, find out will and i definately are rooming together, and realize that im starting to play hockey alot better (and to be recognized for it). New RUSH cd tomorrow, new RUSH concert in exactly one month. UCF orientation, hanging out with my cousin around orlando this weekend, and college in less than two months. I'm damn ready for this. I can't wait til I finally have time to start saving for some recording gear, im ready to start my first cd. I'm ready to sleep.

My Masterpiece
Come gather round people wherever you roam. and admit that the presence around you has grown. And accept it that soon you'll beat to the bone. If your life to you is worth saving. You better start praising or youll begin to moan, for the times they are a changing.

Come losers and hobos who don't own a pen. please keep your clothes on I wont ask again. And please don't talk to me for thats a great sin. and you can be damn sure its you ill be blaming. For the winner now will continue to win, but the times they are a changing.

Come presidents, preachers, please don't you stall. Don't you dare throw that little damn ball. For he who gets hit will be he who gets mauled. The dodgeball match surely is raging. Please get out of the game if you dont have any hands, for the times they are a changing.

Come dragons and wizards with power at hand. Please don't destroy what you can't understand. The people before you are at your command. And the walls of your lair need some painting. You might get a new place and then join a band, for the times they are a changing.

The engines have fired they're mark will be cast. Whatever theyre strapped will be really fast. What was that thing, it quickly went past. vision is rapidly fading. The first one now will never be last, and you still say the times are a changin.

It's not everyday that you wish you could take back a significant part of an action or a thought or many of both, but it has certainly seemed that I need be doing that tonight. Obviously there are things that I have said that are completely either innapropriate or misthought, but I wish for that impossibility of taking them back now. Why can't I learn, at least become conditioned to, not use my capabilities before expressing thoughts? And why am I struck silent when it seems words are needed more than any other time?Playing music helps not, I will sleep troubled.

I played hockey again yesterday, which was alot of fun, and once again this one kid that I know there, Kevin could not score on me. He even had about 8 shots and 2 breakaways. I love getting angry by simply playing, it's fun. I scraped my knee a little bit trying to do something while skatting before hockey that ive been trying to do for almost 2 years. Jumping into the air and coming down in stopping position. I've tried it at least 200 times and half of those times i ended up bleeding somewhere. I'm still confident that i'll be able to do it one day.

Speaking of hockey, I wish I knew some people who played, it gets really boring going to northtree alone and hoping some other people come to play pick-up, and even driving to IceZone isn't much fun because I don't know anybody. It's kinda funny when Will comes though, watching him try to stop and then try to teach someone else to do it when he can't even do it. Ah well. Hopefully I'll some guys in orlando that play because it seems hopeless down here.

Went to Pat's wedding (the reception anyway) which was typical. I didn't know anybody but his friends and wife. I tried to enjoy myself, and was able to leave before being forced to dance. I checked out the '65 mustang that his dad let him drive and was gonna kill pat if it was given to him, but he was only borrowing it. i didnt drool too long, or else id get depressed because i know ill never have one that nice...see look im doing it!

How did I get back on hockey? Anyhow, I've been playing alot better, I don't get exhausted as easy anymore, and I'm comfortable now. I've waited and practiced for so long.

Brett Hull, Steve Thomas, Dominik Hasek...gone from the Red Wings.
Chris Chelios, Steve Yzerman...staying THANK GOD!

Today I went down to delray to hang out with the cats, bought them some food and let them listen to music before i left. Thought about watching or going to a movie before realizing that it would be better to do something a little more productive so i went down to the park to play hockey. Eventually we started a pick-up game which was fun, but i had already been there for about 3 hours and by the end of that game i was exhausted. i cant help but mention this guy, he looked to be in his mid late twenties with a 7 yr old (i heard him say his age) and what looked to be a 2 yr old and his wife. He was cursing more than i had ever heard anyone curse ever. It was kinda shocked until he kept calling his 7 yr old son a fag, which im sorry to say amused me. he also kept accusing him of checking out the other little kid who was playing hockey which just had me laughing out loud trying not to get his attention. im finally home with a big slurpy, and once the exhaustion is over im sure ill feel much better than i would had i simply watched a movie.

Finally got my powerbook and actually enjoy using it. cant say the same for any new pc i ever got. Its got so much more than i expected, too much to talk about hear, and i love its compatibility with the ipod, pure genious on apple's part. anyhow, if you wanna know how great it really is get one yourself, you cant get a feel for everything just going to the mac store as i found out. im still discovering new things, like having the computer tell you jokes etc. ya for me

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING: 2004 Stanley Cup Champions
Final - Game 7
2-1 Lightning

Congratulations

GAME 7 STANLEY CUP FINALS: MONDAY
For the second time in NHL history, there will be two back to back years in which the Stanley Cup Finals go to 7 games, something that doesn't even happen often at all to begin with. Monday at 8pm Calgary Flames will go to Tampa and face the lightning in what will be one of the greatest games of the year. Calgary statistically should not have made it this far, and nobody gave Tampa a shot although they did win the East. In what might be the most unlikely matchup in the finals in a while we see a game 7. I hope for the good of the US and Florida, Tampa will win. Although it does now seem that all of Canada is backing the flames, and by all means, they deserve this win perhaps even more than the Lightning who have never won a cup at all. All we can do now is wait, Monday at 8pm.
