What better way to spend a friday than to be with all the people from your program at your teacher's house. That's right. Drinking alcohol, commiserating, laughing, some smoking, others singing, one looking for lost keys, another barfing in the toilet bowl then on the sidewalk several times, and hugging one another. Yes, what can be better than that? I do not know, that is why I ask? Well, I lied. There is nothing better. Then again, maybe there is, but I am not rich. My memory of friday night is a little here and there. I was not drunk or at least I believe I wasn't. Oh, here I go again. I had about 1.5-2 liters of beer before the party - like twenty, thirty minutes before. Then five beers (2 stellas, 1 canadian and 2 smirnoff ice). One thing I should point out; when I was at the bar I went to piss twice, but once I left the bar and entered the subway I had to piss again. Unfortunately, I had to wait until I got to my teachers house. I prayed that I could hold it because I had no change of clothes and I was NOT looking forward to showing up at my teachers house smelling like fresh urine. NO SIR! I get to my teachers house, thank God, and the first thing I say to him, "Hi Dan, where is your bathroom because I have to piss real bad." What a nice greeting.
Apparently someone fell down the stairs because he was drunk (I believe it was 5-10 steps). I did not witness this, but I did hear the THUMP.
I do remember contemplating whether I should call my cousin at 9ish (James, correct me if I am wrong) or not. Apparently I did, and left the following message on the answering machine with a drunken tone (I believe), "Yo what's up BRUDDAH call me back BYE." NOTE: the words in cap are those I emphasized with a loud tone. The next day, saturday, I look in my phone only too realize that I text my friend at 10pm friday night. Keep in mind that I DO NOT remember doing this. Thank GOD it was nothing embarrassing.

Blood on my hands
They got the pistol pressed against the back of his head,
Fingers quivering, trigger about to snap back,
They got him playing Russian roulette
With no cards, only fear paying for life,
Another bomb goes off in the back,
The bunker blown, blood gushing from the thousand limbs,
They got him conforming to their values,
Only way to survive,
The night turns to hell; his life shattered in vain,
A million rounds and a pool of blood,
Hands quivering, eighty images flickering in 5 seconds,
So much ethnic cleansing,
They got their back to the wall,
With blood on their hands,
With blood on their hands.
The poor fight to survive,
But political and culture beliefs hold them back,
They got a semi pressed against their chest,
A shot if they refuse to change views,
The country is almost gone,
No more homes, no more shelter,
Only the graves to hide in,
The country is the prisoner of war,
This destruction, poisoned within,
They got their backs to the wall,
With blood on their hands,
With blood on their hands.
Fingers quivering, trigger about to snap back,

Kick Out The Jams
Today was something. Priceless moment? No, not really. What did I do today? The memory seems to be fading, but I do remember two key moments. One being the purchase of an X-Box 360 and 3 games (GTA 4, Mass Effect and F.E.A.R expansion), which I have been waiting for two weeks. Two Weeks!!! Two long weeks. Very long. I am exstatic and I cannot wait to play GTA and F.E.A.R tomorrow. Hopefully I do not over do it and play 6+ hours. Oh, fuck it. Games are meant to be played and overused like laws are meant to be broken. Also, it is GTA 4. I mean, come on people - GTA 4 needs lots of care and playing time. It is a law. A religion. I kid you not. Mass effect is an amazing and as realistic a game can get, but I do have one minor, well major, problem. I bought the french version, which means I have to return it tomorrow, possibly, in exchange for an english version. It will be done. It MUST be done. The F.E.A.R expansion game was a little bonus for myself. Plain shooting game. My cup of tea. Well, GTA is also my cup of tea. Oh, fuck it, all three games are my cup of tea, coffee, alcohol beverage, coke, pepsi and all that jazz.
Now, to the good and bad news. I have finally completed my english exit exam - my last college exam. The instructions were simple to follow, and the minimum length of the paper was a joke (750 words). I must have written 1,000-1,200 words. Maybe more. Though I believe my thesis was cow shit, and the second last paragraph on the author was horse piss. Real awful. Well, I am glad that is done. The exam was four hours, and knowing me I used almost the entire time allowed. The worst part of the exam was my fucking running nose. I finished a pack of 10 kleenex (you know, the small package?) - it was icky and fucked up. After I handed in the three booklets I literally ran to the bathroom to blow my nose. What a bitch! Ugh!
Once that bloody exam was over, I decided to go to Chapters (book store) and HMV (music/movie store). For 3 months I had debated whether to buy the Rage Against the Machine (yes, I know I talk a lot about them. I am sorry) cover album called Renegades, but I had always bought other cds or movies for that matter. Well, today I decided to end this charade once and for all. Yes, I bought it for 9$. Sweet sweet sound and incredible vocals :D
Nothing like singing songs *YES, SIR!*

Almost Done
That's right, I am almost done college. Monday is the last day of class for me and then I got the english exit exam on wednesday (8-12). I am currently working on my US History essay/test for monday, mind you that I have one class on monday from 8:30-10. This upcoming wednesday, after I complete my english exit exam, I will be buying an xbox 360 with GTA 4 and possibly another game. For 'that' other game, I have narrowed my choices: Mass Effect, Devil May Cry 4 and Dead Rising. So far it looks like GTA 4 and Mass Effect. Pending.
The current bands/singers I am listening to are: Rage Against the Machine (no shit!), Deftones, Cypress HIll, Elvis Costello (Who?) and The National.

Iron Man (Comic + Movie)
I intended to talk only about the movie I saw this past wednesday, but one thing led to another. I am certain that not many know this, but I used to read quite a bit of comics back in the day. 90s, of course, and early 00s. For some odd reason I stopped. I guess I lost interest in comics, but I have always loved the aspects of the superhero. I have read Spider-Man, who hasn't?, Superman, Dead Pool, Iron Man, X-Men, Wolverine, Fantastic Four (only one comic), Batman, Hulk, Avengers and others that I cannot think of at this moment.
The Super Hero that I have followed and loved reading about was, and still is, Iron Man. As I mentioned, I stopped reading comics in early 00s, but Iron Man was my favorite. I remember the good old days when Tony Stark brought the Iron Man suit in his suit case. Oh, the glory. *happy face* I always loved Iron Man and War Machine scenes. War Machine was . . . . amazing. Anyways, the point I am bringing about, if any at all, is that I have gone back to those good old days where I would sit outside and read comic books. Yesterday I bought the graphic novel, Iron Man: Extremis, and Civil War: Frontline 1. I have completed Iron Man: Extremis, which was one hell of a story (great writing) and astonishing fight scenes. Now, you don't have to take my word for it. I am sure that comic book experts out there are better at criticizing and applauding every single comic out there because they have studied it, and made it their religion. One of the numerous aspects I enjoyed about Extremis was the amount of reference to how it all started. I know the story already, but for those who are not clear about it there are some scenes that mention how Tony Stark became Iron Man. Obviously, these scenes are not just shoved into the comic for the sake of shoving it in; there is an importance for its addition. Now to the movie.
I am going to make it brief as possible, and hopefully I will not ruin the story. For those of you who do not know, Tony Stark/Iron Man is played by one of my favorite actors after Denzel Washington, Robert Downey Jr. Mr. Downey Jr. brings a dashing and dry humor to the film, which works out perfectly: that is Robert Downey Jr. 101. The first half of the movie is spent on describing who Tony Stark is and what he does. Though within the first twenty minutes Tony Stark is captured by terrorists who demand him to build them the "Jericho," a powerful bomb like weapon (don't worry, everything is explained better in the movie). The other half of the movie is, well, Iron Man.
The cast was strong, no doubt about that. I believe there was great chemistry between Robert Downey Jr. and Gweneth Paltrow, but once again, that is just my opinion. There was also Terrence Howard playing militant, James Rhodes, and the famous Jeff Bridges, a.k.a The Dude, playing Obadiah Stane. The only problem I have with the cast was the lack of screen time and lines for Terrence Howard, who is a remarkable actor. Nevertheless, I believe they will build him up in Iron Man 2 because he will be ......... I will NOT say who.

Fuck!
I am sick and I do not know why I am still up. Pretty much bored. The worst part is that I have to go to school tomorrow despite only having one class from 8:30-10 because I need to hand in an assignment. Fuck!

Extinction (curtain call)
The knees are swelling
From your beatings and your killer machine,
The lights dim, the curtains close,
The whiplash, another shot to the stomach,
The veins punctured, now the blood erupts
Spilling and bubbling all over the floor,
The hand swollen, fingers chopped
A nervous reaction, families hiding under their homes,
A fire burning inside: all this pain,
The knees bruised, broken,
Swollen by your unecessary beatings,
A harsh time with the American dreamin'.
A curtain call,
Here come the forces swarming in,
A bullet through the hearts of a million,
Distinction of the poverty in this world,
With a semi-automatic, this is extinction,
A trigger-to-heart lesson,
The red, white and blue now inverted,
The hearts of the 52 stars seem to disappear,
Here comes extinction.

This is my first post in May. How nice. Not sure what to say that is not news yet. I have already talked about getting an X-box 360 , Grand Theft Auto 4 and one of the following games: F.E.A.R, Condemned, Dead Rising and Devil May Cry 4. I am still up in the air on the second game. No worries, I got a week to decide before I buy the console and the games. I have already mentioned that April will be a month of hell in previous posts with the amount of essays. And it sure fucking was. However, I am glad that April is over and all those disgusting essays are done. Now, May: by the 14th I am done mother fuckers!
Also, incase none of you have heard of last.fm ( http://www.last.fm/dashboard/ ) you should take a look. I have already reached 10,013 plays of Rage Against the Machine. Proud number. On the right of this page there is an example of 'last.fm;' a display of the last 10 songs I have listened too.
What else? Umm. Oh, yeah. Unless there is major hockey news (trades, rumors) there will be nothing hockey related posts until the season begins in October 08'.

So I have been thinking
About getting an xbox 360. What sparked the mood? A little bit of Grand Theft Auto 4. A little bit of getting back in the mood of playing video games as I was a while back. For some reason I have stalled for the last year on playing video games. Mind you I still have a PS2 in which I had owned Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and San Andreas. Damn San Andreas was so damn good, but I kept getting stuck at the fucking airplane tutor/training missions. I am not a pilot, OK!!
As I mentioned I do have a PS2, but I think it is time for a change and upgrade. A PS3 will cost me way too much, 400$ for the console, another hundred or so for a game. However, the Xbox can cost me as low as 279$ plus GTA 4 at 59$, which makes it reasonable to buy. I am not saying that I will buy an xbox 360 and GTA, but I have been thinking about it and so far it is a yes. If I end up buying the xbox 360 and GTA 4, then it will only be once I have finished this semester (14th of May, in 2 weeks bitch!).

So, it seems that Mr. Sully will have a stack of 15 pages to read during the weekend. I hope he loves it, and hopefully he is in a GREAT fucking mood when he reads it. Bloody fucking hell. I wish I could say that this is my last essay for college, but I would lie if I did. After this bloody bitch I will be busy and fucked up as I write my english essay, which is a staggering 40 FUCKING percent. Does this teacher on heroin or something? Mind you, kids, I have never done heroin or any drugs. Now Run away.

Game 7 Baby, Game 7 (And little story)
Just when you thought the Bruins were better off quitting and not fighting for the series, the Bruins end up responding. Big time. I remember, i remember clearly. When it was announced that Boston were to face Montreal in the first round there was immediate pannic. Boston had lost 11 straight against Montreal and were calculated as easy prey's for Montreal. Typical. As much as a Bruins fan hates the Montreal Canadiens, one cannot argue with that call. Throughout the season Boston were beaten and hung out to dry by the Canadiens. They one us. Period. Therefore, it was a unnanymous prediction that Montreal would win. Some said in 4 - a sweep - while others said in five, max. I did so myself. In an earlier post I predicted that Montreal would win in 6 games only because their record in the previous 10 games against Boston was one sided. However, I did say in the post PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS that if Boston would somehow push a game 7, then Boston would eliminate Montreal. Well, I am here to say that I am sticking with that call. Yes, it is a little early considering that game 7 is one day away (Monday), but it is anyone's game: with the way Boston is playing they have the better odds.
Only one hockey analyst (i guess you can say that) claimed Boston would win the series, though, in 6 games. That man was featured on www.thefourthperiod.com . I said this countless times, especially after game 4 (Montreal leading the series 3-1) that I was proud of the Bruins as a team no matter what happens in game 5. And I still am proud. Tonight's game brought the adrenaline and excitement all back, especially when I saw Cam Neely pumping his fists when Boston took the lead in game 6.
I went to game 6 with a friend tonight, who told me not to get involved with the dumbass (sorry to use this word) Habs fans who were chanting "Boston sucks, Boston Faggots, Boston sucks dick, and the list goes on." After Montreal took the 1-0 lead, I turned to them, being the only Bruins fan in the bar/restaurant, and said, "Don't get too excited, it is not over yet." So they kept chanting and insulting Boston, and I kept my cool, laughed and shaked my head. After the game, one of them came up to me and gave me two middle fingers yelling, "Faggot." So, I paused and remembered what my friend said 'don't get involved,' ( I did not want something to happen to my friend, you know?), so I turned to the guy (I had to say something, nothing mean though) and said "you see what happens when you get to excited thinking the game is over." After a while the guy came back from the bathroom and started telling me, once again, "Boston sucks, Boston faggots, they are the worst team in the league, and so on." Again, I looked at the guy, who came to the bar/restaurant with a group of 6 guys (2 girls), and said, "Look man, I'm not going to start arguing with people like you, but if Boston sucks, if Boston is the worst team in the league, then why is there going to be a game 7?" The guy just left. Just like that.
Anyways, I am happy that I did not get too involved in a heated argument.

Robin Hood
Of him, I know little. (sounds funny...). A friend of mine has been continuously talking about the series, which airs on BBC television, so I decided to give it a try. Though, I was uncertain about the acting or the entire movement of the show, I decided to give it a shot and maybe get a good laugh out of it. Tonight I decided to watch an episode or two. However, little did I know, one episode led to another, and that other episode led to another and so on. At this moment, 12:48am, I am at episode 5 and I will be watching a couple more before going to bed. I don't know why it did not come to my mind so quickly, but Robin Hood reminds me of the old Hercules series with Kevin Sorbo, as well as Young Hercules with the now-famous Ryan Gosling, and last but not least - yes, I know you will get a good laugh at this one - The adventures of Sinbad (1996-1998). Why? How? Well, let's see, these show, as well as Robin Hood, bring a fun paced adventure fulfilled with heroes and villains, and of course some sort of love story as we see in Robin Hood between Marian, Guy and Robin Hood. Ok, it is a love-triangle. . .sort of.
Call me corny, or whatever the name is, but I enjoy shows like Hercules, Young Hercules, The adventures of Sinbad and Robin Hood. The adventure and romance kind of grows on me, I guess. Geez, look at the time, what am I saying. I don't want to spill something I should not be saying. Off I go to watch some more entertaining Robin Hood.
Thank you Princess Hood. (LAUGHS OUT LOUD).

Playoff Predictions (My post-game comments are in the 'comment' box)
As you can tell the Bruins are in the playoffs, which means that a good chunk of my future posts will be dedicated to the Bruins-Habs series. Nevertheless, this will most likely stop once the Bruins are out of the playoff picture. I will give you my own NHL playoff prediction of all 8 series (East and West). However, I will only give you an analytical analysis, or at least close to it, of the Bruins-Habs series.
East:
1. Montreal v. 8. Boston (MTL lead 3-2)
Game 1: Boston 1 - Montreal 4
Game 2: Boston 2 - Montreal 3
Game 3: Montreal 1 - Boston 2
Game 4: Montreal 1 Boston 0
Game 5: Boston 5 Montreal 1
Game 6:
Game 7:
As many of you know by now, I am an avid Boston Bruins fan and have been for a dozen or so years. That being said, the best of me (biases) persuades me to chose or atleast hope for an upset which means a Boston series victory. However, it is quite obviously who is and should be the favorite to win the series: that team is Montreal. I believe that Montreal will win in 6 games. However, do not think for one second that this will be a walk in the park for Montreal. Far from it. Yes, Montreal has won 11 straight against Boston dating back to last season, but as I have mentioned and stressed this countless times, the playoffs are a different atmosphere, a different ball game so to speak. For Bruins fans looking at our record against the Habs, 0-7-1, is not a pretty figure. I know that many habs fans, if not, all, believe that Montreal will have an easy series that will last no longer than 5 games: if lucky, the bruins will push for a game 6. I beg to differ. Though I have chosen for Montreal to win in 6 does not mean that I have lost faith in Boston. You can look at this series in several ways. Looking at it realistically then one will chose Montreal to win it easily, maybe a series sweep, maybe in 5. My prediction that Montreal would win in 6 games is a realistic prediction, which may be the wrong thing to do because so many other important factors must apply. Besides the fact that Boston would have a better record (superior one) than Montreal had the Bruins not faced the Habs this year, one must look at this fact: Boston have NOTHING to lose. Nothing. Ziltch. The worst teams to face whether it is in the season or in the playoffs are those who are eliminated or are the underdogs respectively.
If we look at Boston one may and should see a team that has resurrected against all odds. If you thought that Montreal fought against all odds by reaching first, which is a huge accomplishment, wait until you hear about Boston. Since the lockout Boston has stunk up the place. Seriously. Bad management as always, horrible coaches (Sullivan and Lewis) and so on. However, this year was a little different. The Bruins acquired a number one goalie, Manny Fernandez, and signed a fighter/fourth line player, Shawn Thornton. Yes, I know, not that big of a change. The Bruins has got a new coach, Claude Julien, whom I disliked but didn't know much about. Then came all the predictions from the so-called hockey experts. Who were predicted to finish last in the EAST? None other than Boston. Keep in mind they chose Boston to finish last with a FULL TEAM. Now, Montreal was not chosen to make the playoffs by most so-called hockey expects. Montreal was classed between 9-11th spot. So, the season begins and nothing went right for Boston. Patrice Bergeron, arguably Boston's best forward, gets a concussion and is out for the year. Manny Fernandez plays 4 games before hurting his knee: he is out for the year. Ever since the 9th game Boston has never played with a full team. Never. Glen Murray misses 20 games, Aaron Ward (D) misses about the same amount, Andrew Ference (D) constantly hurt, misses 20+ games, Zdeno Chara misses 5 games, Tim Thomas misses about 8 games, and the list goes on. Against all odds we make the playoffs. Boston, with half a team, make the playoffs. How about that? Why did they make it? Claude Julien said, "There are teams that are out of the playoffs but have a better roster than us. The reason why we are in the playoffs and they are not is because of TEAM WORK."
A team with nothing to lose against a team, the favorites to win the series, who have dominated the Bruins for the past 2 1/2 years and are 23-7 in playoffs series. If Boston win, it will be in 7 games. And the reason why they would win is because of TEAM WORK.
Yes, I have chosen Montreal in 6, but I will not be surprised at all if Boston win the series.
2. PIttsburgh v. 7. Ottawa
Key players: Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Pittsburgh in 6.
3. Washington v. 6. Philadelphia
Key player: Cristobal Huet and Ovechkin. Washington in 6
4. New Jersey v. 5. Rangers
Lunqvist v. Brodeur. Rangers will win in 6
WEST:
1. Detroit v. 8. Nashville
Nashville has nothing to lose, which makes it much harder for Detroit. I'm going with an upset: Nashville in 6.
2. San Jose v. 7. Calgary
Key player: Joe THornton, but watch for Patrick Marleau to explode. San Jose in 6
3. Minnesota v. 6. Colorado
Key player: Marian Gaborik. Minnesota in 5
4. Anaheim v. 5. Dallas
Key player: Giguere and Pronger. Anaheim in 5
East:
1. Montreal v. 8. Boston (MTL lead 3-2)
Game 1: Boston 1 - Montreal 4
Game 2: Boston 2 - Montreal 3
Game 3: Montreal 1 - Boston 2
Game 4: Montreal 1 Boston 0
Game 5: Boston 5 Montreal 1
Game 6:

Tick Tock, 48 hours
Straight off the bat, this post is NOT, I repeat, it is NOT about Eddie Murphy's comedy/action movie. Nope. Though I must admit that the post will present some sort of action and the usual, well maybe, some comedy. Now back to business. I am so hyper and anxiously anticipating round one of the playoffs between Montreal and Boston. 48 hours away. Yes, good for you, you realized the meaning of "48 hours" in the title of this post. Round of applause please.
Ok. I guess I should write something analytical about the series. Unfortunately, I have been so busy that I am surprised at myself for finding some time to write this. Nevertheless, I should post something tomorrow about the series: the end of the week would be the latest. Once that is posted I will not post until the series is over since I will, again, be overloaded with essays and cheesy exams (though, I cannot think of any) over the month.
To cut this short, my prediction is Montreal in 6. Realistically, the way Montreal has dominated us this year (8-0) and over the last 2-3 years, they should win it easily. However, I beg to differ because the playoffs are a whole new ball game. It is all about 'who wants it more.' What better revenge than eliminating the Habs now where it hurts most. That is the SWEET REVENGE.
Needless to say, if the Boston Bruins manage to pull off an upset, which I really hope will happen, they will do it in game 7.
