There probably aren't many, but for anyone that reads, I might need some prayer support over the next couple weeks.
I can't say anything about it now, but when it's all said and done, I'll explain everything to the best of my ability. With that being said, I may have a couple of tough choices to make that have down sides to both decisions. If you approach me about it individually, I'll be more than glad to explain my situation.
For now, that is all.

Run For Cover
I honestly feel very bad for the Oilers. This is even worse than that almost-record-breaking losing streak we had after losing Ryan Smyth in the 2006-2007 season. However, the result of that losing skid was Sam Gagner. So I do believe that even though we're just a little half over the season, and we're this bad, the result might be someone better than Sam Gagner. However, it is tough to admit that I am an Oilers fan now that our team has become the laughing stock.
Anyways, what happened to the first few weeks of January? It seems that time is going by way too fast; not that it ever goes by too slowly, but that's besides the point. I've noticed a few things over the last while when I've been at work. The first one is that the moment I start to do some clockwatching, it's like time decides realizes I'm looking at it and slows down so I could catch up to it; however it is completely on the contrary that I want it to go faster. Yeah, I know that's usually the way it goes, but hey, whatever passes the time. Another one, and this happened a while back, is that it's funny the extent to which someone will go to in order to get the attention of someone else. Let me put it in a short, short story.
Just as he is finishing up his shift, she has completed about half of hers. She decides to walk over to him and ask, "is this all you do? isn't it boring?" he responds by giving a bit of a shrug that says "it's all good". Then she'll see that it's safe to proceed to talk about herself and what she had to do for the rest of her shift. So it seems that the conversation is now dead, but when he starts walking to the staff room, they cross paths again. Although not literally because the paths are wide enough for two people to walk side by side, she decided to nudge him with her shoulder to plant a bomb. She smirks as she keeps walking farther away from him knowing that she's done her job. About a few minutes later pass, then about half an hour pass, he suddenly realizes to himself, "what the heck was that for?!"
She got his attention. What up?

Old Friend
You ever suddenly come across an old toy that you used to love so much and play with everyday? The instant you look at it, floods of memory come back into your mind and the movie of good times starts playing. Well, I looked at my blog, and this sort of an image popped into my head. Sure, I posted not overly long ago, but it seems I haven't spent as much time with my blog as I used to. ;)
Well, anyway, since the new year started, it's been a bit tough. I'm quite physically exhausted from listening to the demands of work. Don't get me wrong, I'm incredibly thankful that I have a job; it's just very taxing on a body of my build. However, work is always fun and at the end of the day I'm very grateful that I got to experience life with others and earn some money - which I am quickly spending away - for my future schooling.
I must take an opportunity to mention the Oilers. I absolutely - and I very rarely use this word - hate that people keep saying that the Oilers should tank this year and draft Taylor Hall. Sure, it'll be nice if we have him on the team; but what does that say about Oilers' fans? Last week, I heard someone say to another someone that he could probably put a team together that will work harder than the Oilers. Let's see that. Let's see you put a team together that, not only, will be more skilled, but harder working and more intense than the Oilers. Yeah, I didn't think so. It's extremely frustrating to see the Oilers go through such an awful slump, and the players are the first ones to admit that they're horrible. It's no different than having a retailing company go through a span of five years without making any money or having any sort of success. One other thing that bugs me is how someone will go on to say, "this player sucks. that player sucks. they can't do anything." One example off the top of my head is Visnovsky. The point was that Lubo can't play defense. My response to that is, have you watched him at all? Lubo is not only our best offensive defenseman, he's also our best defensive defenseman that's not named Smid. It's the little things that Lubo does that makes him so effective. So next time, go watch a player play for an extended period of time before you make such a comment.
/endrant.
The Oilers will be good, sooner rather than later; bank on it. The likes of Souray, Visnovsky, Smid, Penner, Brule, Gagner and Cogliano need to stay; whatever the heck else Tambellini decides to do with the team, I don't really care.
Anyways, there's not too much in the long run that I'm really looking forward to, or worth mentioning in a blog post. As stated before, I'm going to be grinding some hours out to try to earn as much money as I can.
The weekend is where it's at.

Standstill
Well my friends, the time has come - to raise the roof and have some fun. Someone please wake me up, because it cannot possibly be 2010; Christmas hasn't even arrived yet, how could it be the new year?
Seriously though, there is no way that the new year has come and gone so fast. I remember last year, when I sat on my couch with my laptop on my lap (duh), and the TV turned to Global Television, and had myself all prepared for the clock to strike midnight; it was, truly, a sweet experience that still feels kind of surreal to me. This year though, it didn't even hit me that the new year was arriving so fast. Once again, I had to work New Year's Eve, which kind of sucked, but today was an awesome day of rest.
So, with all that gibberish being said, I want to wish everyone a very blissed and blessed year of 2010. This year is going to be very hectic, I can see it already.
I'm not going to try with "resolutions" or "goals" or anything like that, because, like I said earlier, this year's going to be different. Good or bad difference? I don't know, that remains to be seen.
Okay, I lied, I'm going to have a goal - at least for the short term. And that goal is to be able to wind down myself at least once a week completely to the point where I'm daydreaming so bad that it feels like I'm stoned. What that means, I have absolutely no idea. But, yeah I did.
I no longer know where this blog post is going, so I think I'm just going to end it there. If you can read between the lines, it kind of tells you what I've been going through this holiday season. Life has been pretty much at a stand still for me, and I can't get out of it. It's tough because the way the world works, once you receive a certain calling, and you're sure that it's the Big G calling, you're gonna get attacked; it's just the way things work, and there's not much you can do but have faith. So, hopefully that's what I can keep, and I won't stray too far from the sidewalk. Yep, that'll do.
Happy 2010. Go Canada! Jordan Eberle for the win.
