Ah, so it's the calm before the storm. Dammit, I really do hate using cliches. Imagine never using a single cliche. Better yet, imagine a pro athlete never using a cliche. Take Donovan McNabb, for example. That guy can talk for 10 minutes and not say anything of substance. Every sentence contains a cliche. But, I don't want to get off on a tangent here, so where were we? Oh yeah, discussing the weather. Shit, how cliche is THAT? Heh, but seriously, it is supposed to snow like nobody's business over the weekend. So it looks like I'll be stuck in my house, wishing I could drive to Wendy's because we have no food in this house. Maybe one of the 5 billion college basketball games on Saturday will be worth watching. Yeah, right. Who am I kidding? The Flyers play at night, against Carolina. Should be a good game. I'd really like to see a Roenick-Brendl collision sometime in the first period to set the tone. And hopefully, some goals! Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a well-played 1-0 or 2-1 victory as much as the next hockey purist, but is it asking too much of the team to score 3 goals once in a while? OK, this is where I need to stop and collect my thoughts, and/or go to the bathroom. tick tick tick. Alright I'm back, even though I didn't really go anywhere.

Maybe I can get about 10 hours of practice in this weekend, and by Monday I'll be a guitar warrior. OK, maybe not that last part about becoming good. But you can bet that I'll get some quality practice in. Which is like any other day in my life, since I don't have a job. But I do have an interview coming up on Wednesday. This is a great opportunity, because it is the first real interview I've gotten since graduation. What sucks about it is that I have to go there and act all confident and charming and... just social. Which I find hard to do sometimes. OK, most of the time. What I really want to do is this: walk into the interview, and after it is over, tell the guy everything about why I need this job, because if I don't find a job soon, I won't be able to pay my bills.... Well, let's stop there. I know I won't panic and do something that stupid. I've done fine with my past interviews for the co-op jobs. I get myself psyched up for the 20 or so minutes I am in the building, and then after it is all over, I revert back to the social idiot you all know and love. Perhaps I find comfort in an alcoholic beverage or 2 or 3 or 4 at the end of the day, and that's another social experience I've conquered. Then holy shit, what if I actually get the job? I won't sleep for days, man. It's funny, I got this e-mail the other day at my Drexel account, which still works for some reason. So the e-mail was one of those annoying Drexel Annoucements. I usually just delete them right away, but the subject of this message caught my eye. It said something about a social anxiety disorder, so I read it. They had to be joking, right? They had scheduled a workshop to discuss the disorder, and were inviting people to come. They were inviting very shy people, possibly with social anxiety disorder, to attend a discussion on the topic. Hey, I kind of wanted to go. But of course I didn't. And neither did so many other people who are just like me. Heh, must have been a packed house for that discussion.

Yup, what a Friday night / Saturday morning this has been. Sitting here, listening to music, watching Law & Order, playing Metal Gear (which is the single hardest game in the history of video games), eating double stuf Oreos and Cheez-Its, waiting for the snow. Hey, anybody want to guess what the top story on the news will be tomorrow? haha, like it's never snowed before.

NP: All-American Rejects

I was going to talk about this CD I'm listening to, but my opinion keeps changing, so maybe I shouldn't say anything about it yet. I suppose it was worth $9.99 though. Why did I buy it? I don't know.

So how about those Flyers? I think they played well tonight, they just couldn't get it in the net. Minnesota looked pathetic on offense. I couldn't wait to watch this Gaborik kid play, and I was disappointed to say the least. Hopefully the game on Wednesday will be better, and hopefully the Flyers can score a goal.

Speaking of disappointments, the computer show on Sunday wasn't what I was expecting. A bunch of software that I can just download or buy somewhere else, and other equipment that I would be scared to buy because it would probably stop working after a few days. Wan had the best suggestion though. He said they should have free beer at the show. I don't think that will ever happen, but if they even had $5 beers, that would be an improvement as far as I'm concerned. I had the opportunity to eat at Arby's after the show. That might not be an event in YOUR life, but in mine, it qualifies as newsworthy. If I could eat fast food everyday, I would. And I'd probably be dead in 5 years, but for some reason that doesn't seem to bother me.

I just remembered that I had a couple fantasy football teams on ESPN.com this past season. I stopped paying attention to it somewhere around week 5, so I can't wait to see how bad my teams fared. And I won the league championship last season. My heart just wasn't in it this year. Bryan Humphreys let me know recently that my fantasy hockey team is in last place. As I was watching the Flyers-Wild game tonight, Jim Jackson mentioned that it was Manny Fernandez's first game back in net since early January. I think I've had him as my goaltender the whole time he was injured.

The music is over. Maybe I'll go to bed, so I can wake up a little earlier tomorrow. Maybe not.

Now Playing (NP from here on): Deftones - Adrenaline

Wow, and I just as I write that, it ends. So, um... no music for now. Anyway, if you just couldn't wait for my second post after you read the first, then you've come to the right spot. Right now I think I will make the requisite "I will update this page everyday" statement, for the sake of tradition anyway, but I really don't see an update everyday happening. Seriously people, how can I continue to work 40 hours a week, spend quality time with my girlfriend, and post a daily script of my life? Eh? When I'm working and have a girlfriend, I'll let you know. Until then, I have plenty of time on my hands.

So I watched the Flyers-Rangers game earlier tonight. A great win for the Flyers, and a nice start for Sami Kapanen, too. Let's see, scoring the winning goal in your first game as a Flyer, at home, against the Rangers puts him on the fans good side for now. But if he goes a few games without a goal, all the Pavel Brendl "fans" we didn't know existed will come out of the woodwork. I've always liked Kapanen as a player. Getting him for Brendl is a great trade, and hopefully it will spark the team for their playoff run.

NP: 311 - Grassroots

I couldn't resist. I needed more music. Oh, by the way... if you haven't gotten the meaning of the title of this blog, then you'll just have to keep trying. It might seem trivial at first, but there really is a deeper meaning. Not really deep, mind you. Let's say, somewhat deep. - Editor's note - the title at the time of this posting was I Am The Blog Of Robbo.

Tomorrow I think I'm going to some computer show with Wan. I'm not even sure where it is. Some convention center is all I know. Be back with the scoop sometime after that.
