Every Reason To

A top of the morning ol Webslingeroonies!!! Well the ol staff party was Sunday nite after work and it was fun indeedy! I did not get up there till about 11:45 Sunday night and my younger co-workers jumped into the van while it was still driving! I thought the deck on the house was going to collapse because there was about twenty or so ladies dancing on it to the Grease soundtrack....although i noticed they stopped dancing when Sandy by John Travolta came on, but were back in full swing in time for Sha-Na-Na! I cannot believe that i was the last one standing at 4:00 when i decided to go out and cook some hot dogs on the fire, only thing was that stupid ol' Robbo forgot to take the plastic wrappings off the ol weenies and i had a Drunken Master fit over eating plastic weenies. I ended up working Monday morning because my boss was too hungover to continue... things are going well between me and the girl, we talked on MSN last night for awhile, i guess i am one of those silly paranoid guys who always think after a great date that is it and therefore i always wait for the let down/ get lost phone call, e-mail or MSN message. It is a silly fear, but i have been in relationships with some real doozies over the years, so i guess i cannot blame one for being skeptical of others. Most of my fears about what may happen in this relationship are really fears that have been experienced in past relationships, and have nothing to do with this person, of whom i think a great deal of. Oh well whatever happens happens i guess. Went to New Minas and bought some CD-R's at Staples and was looking to get out of the parking lot there when a van drives by and lo and behold it is painted exactly like the frickin Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo! I guess quite a few people have noticed it lately, i so freaked out! Not Tom Cruise level freaked out (Isn't he cracking up lately?) Or Jeromy Roenick level of freak out either, personally most of today's hockey players are so bland and one cannot tell one apart from another, many see the NHL as being bland and yawn inducing with no hope of ever really breaking in America, it is just a regional game and many people should see that and players themselves should realize that their salaries cannot compete with those of Major League Baseball and the NFL. I will say that i was glad to see Roenick speaking his mind about the state of the game, maybe get a deal done...then can Bettman and company! As i read on a message board somewhere...

Nevermind Bob Goodenow just get rid of the idiot who put hockey in Carolina and so on...Get rid of the idiot who locked out the players...Get rid of the idiot who orchestrated this entire mess and now claims he has the only possible solution... The key to this puzzle?
Idiot = Bettman

I went to the Michelin Tire Plant yesterday in Waterville, well i have figured what the hell! None of the other jobs i have applied for are panning out and Michelin pays between a good fifteen to twenty dollars an hour, now i do know that the hours there are long and hard, you can be put on a twelve hour shift for like four days straight followed by three days off. Why am i interested all of a sudden? Well i need to pay back me student loan which has been bolstered a tiny bit by the arrival at the end of last week by another $2500.00 check from the government, but that is not enough to help pay back what adds up to a good $72,000 from all those years of university (Note: Thanks to four of these checks i have recived over the last three years, i owe roughly about $62,000 now, but that is still pretty stiff.) Anyways with the rate of pay that Michelin gives at the plant, it is hard to pass it up, so today i shall sit down and fill out their application to the best of my ability, hand it into the front gate and then hope for the best, or worse, but still the best. Hopefully a plan will come together of working there for a year, paying off as much student loan debt as possible while living home in Middleton for a year and then trying to get into the education program at Acadia. Many tell me to apply elsewhere, but Acadia is where i have done my best schooling, statistic courses aside. It is like how Luc Robitaille only plays good hockey for the LA Kings, but plays like crap everwhere else he has ever laced up his skates. Hulk Hogan wrestled the other night, maybe he can stay awhile, take on Ric Flair on PPV and the WWF can title the encounter "Age In The Cage!"
Dad went to the Annual Acadia Axemen Celebrity Dinner last night and he told me this morning when he got back that it was a good time and was puzzled as to why i always made fun of Wheelock Hall! Actually Wheelock always came through for the big dinners like Christmas, but most of the criticism comes from rotating the same food menus over and over again. Anyone for Tator-Tot Casserole? No?

TATOR TOT CASSEROLE
1 medium onion, chopped
2 Tablespoons oil
1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (10 ¾ ounce) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can of water1 pkg. frozen Tator Tots
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
Saute onion in oil. Add ground beef and brown. Stir in seasonings, and soup.Pour into greased casserole. Cover top with Tator Tots. Bake at 350 º for 35 minutes.Sprinkle grated cheese over Tater Tots and bake 10 minutes.
Anyways i am off to have a shower, eat lunch and then fill out the Michelin thingy. Have a good one ol webslingeroos!!!
