Sunday, Sunday, Sunday...

Sunday is a great day now that I think about it. Before it'd just be another work day for me with absolutely no consideration that it should be a good rest day. Now that officially it is my rest day I'm enjoying all of it's glories. My mother just phoned asking about my journey of yesterday but I really couldn't tell her everything.

Yesterday could be considered one of my longest days ever. I woke up at 8:15 to the knock of my billet, Brant who was checking what time I had to be at the clubhouse. What he didn't know that I was supposed to be up half an hour ago to take the bus to the clubhouse. Thankfully he was able to give me and Dan a ride to the clubhouse. We got on the ferry sometime after 10 am and let me say this much. I love riding ferries with the team. You could be walking around by yourself at one moment and then find a whole new group of your team just chilling. Plus the arcade, (note to self: must become acquainted well with virtual tennis to beat Vanderlee).

The actual game was a gong show. We got beat 23-20 by the Chiliwack valley huskers but we should've won. We had a total of 3 punt returns for TDs called back for illegal blocks. It was ridiculous plus it was just a gong show with the attitudes that both teams possesed. It was demonstrated quite well when they got 2 guys ejected from the game then we got taur ejected for trying to help somebody out.

Now the bus ride back. I'll say this much 99 bottles beer, not literally. Aftermath = total warzone. Taking a cab home at 5:30 in the morning.

Did I have fun yesterday, ummmmmm most definitely but I'm looking forward to that rematch.

Congrats Lance on number 7. Hopefully retirement is just as great as winning all 7 championships and please tell Sheryl to produce some more hits.

Damn Daytime Television.

Quickly a review of football over the last week, I had my alumni game and we won 30 - 19 and guess who got a pick. Yes indeedy, I did unfortunately not get a return because I fell down after catching. Anyways we've had another good week of practice minus tuesday, it just didn't feel as much up tempo as the other days.

Anyways regarding the title of the post, I've been waking up the last few days around 10:30 and coming across a great tv show that I haven't watched in a while. That great show would be, The Price is Right. The thing with this show that I love ranges from the many games to the many people that come on the show. The one thing that kinda has me thinking. How many U.S. Soldiers have appeared on The Price is Right and later on paid the price of their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan on this war on terrorism? Weird question but I'm full of them.

SOTD - Today - Smashing Pumpkins

Well today is a very rainy day so thus to spruce things up I'm writing in good old yellow. Anyways yesterday was football testing and I did alright I guess. I believe I only got around a 25 inch vert, 5.0 40 yard dash, I wasn't even able to a single 185 lb bench press, bu I did get a 4.5 shuttle which isn't bad for me. I excelled in my endurance which I was able to stay within the limit for both runs. Thanks to help of jeffery of being my guide on both runs.

I also have to upload some pics pretty soon because there is so many beautiful parts of this town that I need to capture. Anyways more practice tonight.....

Wow Canada Day

I have no idea what to say. After my first night in Victoria, I'm madly deeply in love with the city. Or maybe it was just yesterday's Canada day activities that were excellent. I'll start off by saying waking up 630 in the morning to go on a plane really sucks, and it's just my luck everytime I take the plane it's always early in the morning like that. After a little confusion on where people were going I was finally allocated to my billet where we got acquainted then as soon as I got out of the van he put me to work on helping him get ready for his Canada party he had arranged unaware that my arrival date was 1st and not the 4th as he once had thought.

It gave me a chance to get to know him but as soon as I was done I was anxious to hear stories from the rest of my shep crew of how their billets faired and to find out who really had the best setup here in Victoria. After some lunch we got wandered around downtown and the harbour. All while walking down and noticing the nice scenery I had the feeling of stupidity that I could forget to bring my camera to such a good event. Then I thought to myself I got 4 more months and hopefully occasions such as this would happen again. If not my memory will do it's best to keep the image alive. After heading back to the house for a nap, I awoke to the knowledge that Ottawa beat Montreal. Let me say this now, what an upset.

Aside from the point I met a few people then headed back downtown to take in the true Canada Day festivities. Not a whole lot can be said except meeting those 2 guys from the States who were part of the military was pretty cool. The one guy was heading out to Afghanistan in a few weeks and the other guy was going into the Marines which to me sounds like the craziest thing a person could go through. After some time spent listening to their stories in garrison plus a little bit of booze we headed back out to the harbour to enjoy the fireworks and meet some pretty cool people and by the end of the night I stumbled home from the bus at 1 in morning. Did I enjoy it?? I think the stumbling part speaks for itself.

T minus 8 hours..

This is my first post (could be the last, time depending). You might be asking why blog?? Only nerds blog right. Well guess what I'm a nerd who plays football so that maybe kinda makes me an anomoly or something like it. Anyways before I ramble about nonsense just want to welcome you all to my blog as I report my good ol' times wherever they maybe. Currently I'm back home awaiting for 6:30 to roll around so I can head down to the airport to head off to Victoria for 5 months yada, yada, yada you know the story.
