He shoots, he... he... scores?

Well, tonight, Aaron Shaw somehow convinced me to spend 78 dollars on NHL 11. Personally, I think they are charging way too much for it. The new features are pretty sweet, such as the new face-off maneuvers and the hip checking. However, the passing is pretty bad and the difficulty, as in the 09 title, is still ridiculous. Like really, if you can't even score one goal, what's the point of playing? The greatest part of the game is the return of the multiple players in season mode. For some reason, the took it out in NHL 09. Anyways, the game is still pretty good and the graphics are great. Hopefully I'll get better sometime soon or there will be much controller throwing in the near future.

You Blink and It's Gone

Wow, I can't believe I have posted since Switchfoot! Time flies... High school is now over and the creature that is university has taken over. Although I don't like to admit it, high school wasn't all that bad. I mean, it wasn't the greatest thing in the world but so far, it beats UNB. I'm not enjoying the whole university scene, maybe it'll grow on me.

My one goal for university is to not procrastinate. Not sure if that will happen but we'll just have to see :P Anyways, as for my summer, it was pretty sweet. The highlight, obviously Rush in Toronto, was UNBELIEVABLE! They opened with The Spirit of Radio, one of the best songs of the night. Of course, Neil Peart's drum solo was flawless and the shredding between Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee was incredible. The rest of the summer was mostly spent in the basement, other than the trip to PEI with my Mom's side of the family. Well, I'll be trying to post at least once a week, if university doesn't kill me first.

Peace out suckas!

It's Been a While!

Hey Everyone,

Sorry about my month hiatus, things have been really busy! The last month has definitely had it's ups and downs. I was sick pretty much all of January and that brought down my mood a lot. But the weekend before exams, everything changed. On the 23rd of January, me, Aaron Shaw, Jesse Reid, Mitch Stevens and John Sherwood drove down to Montreal to see Switchfoot. It was freaking amazing! A band called Paper Tongues opened the show. They aren't my style but I still really enjoyed them. The singer was excellent. But Switchfoot just blew me away! The show started off with everyone but Jon Foreman on stage. As the music started, Jon Foreman appeared in the crowd. They played through Hello Hurricane from start to finish and then played some of their classics. During Bullet Soul, Jon Foreman walk into the crowd and started dancing. I was pretty much right beside me! And after that, there was a double encore! And on the last song, Meant to Live, Jon Foreman went crowd surfing and I got to hold him up! He has a really sweaty back, just sayin' :P The trip made my life!

Exams went pretty well and my report card was good. This semester didn't start off too great but I'm getting a free period 3rd period so it'll all be better :)

Well, that's enough blabbering on for now, I'm going to try to update regularly but it depends on how busy life gets. Good bye for now!

P.S. I apologise for all the exclamation marks.

That's All Folks!

Well, the Christmas days are over and they've been loaded with fun. Yesterday was the annual Wood family Boxing Day party. We had around 25 people throughout the day, less than usual but still pretty good. I pretty much just ate lots of chips and played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 most of the day. Later on, Mr. Aaron Shaw and Mitchell Stevens came over and we played some Rock Band 2 with my brother. When Mitch left, me and Aaron played Jenga and owned it up! Then, we played Connect 4, and I pretty much destroyed him, despite what he might say ;) And today, I had to play drums at Crosspoint for Jeff Ingersoll because he had to work. I had short notice but still felt I played fairly well. After church, I went out to Wendy's with the guys and played Catan afterwards. Right now, I'm chilling with Carlie Dunbar so I should probably end my post for the day.

Hope all your Christmases were awesome!

Christmas, what a day!

Yeehaw! Another Christmas has come and gone my friends and it was a great one. I spent lots of time with my loved ones and gained about 10 pounds. I didn't sleep a whole lot last night but that didn't stop me from having a fun filled day. So, I got the Memphis ride I asked for and it's sweet. I didn't have time to sit down and jam on the kit today, nor will I tomorrow so I'll definitely have to on Sunday. I also received Connect 4 and Jenga, Season 5 of The Office, Funny People and some randoms. Oh and I got a plethora of hoodies. But anyways, enough about the gifts. Brunch was delicious as usual (yay sticky buns) and Christmas dinner was as well. I finally got to have some heavenly pie after waiting since last Christmas. I would explain to you what heavenly pie is but I'm not quite sure what it's made of, only my grandmother knows. I'll have to convince her to give me the recipe sooner than later. After supper, I played some air hockey, Deal or No Deal, Scrabble Slam and Jenga with some of my family, it was tons of fun. Well, I hope everyone's Christmas is what they hoped it would be and I can't wait for next year. And remember kids, don't spray silly string in peoples eyes, it hurts!

Merry Christmas!

Oh Sweet Christmas Eve!

Yes, Christmas is only hours away. Tonight was awesome! Supper was everything I was hoping it would be: chicken balls, fried rice, beef and broccoli, chicken chow mien, honey garlic ribs and much more. It was delicious! I went back for more but it was cleaned out unfortunately. After dinner, we sang some Christmas carols, played a yankee swap type game and my Grammy Wood read The Night Before Christmas to the whole family. After all of this, I left to visit Carlie and her family. They did their present opening tonight since John has to work at 5 tomorrow morning. We had some laughs as we opened our presents. I received The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll from John and Lisa (Carlie's parents), 30 Seconds to Mars' new album This is War (YES!!!!!!!) and a piggy bank that counts the money for you from Carlie and a $30.00 gift certificate for Tony's Music Box from the whole Dunbar family. I'm very grateful for all of these gifts. Tomorrow shall be another exciting day full of cheer, good food and family. Well, I guess that's all for tonight. I'll update all you readers on tomorrows events, well, tomorrow.

Merry Christmas!

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear

Christmas Eve is just around the corner and I couldn't be more excited! Tonight at the Playhouse was awesome! Even though the weather was iffy, the turnout was still pretty big. Our Christmas caroling was better than I expected but our first attempt was a little shaky. The crowd didn't seem to mind so it's all good. I thought the time before and between the services was going to be dull but the antics of the little kids kept me busy. My cousin Christopher kept trying to run out of the green room so most of my time was used keeping him there. Hopefully next year, I'll get to play drums during the show. Anyways, it's getting late and tomorrow is going to be a busy day full of shoveling (ugh!), eating awesome food and spending time with loved ones.

Merry Christmas!
