As I thought about your predicament a little further Diddy I realized I had ran into something similar. I had 2 friends back in college named Chris and Karen. They were roommates. Chris had been steady with this guy named Mark for about 3 years. When she broke up with him something happened between Mark and Karen and somehow Chris found out about it. Maybe Karen told her. Chris never got angry with Karen but since I was her best friend she confided in me that it really bothered her. She didn't know why but it really bugged her. She never agonized over it. She only told me one time.

A few months later Chris went on to date this really spectacular guy named Ron. I think Chris might at one time have had deeper feelings for Mark than Ron, though, I couldn't figure that one out. Ron was smoking and a very nice guy.

Chris was a year ahead of me in school and she graduates and get this job on the other side of the country leaving Ron behind. A few months after Chris has left for good I'm taking some summer classes and run into Ron and we hang out. Ron went on to make a pass but at the time I still had my loyalty to Chris uppermost in my mind. I mean I really liked Chris. One of the best friends I ever had. So I had the idea that Chris might not like me with Ron and I turned Ron down.

In retrospect I shouldn't have been so quick to reject Ron since Chris was completely out of the picture and except for one letter she sent me I never saw or heard from her again. So I guess what I'm saying is if this girl you're interested in is somehow split off from the others then I'd say go for it. I mean I look back and I missed a golden opportunity. But you still have to do the weighing thing. Now this sounds a little opportunistic I know but I think the chances you have in life to find the right person are limited. Does this make sense?

I shot a man in Reno. Just to watch him die.

OH. COME ON PEOPLE...ALL THESE POSTS AND NOBODY'S USED THIS LINE YET?

Ya'll are slippin'...

Speaking of churches, I am not religious at all, but there was a brief period of time where I attended church during Junior High School to get closer to a girl.

humorous.

we have read your posts. your thoughts are really not that secret. we still like you though.

phil cheers everyone up. he is the best!!!

what about the chics that peak at 16? thats not a pretty road. by 32 they are .... i dont think there is a word that describes that kind of exponential deterioration

Britnification.

Ok, well how about this one then. I really don't like Shawshank Redemption that much but I've never wanted to say it for fear the men in the Lounge would lose even more respect for me than they already have.

You've gained the respect of a couple--at least.

confession: i hate hockey

this is one retarded sport that should be abolished from the face of the earth. 12 fat white guys skating in circles chasing a small piece of plastic. and what is with the goalies?? the padding and shin guards that they wear is wide enough to cover 82.6% of the net. why stop there?? why not just give them a large plate of lexan plastic with a handle that has a hole in it just big enough for the puck to slide through? that way they can just kick back and relax and save all thier energy for the fighting.

and what is with the idiotic passing rules? no two line passes? why? hockey is boring enough. let them score some goals. making a two blue line pass is too much offense?? and what about clearing the zone until the puck enters first? this rule is almost as the offsides rule in soccer (almost).

and the most retarded part... ahhh yes.... the fighting. hockey allows fighting. really? if someone needs to be policed you cant just take that big wooden stick in your hands and give them a poke in the ribs? or cant you just take an elbow and land it in the small of thier back? you really have to allow fighting? and i wouldnt even call it fighting. its just two apes who grab each others jerseys and throw weak girlflailingiamsomadatyouicouldjustspit punches. give my ANY starting linebacker in the NFL and match him up against ANY NHL player and it would be no contest. the NFL dude would just pick up the hockey guy and body slam him and he would be like, "damn, that was quick"

confession: i hate hockey fans more than i hate hockey.

here are the people that actually spend money to go out and watch the dumbest sport in america. its bad enough that they support this sport, but their behaviour is dumber than the game itself.

first, its their appearance. most of them wear those retarded 8XL hockey jerseys that either completely engulf themselves down to just below their kneecaps. or, they are obese enough that the 8XL is just a couple sizes short of being a nice fit. and you really are going to paint your face for a hockey game??? this is the behaviour that is only OK for drunk frat boys at college football games. anywhere else and this should be grounds for admittance into a mental facility.

now, the behaviour. it seems that there are only four acceptable things to do at a hockey game.

one, the neutral pose. this is the one that most fans are doing about 60% of the game. hold a beer in one hand and lean back far enough so that you are in a very relaxed pose. it is important to open your mouth just far enough so that it is hard to tell if you are trying to catch your breath, fighting constipation, or just doing your normal slawjacked pose. if you have a big belly, this is your time to shine. lean back farther so you can push you belly out to its maximum protruding position. this signifies that you have arrived financially. it shows that you have enough disposable income to shovel all sorts of salty, non-nutritional snacks in your face all day. remember some of these snacks are not cheap. if you are polishing off six bags of funyons before lunch, that is 8 or 9 dollars a day. that adds up over 150 working days a year!!! plus, a big belly shows that you have some cushy canadian union job, or some cushy UAW job where you can never be fired if you just show up everyday. balla!!

second pose, the cupped fist over the mouth with the other hand doing a circular fist pump. this one is much more tricky than you would think. the tricky part is that you have to set down your beer and chili-cheese-fries-with-extra-chili-and extra-cheese-and-then-some-more-extra-cheese. once this is accopmlished, you have to know when to start hooting and how hard to pump your fist. you cant just be pumping your fist and hooting at the top of your lungs when your team is bringing the puck into the zone, you have to save this kind of emotional outburst for a goal or a really good body check. then, when the time is right, like right after a goal, you pump your fist and hoot for all your worth. and if you are drunk enough, you wont be able to tell if you are at a hockey game or an eminim concert. cant beat that!!

third behaviour, (reserved only for the people with rink side seats) jumping up and slapping the glass when someone is body checked into the boards. now you would think that this celebration is saved for when the opponent is checked into the boards, but no. it is perfectly acceptable to get up and beat the glass when your favorite player has just been obliterated into the glass. this might seem counterintuitive, but it shows that you are into the game and you are ready to celebrate any random act of violence that occurs within a ten feet radius of your seat. to do this behaviour completely correct, you must first tilt your chin up and squint your eyes as tightly shut as you can. your mouth must be completely open and you must howl anything unitelligible as loud as you can. words here are a minus. it shows to much complexity of thought. the position of the hands is critical also. the fingers must be splayed completely straight out so that each one is a dagger of straighness. to use your hands to beat on the glass properly, you must keep elbows below your shoulders and make sure that it is the flats of your palms that is making contact with the glass. this gives the desired, "retardo freak out look" that is most coveted. when all of these are combined together properly, there really is no recognizable difference between a three year throwing a temper tantrum or a grown man being given a prostate exam by shaquille oneil.

the fourth acceptable behaviour is the altercation with an opposing hockey player where some kind of physical exchange takes place. the most basic is the cup of beer over the head of the opposing player in the penalty box. more advanced fans will wait until they have had a chance to drink at least half the beer and cup has been impregnated with the requisite amount of backwash and tabacco juice. another good one is grabbing the hockey stick of the opposing player who is aggressively shaking it at you after you have made dispariging comments about their wife. the trick here is to get two hands on the stick and try to yank it out his hands before he is wise to what you are doing. then, the coup de gras of all hockey altercations is the actual fight with an opposing player. yes, it doesnt make sense to think that a 140 pound alchoholic could beat up a 220 hockey player, but then again, hockey doesnt make sense. if your fight is quick and painless, you will actually be able to get a limp wristed slap before the opposing hockey player is pulled back by his teammates. but sometimes these things go wrong. occasionally the hockey player will actually get a punch in and you will have to walk around the next two weeks with a black eye, explaining to everyone that, "who wooda taught dat ole _____insky cooda punched dat hard? eh?"

i guess if i were more enterprising i could find some way to make really easy money off of them, like selling overpriced squid and and hats to them on game days. or convincing them to buy even more baggy and expensive hockey jerseys, but it just doesnt seem worth it. it seems like any interaction with them would require months of being stuck in the bathroom taking rape showers, scrubbing your skin to get all of the "hockey" off of you.

now you are just plain being silly. respect?

Benjamin Linus is my hero.

Katy, ban hammer please.

well, to be fair, the hockey players are doing all that ON SKATES Put the NFL player on ice skates and see how long he lasts.
