There I am, standing in line waiting for a slice of delicious Round Table Pizza (which tastes the equivalent of Dominos when you get it from the HP Pavilion). The nice gentleman takes my order and is about to put my pizza through the oven when all of a sudden... LIGHTS OUT. Was I was running my mouth like a typical hockey fan earlier in the night? Don't think so. Turns out that the entire arena lost it's power. So, there I was, hungover, next in line, hungry and blind. Talk about a bad combo. This lasts for EIGHT minutes. Now I realize eight minutes doesn't seem like that long, but when you are suffering like I was, it seemed like eternity.
Anyways, power is finally restored to a portion of the electrical system and to make a long story short, didn't get pizza until after the first period, the game started a half hour late and there was no pre-game anythings (National Anthem, topless women jumping on trampolines, etc etc).
The game starts and the Sharks are actually playing decently well (it was the Bruins though), but just couldn't put it in the net. It was like watching a video of yourself trying to get in a girls pants, but she just kept denying you when you start to unzip her pants (even after trying to "pad" your chances with alcohol, roofies, etc).
Bruins scored in the 1st period on some lucky rebound and then finally in the 3rd period, with 30 seconds left, the Sharks tie it up. We were all thinking, "Sick, there has only been 2 goals in the game, this is DEFIANTLY going to a shootout." Wrong, 10 seconds later some douche bag no-namer comes down and gets the slap shot of his career the somehow beats Nabby glove side.
Ugh. Typical. Pretty much sums up the way they have started the season though. Lackluster play and not producing any goals. I remember we ran into this problem last season. I think we pass TOO much. When the whole arena is yelling, "SHOOT IT!" I think maybe that's your cue to pop off a shot.
Anywho, I want to talk about one more thing that has been bothering me a bit lately besides the opposite sex. Bay Area Drivers + First Rain of the Year + Friday = Welcome to Gomer Pileville. Yes, it was that bad. I can't even try to describe the lack of braincells that were involved here. Bay Area drivers are pretty bad anyways, but you add those other two elements into it and you might as well just pull over off the side of the road. I mean OFF the shoulder, if there is a field to your right, DRIVE INTO THAT. Where does this link break in their brain...
Hi, the road is wet, you might want to NOT drive like a complete fucking toolbox like you normally do.
Love,
Brain (or lack-there-of)
Seriously, the state of California needs to start requiring IQ/English/Hand Eye Coordination Tests for drivers. They require it for flying a damn airplane and you are more likely to die on the way to the airport than actually in the plane. For Fucks Sake people, remove head from ass.
Deuces.
