Right Side, Weak Side

today's birthday annoucement!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VINCE!


you know how they say "Left Side, STRONG side" in Remember the Titans? yeah..right side, weak side is the motto for me. i keep getting injured on my right side..ok well my left brow got busted open a week and a bit ago..but yeah...anyway...

i'm injured, once again. on Thursday, if you read the post, i wrote that i kinda tweaked my groin. that groin is healed now. it wasn't as severe as i thought it was. it was fine by Saturday, so i was able to play some hockey on Saturday night.

so yeah, played hockey on Saturday night, and that was fun. Vince, Silas, and Joel came to watch, while Phil and Oliver played. i gotta practice on my puckhandling skills. groin felt fine afterwards. so that's good news! :D

fast forward to tonight. i went to play some intramural volleyball. it was the competitive league, and yet again, i'm playing in the C league. it's the lowest level of play aside from the rec league. we had a doubleheader tonight too. played the first match and won both games we played and won the match. played the 3rd game for fun. just rallying and stuff.

anyway, getting ready for our next match. we were just warming up, and i went up for a block. came down kinda stepping on a teammates foot and yeah..SPRAINED my ankle. omg, i've never felt so much pain in my life! i was slamming my hand on the ground, i got up only to go back down..holy crap! i thought i broke my ankle! i was in serious pain. normally, i'd be swearing my head off if i was in lots of pain, but i wasn't. but yeah, some of my teammates quickly got some ice for me and helped me to the sidelines. i had to fill out an injury report form (whoa the first time i'd ever had to fill something like that out). but yeah...this sucks!

a little later, my friend Adam, who's on my hockey team, came into the gym to get ready for his game after ours. he saw me, and he's like.."why? what happened? we need you on the ice man!" lol...*sigh* yeah, i highly doubt i can play this Thursday. SUCKS man! i wanna play! but health first, play second.

so yeah, right now a buddy of mine, Eric, whom i used to live with back in the days of 95 Columbia St., is doing me a huge favour and getting me some crutches for this week. very nice of him to do this for me. oh yeah, on a side note. 95 Columbia is a FRAT how now! what the heck? there's like this big blue EX symbol on the front of the house! how bizarre is that? lol! that crappy yellow shack is a frat house! HAHAHA!!

so let's count the injuries i've had in the past little while!
  • Sept. 24 - door in face, busted open over left brow
  • Sept. 30 - hockey, strained right groin, bruised right shin, tight right calf
  • Oct. 3 - volleyball, sprained ankle
what's next?


anyway, different topic now..this weekend, i played a lot of X-Men Legends with my brother. we're making pretty good progress in the game. we got stuck a few times, but there's nothing like the Internet to help us out! lol! so yeah..but now we're stuck on another part. my brother's gonna have to wait until the next time i go home to figure that puzzle out. haha!

anyway, time to freeze that ankle!
