Sleepy Brain

I’m struggling to stay awake right now. We had our first hockey game of the winter season last night at 9:15 PM. I didn’t get home until 11:00 and didn’t get to sleep until 12:00. I’ve managed to stay awake most of the day by being outside in the cold, eating candy, and drinking caffeine.

We played the evil Peoria firefighters team. They spent last winter getting their ass’s handed to them in B-League so they decided to come down and dominate C-League again. We lost 6-1. Overall it was pretty fun. I got hit with a puck on the front of my foot in the first period. It hurt like a bitch, and it still aches a bit. Near the end I was frustrated and my foot was throbbing so I took a stupid penalty. I basically checked this guy and kind of fell over in the process. Not my finest. I played OK; I had several shots on net, and one breakaway chance I failed to score on. My backhand is weak like a 6-year-old girl so I didn’t get much on it.

We also had a Halloween party on Saturday. It was not as fun as last Saturday’s part. I still can’t really relate and get along with other engineers on a social level.

Time to go home and lay on the couch.

  • You know what is funny... Back in college, I was part of a music school. A Conservatory actually. There were 200 of us in this little school on a much larger campus. We made up the symphony, two concert bands, and two choirs. There also was a Jazz elective, some chamber groups and a bunch of solo shit you were involved with as well.

    The funniest most awkward times were when someone wanted to get together as a group. Say a All-Conservatory party. Well, there was a profession sorority and fraternity as well as a co-ed social fraternity within the group. And then there were people like me who didn't give a fuck all with that shit. I hung on the outside.

    Everyone and anyone could be at someone else's throat because you could have stole the lead part in the choir over a singer when you were majoring in a particular instrument instead of singing. That was the big one when the Trombone player had the better voice than the Bass Singer with the full ride for singing.

    Anyhow, that's how I can relate to your social gatherings with other Engineers. You might all subconsciously be at each other's throats because of some design skill that you have over another. You know how it is... Engineers are much like a lead trumpet players. One actually gets the part and 10 sit back and tell you how they would have done it better.
