i lost it. its pretty obvious that i'm not the most athletic person in the world. i mean i love sports, but was never really too good at playing them. it happens. but one thing, one thing that i always excelled at, was running from the police. when andrew southard has to run, he runs. how i fucked up tonight? i don't know. haven't had to run in a while, its usually a good thing if you see cops in brooklyn.

Ah thanksgiving is coming up! In like a couple days. And then winter break?? For some strange reason I thought I only had like 2 weeks for winter break. turns out, dec. 11th-jan 26th. thats like a good month and a half. thats like a baby summer right there. totally caught me off guard. what am i gonna do with myself? well theres a bunch of options. the most boring of them would be to work more hours. fuck that. who knows. i'll be checking out as many wp hockey games as i can i'll tell you that. i miss those games, how much fucking fun was that. the game against rye. the playoffs. fucking suffern. stonewall jackson. good times. and am i reading now that we're in League 1 this year, nice. i'll be there in full support.

as much as say anything has become one of my favorite bands, it will still and probably forever be in this order. 3. Say Anything, 2. Green Day, and number 1, my all time favorite band, Blink-182. thats no secret to anyone. so when i read on himynameismark.com, mark hoppus' blog and a huge influence to my own "blog" or whatever LIAH is, when i read this, and he says how him tom and travis are talking again, and the mere mention of a blink-182 reunion, wow. i remember liek it was yesterday, reading the rumors that blink possibly broke up. i guess that was four years ago. what a start for high school. then the dark dark day in the history of my life. blink-182 is going on an "indefinite hiatus". sat at my computer, cried my eyes out. i didn't believe it. well, it happened. fuck man. anyway, this is huge news. this means that there is an off-chance, that maybe, just maybe, i can get my blink-182 show. this has been an interesting year at best. huge transitions and whatnot. brett favre, brooklyn, and now maybe i get the greatest gift of all. lets cross our fingers.

everyone has heroes. people they look up to. theses heroes are more than men. they're gods. Brett Favre is my hero. he played 16 years in Green Bay and established himself as possibly the greatest quarterback in the history of the game. at least solidly in the top 4 with dan marino, johnny unitas, and joe montana that can't be argued. but then, he came to the New York Jets. the "second" team in new york. one of the most punished franchises by the football gods. we had one super bowl forty years ago, but sadly the rest has been heartache. severe heartache. i tell this story constantly, but never have i ever been affected by a loss from one of my teams than when the jets lost to the steelers in the second round of the playoffs, losing the chance to go to the afc championship game. i love them with all my heart, and i always will. but finally, we're given hope. being talked about becoming a legitimate contender, and not just in the afc east. we're number one in the afc east, for now that is. 7-3 is a good record. but lets see where this can go. lets see if my prayers can finally be answered. i havent had a championship team in a long time. i was 9 when the yankees won in 2000. that was half of my lifetime ago. i'm ready for it. i've been craving it like nothing else. and a man, no a god, named Brett Favre is making the road to the greatest day of my life slightly more possible.

i live and breathe the new york islanders. everyone knows that. they're my team, there is just no other way of explaining it. so a rebuilding year is tough. especially one without our starting goaltender healthy. but hey, i can be patient. and its still early anything can happen. i've loved the yankees my whole life. i was 5 or 6 when i went to my first yankee game and i remember it. being that my father and my brother are both red sox fans, it was tough being a yankees fan growing up, but like i said, they're my team. now on to the point of this liah. the new york jets. being a jets fan was probably the toughest life choice out of all three of those. the grief they have caused me, unimaginable. i'm pretty sure everyone knows my story about when they lost to the steelers and i was in tears in some random bar in philadelphia. they had two chances to go to the afc championship game, and they blew it. one of the most difficult things i've ever had to deal with. and how about last year. a new york football team, won the fucking super bowl, but yet my team went 4-12. the football gods have not been kind to the jets. and there is nothing like football. hockey is definitely my favorite sport, but football is something all its own. its dramatic. one day out of the week, and if you win you're that much closer to immortality. you lose, you're a step back. so finally, after the years of despair, the football gods delivered us one of their own, Brett Favre. you look up man in the dictionary and there is a picture of Brett Favre. arguably the best quarterback to ever play the game. given to MY jets. oh like it was yesterday, we were chillin at the death star. there was a bunch of random people there who i didn't really like. it was kind of an awkward setting. i dunno, something about it i'm pretty sure it was one of those parties where i was on the deck smoking cigarettes most of the time. i'm almost positive it was gelston who delivered the news, Brett Favre is a Jet. everything stopped for a second. for a moment there, pure ecstasy. i went home, watched sportscenter for a good 2 hours. one of the commentators, steve young, i remember him saying something alone the lines of, "right now, i'm just really happy for jets fans. they deserve this." thanks steve, thank you. well now we're just over the halfway point of the season. 5-3. just beat a division rival. i know this is probably only a one season deal with brett. i don't want to think about next season. i don't care. i just care about right now. lets make history.

well, i've been saying this since the inevitable happened, i just really hope i was wrong about everything. there's nothing i would love to see than to be dead wrong about all of it. but life goes on. haven't really worked much this week, it's been nice. got work today for a change, and i get paid today too. its good to finally have money. bunch of good movies out there now. i saw zack and miri make a porno, that was funny. seth rogen and kevin smith was a good mix. rocknrolla is out i really want to see that, guy ritchie's new movie. role models looks funny too. and quantum of solace the new bond film comes out next week! ah, so much to see. james bond is like one of the ultimate characters in film history. such a badass. and if you ask me daniel craig is the perfect fucking bond. they couldn't have done any better.
