Rep Retirement Lodge 95: A USCHO Retrospective

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 95: A USCHO Retrospective

Next year:

OK... the list is generally too long to actually be accomplished but...

1) Get into shape... see Diet and Exercise thread 2010

2) Learn the area. As soon as I get my bike (April/March... depends on hockey season) I want to know this area so I can be the cool guy who knows where things are.

3) Develop one or two hobbies. I need some hook to be interesting. Every guy around here seems to have at least one incredible hook in their life... I need to come up with something that sets myself different from the pack because while being a scientist is different its not particularly interesting unless you work with rockets or sharks. I have a few books floating around... but we'll see what I get the time to do. Biking may end up being one hobby... I picked up (via xmas list) a book on comedy writing... who knows what else I might find as an interest.

4) Work on my fashion sense. No reason I shouldn't go out there and put my best foot forward... I'm a gregarious, intelligent, respectable guy... no reason I shouldn't reflect that.

5) Present myself with more confidence. As I've got deeper into my discipline and more uncertain in my life I express everything I do with in a larger degree of wavering and uncertainty. I've been learning the philosophy of mathematical weasel language because in Statistics there is, by and large, always an out either due to conflicting models which only bear themselves out with (inconceivably) large amounts of data or due to assumptions in the underlying phenomena and data. This means I end up seeing the "maybe maybe not" side to everything... which means that I bleed out confidence any time I speak about something... especially after this past (academic) year where I had everything go some degree of wrong in major parts of my life. I need to be comfortable with taking certain, but possibly incorrect, decisions. I need to stop being such an academic and not worry about quibbling maybes in life. You know, when I'm confident with my life I reflect the high level intelligent human that I know I am. When I have confidence I KNOW I can accomplish just about anything. I've been without confidence for almost my entire college career... imagine if I did have confidence throughout.

6) This is a blanket resolution that i hope for every year and I'm too afraid to do myself. Just be flat out better with women... be comfortable in talking to them... hell... i can't get myself to complement a woman for her looks (wanted to last night... got chicken). Each year I tell myself that this is the year I find a girlfriend... one of these years I'll mean it. Next week I turn 28 and I'm still single, eternally dateless, and a bunch of other items I'm disappointed to admit. I'm a great guy and I know I can make some girl happy and i know I can be real fun when I'm in a positive groove. I really hope that if I can get better with 1-5 then 6 will follow.

I think that's it for now.

Happy New Year Lodge

I really only have one resolution actually for 2010 and that is find a job

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 95: A USCHO Retrospective

Thanks, and to Twitch too.

I don't think that RPI has ever had a female student post while she was a student. In addition, I can only think of one female alum who posts on occasion. (She played on the women's team back when it was D-III.) We do have other female fans who post, including currently the mother of a recruit.

The one female RPI fan that was there this week made a point to come over to me and say that it was nice to have another girl around.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Was that too loud?

Yes. Pass the tylenol, please. My system currently hates me for all the drinking I've done this week.

As for resolutions, 2009 was a pretty decent year for me, so my only resolution is to find a way to top it.

I need to make some lunch. Grilled cheese sandwich or Bagel Bites?

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 95: A USCHO Retrospective

I do a little more digging... look at her pictures....
It's Quasi!!!!!

If there ever was a ringer for a rugby team.....


So I get a call from my bro last night, he was at his inlaws celebrating NYE, and he tells me this little story. They're all drunkskied. They order pizza, and when the guy shows up, my brother answers, and in his dead-on Forrest Gump voice says, "I got my magic shoes on; they can take me anywhere." and runs out to the yard and runs in circles. The pizza guy was truly puzzled at wt* he was witnessing.

Edit: Scarlet: make grilled cheese with the bagel bites.

Did they wind up still having to pay for the pizza?

Don't want to do both. Too much cheese, especially since I'm snacking on cheese and crackers right now.

Yeah, which was unfortunate. I hadn't heard my brother that drunk in a long time. He was bla-ha-haaaasmed.

Then I'd say save the bagel bites for a mid-day snack.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 95: A USCHO Retrospective

I just destroyed 3/4 of a large pizza. That could be an option, too.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 95: A USCHO Retrospective

Given its location, would this party in fact be a Party in the USA?

Idiot DJ at The Pub last night played that. I think my cousin was about ready to throw something at him. her 6 year old would have loved it.

Wine pong with arbor mist, then went out to find more wine (after 5 of us went through 4 bottles), but nowhere was open. We stayed classy and got seagrams from walmart.

Don't hate.

Dominoes new pizza is pretty **** good, if I say so myself.

Happy new year lodge =]

Please turn in your man card.....

Agreed.....

I didn't choose it. I blame my now female friends for this choice.

Umm.... the only time you should be drinking arbor mist is if its a gaurented going to get you laid deal, or while in the act of getting laid.

Dungeons and Dragons

My new year wasn't too interesting... slipped on down to a near by bar... its a good place but its a sports bar so any girl that comes in is part of a couple and when you place that on top of my "sit at the bar, don't talk to anyone, and then move around staying just far away from the dance floor that i hope I get noticed but not so close where I crap myself". I've gotta change that in 2010.

Yeah, I went to a bar in Adrian with my cousin and her husband and friends. Ok place for a night out, but eh, the crowd just didn't feel NYE to me. That, and it was kinda dangerously close to being a sausage fest there. Especially after a catfight broke out between these two Mexican chicks.

Happy New Year, Lodge!

Happy New Year. Let's hear the resolutions. Spare no details.

Only have one resolution: get out of my parents' house once and for all.

I need to make some lunch. Grilled cheese sandwich or Bagel Bites?

Sandwich. Always.

Ran the Sgt. Preston 6-mile this morning in 1:05:26. As for Block House Hill... it only sounds scary. Once I climbed it, it was a fairly quick descent and I was on flat land for the rest of the race.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 95: A USCHO Retrospective

Off to Magness Arena shortly for the Denver holiday games. Today's slate is: BC versus Saint Lawrence and Denver versus Nebraska-Omaha. Neb-O versus Saint Lawrence and Denver versus BC tomorrow.

Started the New Year off with a lunch that included black-eyed-peas [it's a bit of Cajun good luck/superstition from my wife's side of the family]. Gorgeous day here in Denver to start the year. Been getting my fill of first of the year bowl games this afternoon after hitting the gym this morning.

I hope everyone had fun last night, made it home safely, isn't feeling too badly at present and gets to see their favorite team in action this weekend. Have a good weeknd and Happy New Year to all LODGEONIANS near and far.

Cheer for SLU for me? Since they aren't playing the Pioneers, it would be appreciated

Considering the year is one day old, that's a safe bet.

Conversely, today is also the warmest day of the year.

Ya gotta love a Grand Forks weather forecast. Yesterday - low of 7 below, wind chill of 10 to 25 below. They called it "brisk".

That is awesome. I spent the greater part of the evening talking in a very thick, very slurred southern drawl. Also, we did our usual midnight sledding run, which wasn't as fast as usual because we got about 5 inches of snow between the point people started getting there and when we headed out. And, when I decided I was ready for bed, I said, "I'll be right back", went in to what used to be my room, and laid down on the floor and was promptly out like a light. Thankfully, between FM and my mom I ended up with a pillow and covered up, but I woke up at 7am very confused and with a very sore back.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 95: A USCHO Retrospective

Sounds like Sloe and aSaaG are seeing a good game between BC and SLU: 2-2 end 2, SLU has battled back from being down 2-0 in the second with a SHG and a goal right after a PP.

I have temporarily disabled my man card as per my actions last night.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 95: A USCHO Retrospective
