finally everyone's christmas presents are finished. not very on top of that this year. oh well. the weather is really screwing up things. not just christmas, but people's relationships. causing stress here and there. its the awkward in between where u could possibly travel, but there might be a risk. being that there is a past in my family with black ice, you would think people would opt out of the travel. apparently not. near-death is not convicting enough for some people. opening gifts is more important. too much stress/fighting this holiday. too many tears shed for the wrong reasons. not enough love.

played some hockey the other night. ugh, so out of shape. it was fun, but def a lil disheartening. i wish i was better. i wish i played more, was more in practice. oh well. i really love that sport. i'm not even sure why, since i'm not even that good at it. it's just something i have a really strong passion for. fun to see some of the guys. haven't seen them since christmas time last year. not much has changed. same ol' guys, same ol' game ... that's how it is in a small town tho, things don't change too much. part of that is why i had to get out of this place, but there are times it's comforting to come home to.
