1. Kovalev can play when motivated.
2. The Senators should still lose and “re-model” the team some more – I did like Campoli’s play.
3. With the Flu its never over until its really over!
4. When someone stops by just to say hey – invite them in you moron even if you were busy playing an online tournament – and they said they were just passing through (sorry about that again btw).
5. I guess the fifth one is that I have to decide whats potentially more important – a chance to follow through on one goal (a “fake” triathalon – or the 2-4 concurrent playoff games I probably have scheduled on Sept 5th)
The fact that I didnt choose softball right away for number 5 is almost surprising in my estimation – after last year maybe I have burnt out on it a little bit – I’m starting to feel that way with alot of things (including snow).

Got to play poker at Costas’ tonight – it was good if you exclude the 4 straight hand losing decent sized pots on the river, the habs and sens losing, and being out first.
It was still a relaxing evening that I don’t get out to do enough – I really have to re-prioritize a number of activities I have or don’t have on my plate.
Now that work is settled – new “organization” of the team I’m in with no real affect to what I’m doing for several months it may be time to get out of the doldrums of winter and prepare for the summer and when activities really take off.
What does that mean? It means my current lack of exercise is finally coming to a close – the New Year’s Resolution gets a Start Date and people can now bitch when I eat things I shouldn’t.
There is one thing I’ve always thought about doing and maybe its time I put up or shut up in regards to completing the activities of a triathalon. Its very weird that I seldom mention this but I was one of those crazies that used to actually watch the Ironman for an hour or two whenever it was on back in highschool. I envied those athletes, I considered them above and beyond the NXX sports (NBA/NHL/NFL – and MLB).
So yes I have to now come up with a reasonable plan for a out of shape male to potentially take 4 months to train for a triathalon. In the meantime I’m looking forward to the following things:
There’s so many other things I could add but I really shouldn’t because my success rate at extracurriculars has been lagging for some time.
Take it easy while you get the chance – eventually it catches up to you and it’ll be time to bring goals into view and bear down on them.

I couldn’t really find as good a quote as I wanted but this does describe how I feel about apache-xmlrpc – It did what I wanted in such a convoluted way that I’ve managed to switch implementations and accomplish the same level of sucess in a few hours that have consumed a few days.
The learning process over the last few days I’m sure helped make the turnaround time possible but I’m still positive I’ve made the right decision.
I will make a note though that some of my quotes just don’t seem right coming from someone who’d been in fear of layoffs for sometime – I think they might be concerned that someone goes postal if they get laid off and any quips like the one above can probably be misconstrued.
It was a successful work day though I’m glad to have killed one path to success to get on one that’s infinitely shorter.
My Servlet is now running the way I want…. Time for Lunch.
For the record while Mr. Urban can’t stand mentioning this movie – it is a classic.
Regardless just finished getting back from dropping off V&L and this quote reminds me of how I feel about Buzz…. Won 1 round and lost my third career game… oh well.
It has been one month (almost) since I’ve managed to blog. We all know its not because I have suddenly sworn off computers and found a different calling. I’ve been toying with the idea of posting many times now but never felt the urge I guess. The most recent time brings me back to the quote in the title. I was watching firefly and it boggled my mind how such a good series could not stay on TV and yet a movie like Waterboy gets made.
Now don’t get me wrong I fully enjoyed Waterboy but it still is low brow humor and no where does it really deserve to be appreciated more than some other shows/movies.
In that regard I am going to finally attempt to add a Movie Quote daily to my blog kindof give it a theme of the day feel. It would also coincide with me finally adding a Movie/Book section.
I warn you all now I used to watch alot of B-rated movies and have owned several that you’d probably shake your head at but I know some of you appreciate a bad movie and maybe my list will remind you to go back and watch some gems.
As for work and life I’m still working and learning so thats good. I’ve escaped any problems for the next several months I hope so that is very positive.
