Who's a better hockey player

2008-10-30T23:40:00.002-05:00

Wayne gretzky is the top scoring leader assists leader and overall points leader ever... mario lemieux is also pretty high up there... but which one is better? this should curve your opinion...

2008-10-13T21:41:00.002-05:00

Today instead of getting a ride home from kenny, i decided to walk up to Beverly Road.. Normally this means sitting outside and smoking cigaretts, but today i realized that i had a bunch of homework to do. So i pulled out the ol' books and started reading my english book, Cat's Cradle... Its a pretty good read for high school english. In ended up sitting there for an hour and a half. That was more homework than i've worked on for a long time. I have a bad english grade so it was important that i did this reading... All in all, i've found a good place for me to study, and its outside the coffee tree. Well thats it for this post, say hi to your mother for me

Matt Cooke

2008-10-12T21:50:00.002-05:00

Alright, now that i've blogged about music about a billion times, im gonna change to my second favorite thing... Hockey... and not just any kind of hockey, Penguins Hockey.

Its the start of a new season, the pens are 1-1-1, not quite the start that i've been hoping for but it'll be alright. This offseason has been one of the most active in quite a while, we resigned Malkin, lost malone, laraque, ruutu, and hossa.. But we also picked up Satan, Fedotenko, and this other guy named Matt Cooke.. I actually really like this pickup, he's a lot like ruutu, he's got grit with a mix of scoring touch... He's a Vancouver Canuks fan favorite and will quickly become a Pittsburgh Penguin fan favorite. Here's his highlites from Vancouver.

Alrigh... i couldn't resist though

Update

2008-05-12T22:28:00.004-05:00

Hey guys, this blog is really an update on my life as of right now. Lately i've been pretty depressed, not sure why, but through prayer and meditation, im searching my soul. If my mood doesn't seem up to par, its because of my un-sure-ed-ness (is that a word) of my future. Theres so many career choices out there. SO STRESSFUL. I know God has a great plan for me, but how do i fulfill his future goals for me? How am i supposed to know what to do? These questions haunt me at night when im supposed to be sleeping, and at school when im supposed to be working. My piano playing is actually improving (i think), but im not sure what my future with piano holds. I feel like piano/keyboard is all im good at, i know im wrong, but thats all i want to do. Im still writing that song entitled "my prayer", but my perfectionism and idiocy is whats keeping me from finalizing it. I keep writing lyrics, then throwing them away because they're "too cheezy" or not "rhythmically accurate". But other than that, my life hasn't been going that bad, i just got my drivers license today and im really excited about that. I guess in summation, my life has been normal, happy, sad, confused, cloudy, and needing of some good, solid rest.

Ok, i found this guy on Youtube, he's one of the many youtubers to "make it" in the music world. I think his style is very unique, but i love it. His voice is awesome, reminds me of sort of the guy from maroon 5, and justin timberlake. I wasn't sure which video to post so i'll give you a link to his youtube page and i'll also just put this video up for ya'll.

So i just returned from jtown. It was probably the best jtown for me spiritually. The band was really good, the speaker wasn't bad, and i really think we bonded really well with each other. Football was really fun this year. One thing i remember, is when we locked dylan outside when he had just his shorts on and socks. It was really funny, we asked him to go to the girls cabin, he was too chicken, so i put some shorts on and we both went to the girls cabin shirtless and asked for shirts. It turned out to be pretty fun.

I'm sorry about this, i know this is my second post about music in a row, but music is really a big link to God, secular or not. This is Paul Carrack, in my opinion, he's one of the best keyboard players/songwriters of all time. He's truely an inspiration to me.

Running (dying to live)

2007-11-08T00:01:00.000-05:00

Warning: Profanity

This song was mixed after both biggie and tupac died.
It really has a good meaning.
The particular singer really has some good points that i think people (especially gangsters) should listen to.

"You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead...
Why am I fighting to live
If I'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see
When there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give
When no one gives me a try?
Why am I diying to live
If I'm just living to die?"

Please

Please pray for me, im trying to do something difficult. I'll probably fill you in later.

Pivotal Point In my Life

2007-09-09T22:28:00.000-05:00

Well yesterday at work around 4 o'clock, i had been doing the usual. I was sitting out behind the shop, smoking... It was my 7th cigarette of the day. I was fine until one of my good friends, Meho, said, "It kills me to see you throw your life away," i was somewhat flabergasted... I thought to myself, i'm not throwing my life away, whats he talking about. "Its really hard to see someone your age smoking and pretty much trying to be a smoker" he continued. "I'm no saint, but if i could go back 20 years ago and never start smoking, i probably wouldn't be working here. I started thinking more, he was right, smoking really is stupid, and no matter how good the buzz, it will just leave you wanting more, and thats how an addiction starts.

By yesterday I was fully blown addicted to tobacco. At the beginning of the summer, i bought a tin of Chew, to celebrate the end of the school year. I know some of my friends knew what flavor it was, so i would continue to buy that flavor, to cover up the fact that i chewed. On the outside, i thought people who chewed were hard, and inwardly, i wanted to be hard. After the Dominican Republic, I started smoking cause it was quicker and easier than chewing. Once the week of surf city rolled around, i had been smoking a little less than a pack a day. I was at the lowest of lows. My addiction to tobacco kept me away from jesus.

Yesterday, i decided to end it all. I decided that jesus, and the realationships that i have with my friends, are more important than anything. Even trying to fit in with the croud. I had always though that the kids who smoked looke cool. And i wanted to be like that. I ended it all yesterday. I got in a feuded argument with one of my mentors about something that i couldn't admit was a problem. At that point, i really just wanted a cigarette, and i feel really stupid for even getting in that argument.

The next month will be incredibally difficult for many reasons. I picked a bad time to quit smoking, School is getting into full swing and thats what i need to focus on. But the only thing that i will be able to focus on is smoking. My withdrawal will be intense, and hard, and i won't get very much sleep. Luckily, i have awesome friends who love me and will help me get through this. The # 1 thing that i need to focus on through all this is Jesus. He will have made me go through this for a reason. I think its to help me become a leader. Please don't feel offended in any way if i am mean to you through this next month or so. Right now i have a huge headache, and i will tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day.

Tears In Heaven

2007-08-12T12:35:00.000-05:00

I've decided to revamp my blog. I'm gonna try to be a little more spiritual in my blogging about my fealings n'at. But i named my blog "Tears in Heaven" which is a song by Eric Clapton. This song touches my heart for many reasons. Lyrically, the song is incredible, Eric Clapton wrote it as a ballad about the pain he felt when his 4 year-old son died. Knowing that makes me want to cry because no one deserves to lose a young child. One of the most powerful things that i learned is that around 2004, Clapton stopped performing the song live because he's gotten over it, and every time he sings it, emotions are brought back which are too strong to bear.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

(instrumental)

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Pittsburgh Rap on the Rise

2007-08-08T00:34:00.000-05:00

Last week on facebook, I went to groups and just looked up "Pittsburgh Rap" one of the groups that I found was entitled "Support Wiz Khalifa - Put Pittsburgh on the hip-hop map!" so I clicked on the link and I saw that Wiz Khalifa is obviously a rapper from Pittsburgh. One thing that i noticed about this kid is that he's 18 and has gold records on his wall. With this kind of thing, you cant just take my word for the fact that he's good. So just watch this video of his song called "Pittsburgh Sound" its real good.

Tupac Shakur

2007-07-11T13:56:00.000-05:00

I recently watched the movie Tupac - Ressurection. This was basically a video biography of Tupac. This movie opened my eyes to what Tupac was all about. Most of the people who listen to his music would think he's just a thug gangsta rapper who doesn't give a F***. Tupac wasn't only a rap artist. He was in a way a philosipher. He had his own philosophy on life called
"Thug Life". He declared that the dictionary definition for "thug" as being a criminal was not how
he used the word. His definition of "thug" was someone who came from oppressive background and had little oppertunity but still made a life for themselves and were ultimately proud. This was an awesome movie and Iwould reccomend it for even non rap fans. This movie gave me a whole new respect for Tupac.

Transformers

2007-07-06T10:47:00.000-05:00

Transformers was a big suprise for me. Going into the movie i thought it would be kinda fun like TMNT. But it was actually one of if not the best movie i have ever seen. FOR REAL. Shia LaBouf did a very good job. This film had everything i want in any movie, great comedy, great action, and of course, very hot girls. The storyline was awesome as well. All in all, i give it 5 out of 5.

Big Stuf 07

2007-06-24T10:49:00.000-05:00

Wow Big Stuf was amazing. So good. The worship was good. The Talks were real. and I got a lot out of it. Not very much for me to say about it.

School

2007-06-05T16:50:00.000-05:00

Well, school's almost over. Only 5 days left. We still have finals but it really sucks how late in the school year they are. Its right when everyone want's to be done. Finals really are the worst. I don't really feel like working or anything, i feel like sleeping. Just, i'm ready for school to be over.

Steelers Draft Reflections

2007-05-16T20:55:00.000-05:00

1st round. The steelers took Lawrence Timmons, he ran something like a 4.3 and that is very fast for a linebacker. He probably won't be used like joey porter because he's not that big. He's more of a cover linebacker.
2nd round. Lamarr woodley. Origionally listed as a DE, woodley has switched to linebacker in camp. I think this will be good because he's a very large man and will fill porters vacancy.
I found this draft as a little of a stretch because we drafted 2 lbs and a punter. But eh. I think in a few years, these guys will be good.

The Presige

2007-04-10T15:13:00.000-05:00

This past week i saw the movie The Prestige. I didn't like this movie too much, the plot was just unentertaining to me. The all around plot line was what killed it.The brightest spot of this movie was Scarlett Johansson. Man, she's good looking. All in all, if you would like to wast 2 hours and 10 minutes of your life, then go ahead and watch it.

Blades of Glory

2007-04-08T12:36:00.000-05:00

I went to see this movie last night. Not much to say about it. It's just real funny. I recommend it.

TMNT

2007-03-25T20:28:00.000-05:00

TMNT was the best movie i have seen in a long while. (i didn't see 300 though, i heard it was sick) TMNT had a lot of the things you would like to see in a teenage mutant ninja turtle movie. It had plot, comedy, and action. The real plot was behind Raphael's struggle handeling authority with Leonardo, and controlling his anger. My favorite scene in the entire movie was when Leonardo and Nightstalker/Raphael fight. I believe that that was the turning point for Raphael. The movie was nice and short leaving us hanging for the next movie to come out. My favorite character; Mighelangelo was portrayed as an idiot skater, and i didn't like that portrayal of him. "Michelangelo is a party dude" but not an idiot. All in all, I believe that this film did the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles justice and I'm pumped for TMNT II.

PS. those pictures are really posters and i plan on buying every one of them

Steelers NFL Draft 2007

2007-03-08T19:35:00.000-05:00

I know that Eric already posted about this, but i believe that I have some different views on our team. One major problem for the steelers last year was that Ben Roethlisberger had a lot of trouble getting comfortable in the pocket. This is due to our tackles. Our tackles are oversized guards. They cant frickin pass block. Ben Roethlisberger had someone in his face for most of the game. Which brings up the point of what tackle we should draft. The two best tackels, Levi Brown and Joe Thomas will probably already be taken by the Dolphins and the Lions. I believe that the Steelers can keep their 1st round pick and trade up after that for an early second or late first pick and try to snagg Arron Sears from Tennessee. Not the ideal size at 6-4 317, but he is a pure pass blocker. I really believe this guy could genuinely help the steelers rid of guys like Adalius Thomas and the big nasty dudes from baltimore (who still in my mind are our only competition). Which brings me to my second point. What should we do with our 15th overall pick? I think the answer is simple. The best linebacker in the nation. His name is Paul Posluszny. This guy is the whole package. At 6-3 238, his size is no issue. He's also fast like a joey porter. Many see him falling to teams possibly like the Saints because not many other teams simply need him. Just ask Steve Kokan how good he is. If we don't trade our second round pick up for Arron Sears, I think we should try to look at who we lost in this offseason. One major loss was the probowl center, Jeff Hartings. I didn't see much from Chukky Okobi this year in his 5th year in the NFL. I think someone like Ryan Kalil would be good. He's from USC so he might need to try to adjust to the cold weather. Also, if we don't look in that direction, we should look at a defensive end. This choice obviously depends on whether Mike Tomlin wants to keep the 3-4, or go into his renound Cover 2 scheme. Someone like Ray McDonald would be good, because he has played end and tackle, so he can stop the run and also get some pressure on the QB. For the third round, I would like the Steelers to think about their receivers and see if theyre happy with Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes, and 3 other mediocre/returning WR. And remember folks, Hines Ward turned 31 today (3/8/07) and though hes tough, he takes a beating every time he goes onto the field. He wont stick around forever. But i'm a personal believer in Nate Washington. So moving on. I think maybie a CB, but i think Bryant McFadden and Ike Taylor could elinimate some of they're metal mistakes and then would become good, if not great. Thats what i think about the draft, i hope i didn't go too in depth for you guys.

Hot metal

2007-03-04T20:24:00.000-05:00

Today i had an excellent oppertunity to go the the Hot Metal church. If you don't already know, Hot Metal is a contemporary presbyterian church on the south side. First off, this was one of the most diverse goup of people i've seen. From
big black men to emo people, it was awesome It was an amazing experience,
everyone was really into the worship, and the skit was really compelling, and i never
looked at the story about Peter and John that way before. Afterwards, there
was a free lunch which was awesome. All in all, if you want to try a different
worship experience, i would recomend this place.

44 wings is 1 different than the previous record. I was told to blog about this accomplishment. So i did. I got a WWE belt for my accomplishment. I was told to take a picture of me and the belt but i figure that everyone that reads my blog will be at youth group tomorrow, and also, i cant find my camera. Well all i know is that i am the eating champion in all contests in mlupc. Still in my prime, i'm on my way to break my own records.

Gridiron Gang

2007-02-19T21:29:00.000-05:00

I recently rented a movie called gridiron gang and i personally really liked it. Since the movie "Scorpion king, i havn't really wanted to see another movie with the rock in it. But the rock did a real good job. This isn't really a football movie in the sense of that its more about building character through football. I'd give it 3.5/5 because it was just lacking some things. But all in all, good movie.

life update

2007-02-01T19:17:00.000-05:00

Lately i've been very busy with mostly football and work.
Work is very hard in the sense that it is actually a skill and
i'm not too good at it yet.
Football is obviously hard as well because of how physically
demanding it is, but it's good for me and i need it.
School is getting better, doing more of my homework and my
grades are improving.

2007-01-15T20:16:00.000-05:00

Last monday, i wasn't doing anything. I didn't play any sports and i had no income. On wednesday i went to the football coach and told him that i wan't to play. He said i would start the next day. I was a little suprised, but its ok. I lifted on thursday and friday. Today, i went to little nippers and asked for a job. They hired me up front and i worked from 10:30 this morning until 7:00 tonight. It was a difficult day. I prepared the dough for pizza and bread sticks. I also cleaned and helped stock. One good thing is that i already will get a pretty good pay check. I also get free food whenever i'm hungary. That tells you how much can change in a week.

Lately bored

2006-12-28T13:25:00.000-05:00

Well the break has been great. I've been doing a lot of nothing. I got my new keyboard and thats really sweet even though i don't have an amp to use it with. It doesn't have it's own speakers so i use headphones. I've also been playing a variety of video games such as Madden, Halo, Call of Duty, and X-men legends II. Thats fun. But all in all, i'm having a good time home alone. No worries.

My new perspective on rap

2006-12-23T12:31:00.000-05:00

Well, I've listening to a lot of different rap. I've been listening to mostly Will Smith and Blackalicious. I realize that there are a lot of very talented rapers who don't curse a lot in there raps. It also helps me not swear as much. All in all, theres good and bad rap. I still like people like Dre and Eminem, but i'm shying from them.

Does anyone actually read my blog?

I recently saw this movie. This is about the training of recruits in the Vietnam war. I found this movie to be pretty pointless. It just didn't have a point. I enjoyed some parts but overall, there was an excessive amout of language in this movie. I'm sure many people like this movie because at the bottom it says "The Best Film Of the Year" but if Bob can hate Santa, I can dislike a movie.

Testimony

2006-11-14T20:11:00.000-05:00

Well, I put a lot of thought into this testimony and I felt bad that I didn't have any crazy stories about how my dad beats me, or how I live with my aunt, or anything like that. But then i knew that I don't need a crazy testimony to have an effective testimony. I have been a christian forever. Basically, I became a true christian before i knew what it meant. I just thought i was supposed to, so i did. I've been going to summer camps since 2nd grade when i first went to Ligoneer. I liked Ligoneer and all the things about Ligoneer except for the strictness. I always got in trouble there. When i first went to Youth Group, i didn't like it because i didn't really have a youth pastor or any leaders that really stuck in there with us. I also didn't understand the humor and i thought they were making fun of me when they weren't. I was only a 6th grader and took everything literally. Matt Geiger became our youth pastor and i didn't like him. He didn't get to know any of the middle scholars. This irritated me. Matt Geiger didn't seem to like us or even care about us. All it seemed he cared about was the high scholars and playing Halo. I learned to not care about youth group. I didn't go to Surf City my first year because i didn't think Geiger liked me. Geiger eventually got fired, but that's a whole different story. Our youth group went through a bunch of different leaders, Karla Klokentager, John Pitcher, Darren DePaul, and Catherine Corey. I liked all of them, but i learned to not get close to any of them because they would just leave. We eventually got a Real youth pastor named Ben Kendrew. I didn't know what to think at the start because i thought he would just leave. After i got to know Ben, I found out that he was the real deal and that i could trust him. He started taking us on more than Just the fall Laurelvill, he took us to Seneca Hills and i thought that was a great trip. The best trip that Ben took us on was called Big Stuf. It was the most amazing thing that i had ever experienced or even imagined. During the Thursday night, God made it apparent to me that i should be in the ministry for the rest of my life. Big Stuf changed my life and formed me into who I will become. All in all, Ben Kendrew changed my life and i wouldn't be the person i am today without him.

Wow, i'm real excited for J-town. Last year was great and I hope this year is better. Hopefully the band is beter. I just opened a checking account with my mom at Fedelity Bank, it was fun. I'm getting an ATM card, but i'm not allowed to use it until i get the gist of what a checking account is all about.
