ink_addicted

I've been known to have a cigar once in a blue moon when out drinking, but that's about it. Cigarette smoke has never bothered me, but I've never really had the urge to light up, either.
I was actually the trigger to get both of my parents to quit cold turkey from two packs a day, too... mom caught me dangerously close to working a lighter at about 18 months, and they both dropped it right then

That's a bummer you drove all the way out to meet everyone and didn't manage to, hopefully next time we'll be a bit more organized!

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that. My sincerest condolences.

As for the jersey, Madbrothers.com can sort you out with a jersey from any player in the film.

Agreed! Although for me it went fast, then slow, but not in the good way.

PMB better come back with reckless abandon. I remember him having a horrible contract last I checked.

No kidding! I don't do anything that I am trying to hide, so I don't mind the surveillance. Theoretically, and ideologically, I understand the deep flaws in a panopticon system of disciplinary control, but as an everyday practice it does not harm me personally. Except in ways that I have internalized to the point of naturalizing. EEK! Anyway - nerd tangent.

I enjoy discussing my ink as well! I don't want to be touched, unless asked, but talking about them is fun. I've received mostly positive feedback, so that helps. I'm sure the other guy was stoked on the exchange as well!

They, being the several people from Enterprise who made this a slow process.

Really, I should have gone for UPS, got it, been doing what I'd rather do for now and then applied at Enterprise, so I'd have a job in hand.

That's what angers me with the whole experience, the fact I pretty much missed the boat with UPS because I thought it would be bad if I worked at UPS for say two weeks and then switched over.

Now, hindsight being 20/20, everyone says I should have done that in the first place, when UPS is what I wanted to do to begin with, since Enterprise really doesn't interest me.

C'est la vie.

Yeah, I may have your Twins curse. Seriously though, this team has been screwed of three legitimate goals in the last two games we've been too, but they have no goal camera and they have no "Toronto" so they get fucked.

Wild how they can beat a team who we watched them lose to 7-2 at home, 8-0 away last Saturday, and then lose Sunday.

What is fun is the fact our section brings the team to life in the end of the 3rd period, its our heckling and yelling that gets them all jacked up, and its nice to know that the team are feeding off it, even if they can't shoot and lose all the time.

I have a great time at every game because (unlike our Twins) I have no expectations. They are shit, they do get screwed over, so sitting with my friends yelling shit at the goalie, standing up getting the opposition players to look at me as I heckle them makes it all worthwhile.

Plus our section is hilarious. This lady next to me hands me her phone saying this guy in the suite across the rink is saying Minnesota sucks. I was like tell him to come down here, and I started talking trash on the phone, to find out it was Chris (who is an OSU/Canucks fan) who sits right next to us. He was with his work buddies who got a suite rather than sitting where he usually does. Hysterical.

We are, and the feeling of making the game better for everyone around us makes the experience better. I've got the A-OK for season tickets (I've just bought them every game so far) so I'll be there 34 more times.

The best is when you get the goalie to shake his head because he's listening to all the stuff we say everything to "You're a Siv", "Ya GAHBAGE!" to clean insults like "You have no facebook friends", "You love your family", "You kiss your brother", "You live in a boring town". We also specialize them to whoever it is and where they are from.

We've also got the Gopher - "Always were" and "That's debatable" going, although I think the "and they still suck" is the best (MSU hockey).

We also throw out hockey pop culture references: Swingers, slapshot, the old nike commercials.

Btw, the Walleye's captain is a Vikes fan, not from Minnesota though, Brampton Ontario. He's a fighter, small by scrappy. So last game someone smashes him against the boards I get up scream and point "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO A VIKINGS FAN". It was amazing.

Yeah, people in Detroit won't talk shit to you really at any sporting event, especially since you are rooting for a team when there are tons of fans in that area.

I think one time out of the 18 years I lived up there did a kid say anything to me, and it was in passing after the Twins just won and I didn't even hear it, my friend did. The kid didn't have the balls to say it to my face or say it loudly.

I was going to say, I've never heard of someone as young as you being diagnosed with it.

Yeah, I figured it was quite common. My family is very medically sound, as my grandfather (Mom's dad) was one of the better doctors of this century (In Who's Who) especially with the work he did at Harvard Med school pediatrics and his invention of part of the mechanical heart. So, my Mom worked for him a bit doing lab work, blah blah blah it runs in the family so she knew what she was doing.

It's so far back to remember I can't remember if they were annoying or not. I remember one instance when I had them and was running around some new building at school but that's it. The rest is blocked. haha

Once you let your hair grow, the hair strands stretch the pores so the skin doesn't itch anymore, my beard never itches (unless you don't comb it of course and your skin gets dry) and actually shaving constantly can cause the exact same skin irritation.

I originally started out with "the goat", and then at college said fuck it and went for the full beard. What I have now is probably not what I'll go with for the rest of my life, or even at my job, but its interesting to say the least to have another look.

Beards are great, they are masculine and awesome. I truly feel bad for all my friends that can't grow one. It's funny for as much as society puts them down in the corporate world everyone loves mine, girls, guys, etc.

Beardism needs to stop as does tattoism.

I just got my interview with Enterprise on Friday btw, sent my "phone conversation email" (yeah I know, makes no sense) in and she called me back 2 hours later to set up a meeting.

So we'll see if I'll be doing this or not on Friday at 1030am. Part of me wants to say fuck all this shit and work at UPS and the other half says this Enterprise bit is better for my resume, looks better for when I eventually leave and do something else.

What to do...what to do..

All I know is I'm going to two hockey games this weekend.

Yeah it is a bit of a drag, especially this close to the end of it all, but it seems to be going into a bright and shinier spot so I will take it.

This one:

See, your dad helped the Wild, and more importantly Havlat last night. He willed that puck to trickle in past Kiprusoff.

Also, every time a team scores against him my friends and I used to yell "TAKE YOUR FUCKING MASK OFF".

Since after every goal he used to completely take off his mask. No idea why, but that at least used to be his thing.

I was a stooges fan growing up and I didn't know they did that movie, so I could hardly believe some kids younger than us actually getting it.

The surreal ones often are.

Bachman winning would definitely have me feeling like you if I had to be represented by her. Hope it gets better over there before it gets worse.

That sucks man. The worst I've had was crickets at college. Killed 65+ with my 18'' Bowie knife one spring.

I still think the Mascot should have been Babe the Blue Ox.

The Blue Ox was actually one of the team names mentioned, I'd take that over the Wild, but of course, I want the North Stars. Fuck Dallas for keeping the rights.

The Browns got to keep their shit. I think its just because the owner was basically run out due to all the scandals and all of that. That was his sucker punch.

I hope you are successful in getting Bachman out, from what I have seen of her on TV and heard from my cousin that lives in Minneapolis, she needs to go, she is contradictive crazy, and that's not a good crazy at all.

So good luck to you sir!!, and to your sister for that matter!

Sounds like you have some smart wind over there.

Glad to hear only the car gets hurt, but that's usually how those encounters go when you have a bigger vehicle.

Yeah until that commercial I never knew that I wanted a tiny giraffe.

Just saw the Mittens goal (I've got the NHL package on my computer).

Are you not close with your son? or is it just weird he can now legally buy porn, cigarettes and sign up to this site? haha

3D tv? Me thinks that might be too much LOL! Fun at times, sure.
