New House

So this week's post is a little off-topic and mostly a curiosity type post.

I'm currently looking for a new place to live. I love the downtown area and would love to stay around there. But I'm noticing that the places that i really like are little more expensive than I'm willing to pay. Not because i don't think they're worth it... More because I know that i can find comparable places in other great areas for less. Outside of Living in the immediate downtown area, I also wouldn't mind being in the East town or even the West Side / Walker areas.

The biggest issues I'm having in this are the parameters for which I'm looking. One, I would like to have a place that is good for kids, in both the actual place and the neighborhood it sits in. Two, I like to have my easy commute to work that right now is easy on-easy off of the Hi-Way. Third, My girlfriend does not currently have a car, and transportation for her to and from work would largely depend on the bus lines.

I guess I'm asking if anyone has any good or great suggestions on places that are either available for rent, or for sale at reasonable prices?

Practice - 9/22

So, we had another practice without ice today. It's starting to get a little annoying. It's far past the frustrating stage that I thought would consume most of my feelings for it. We are hoping to have ice in the next week, which would be great. But at this point, it's becoming a little hard to believe.

Either way, Conditioning went well. I was hoping to see more of a true leader step forward in the conditioning aspect. Hopefully, one will emerge. I think it's always easier for young men to motivate themselves when a peer shows great self-motivation. They worked hard, though. And it makes me wonder if I'm pushing them too hard. It's sad to think that since neither Juan or I ever had it this easy. It is, however, easy to see that none of them have ever had it this hard.

We ran through some basic sets and I'm now in the process of fully transitioning these players from Roller to Ice. I now think that it won't be as hard as I once believed. They watch enough ice and understand the rules better than we gave them credit for. I think as soon as I have the chance to show them the true ins and outs of the game, it will come quickly.

First Blog

Hey there folks! This is me entering the virtual world of blogging! I've been told numerous times by several people that i should start a blog. I imagine that it's because I'm pretty stupid but tend to be fairly colorful. I would hope it's more because I tend to be insightful and have an interesting point of view on numerous topics.

Whichever the case for you, I'm glad that you've decided to listen to me rant. I promise I will do my best to make it entertaining at the very least!

I am planning on making at least one new entry a week, but hope to make several. I already foresee me blogging after every practice. But those will primarily be for my own benefit, to keep tabs on things we do, how we do things, and what we need to work on. Outside of that, I hope to make one entertaining or argumentative blog a week.

I look forward to hearing from you all!
