Lightning Flik

*shrugs* Meh... I just figured someone who was thinking of picking him in this round might get mad that I took their pick. Besides, I can slide him into one of the IL positions I have pick up who I was originally planning on drafting in this round, as I doubt he'll be picked before the final round is over.

66 gets the 66th spot? Ok, that's just a little cheesy.

I don't remember seeing you cover it Al (but I'm obvious you have and I've missed the thread)... Eric Gagne.

Well this explains why I continually said I had fixed the problem... Yeesh... Blame Al for reminding me this guy was still on the board. Crimson Storm draft T. J. Ford.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to take this moment to congradulate the NBA H2H 2004-2005 league members as there is only one final round left in the draft. Amazing job people.

WTF?! I've had to change that damn thing three times now. This is starting to annoy me.

Better make sure you take the right gimp. You've only got two picks left.

I wa thinking of taking Hill. But I kinda figured he'd go sooner rather than later, so I'll just take my backup plan. Besides, there's other guys I should get first.

I will as I'm a fan of hockey. Sure, it hurts that I won't get to see the stars of the NHL, but hey. You never know. Maybe we'll get a crop of new stars that will make up for the loss. So if that's what happens, I'm ok with it.

If the Oilers Organization were doing something like that, I'd definitely attend. And no offense, but is it just me, or as this drags on, the PA just killing themselves? I mean, I honestly am losing what little support I'm willing to give them the more this drags on.

Had to call it CW. I'm sorry. Hopefully you got your guy at least.

It is now past 1pm EST, October 14th. Cena's Writer's pick is now forfeit for one turn. Currently on the clock is Smell the ratings. He has until 1 am EST, October 15th to make his pick. After Smell the ratings, it will revert back to Cena's Writer (unless Cena's Writer does not make a pick again), then regular draft order.

...dammit. I probably would even lose more points admitting that I changed my lovebird's name from Eggnog (store's name for her) to Coco, eh?

The Game of the Week is the Battle of the Fli©ks.

I've been homeless and hungry, so I'm really not going to offer a ton on this since you're posting this from your pc presumably after or during your daily classes. Other than that you've got a long way down to go before it's the worst it can be. That said, I do fully understand and empathize with your situation because it's far from ideal. You're just paying your dues. And you named your dog wookie...minus 10 million points to you. Well I thank you at least for being nice about this. And yes, I'm definitely better off than most people, I ain't complaining about that. Just as you pointed out, the situation isn't the best... Nice guess that I'm posting during college classes (actually, during my breaks). And dammit, I didn't get a choice on the dog's name. It came home with my parents and they were like "we named our dog, Wookie, cause he looks like one." Yet the dog ends up thinking I'm his master. I'm not that good at poker. Decent enough, but not good enough to play with money on the line.

Life sucks, but it's hardly hell for you right now, although I get the feeling that you were half joking there anyway. Wait until you're homeless and hungry before talking it up that far. Oh no, you got plenty of reassurances from me. I just haven't yet fallen back on annotating *hugz* and explicitly tried to placate you. In a nutshell though, things are not as bad as they feel. Of course nobody is unique in feeling that it is when a shit storm happens. You have the capacity to care for yourself and those around you, so you have options. It's just a matter of clearing the haze out and getting to it once your luck and circumstance starts to improve. I was joking, as God has far better people than I that He should assist. I'm just the run of the mill guy who's just frustrated. I was more meaning reassurances that everything would work out in the end Thumbtack. You more or less have just been supportive, yet not conceding that "all will be well", which is the opposite of what Shoes Head has been implying is what all I want. And no, I don't want a hug or something from anyone. My puppy, Wookie, does that enough nowadays. Just wanted to get this off my chest and move on. I wasn't really planning on spilling my life problems in this thread. Just explain why I'm down and see if anyone's been at the point I'm at.

Well, I guess I'll just have to start working more hours and get smacked later for it. And I was really hoping God would show up. It would be a nice to see the Almighty One, after I get through hell. ...hm... Let's see anywhere in my first post state that I'm the only one that has a problem? No there isn't. Maybe if you read it, you would see that. My first reply to you, ok, I'll admit wasn't very nice, but put up a post like that, how were you expecting me to respond to something like that? And I didn't want truthful responses? You didn't happen to read my posts with Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye. Did I get reassurances from him? No. Yet, he was at least more sensible about answering than you have been. I've never had family reunions like yours. I've only been to three, and mine were all happy and stuff. Even if some people's lives weren't doing well, everyone had a good time. I'm not trying to compare. I just wanted to get this off my chest. Hell, I didn't even really want to get into why life is down on me.

I just watched TSN's Hot Seat concerning the NHL and NHLPA. I gotta say that I'm just blown away by what was revealed. The NHL's rep pretty much has gone out on the limb stating they will bring in replacement players next season. The NHLPA's rep pretty much stated that they don't give a damn about the regular player and only gives a damn about the stars. I was blown away by the stupidity of both, but even more so that the NHLPA's rep with what he stated, as that has killed off what support fans were willing to give to the players.

Nope, I'm stuck in my course. I have to go through with it, or I pay everything back. That's what I've been told. There's no choice about it. As for karma... If after all this, I get out of it, there better be like God standing at my graduation podium giving me my diploma and telling me the rest of my life is a cinch. Anything less than that, and I'll be thoroughly put out.

Yeah... Change my overall record to 4-1, like my NFC record.

Voshon Lenard is drafted by the Crimson Storm.

Maybe I put importance into these physical things, because, dammit. I won't get them fucking back, nor does it make me feel better thinking "just 8-10 months more and you'll get a high paying job" when there's not really a fucking guarentee I'll get one. Nor will getting some of those things back really be the same as when I first had them. The reason I'm in this position is because my father got demoted* and so his hours aren't around the 40 a week he used to get, my mom's disability checks haven't started coming in**, my sister's trying to complete high school herself, and I've been told by the government's student finance "sorry, you can't get a fucking job, or we deduct you student finance and you have to pay that back to us immediately". * - My father's union (with the backing of the shareholders) is getting a pay increase to all employees and back pay from the time this new union agreement should've been in place (three years ago). So my father can possibly get a ton of money in back pay, so they are trying to get him to quit really. ** - We keep getting run around.

Atlanta Falcons (Lightning Flik) 3-2 <PF: 36, PA: 36, AFC: 0-0, NFC: 4-1, DIV: 1-0> Interesting. My overall record is 3-2, yet my NFC record is 4-1... I'm kidna amazed that these two stats can be so different, when I've only played 5 games, and they were all against the NFC.

If it bothers so many people, I'll just stop posting about my life in general, so that everyone doesn't have to have another angsty post. I seriously didn't know it bothered people that fucking much. My apologizes.

Who's being shallow, bitch? That kkk Bowl II trophy would look great in your room, and it sounds like you need some decorating material. And when you can't get a job right out of school, you're going to be 20x more pissed than you are now because you made all these sacrifices for naught -- I know. I've been there... Well then, if there's a trophy this means, I must have it at all costs. And I kinda figured that my sacrifices won't matter in one bit. Which pisses me off more. I always vent on TSM... And this is a sin, how? Don't like me talking about my life, just shut up bitch, and don't read this thread.
