Body Yup, you heard me.  Hockey.  Jen and I went to the Senate (aka the Tsongas Arena in Lowell) for a preseason game between the New Jersey Devils (who I hate) and the New York Islanders (who I hate even more).

So it wasn’t one of my teams, who cares it was HOCKEY!

Jersey won 5-1 on the strength of a Brian Gionta hat trick.  There were fights galore and lots of hitting.  There wasn’t, however, a whole lot of effort.  The puck dropped at 7:05 and the game was over by 9:00.

Who cares, it was HOCKEY!!  Bring on the season people, I’m ready!

I’m fat.  If you don’t believe me check out some of my pictures.  I’m huge.  My weight is approximately equivalent to an elephant with a cow seated on his lap.

Tonight I saw something that made even my fat assed self ashamed to be a part of our grotesquely overweight society (of which I am at the top of the overweight list).  It was a Taco Bell commercial that promoted a fourth meal. 

Aren’t we as a nation fat enough (with me being top of the fat heap, don’t forget) that telling us to eat another meal each day is a tad, tiny bit, fucking terribly irresponsible?  Fuck you Taco Bell.

The Red Sox won tonight.  The Yankees won too, unfortunately.  That means the division clinching magic number is 2.  That means tomorrow we need the Yankees to lose and the Sox to win… that will allow me to see the Division Clinching Game in Person!

Last May my brother and his wife (Hi John and Mary!) got me a ticket to a Sox game for my birthday.  That game is tomorrow night… and tomorrow night they can clinch the Eastern Division.  I could be there for it!  How much ass does that kick?  It’s also a Josh Beckett game.  Hopefully he does better tomorrow than the last time I saw him at Fenway.  I am cautiously optimistic that the Red Sox (and the Yankees) will come through for me for my birthday present. 

Happy Hockey Season.
Go Sox.
