New blog, insomnia strikes..concincidence?

First things first. Guess I should explain where the name of this blog comes from. I used it one day in conversation with a fellow cube dweller over at Marsh, I was refering to the attitude that underwriters used to have towards us broker types. She laughed loudly, and thought that it was a pretty acurate statement.

An update on me:

been playing....ball hockey, the winter league. I'm playing much better as a player since the first futile bigger playing surface days of last summer. I no longer need ice packs on my knees post game and can walk just fine the next day....As long as stairs aren't in the way. I bought some new running shoes from the running room. Man they are good sales people. Did fit me into exactly what I needed though. Kudos to the sales job. Just so you know I made it through the winter league before being injured 9 games, 2 assists. So far in the winter league I'm at 9 games 3 assists. Go me. with this momentum I'll break 100 points some time near 2010. Of course now I'm playing half the game and have been fairly good defensively.....except against #4 of the swashbucklers...damn guy still have nightmares about him scorching me all night long.

been watching....Having cable for the first time in 10 years I find myself watching lots of this silly Mythbusters show on Discovery. REally, really really half assed science, but I do find it entertaining never the less.

been gaming...sadly no. It's on pause for now. I thought about getting an xbox360 but decided to wait and decide what to get once the next playstation lands.

been selling....Well, I'm at 79.5 cars (the .5 is a split commish) in the 8 months that I've done this....but....this past two weeks have been rough, I've only sold 1 car and that was today. I had 3 splits though in that time. I'm getting better though, I think next year could be huge for me.

been at the new hut....I love it. well done Axio.

been doing anything remotely interesting? uh. no. not really. My life is at work now, work 10 days on 3 off, of those 3 off I typically work one or two of those days.

Things I think I think....
- Horse racing rules. It's one of those things where I wish other people really understood the fun of it and it was more popular...but then again, I'm happy it's not.
- I'd hate to see Brett Farve retire after such an awful season
- Watched some of the sunday night game tonight, LT is a machine, but the color commentator was right, his full back is worth every penny.
- I think GM is going to enter bankruptcy protection in the next year to year and a half. They came 40 minutes away frmo bankruptcy in the early 90's. They were literally sitting by the fax machine waiting for notice from a bank on a due loan which would have pushed them into chapter 11.
- I think the new nhl bores me as much as the old nhl
- I think at age 29 I might just have to get my wisdom teeth taken out
- President's Choice beer, pilsner variety isn't to shabby and is damn cheap. I feel like I'm one step away from drinking it out of a brown bag though
- I made a puking pumpkin this year at halloween, I'll post a pic for ya sometime in the future
- U2 is a fantastic band, but Green Day is probably my favorite right now
- I dislike telus greatly. I'm not too thrilled with Shaw either. Vonage so far has been great.
- I've not had a cell phone for quite some time now and I don't miss it in the slightest.
- Does anyone know where a guy can get some decent commercial grade fitness equipment back from lease to a gym? I checked out a few of the home type ones and man are they crappy mccrap.
- I'm enormously jelous of my neighbours, firefighter, 7 days on 7 off. the other a emt 4 on 4 off. sigh. I'm like never off....
