In other news... the Sabres are 2 wins away from the finals. (Yes that is the way I look at it) This looks like it may be a relatively tough series though! I suppose that is something to look forward to.

Oh boy, I feel a mood comming on. I have gone to work dressed all in black two times this week, and damn it felt good. I'm just waiting for someone to comment (I'm jes waitin' on a nigga ta push me...) I have the urge to fly away. Like up and quit my job and kidnap a highschool student to do my bidding and fly away in the blue-but-should-be-black JETTA. I am getting tired of this chirade. WHEW. And now that I think about it, I have had enough of highschool students, so perhaps I will have to do my own bidding afterall... I think I am going to have to start taking my dogs for 5 mile walks and pray I have enough money to make it through the summer. I keep envisioning Ryan swooping in and rescuing me, wearing one of his crazy rysithagoth outfits, shocking everyone we pass as we exit the building...Hmm Ryan if you are reading this, what do you think? Wanna rescue me? Actually that is exactly what I need. A blunt and a good long walk with Ryan. Something tells me that won't be happening any time soon. I'd like to write more but it is almost time for the "Ascension Mass" liturgy. Why am I so anxious?

Here I sit at work, pretty much just waiting for something to happen. It is sort of a slow day. I am seeing people but sort of sporadically so time isn’t exactly flying by.

Attention Sabres Stalkers: GAME THREE IS TONIGHT, and I just can’t wait! I couldn’t watch game two because locally they decided to show the Carolina series instead. Poo! I tried to watch it but I found that I just didn’t care. I hope tonight’s game is on television. I could check but I don’t want to be pissed all day if it won’t be on. Don’t ask me what kind of logic that is because I don’t pretend to know.

I really need new sneakers and some fans for my apt. Sneakers because my old ones are really stretched out, and fans because even when it’s 60 degrees outside the heat is on in my building. Maybe I’ll splurge and get an air conditioner. I wonder if there is a store (other than Walmart) where I could get all of these items. God I hate shopping and running all over the place.

God what a boring fucking blog this has turned out to be. I used to be cool. Someone slap me!

LET’S GO BUFFALO! Ok, for the record I no longer live in Buffalo, however the Sabres mean as much to me as they ever did. Although I can only watch like 40% of the games here in Syracuse I have been following them closely. I was even thinking of driving to Canada to watch on CBC when they aren’t televised here. If the Sabres set themselves up to sweep Ottawa I just might. Oh and yes, I realize that I was wrong about my hockey predictions. I have no excuse really… I never thought we’d face Ottawa in the second round! As of now we are up 2-0 on the series. I am really pleased but scared too in a way. I know we are going to face them at home for the next two games and that most people would say that our record so far this series, along with home ice advantage all but sews up a victory. You can’t however, count Ottawa out yet. I would be shocked if they didn’t win at least one game! Then again we have a really good record against them in the playoffs… Now I’m just rambling.

I have been writing pretty regularly lately, which is a good thing. I think I may finally be onto something. Either that or I’m totally loosing it, both of which are equally possible. Has anyone noticed how it is amazingly difficult to fulfill your dreams? Sometimes I am sick of working toward my goals. What I mean is, isn’t it about time I succeeded already?

I really want to go camping. I need some fresh air and fire light.

I have lunch duty now, so I must go. Let me leave you by saying flip ‘em the bird, the peace bird. More to come on that later…

Well the regular season is over and the race is on for the STANLEY CUP. I can’t say that I am as excited as I would have been when I was a kid, but I am still really looking forward to it. It may have something to do with having no friends. (Having no friends is kind of liberating…but I digress.) Is anyone interested in my Buffalo Sabres Hockey predictions for the playoffs? If I can’t see the games out here I’ll be really sad! Ok in a nutshell, here we go: I think the Sabres will take Philly in 5 relatively easy games, (all we have to do is contain Peter Forsberg and they will go down hill fast) then they’ll beat the devils in seven games and sweep the Hurricanes before an intense third round with the Senators, that series will also go 7 games. Buffalo may or may not be able to beat the Senators… I think it depends on whether or not Hasek is, a) on the ice b) playing like we know he can play. If Dominik Hasek is healthy and ‘on his game,’ there is no beating him. Even if he is a little rusty in the beginning, we wont face him on the ice for a month, which is really plenty of time to loosen up. I can’t imagine how it will feel if the Sabres make it all the way to the finals. It would be just my luck, since this is my first time living out of the city for more than six or eight weeks, that the Sabres would go all the way. I can just see myself now driving back to Syracuse at 2 am all tired and stupid after a game so I can work the next day.


I forgot to post this on Friday, and let me say that although the Sabres won the game on Saturday, I a quite disappointed because for some reason the game was blacked out in Syracuse!!! WTF?? It was on the TV schedule but when I tuned in all pumped up for the game (dinner ready, lucky pj’s, etc.) there was some sort of old time hockey special playing with a message scrolling across the bottom of the screen saying that the game wasn’t going to be seen in this area. I called the cable company but they couldn’t tell me why. RATS! What if I can’t watch any of the games. I’m so sad!

Not too sad for a shopping spree, however. This weekend I bought 1) a new queen sized pillow top bed, 2) a new bright red comfy love seat, and 3) a new black chaise lounge. Note that I said ‘new’ not ‘good-will’ or ‘someone gave it to me.’ God I love having a real job. The bed was delivered on Saturday. The rest will be coming in the next few weeks. I can’t wait! My apartment almost looks like home! Funny story about buying the bed… I looked online for discount mattress stores on Friday. I found a few, and on Sat. got up early and happily went looking for a new bed. The first place I went was a factory direct place. It was kind of big and creepy but I went in anyway. There was a sign that said 'mattress showroom at end of dock.’ I followed the arrow and came across some guys smoking cigarettes. They said ‘Hi’ and I said ‘hi’ and, pointing toward the end of the dock, I asked ‘are they in there?' They said ‘yeah go right on in.’ So I did. It was kind of cold and dark and really cluttered and messy. I was surprised at the loud rock music playing somewhere in the back. I saw a few people walking around in workshop type clothes and lots of materials for mattress-making stacked up at stations on the floor. There were big staplers hanging from the ceiling etc. I thought, hmm factory direct is definitely the right thing to call this. I turned the corner and there were a few beds lined up near a desk. I started trying them out. There were workers walking around, and they definitely saw me, but no one said anything. While I was laying on one of the beds wondering when someone was going to come out and try to sell me a bed, I noticed a sign on the desk that had the store hours on it. It said they were closed on Saturday. I jumped up and looked around. No wonder no one came over to help me. They were trying to figure out what the hell I was doing there. I definately saw more than one guy walk by and give me a sideways glance. I got the hell out of there. I passed by the same guys smoking cigarettes on the way out. They said ‘did you find him?’ I said ‘yes,’ as I walked quickly past them, smiling but totally embarrassed. They must have thought I was looking for a person, not a mattress. I can’t believe I didn’t notice any of the clues that the store was closed. I can’t believe I was lying on a bed in a closed-for-the-weekend, dark factory and no one yelled at me. Stoner moment.

Happpppppyyyy 420.

I guess you know you are a total stoner when someone points out, that on a particular playlist you are listening to on your ipod stereo, you have the same Beatles song like five times. Not five different versions or anything, just the same song five times, and you are totally shocked, because you work out to that playlist every day, and you never noticed... I mean what can you say except 'oh that one is my favorite!' Rediculous.
