So, I've been away for a bit...

Sheesh. Get up off me about it. See, the thing of it is, to me, there really is no reason to write a blog if there is nothing interesting or new or unusual to report. Am I right? Am. I. Right?

Of course I am. This is my blog. And here's my latest entry.

First of all, we played our 4th game last night. And we didn't lose. We didn't win, either, but hey, we'll take a point for a tie. We notched a few other firsts along the way, too. We had our first 2 goal lead as well as our first 3 goal lead. We held our opponent scoreless for an entire period for the first time. They didn't score until 13 minutes into the second period. But, things got a little crazy after that, so we also blew our first 3 goal lead. They pulled their goalie and scored with just 14 seconds left. We were ahead the entire game before that. It was sad. But, there was almost nothing I could have done about it, so I don't feel bad. And hey, we didn't lose! Oh, and our new jerseys came in last week, so we got to play in them for the first time. We look goooood. You know what I always say: if you can't do it with skill, fake it with style.

Moving on. I'm giving mad points to "Death of a President". My coworker Josh and I saw it tonight and it was really, really good. They set it up as a documentary of the actions leading up to and then subsequent to the assasination of George W. Bush on October 19, 2007. They really sold it all the way through, too. There were a couple issues that, had they been corrected, would have catapulted the film to Masterpiece. But, as it stands, it's really quite good. The thing is, like the commercials and press have said, do not rush to judge. The thing of it is, if they had used a fake president or even a fake country, it would have lost it's power. What's beautiful about it is that doesn't address whether Bush deserved it or not (because he doesn't. No one does. He's a horrible president and a pretty big idiot, but no one deserves to be assasinated), but simply speaks to what would happen within the government and the media if it actually DID happen. And it's staggering. Anyway, I understand that a lot of theatres in the States aren't showing it, and I've even heard people say it has been banned. But if it does play near where you live, go see it. You won't be sorry. And you'll have something to talk about for at least the next hour. If not days. It's very thought provoking and powerful. I guess that's all I can say about it.

That's my that.
