Me: Daniel wants to be in a first or second wave emo band and doesn't care if you don't like it.
Jody: With your time machine?
Me: Yes. I'm actually so emo my depression can warp time and space. I'm like a really whiny Professor Hawking.
Jody: But you're bad at math...
Me: I'm not bad at math! I just don't like it. There's a difference!
Jody: Science then?
Me: I got great marks in chem and physics. I sucked at biology though but I blame Mike for most of that.
My friend John: "If you keep this up ONE of you is going to fail!"
Math 30 Ftw.
Me: And who went on to actually do Math 31? This guy!

I can't believe I passed that class... I can't believe you passed that class. Wait... did Cheng pass? I can't remember.
John: Let's go back and check in the Timemo machine! You find a way to convert emo into plutonium and I'll get the DeLorean!
Me: "Back to the Future" would have been so much stranger if Marty McFly were emo. You just can't hit on your mom after playing Sunny Day Real Estate songs.
John: His pants would have been to tight for her to take off of him. I wonder what she would've called him then...
My little brother: This may be my favorite conversation ever.
Me: On a somewhat related note, I'm pretty sure Biff would have been a Limp Bizkit fan.

I'm sitting here watching the Edmonton Oilers play the Nashville Predators. I've been an Oilers fan since the day I started watching hockey. I don't think I really had a choice. I was born in northern Alberta in the 80s. Growing up watching the Gretzky days pretty much cemented my allegiance. Even when we get bent over 10-2 by the Sabres.

I love hockey. I love watching it on TV and I love playing it, although I rarely do. I've always found it more exciting than other sports. Baseball is too slow. Same with soccer. The NFL is full of egotistical douchebags. My CFL team sucks these days. I can't understand the appeal of basketball. But man I love hockey.

There was a period where I didn't get to watch a lot of hockey. For the two years I was in college I didn't have the time and the year I was in Toronto I really only had the option of watching Leafs games and well... it's the fucking Leafs. I moved back to Edmonton during their last insane Stanley Cup run. I hadn't seen many of my friends for a year and suddenly I was seeing them every day. There was yelling, cheering, drinking and, after a heartbreaking loss in the finals, pellet guns. Now I do everything I can to catch every possible games. It's hard since I work evenings most of the time. When I work at the internet cafe I can stream the games online so that's okay. Living in Calgary I also have to contend with Flames fans. But, as Jody has pointed out, I mostly bring that on myself.

I like Rock Band. I'm really, really tired of hearing entire hours of radio filled up with Rock Band songs. Does Sabotage really need to be played twice an hour? Really?
