One of my favorite hockey fights...

I was watching hockey videos on youtube, which is something I never do, and remembered one of my favorite fights. So I looked it up, and was wowed once again.

The two combatants are Travis Moen (who was a Duck), and Shea Weber (Nashville Predators).

The reason I like this fight is because Travis Moen gets his jersey pulled over his face, but still delivers the ultimate punch. You rarely see KO's like this in hockey fights, and he does this with his jersey over his face. Have a look see.



Way to go, Trav.

...and Rain will make the flowers....grow.....

(10 points if you know what the title of this post is from.)

Yesterday, I got to see the Beatles play live, sort of. Ok, maybe I didn't, but I did get to see Rain at the Pantages. Rain is a Beatles cover band, and they play the songs exactly like the Beatles, dress like the Beatles, have the same tendencies as the Beatles, and are just a plain good time. Here's a clip:


I went with Aubrey and Zack, who are big Beatles fans, and just cool people in general. Zack and I saw another Beatles tribute this past summer at the Hollywood Bowl, where CheapTrick played the entire Sgt. Pepper.. album. (Billy Corgan was there, too. Aubrey missed out.)


We also met up with my friend Rob, who is my reference and source for any Beatles knowledge I need to know.

Matching. Music.

We had free dress day the other day, a monthly event here at the school I work at. There is a 6th grader named Johnathan who shares the same passion and fervor for the Anaheim Ducks as I do. We figured out we have a lot of the same t-shirts/jerseys, so we've decided to match for the next few free dress days. Here are some evidences...

I'm standing kind of weird.


We even had the same ducks shirt underneath. We're so cool right now.


Also, my roommate Chad helped me install these cd holders in my room. We got them from ikea, and if you hang them vertically, they are dvd holders.



I've also been writing a lot of lyrics for my friends band I'm starting to sing with. So, that's been fun lately.

#9

Gordie Howe was #9.
Wayne Gretzky wanted #9 (but it was taken, so he settled for #99).
Bobby Hull was #9.
Maurice Richard was #9.
Mike Modano is #9.

My favorite player, Paul Kariya, wears #9 on the St. Louis Blues.

He used to be a Duck.

For the first time since Paul Kariya left in 2004, the Ducks have given his #9 to a new player, Bobby Ryan.

I'm a Bobby Ryan fan, but #9 on the Ducks will always mean Paul Kariya to me.


Who else is/was #9?
(I wore #9 in hockey, #13 in soccer)

Where I live.

A few weeks ago, I moved out from where I had lived for most of my 23 years of life. (I lived in Alhambra for 2 years, and in Slight for 3 years.)

Anywho, here are a few rough "photo booth" pictures from my computer:

This is what you see when you walk in. The apartments are called the Wishing Well apartments.


Here are some living room pictures:


My dad said, for a bunch of guys, we're ahead of the game, since we actually have furniture. He expected to see us sitting on crates and boxes when he came over


Our little table that D brought. It is most excellent for watching the sky get bright in the morning whilst eating breakfast at 6:38 a.m.


D, Chad, and I don't necessarily know our way around kitchens as well as that really good chef. Luckily, our kitchen is really small, so we don't get too lost... yet.


This is one of the two features that really sold me on this place.
A CLOCK ON THE BACK OF THE CABINETS!


AND (you can't see it too well here, you must come see it in person)
A LITTLE AWNING, AS IF THERE WERE A SEPARATE ROOF OVER THE KITCHEN!


D's room.


Chad and Donny's room.


Chad and Donny's room.



Those are few pics. It's a jolly, jolly place to live and eat and sleep. Come on over and we'll play chess, eat oranges, or watch some hockey dvd's.

Goodbye Muscatel, Hello-tus.

I moved .5 miles away from home, to a street called Lotus.

Documentation to come.

Come, Unity.
