Scrappy McScrapperson..

I finally took the high road.

So yesterday I had hockey again and once again we lost. We are now on a 4 game losing streak and are poised to be in last place come the end of the season...I guess it's a good thing everyone makes the playoffs.

We were in a 1-0 dog fight for most of the game, and within the last minute and a half we pulled the goalie and I jumped out onto the ice. We had some pretty good pressure going but just couldn't seem to capitalize. With only seconds left on the clock I took the puck off of a rebound and put it back on net, the goalie saved it and I then proceeded to my right (his left)...well apparently some clown thought I was going to run his goalie and decided to put his stick between my legs and attempted to give me a can-opener. I knew what he was doing and sold it a bit by pretending I was off balance and giving him an elbow to the head. Next thing I know I have this guy holding on to my jersey by the neck. I didn't touch him or argue with him because there was still time on the clock and a penalty would only hurt us...anyways I ask him "What are you doing?" And he's like "I'll rip your helmet off and fucking kill you", the ref is there between us at this point and is telling us to break it up. Yet, this tooth-less piece of work is still running his mouth despite no resistance coming from me. Finally the ref convinces him that he's acting like a shmuck, especially considering the fact that he's trying to take on a guy that's probably at least 75lb's lighter than himself. We skate away to our benches and the entire time he's still chirping me with his death threats.

On the drive home a few things crossed my mind. 1) If it was just me and him one on one how badly would I actually lose. 2) Why someone at a work recreational hockey game would actually drop a line like "I'll fucking kill you". This person didn't know me, didn't know where in the company I worked. Like what if I was up this guy's food chain at work, how awesome would that be for me? I'd be trying to find any reason whatsoever to can his ass. Maybe that's a bit off of the deep end, but I hold grudge's pretty good. Anyways, today is a new day and I'm over it.

Even though the guy above was bad, the next fellow definitely takes the douche bag award home for the day.

I came across this story this morning.

In a nutshell though, someone decided that his cat was acting a bit too rowdy, so he put the cat inside of this home made bong. People like this honestly make me sick. It's one thing if you are going to smoke marijuana yourself out of some home made bong that has so much duct tape on it that you are putting Red Green to shame. But to trap a defense-less cat inside is beyond cruel. I hope that the law comes down on this guy hard, however because the cat doesn't have any actual damage or effects other than being sleepy chances are that it won't happen. Eitherway I'm glad to read that the cat is going to be okay, and will likely go to a home that won't torture it as if it's being interrogated by the CIA (a story for a different day, but you can read about it HERE).

Please, if you are going to take in a pet, treat it as it's a member of your family.

Cheers.
