Sticks and Kicks

First of all, I want to say that if you do not own an iPod touch, save up money and go buy one. I have been having so much fun playing with it since I bought it a few days ago. Seriously, you will not be disappointed, at least not the first week or so. This toy that I have bought is my anti-boredom tool, haha.

Anyways, February began and if I remember correctly, this month passes by so fast based on the past. My birthday comes and goes, then next thing you know it's March. Things to look forward to during February, reading week.. that's about it; exams, ew.

Well, this saturday we are finally playing hockey again! One unexpected thing though is that this event got a little bigger than I originally anticipated. I intended for approximately 20 people to be playing, but now all of a sudden I think we have upwards of 25, oops. Oh well, I guess it will be more fun and less tiring. We haven't played hockey in over a year, so I am really looking forward to getting some exercise again (lol <_<). If I remember correctly, I only scored 3 goals the last time we played. By my standards and past games, that is actually a pretty horrible production. I think my highest, done a few years ago, was 10 goals and 5 or so assists. I had a few games where I scored between 5 and 7, but that's about it. I hope being forced to use plastic sticks won't slow my production this time. I think the only reason why I score so many is because I am generally closer to my physical peak than most of others who are playing. This is not saying that I am more fit, because it is very obvious that I am anything but fit right now. It's just that I am (at this time of age) closer to the age where physically, you have the highest potential, mixed in with your mental ability - a.k.a sixth sense. If you're a creeper from the beginning, you might have come across me mentioning inheriting some sort of a sixth sense ability. This is not nearly at the level of professional athletes, but I do have it to some degree. On top of that, it feels like I have an ability to learn things fast, so this coupled with my sixth sense can come in handy. Based on what I see, and watching other people play, I can learn the way people move around and their tendencies, allowing me to be able to almost predict plays. So, because of this, I can position myself so it becomes easy for the ball or puck to come to me.

Okay. Generally, I don't really talk much about my athletic sense because I've lost a big chunk of my athletic ability due to inactivity. But reading what I just wrote kind of sounds like I am boasting, haha. I am not trying to brag, but instead state something I possess, so please don't interpret it as like "ooh I have this, you don't, I'm better than you." Anyways, really looking forward to playing hockey.

I am in desperate need of some new shoes. For those who don't know, I have flat feet and I need some sort of arch support on my shoes. If I don't have the arch support, which I haven't had in many years now, it is very bad for my back. Your feet support your entire body and with the amount of pressure that gets put on your spine for every step you take, having that support that your feet can step comfortably without having to "flatten" out every step is so important. Not having the support for my arches over the past years has given me bad backs everytime I get home. Ouch. So tomorrow hopefully I can find some shoes with arch support. =D

There you have it: sticks and kicks.

Time to get murdured by my upcoming midterms.
