World Cup!

Posted on by kylar

Ok a dream from last night! I was playing in the World Cup! Except that it wasn’t soccer, it was roller hockey, being played in some school gymnasium with a wood floor, and all the stuff was decrepit – the nets had to be duct taped together and to the floor so they wouldn’t fall over. The other team was Italy, by the way, and the refs were horrible. In the first two minutes, I had two goals, the first one was so fast that it hit the back of the net and ricochetd out and the ref didn’t even see it. The second one was so hard that it went through a hole in the back of the net and the ref missed it too! finally I got a goal – then another. then my teammate had a goal that went under the net and didn’t get caught. Then a teammate scored, and another. then I got m third goal, and realized we were up 5-0 in the first few minutes of the game. Realizing that it was a blowout, I voluntarily took myself out of the game so Italy wouldn’t look really horrible on the world stage.

I KNOW! It would have been really mean and bad for Canada-Italy relations if I had stayed in the game… I would have ended up winning the ‘Golden Puck’ award and humiliating Italy…. then what would Canada do when they needed to import some fusilli? Geez.

Plus I probably got a kickback from the UN.

Beard Competition.

Posted on by kylar

Some people have noticed that I am growing quite a hefty beard. Here is why:

First of all, I apologize for my tardiness. Please find attached the official rules for the beard growing contest along with judgement days, etc.

THE RULES:

1. The commencement of the beard growing started/starts on May 15/06. The reason for the hold up is my lack of attention to the importance of this contest. I now see the necessity for my utmost attention from this point on. With this in mind any beard growing that began prior to May 15th will be accepted.

2. Trimming is allowed. A beard is itchy, so please trim as you find necessary. Make sure you are simply trimming, see rule #7.

3. The judging will take place on August 3rd, 2006 at the rehearsal dinner.

4. Dyeing of the beard area is accepted and supported.

5. The actual judging will be done on the following three categories and a fourth overall champion category.

I) Length (from the chin, three spots with an overall average. This will
be measured in inches, centimeters for Jeff)

II) Fullness (As I do not have a beard my father will be judging this
one based on 30 years of experience)

III) Originality (This will be based on a little effort in to the beard, like a
little color, braids or lightning bolts etc.)

IV) Overall Winner (This is like the overall champion at the dog shows
enough said)

6. Judges can be bribed, my dad likes a good 12 year old and up single malt Scotch. I myself am a beer man, so please anything import, Guinness is always nice.

7. If you choose to shave your beard prior to August 3rd and then try growing it again you may do so, but you will feel the ramifications come judgement day.

8. On the day of the judging, spectators may make a donation to the Fallen Member Fund via myself or Trish once the judging is done to have a contestant shave off their beard prior to the wedding. We will ask for a minimum $10 donation.

9. We will also be pepper spraying anyone who wishes to try it out.

10. The main thing is to have fun, a beard is a good thing, and remember, not all men with beards are scary, unless you drive a panel van!!!

11. Any ties will be decided by an old fashioned paper – rock – scissor game, best 2 of 3. Participants to draw on three – so, for those of you who took 13 years to get out of school, that is one, two, three – draw.

*Prizes will be provided for each category*

If you have any questions regarding the above rules you can email me. I thank you for your patience and remind each and every one of you, stay safe – and try not to get discouraged as you watch Vince’s beard blossom in the warm June/July weather. PEACE!

Take care

PS: Two months to the judgement day!!! and the contest as well.

This week.

Posted on by kylar

Some weeks seem to fly by, and some drag. This is one where it feels like today should be saturday. I have that otherworldly feeling like I’m at work on a weekend and time is dragging by.

Saturday I played hockey, and had quite a game.. scored the only goal, got ejected (along with 3 others), our team totaled 4 ejections, 3 misconduct penalties and a suspension, over 40 penalty minutes, and it all happened with 4 seconds left.

== LATER ==
I started writing this a couple days ago and it’s been sitting open in my browser… and it’s driving me nuts. Every day is dragging and dragging.

Gaak!

Surreality

Posted on by kylar

So if someone is delusional or something, do they spend their lives wandering through surreality? is that a word? Damn, I hope so.

Anyways, I had two really surreal experiences this weekend:

About 3 weeks ago I had gone in with Kelly and the fam to get our Passports, but we couldn’t find my birth cert, proving once again, that I was a man without a country. So they put my application on hold. Anyways, while moving stuff around this weekend, we found it, and I went in on monday to get mine finished. Afterwards, I was leaving the office and I was struck by a really spacey feeling, and a voice in the back of my head, saying something like this:

“Why do you need a PASSPORT? That’s for GROWN-UPS! You’re never going anywhere! And if you do, your PARENTS will take you! You’re acting awfully GROWN UP! You’re just a KID! And you’re acting like an ADULT! In about 2 minutes all those adults are going to point at you and someone is going to get you in TROUBLE! You better get on your bike and ride home!”

And the second time was just this morning – I was walking over to Caffe Mac for lunch, and as I came out of IL6 into the quad, I was suddenly struck by ‘fan-boy’ type moment.. like “OMG! This is Apple! And you’re walking around! Where the Mac comes from! Someone’s going to catch you, and you’re gonna get in TROUBLE!”

Then I realized that I *actually* worked there.

Just to add to the whole surrealness of that ‘fan-boy’ moment, the building you walked through, IL6 is where most of the Mac hardware guys work. So maybe you were picking up on some sort of “this is where a Mac begins its life,” vibe in that building.
