i've been in a bitter mood all weekend because the raptors blew the game vs. new jersey on friday, and then got their asses handed to them by boston on sunday. that's all i have to say...

on a brighter note, i was at my cousin's baby shower over the weekend. babie's galore. instant birth control!!!

i was pretty upset that the raps lost to orlando. i really have to question sam mitchell as a coach, because i just don't think he knows how to utilize his players. his rotations are all over the place, and he doesn't seem to know how to matchup at all. with that being said, they did beat down on miami last night...2nd time in the past 3 days, but let's note that calderon was back in the lineup.

on a losing note, my ducks got a beat down from washington and ovechkin. that kid is good...there should have been a player on him all night. it was good to see him play even though it was for a loss.

now nikki has been reading twilight for the past week. she is so into this book that she read through the first volume in like 2 days, and then she read the 2nd book in almost the same time. i only know of the movie that is supposed to come out this week. the movie looks silly, and the early reviews have not been favourable, but i did promise her i would read the book when i have time. we're supposed to watch the movie this weekend...i'm really going to try and contain myself...

the fires have been raging all weekend. the sky was filled with smoke and ash...honestly, it was an amazing site. the brea fires were the closest to us, roughly around 3 miles away. we weren't sure whether or not we had toe evacuate or not...so we just stayed around our place, watching the news to see where the fire was heading. these santa ana winds are crazy. they just blow every which way...very hard to predict. luckily enough for us, the fires never reached our place...

for some good news...the ducks beat the kings and the raps beat miami! all in all, a good sports weekend for me! oh, did i mention that with all these fires going, i had a craving for korean bbq on the weekend!

raps got a beat down again! this time, to the sixers for whom they beat in the opener merely 2 weeks ago! what's wrong with this picture? calderon went down with a hamstring injury...so who does sam mitchell put in...solomon. not to say solomon is not a good guard, but for goodness sake, roko played in the 3 games the raps won...so why not put him in again!!!! ahh!!!!!
and please tell me...what is wrong with this picture? can anyone say help?

anyways, we had staff hockey this morning and i'm happy to say, i scored a sick goal. i also wore my leafs jersey...so i can give props to brian burke who ultimately may end up in toronto! good luck brian, you'll need it if you inherit the mess that is the maple leafs!!

yesterday i volunteered at walter knott elementary school in buena park. it was for hockey development and we had to read to the kids. my buddy tim and i had a 3rd grade class, and he read a dr. suess book, while i picked a book called the "the greatest goal" which was about the 1972 canada / soviet hockey series! you know the story...the amazing goal by paul henderson to win it all for canada??? suffice it to say, the kids were really attentive. tim's book took merely 10 min to read...mine however, was like 50 pages, and took me almost half an hour. my arm was killing me...but at least the kids got a crash course in canadiana!!!

raps got an ass kicking last night! i was so upset after the game as i knew it was a win we let slip away! nikki couldn't understand why i was so upset...i guess it's just a guy thing, and perhaps, because i used to work for them...i have emotional attachment to the team. when they lose, i lose...

for some reason, the weekends just seem to fly by! i guess it's primarily because there always seems to be something happening. as for this weekend, my buddy and i went over to my brother's place to help him replace the suspension on his audi a4.

we also had to scout out some potential sites for our new business venture. we checked out some sites in corona, which were really cool. we are really going ahead with our plans...so it's pretty exciting!

sunday was my day of rest. i worked out on saturday, so i wasn't really planning on hitting the gym again, so instead, i cleaned the apt. i also cleaned my fish bowls and watched the raptors beat up on charlotte!!! all in all, a great weekend...

well, today is election day here in the US. as you can imagine, it's politics mania going on. obama vs. mccain!!! i'm so excited to just be here to witness history in the making. i unfortunately cannot vote as i'm not a US citizen...but if i were able to, i'm not quite sure who i'd vote for...the country is in disarray as it is, so whoever wins...good luck, as you'll have a huge mess to clean up! let's just throw my favourite candidate for 2012 in...for me, its palin all the way!!!!


how can you not love this woman!

now to some more serious topics...AI to detroit!!!! whoa! i didn't see that coming. and it just happens that AI's first game will be tomorrow against the raptors! that is going to be an awesome game! can't wait.

finally a weekend where i can just sit at home, and relax. the past week was long, arduous and hectic. i had to work friday night which was fine. nikki decided to stay home and give out candy...(and when i say give out candy, i mean, leaving a bowl out in front of the door and have the kids help themselves!)

the ducks game was awesome, even though we lost in the shoot out. a total of 13 goals, and we lost in the 13th round of the shootout...amazing. the raptors were also having their home opener that night! i was trying so hard not to watch the game or highlights as i knew i was working. my buddy jamal comes upstairs to the VIP lounge to tell me that the raptors lost!!! that news completely sucked the life out of me...so it prompted me to go downstairs to see the result for myself. it was the best decision i made, as the raptors tied the game in regulation, and won it on OT. jamal is a bastard...but the raps won, so its all good!
