I'm chillicus.


$#@!'n dominated in first game.
Ball to the right shin.
Ball to the top of the arch on the other foot.
Ball almost made me piss blood tomorrow.

I might limp like a $#@!'n zombie, but at least I still have a functioning left kidney :>
Some matrix style dodging curling over backwards to avoid that $#@!, I felt the $#@!er whip my shirt back as it sailed past :<

Two teammates almost got knocked the $#@! out. They hit the deck after some prick did a fly hit. Lucky ball missed them both, we had no subs.

Feels good man :)

***

Must have taken a stick to the shoulder at some point too... there's a welt up there I didn't notice before, haha.
At least I warmed up this time and didn't stretch or pull anything like I did all summer long, haha.
Weekend warrior styles FTL :/

Deal with it.

He is. Notice how there was 0 complaint?

I however used to hate playing teams who only punished the ball, no control. Makes for a boring game.

Yeah, you wish you had.
We had 1 goal, not by you.

The amount of punishment I got in the first half I was so hoping you'd go for the big drive and hit one (... in the goal... yes...)

Indeed. They had the traditional 3rd form back and seagull forwards layout. Bugger all positional play either :<

As for this mish guy... that troll did a fuck'n barrelroll.
2 or 3 actually.

Never scored a goal, or tried, but he bled all over his nice clean white top... which we had to hand back at the end of the game, hahaha.
Like a fuck'n BOSS.

Who you play for pyro? I always get one major injury every year playing hockey, lost teeth, broken nose, stitches and screwed up knee.
We had our second game of the season on sunday.

Hockey is a damn dangerous game. At least in rugby you can see the injury coming. This game's pain somes in the form of a tiny, rock-hard ball flying at high speed from someone that has no idea that a ball should be hit along the ground. The injuires might be less frequent, but when they happen.....

Latest job op. is still in good standing thankfully (and am very hopeful due to words spoken to me by HR). But another job op. has gone to the dogs because I am of a certain profession despite them saying in the same breath that I am both qualified and experienced.

From a certain background, yeah. Was told that the position was not suited for a graphic designer even though they agreed that I had provided proof of being more than capable for the position.

I've almost finished the website. I've got the main page down which is the hardest. Just got to figure out the content and and how the subsequent pages look/feel.

What's holding me back is funding to register as a legitimate outfit and all the costs that come with starting up a business.

So many hirers do that yet so many great employees come from differing knowledge/expertise backgrounds. The truth is people can always learn on the job (which is why university always seems a bit useless at times) A lot of the top guys I have talked to over here in Korea have gone into their jobs from only semi related jobs (if that).

Also what costs are you having trouble with? An online presence with a growing list of satisfied customers/proof of your work, should do the trick?
