Fall is here

Hey everybody,

With the Leaves turning yellow and falling, the temperature dropping from highs of 25 last week to highs of 10-15 this week, its definitly fall here in Calgary. luckily the snow hasnt fallen yet and its still sunny all day it seems, not a bad start to fall actually. another sign of fall hockey starting up, times getting busier (youth, school, soccer etc) and the turkeys at the supermarkets. hmm turkey. thanksgiving is now less than a week away, a time when we are thankful for all that we have been blessed with. I am thinking as I write this, but for people who don't believe in God, when you are thankful for something (like being born in a safe enviroment, free from the worries in third world countries, for example) who are you thanking? i mean, you're probably glad, but if there isnt God, your just lucky or something...anyways i digress. I am thankful that God has blessed me with the people in my life and everything I have (or have access to) including my health, and the experiences I have been able to have so far in life, and probably more I can't think of.

a little update on me. Ive been busy the last few weeks, going to youth events and 4c, doing wingnights with the guys, playing poker with friends, doing homework and a saturday morning quiz (really!?!) watching football and hockey with friends, listening to music, working... you get the idea. last week I had my first soccer game with my team in the Calgary sport and social club indoor soccer league, it was lots of fun. I realized how out of shape I am, but I did manage to score a goal and we won 3-2. fun times.

I bought a new mp3 last weekend, out of necessity, kind of (like when you want something and get used to having it, when it goes away, it almost becomes a need). After going to see a movie (Get Smart, funny movie) with Caleb and Matthias, I was at home and couldnt find my Mp3 player anywhere, I bought it in November last year (oddly enough, out of necessity after the previous one fell out of a pocket, needing some music for the 4 hour plane ride to Toronto for the Grey cup). anyways that mp3 lasted really well, making it to Australia, being dropped several times (benefits of a flash mp3, harder to break!) and some more drops back home. anyways this one must have fallen out of my pocket, the next morning (a friday) i looked everywhere and retraced my steps, no luck. went to school, came home, no music, which was actually fine. some good thinking/reading time on the train, and some prayer time as i walked home. that night I went to youth, we had a good time. saturday morning i did some research and decided to buy a new one. I ended up going for a Microsoft Zune, 8gb. it has a touch pad (better functionality than a scroll wheel, imo) and its own program, like itunes. its pretty sweet, ive been enjoying it. hopefully this one lasts me a little longer.

also I have updated my Sports blog, link on the right.
