Yes that’s right folks, hockey season is starting up. Last night I was at the Red and White game. For all of you who do not know what that is, The Red Wings come to Grand Rapids and scrimmage at The Van Andel Arena for all the the Griffins fans. I, being the dumb ass that I am, forgot to take my camera. If I would have remembered it there would be plenty of pictures on my website and photo album. Oh well, guess I’ll have to live without the picture memories.
Below is a post from my sisters journal. She is on my friends list if you want her Live Journal name.

Alive
My brother eric got into a car accident today. My mom calls me crying with a bad connection. I didn’t know what was going on for like 5 minutes. I was flipping out. I called Jason to find out what was going on. Eric was in the hospital. He had fallen asleep at the wheel out by our house. He was past where Doug grew up. It was right before a curve, he went straight into the woods. Before he hit the big tree there were a bunch of little trees that “broke his fall” I guess you would say. Thank God he had his set belt on and for the little trees. A man saw it happen and called 911, then my mom. Eric spent the day in the hospital getting CAT scans and whatever. He is fine. Just a shit load of bumps and bruises. He car is totalled. He was driving his Mazda RX 7. He just had it painted and new rims. He doesn’t get anything for it. PL/PD. He hasn’t seen it yet. I know he is going to lose it. He loved that car. I wanted to go up there so bad.
I just talked to mom and everything seems well enough. Eric is home and in a lot of pain, and will be for days. He was so hungry and wanted Taco Bell, but had to stick to a liquid diet for a day or so. He was pissed. That is Eric for ya. Always wanting to eat.

This is me now.
The other thing is that he also has a 1989 Honda. If he had been driving that, he probably would not be here today complaining about not being able to eat. There are lots of little things that saved his life.
Okay, I’m off for now. I am going to call my mom.
Yes, my computer is still broken. However I should not complain because I have done nothing to try and fix it in the past few days. I almost, yes almost, think I should not fix it. If I did that there would be problems. I pay all but two of my bills online, so with no computer it would not work. Maybe I’ll build a dummy machine and make it so that it is only fast and powerful enough to run the Internet. That way I will not have all the games and other crap that keeps me on it all the time. Also if I were to drop Linux on it I would not have the compatibility of Windows to run all that crap. ~sigh~
Theresa, my love for is never ending.
My computer at home is being stupid. I will try and fix it whenever I have spare time. For now I am sitting in class listing to Rusty.
I have returned my brother’s car to him today. I am now back to the regular sedan. Oh well, it was nice and fun while it lasted. Right now I am sitting here listen to mom talk about things.
Well anyway, I’ll be spending some time with Theresa and her family today, so that should prove to be some fun.
Yesterday I was woke up twice by the television. My roommates know that I work third shift and that I work the weekends. ~sigh~
