For once, I have no clue about my birthday

Fri, 29 Sep 2006 18:04:13 GMT

Can't beleive on Wednesday, I turn 23. For once, I don't know what I want for my birthday. I gave some ideas but all the stuff I want, doesn't come out til Christmas :( I'll live though, as long as people remember my birthday & I have a piece of chocolate cake. Not much else. For once, I'm working on my birthday, but its something I will adapt too. Anyway, off to go being confused again. Must be old man syndrome :P

Bound to happen

Danielle & I had our first arguement & did it suck. I'm not writing this on other places cause this way, it can keep quiet. Danielle was pointing out my flaws & frankly it pissed me off. I know it shouldn't, I mean I have flaws, I admit it. But it just hurts. Ever since we started dating, it has been great. I have felt great. I just feel like I'm doing what i can but it's not enough. Is this normal ? Someone help me out.

Miss me much

Thanks to the likes of summer school, I hadn't actually had time to write on LJ. Thanks to MySpace & Facebook, I feel like I have neglected a child or something like that. I am now officially addicited to the Naruto Anime. Past couple of days I have gotten from the perliminaries of the chunin exam to the 5th hokage story line. I figure I would like Naruto due to one, it's about ninjas & two it's action packed. I can see some connection to the Dragon Ball series but then again, it's not always like it. Still, Anime with action, a good story & some comedy is ok in my book. Just got dealt finishing summer school, here's hoping I pass statistics so I can no longer deal with a math course ever again. Danielle & I will celebrate 5 months in August & I start VCU again on the 24th. So yeah, things are all right I guess.

O & one more thing.
Happy birthday Krystal Jean. Much love.

Deathof the Riverdogs, Rebirth of the Renegades

Tue, 25 Apr 2006 23:03:47 GMT

Then

Although it's been clear for some time that the Richmond RiverDogs would not be around for another year, the plug officially was pulled yesterday.

The city and Richmond Coliseum, in a joint statement, announced their contract with the RiverDogs would not be renewed for the 2006-07 season.

Terms of their lease required notification about the future by the last scheduled home game (April 8) and that was extended until last weekend when the regular season came to an end. But Eric Margenau and Jay Acton, who owned the United Hockey League franchise, never bothered to inform the city or Coliseum of their intentions.

"So we called [UHL Commissioner Richard Brosal] and told him we had to move on," said Coliseum manager Dolly Vogt. "He said, 'Do what you have to do.'"

The RiverDogs lasted three seasons, winning their division the first year then failing to qualify for the playoffs the next two. They replaced the ECHL Richmond Renegades who folded following the 2002-03 campaign.

Now

RENEGADES RETURN TO RICHMOND IN SPHL

BROPHY TO COACH; GOUDIE TO BE PLAYER/ASSISTANT COACH

During a morning press conference held today at the Richmond Coliseum, Allan B. Harvie, Jr.,
President/GM of Richmond Renegades, LLC announced that his company has been successful in
obtaining an affiliation with the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) and that his new team,
the Richmond Renegades, would begin play in the SPHL for the 2006-2007 season.

The Richmond Coliseum will be home to the SPHL expansion Renegades. An “agreement in
principal” has been reached with the Coliseum, stated Harvie. “We actually only took 30 minutes to
reach a lease agreement and are awaiting the final copy from SMG corporate”, he continued. “In the
short period of time I have been dealing with the Coliseum, Dolly Vogt and her staff have been nothing
short of fantastic. They are extremely accommodating and our negotiations have been pleasant; a far cry
from when I came here in 1990. I am truly looking forward to working with Dolly and her staff. She
has already put forth several really good ideas and concepts for the season.”

Mr. Harvie also named his long time Canadian friend, and at times, hockey adversary, John
Brophy, as coach of the Renegades. Brophy coached the Hampton Roads Admirals during the years
when the Admirals and Renegades were in the ECHL and fought one of the fiercest rivalries in the
history of minor league hockey. Brophy has won more games as a coach in professional hockey than
any other coach except Scotty Bowman. He is the only coach to have ever won more than 1,000 games
as a coach and play in more than 1,300 as a player; where he amassed 4,444 penalty minutes. Brophy
currently resides in Harrisonburg, Virginia with his wife Nancy, a LPGA professional, where they
operate a successful golf facility.

Mr. Lou Corletto, a long time fixture in the Washington Capitals public relations department,
was named as Special Assistant to the President. “Lou has so much hockey knowledge and experience
that I jumped at the opportunity to have him on board. We will use his skills and contacts extensively,”
Harvie explained.

Harvie also announced that former Riverdogs defenseman, Brian Goudie, had agreed to terms
and will become player/assistant coach with the Renegades. “Coach Brophy absolutely wanted Brian on
our team”, stated Harvie. “He coached Brian as a player in Norfolk and has long admired his skills,
determination and real commitment to his teammates and fans. Brian expressed a desire to become a
coach and there’s no better coach in the world to learn from than Brophy”.

The Renegades first employee is Tracy Hynes who was an employee with the original Renegades
in 1990. Tracy takes on the duties of Director of Community and Public Relations/Group Sales. In her
capacity Tracy will be the liaison between the community and the team, particularly with player
appearances. She will handle group ticket sales and, during, the season will be the specific contact for
season ticket holders and sponsors. “Tracy has really gained tremendous experience since we last
worked together. She has amassed considerable marketing skills though her work at AMF, Family Golf
and, most recently, the Children’s Museum. We are extremely fortunate that Tracy was willing to jump
on board”, stated Harvie. Tracy lives with her husband, Doug, and their three children, in Glen Allen.

The Renegades logo and jerseys were unveiled. The logo features a mean looking black bearded
pirate with a three-point hat featuring the original R logo from the 1990 Renegades. The pirate has a
patch over his left eye “in deference to John and I as neither of us can see from our left eye”, said Harvie
and a gold upper tooth. The word RENEGADES scrolls along the bottom of the logo. The team colors
are gold and royal blue. In a first for a Richmond team, the custom home jersey is not white but gold
with royal blue trim while the away custom jersey is royal blue with gold trim. The shoulder patch
features the original R logo.

Harvie noted that he took a different approach to ownership when forming his company,
Richmond Renegades, LLC. “I had several friends, who were also fans, approach me and ask if they
could become a part of the team, so we formed an ownership group. They also wanted to make sure that
hockey remained in Richmond and pledged not only their financial support but their skills and
knowledge as well. Aside from Harvie, the ownership group is currently made up of five couples, two of
who are long time supporters of Richmond hockey; Tim and Deb Riley of Fredericksburg and Scott and
Chris VanLue, also of Fredericksburg. The other members are John and Miyuki Edwards of
Chesapeake, Mark and Trish Newell of Chesapeake and Dan and Kristy Putnam of Salt Lake City. Each
of these owners holds a 4.95% interest in the team with Harvie owning the balance. “There may be
others joining us in the near future”, stated Harvie “but I will always maintain a majority interest never
dropping below 50.5%”.

The Renegades website will become activated today with a temporary splash page. The web
address is www.rrenegades.com . The Renegades phone number will be published later in the week.
Information for season tickets, group sales, sponsors and advertisers will be available at the site. Harvie
stated that he expected to be in his Coliseum offices “by weeks’ end” and fully operational by the
middle of next week.

I'm in love

Fri, 07 Apr 2006 20:27:59 GMT

O MY GOD!!!!!! Everyone was right, love happens when you least expect it & it did. I have never felt this happy in a long long time. Her name is Danielle, we did a lot of stuff together. Held hands, flirted, and actually kissed. Mouth to mouth. I had my first kiss today, o my god, it was tasty :) It feels awesome. Danielle & I have so much in common that it's not even funny. I really have a good feeling about this. I really do, for once things are looking up.

Somedays, you can't take it

Thu, 06 Apr 2006 02:12:28 GMT

You ever have that feeling like you just want to give up on school, work, all of that & just be like, leave me the fuck alone? Yeah, that's how I kinda feel right now. My emotions & feelings are just God awful. OK, maybe not that awful but I'm just tired of things I have to deal with in life. Sometimes, I just want it to end, I want everything the way it was. Of course, doubt it'll happen but I can dream right?

People want an update milord

Wed, 29 Mar 2006 00:19:03 GMT

Well where to begin? Other than the madness that is VCU. Right now, I just got finished with my classes for the day & I'm beat. Right now, things are just winding down @ VCU, almost a month left, scary eh? Most of these things are almost done but I got some last minute things to do, mainly projects (shrughs) Seriously, most of my teachers have said April will be the worst month ever. Other than that, ran into Sam who is a friend of mine from high school. SO it was a very pleasant surprise. Anyway, I'm beat, leave some love.

Tue, 21 Mar 2006 04:27:42 GMT

right now, things are looking bad. I have so much crap to deal with, it's not even funny. I feel like I can't get anything done. I'm either worn out by work or I'm too damn lazy. Especially with my book report due Friday, I'm feeling like I'm not doing enough. I just feel tired from all the shit. Especially with my mom making me feel worse by not doing well. I know she means well, but it truly is not helping. I'm just so fucking worn out right now.

Might as well, while I have free time

Mon, 06 Mar 2006 20:10:06 GMT

Well, it seems really weird, just had my first mid-term but that is nothing new. Right now, it feels like everyone has dropped off the face of the earth, including myself. Plus on Friday my dad has surgery for Skin Cancer (see that's how long it has been since I have been to update) with work & school what time have I had(other than procrastinating) I'm just looking forward to break, I can focus on my book report and relax. I just wish I could contact my friends right now espcially someone who must be REALLY BUSY but I figured, she has had some issues, how the hell should I know? I just miss her. As I stated my dad has skin cancer, good news it is an early form of it so it is not as bad. But still, thoughts and prayers help. My next exam is tomorrow for Comm Tech then I have a breather on Wednesday, but then have my anthropology exam on Thurs & Math is on Fri. As soon as I get done with history, I'm going to the hospital to see dad. Anyway, off to study. Later dorks

Well, bloodwork is done

Mon, 20 Feb 2006 19:47:14 GMT

Good news & Bad news situation:

Good news, I got my bloodwork done for the year & I've now down to 264 pounds.

Bad news, the antibiotic I'm taking, could affect damage to my liver (lovely) so I gotta get blood work done the next 2 months while I am on the medicene. So I go back in April. But I did pretty well. Don't like the fact that the meds can fuck up my liver. Some how, I had a feeling something like this would happen.

What to do....

Fri, 17 Feb 2006 19:40:40 GMT

Right now, things are just blah, blah. I honestly wish things wer elooking up, I just hate the fact I can't, but it's more of a can't or won't. Feeling overworked is nothing new in my life. It really isn't. This week has been rather more bad than good. I'm hardly wokring but the days I do work, were on days I rushed home to get there. Wish I can get out but I got a lot of work to do. Mainly essays... So much pressure but I'll live.

DAMMIT!!!!!

Thu, 16 Feb 2006 21:45:07 GMT

I got hit with a one 2 punch as soon as I got home. Huge ass bills, plus with grades not exactly looking my way, I'm worrying about academic probation, things aren't going my way this week. Dammit, I'll be glad when this f'n week will be over.

Man, I miss SWAT Kats

Thu, 16 Feb 2006 00:52:50 GMT

I am Dark Kat.
I'm a super-sized evil genius with odd fashion sense. I want to control everything I set eyes on, and I'm not afraid to utilize my prodigious intellect to attain my goals. Most people think I'm scary.

Who would you be? What SWAT Kats Bad Guy Are You? on Strike's SK Zone.

Somewhat of an update

Sat, 11 Feb 2006 19:45:48 GMT

Well, I'm getting better when it comes to VCU, somewhat. I also lost 3 pounds from all the walking i've been doing, so that helps :) . Tues & Thurs are cool now that I have someone to eat with (thanks Jeanne). Well, the one day that is coming up I just wish would go away, that's right Valentine's day. As usual, it's gonna suck because it falls on Tuesday, my long day. But also, I have no one to celebrate it with. But hell, this has happened for the past 5 years so I'm use to it. Anyway, I got stuff to do so, later

Interesting.....

Wasted Years

Thu, 02 Feb 2006 00:19:37 GMT

Well, in some ways, I can relate to this song.
Wasted Years by Cold

There's a game life plays
makes you think you're everything they ever said you were
Like to take some time
Clear away everything I planned

[Chorus]
Was it life I betrayed
for the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
it's not easy to win
did I drink too much
could I disappear
and there's nothing that's left but wasted years

There's nothing left but wasted years

If I could change my life
Be a simple kind of man try to do the best I can
if I could see the signs
I'd derail every path I could
now I'm about to die
won't you clear away from me
give me strength to fly away

[Chorus]

There's nothing left but wasted years

Was it life I betrayed
for the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
it's not easy to win
