My Monthly
Well just like women get their visit from Aunt Rose every month, you get a blog post from me. The only problem is that I'm late by a week so I'd have most woman wondering if they're pregnant. ;-)
So my birthday is at the end of the week and for the first time in a long time, I am really looking forward to it. My birthdays in the past have been very disappointing. This year Pookey and I are going up to Guelph to watch my beloved Bulls play. She also gets to see one of her best friends. So its kinda a win-win for both of us and I think we both need to get away from the city. Our work has become routine and my hockey is not going well like it was last year.
Its kind of a frustrating time for me in regards to hockey; I'm really struggling to find my game back to the level it was at last year. I've had moments within a game that go really well, but the others are right in the shitter. So a break will be good for me to re-focus and bring it all together for playoffs. (I hope!)

fridays five got me thinking
I was writing my answers to Friday 5 (last week) and it got me thinking about something and this topic I never thought I would ever talk about. OK you ready for it? MARRIAGE. Yeah that's right, I said that supposedly awful word in a guys life.
Now until about 6 months ago I never thought I would get married, the thought of one woman for the rest of my life was plain scary and I was always wondering if the grass was greener on the other side. The more I think about it, I think it was the person I was with at the time really scared me. I was somewhat content with her but never really wanted to settle down, let alone have kids. Well that all changed when I met Sarah; I can really see myself settling down and raising a family.
Its even got to the point now I wanna contribute to our wedding plans and give Sarah her dream wedding. One of the big things that's changed with it is I really wanna be apart of the planning process. Now ultimately it is the brides day but I really want it to be our day and it be something we both will remember for the rest of our lives.
Most of my memories in my head that always will remember are sports related, like I can tell you exactly every goal in my two hockey championships. I can even go right down to every last detail. now those memories are being added to by Sarah. Things like our first kiss, how we met and the first time we made love. At first I was scared of these memories cause of my manly ego was trying to tell me this is what should be here. (none of this sappy stuff)
Now I wonder if I'm getting older (nearly 30!) and feel the need to start a family or am I truly, deeply in love for the first time in my life. It is a little scary to think about because my lives worries are taking a backseat to that of Sarahs. I now am more concerned about her worries, her fears and trying to make her as happy as I am when I'm with her (looks over shoulder for the sap police).
I know she is struggling with her ambition and what she wants to do with her career and life for that matter. I really wanna be there when she figures it out (I know she will). I really hate to see her suffering over it and really hurts me inside to see it. The best thing I can tell Sarah is be patient and it will come to you. So I sit here writing about marriage and my undying love for someone. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm crazy, but all I have to is look over to her baby blue eyes and I know its all worth it in the end.

Friday 5
And now, for the fridayfive!
When you go to the beach, lake, or pool, are you more likely to lower yourself gradually into cold water or to take a determined plunge and get it over with?
hmm for me it really depends on where we are. Like if its a pool I go to regularly I will just dive right in. However, if its an unknown beach or lake, then I tend to tread very lightly kinda one step at a time, until I'm comfortable with the whole situation.
How is this like (or unlike) your approach to other tasks or ordeals?
This is somewhat how I'm like in life; sometimes I take it cautiously, and others I'm totally gung ho. This is so true with sports, with that I try to lead and be the first to try new things and different ways of adapting.
When someone gives you flowers, are you more likely to let them turn completely brown and gross before throwing them out, or to discard them the moment they take on that sick-flower look?
Being as practical (and, lets face it, male) as I am, I'd wait until they're almost dead or completely dead. Then again, I don't like flowers because they die; I'd rather have/get/buy something I can use or interact with, not just park on a table and watch it wilt.
How is this like (or unlike) your approach to other gifts, purchases, or relationships?
Gifts are gift as long as I see a practical use for them, whether it be entertment or useful etc. I really enjoy the gifts that comes from the heart and especially love the gifts where the person really "gets" me. Relationships must have meaning and there must be love back. Like who I'm with right now; she is very special to me and I know she has a deep love for me.
Think of your favorite movie (or a movie you really like, if you can’t think of a favorite). Some people say that the reasons you love your favorite movie are related to what you value in romantic relationships. How is this true or untrue in your case?
Not really cause most of my favorite movies are sports or action flicks. So to me that says my relationships should be quick, high impact, fly by the seat of your pants, and they are far from that! I love long meaningful relationships. All my relationships have lasted at least a year or more (especially the one I'm in right now. I truly believe that she will be my wife and I'm so excited for that day to happen.)

just an update
So now the waiting begins, with my ball hockey done for the year and my ice season still about a month away. It is a really a slow time for me as far as sports go. I am really looking forword to this ice hockey season, with last year winning it all and winning all the individual awards that I could. I feel the urge to repeat as champions and am looking to regain my top goalie award. I know I'm going to have to work hard and start getting back to the gym on a more regular basis.
Work is as busy as ever with Back-to-School stock starting to come in and most of the summer stock still here. I am slowly figuring out the department and getting a handle on things. It's been an easier adjustment then what I had orignally thought. This week has been interesting; work has paid for a First Aid course for me and a few others. It's mostly a refresher for me since mine just expired last month. There are a few updates and a few new ways to do stuff so I'm not too bored though.
Thats it for now, just a short post for me. Until I write again, have fun and don't do anything I would not do.
