Quick and dirty

Here it comes, fast and simple:

The football team has gone on a tear and will be playing at BC Place stadium on December 2nd at 10:30am for the BC High School Football AA JV provincial title!! Important note: they are the defending champions, so getting back to the title game is a big deal... Coach P (head coach - 73 years old) said today that if you told him back in spring camp that we'd be getting ready this week for the championship game, he'd have told you you were dreaming! He then proceeded to tell us that he had declared to his wife that it'd be a short season this year and he'd have tons of extra time in November for her...well, we're still playing and don't finish til December 2!! Sorry Mrs. Coach P.. ; )

I have been incredibly blog averse these last couple months because I have adopted (or more accurately, renewed) a different internet habit that has taken up tremendous amounts of my browsing time. Now, I don't know if you're like me (maybe yes, maybe no), but I'm not a big internet guy for the most part. I think it's like talking on the phone: it has its good purposes, but I don't want to spend more time on it than I have to. So, I love reading others' blogs and enjoy the creative acts of writing and trying to make the blog look better...yet I found myself unable to sustain the creative efforts and maintain my desired standards (oooooooo so high :P ), leaving me no choice but to withdraw. A blogrecluse. A bloghermit. [cool looking word: bloghermit... could be pronounced so many ways... bah-log-her-mitt...bah-logger-mitt...bah-loffer-mitt...so fun]

The renewed habit is eBay. AAAAAARRRRGGGHGHHHH. I really don't like garage sales, but I think it's not because of the high ratio of crap to treasure... after two months of eBay, I realize I can wade through tons of crap and come out happy... it's because of the travel time associated with it. The internet (and eBay) have created a massive, worldwide garage sale that is on constantly and all you have to do is find your treasure! Awesome! So I'm out there searching for my treasure when I should be faithfully updating my blog. Sorry about that.

Now, I want to be clear that I'm not randomly searching for great deals of any kind out there in the e-world...I have goals. Nerdy goals. Geeky goals. But goals nonetheless! Not the goals of a football coach or a "cool" youth worker, just a dork. I'm looking for G.I. Joe comics. 'Nuff said.
