Good morning all and Happy Friday!
Julia spent the night last night and we just had a blast. What a good little girl she is. I picked her up from school, fed her (we had cheeseburgers), colored and worked on some letters, and took a long kickass bath. The water was so warm and I brought the laptop in there and we were jamming out to the Beatles, great fun. The Silly House was rockin' and I think she now knows the words to 'Ticket To Ride' :) She DID come to sleep with me about 3am, and I didn't get much sleep after that, but hey, that's life with a precious child. I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING. She woke up so pleasant, declared she was hungry and thirsty, and downstairs we went. I got her dressed, played a little bit, she ate all her cereal, and off to school we went. That kid loves me so much it is sick. And I love her right back. I'll miss her this weekend. "Daddy, I miss you when you're not around." :(
Let's see, what else is going on. Eric Lindros has his official press conference announcing his retirement yesterday. What a classy guy this is, he donated 5 million dollars to the London Ontario Health Services Foundation, for all the work they did for him (and on him) over the years. He teared up a bit which is to be expected from such an emotional player. I'll never forget when he won the MVP award in 95. He goes up to the podium and you can tell his eyes are tearing up, and he told the fans of Philadelphia to 'have faith, because we're gonna do it." I'll never forget it because I had tears in my eyes right along with him. Well, lol, we never did do it with Lindros at the helm, but my God, what an exciting player he was. He was probably the most fascinating player (in and out of the rink, with all the bullshit) in the last 25 years in Philadelphia. I wish him ALL the best and good health, because he'll always be one of my favorite players of all time, and I think, truly deep down, he is a very good person as well. Thanks for the memories Eric, you were one of the best!
Speaking of the Bums, kicked the shit out of the Penguins on Tuesday but played like complete dogshit in Jersey last night. Thank God this road trip is over. 3-5. Not too good. But hey, it's over. Pittsburgh and that bitch Cindy Crosby come to our house of pain on Saturday. Should be a good one. And yeah, uh, let's go Eagles, big game this weekend against the hated Redskins. Come on! Show me SOMEthing! Anything! Oh boy, I just thought about that bitch and her husband who I almost got into a fight with the last time. Well, that will be interesting!
I have heard rumors that Bob Seger is planning a 2008 tour. THAT will be a must-go-to, no questions asked. I'll fucking WALK to get there. Or maybe run, like Forrest did when they are playing "Against The Wind". Oooo, maybe I'll take him in in Detroit or LA! :)
Oh! Soooooo I met this fine young lady named Angelina :) 5'10", 34, blonde, voluptuous, just total yum! It really seems like she has her act together, cardiac care nurse. I THINK we're going to try to get together this weekend for lunch, nothing great, very casual. I already told her my weakness of tall (any) girls in kneehigh boots, so we shall see if she follows suit :)
And speaking of boots, I spoke with Cameron last night. I'll tell ya, THIS is going to be good. We spoke for about 15 minutes just bullshitting and talking about all different kinds of shit, her modeling gigs, what she likes, etc. Size 10 feet mind you, which is perfect! So, to make a long story short, her and I are going to hook up "next week" and this gal is going to come over and we'll have some fun with color :) I told her about all the stuff I have and she's ALL into it and wants to do it very soon, and for that I am STOKED! She's quite delicious, and I have been wanting to do this for a LONGGGGG time, so GO ME! :)
Weekend plans? I'm leaving everything totally open. Perhaps lunch with Angelina on Saturday, Tina mentioned something about hanging out tonight, perhaps I'll hook up with Lori and Mary for some Saturday night fun or for the Penn State game. My friend John and I might go see a band tomorrow night, who knows. Keeping everything open!
I wish a pleasant weekend to all of my internet friends! :) And yes, Amy, I returned your email! :)
Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love? Cause love's such an old fashioned word and love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night and love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves. This is our last dance. This is our last dance. This is ourselves. Under pressure.
