Hello Family, I welcome you to read another post,

So, this is another post in the same fashion of nothing exciting to write, but it’s been too long without an update. Nothing real entertaining has been going on according to me, but some of you might want to read about what I do.

I’m still playing hockey in Red Deer and our team is 2-3. Let me explain aboout our horrible record before you make any judgements. Our team is old, and with old usually comes slow and tired. If that’s not enough, our goalie couldn’t save a beach ball, and I mean that literally. He’s the definition of a seive. And Jay Vedder is not pulling his weight, someone has to tell him to step it up a notch. Just kidding.

School is not all its cracked up to be, well not Distance Education. Some of you might say, “But Nick, you get to sleep in and do your homework on your own time,” but this isn’t the case. I find that its harder than actually going to class. If you want to do it properly, there is alot of work that goes into it. Anyway, the real reason I’m writing this blog is because of procrastination. I have a research project to do, but I don’t feel like doing it. Alas…

Another friend has come to live with us in Red Deer. Brian, my friend from high school, came down on Halloween and is now living with us. It’s nice to have another friendly face that we know here. He’s a good asset to the house because he brought a projector to watch TV on. Our TV screen is now huge, massive, really big, about 5 feet by 7 feet- I can’t go back.

Another thing to mention about Red Deer, they don’t mess around with their outdoor rinks. They have full boards built out of wood, not just plywood, but like a fence around the whole rink. And they’re huge! And they’re numerous! I love this place, hockey player’s heaven. Oh, the weather still sucks. We’ve had a layer of snow since a week before Halloween and it’s stayed since then. They don’t plow the roads either, just sand them. The residential roads are a sheet of ice. It’s very dangerous driving here.

Anyway, I want to mention that I’m not becoming a hick like some people believe. I do watch Corner Gas and My Name is Earl, but that’s as far as my hick-ness goes. I do not wear boots or cowboy hat, thank you very much. And country music sucks. (Sorry if I offended anyone who likes country music, which an oxy-moron by the way)

The Nick Show has plenty of ideas this time around. Uncle Ype volunteered to be part of it again. After a sub-par performance in the last show, Ype has alot to prove this time around. Thanks for volunteering Ype. I also think I know who’s going to be the musical guest this time around, haha.

So, now you know about my life, so it’s time for the quiz.

1) What is our hockey team’s record?
a)4-2
b)3-3
c)hockey sucks!

2) What are the two shows that border on hick-ness that I watch?
a)Hockey Night in Canada
b)My Name is Corner Gas
c)CSI:Miami (Horatio freaks me out)

If you completed this quiz, give yourself a zero, and now go do something useful. Haha.

Until next time, family!

Nick
