Wheelin' and Dealin'

I haven't been able to really record any happenings from the past week in my brain well enough so that I'd be able to write about them. I know, for sure, that at some points throughout the past week I had something I wanted to write about, but now I've forgotten what they are. Oops. The first thing that is worth noting is that, I really wonder where June went. It's as if this month just started two days ago. All of a sudden, kids are coming out of school and summer programs are beginning to take form.

This past friday, we, as in the high school and college groups, had a sweet little year end gathering and a nerf war at church. It was pretty sweet as I haven't participated in a nerf war in quite a while - over half a year, I believe. For some reason though, I believe that it was this event that lead me to waking up with sore quads; geez, I'm useless.

Earlier that friday, the annual NHL entry draft took place. I can't say that this draft was all too exciting, but I sure am stoked at some of the players that the Oilers drafted. I am rather surprised that Scott Glennie, projected to be the Oilers' pick, went so early, and that Paajarvi-Svensson dropped to the spot where we picked him. All in all, I am slightly disappointed that John Tavares is now an Islander, because I wanted Tambellini to trade up to draft him; that way, we could see Tavares play with, possibly, Gagner, O'Sullivan, and Eberle. Oh well, I can assure you right now, that I will draft Tavares in our upcoming season of hockey fantasy pool.

It's rare that I am so hyped for hockey around this time of year, but I simply cannot shy away from it. I bought a brand new hockey stick today: this is the time of year when they are cheap, and I am participating in ECBC's hockey tournament next weekend. I am stoked for this. I can't say I'm expecting too much because I've never been to this before, and therefore, I don't know what it will be like.

Finally, I want to take a moment to remind people who need it, to step away from the driver's seat and onto the passenger's side. Take a deep breath, strap your seat belt on, and allow God to help you continue on with your journey. People simply get overwhelmed too much nowadays, and don't know how to cope with it. Especially, now that the exam period has just ended, many people are having their stress and whatever catch up to them. Take a break. Lean back. Relax.

Lots to look forward to within the next couple of weeks. Here I come summer! I'm ready to play some more soccer tomorrow; hopefully my legs aren't sore.
