Moving on in life.

I was in champaign this weekend. The town where I created most of my boozy memories in life. It was a lot of fun. I didn't try to do too much, I just focused on playing hockey and getting some drinks in with rad people. This is a fairly safe way to go through life, I think. And while I was nostalgic for my time in Champaign, I didn't feel like I belonged there anymore. And I was ready to leave on Sunday, which is good. I take a while to let go of places I've lived, so its solid when I can.

My hockey skills were no where near as shitty as I thought they would be. Because, hey, remember the "life of pansy" ear infection I had? Yeah, wasn't playing too much hockey then. So, after three weeks off, and one practice, I still played well. I wasn't the best guy on my team, but I was a positive contributor to the game. Felt good.

Of course nothing happened with that girl. What are you, crazy? As if something good would ever happen in my love life. HA!

Possibly the best hockey party ever on Saturday. I got to make out with a couple of random girls. Definetly dumped the creepy stalker girl off on some Canadian. And was able to wander around these areas in one party:
-Dance Room
-Oversized Darts room (the darts were oversized) where people were playing for clothes
-kitchen with the shot fuckers
-the bonfire we stole from the neighbors party
-the room with Super Mario World (I'm better at it sober)
-the upstairs kitchen with a constant caps game

Really, it was a party for all ages. And times. Okay, maybe not ages. I don't know what your mom would be doing there except for... oh, right. Sorry, forgot about the bedrooms. Yeah, ouch dude. Sorry to break it to you like this. At least she was having fun!

Picked up the new "Trail of the Dead" disc. It is, as has been decribed in the comments, a great album. I good mix of melodic, flowing, almost choral parts with solid guitaring and great rhythm parts. And while the radio singles sound great on their own, they also fit in the album very well. I reccomend it to people who like good music.
