Why Don't You Like Me
I went to a Hitmen game last night, and I was sitting in front of a bunch of 10-12 year olds when I realized something. Well, it's not a new realization, but at the game it was more obvious. It was a pretty tame game, but in the third period the Medicine Hat Tigers scored twice and the Hitmen became more desperate. Fights were just under the surface, waiting to erupt. When a fight did occur, people shouted louder than when someone scored (there were a lot of Tiger's fans). It was just like the ancient Romans in their stadiums watching gladiators fighting to the death. We get more satisfaction from a fight than fair play. For all our talk of saying we've become more civilized than those ancient cultures, we're no better; perhaps worse, since we should be. It's sad, really.
I Am Complete
I think I had the worst week ever. I was out of work with the flu for 3 days, my computer crashed and had to have it's hard drive replaced (which took a week), I had my phone lifted from my pocket while on a crowded bus. Oy! So, today, I got my computer back, and it feels so strange. It has none of my special touches. And I can't stop these pop-ups. I miss pop-up blockers!
Oh, and my bus doesn't run tomorrow, so I have to take a cab. Oy.
Well, I'm tired of pop-ups....
Dream Police Come to Me In My Bed
Oy. This machine makes me so frustrated. It continually locks up for no apparent reason. Makes me want to throw it across the room. I don't know what frustrates me more. The fact it's acting like a piece of junk, or how dependant I feel of it.
In other news, I checked out a new church today. It's about a 3 minute bus ride from my house - probably within walking distance if it weren't for the lack of sidewalk on an extreme hill. I really enjoyed it, and perhaps will get more committed in the next few months.
I also am starting a new job on Monday in the NE. I really hope to get a car soon as getting up so early every morning and having evening commitments will really burn me out.
I can't think of anything else that's new with me.
