Well this weekend flew by for me, it was a 3 day weekend cuz I didn't have school to go to today, which was nice. Especially considering I have my end of the module test that willl last 3 days. We will be responsible for installing Server 2000, configuring it to be a DNS, DHCP, FTP and I'm sure another type of server that I'm forgetting to put down. It will also be a chore because we will have to upload a webpage we created (or at least supposed to that I haven't finished yet) and send it over the network. Oh joy.
This weekend was pretty quiet, friday I went over to Marie's place to hang out for a bit with Kathy before we headed on over to a hockey game to watch in Anaheim featuring a bright young star to come named Alexander Ovechkin. The kid is 20 years old, and the skills he possess are truly amazing. He ended up scoring a hat trick (3 goals for non hockey peeps) and won the game 3-2 over the Ducks.
Saturday wasn't much more exciting, watched a bit of football, then in the evening watched the Kings get destroyed by Buffalo 10-1. Yes, 10-1, that isn't a typo. What made it worse was having to catch a bunch of hell from my good friend PJ, whom I've known since 7th grade and was born and raised in Buffalo, about the loss. Oh well, he knows if the Kings won, he would've also caught hell for it.
Sunday I went to Mass in the morning, just to say a prayer helping me in my situation with Church Girl, whom I didn't see this past weekend. I wouldn't be selfish enough to ask that things go the way I want, but that the way it goes will be the way He wants it to go, good, bad or indifferent. I heard wonderful music in church, songs that take me back to my elementary school days that I still know all the words to. The choir that sings that Mass does a wonderful job too, and it's the Mass I've gone to since I was a little boy. It provides me a place of solice, a comfort that I can always go to. The rest of the day was spent watching playoff football, with the Steelers-Colts game being my favorite of the day. I was glad to see the Steelers get that win, I'm no fan of the Colts, especially Peyton Manning, but was sad for the coach of the Colts, who lost his son to suicide late last year. If Indy were to have won, I would've been happy for Tony Dungy, the coach, to have won it.
Now today, since I had no school, Kathy and I decided to go down to El Segundo and watch the Kings practice today. I hadn't seen a practice since training camp opened back in Sept. and I do enjoy watching them practice. It's also a great time to get autographs of the players afterwards, as they walk to their cars in the parking lot. Plus, Kathy had to get her yearly picture with her favorite player, Mattias Norstrom. She loves him, and for the past 3 years, goes down to a practice to get a pic with her Matty. I took the picture, and it turned out real well, I'll post it in my Flickr tomorrow to show her giddiness.
I hope everyone had a good weekend, If you had to work today, sorry for that, just know that others did enjoy their day off....Have a great rest of the week!!

WOW! I'm so impressed how you practice your faith. The following sentance jumped out at me: "I wouldn't be selfish enough to ask that things go the way I want, but that the way it goes will be the way He wants it to go, good, bad or indifferent"
Good luck on your module test, I'm sure you'll ace it! :)
sounds like a great weekend.
I am coming in late on your recap here, but it sounds like a good weekend. Good luck on the test! :) Also, it sounds like you have the right frame of mind and heart when you pray. I think it's wonderful.
ah, alex ovechkin... i have never been into hockey in my LIFE, yet even i know all about ovechkin because everyone in dc is so darn excited to have him here :-) good luck on the test!!!
vixen - thank you for the compliment, it's not easy to think, and I struggle with it everyday, but I know that's how it should be, and I strive everyday to live by that. Thank you for the well wishes on the test.
Dakota - it was a nice weekend, sad to see it end.
Marie - thanks for the well wishes on the test, I'm spending tonight studying for it. My last month, I can't believe it!!
Alice - If you ever get the chance to, you should really see him. That guy can be the Michael Jordan of Hockey, i honestly believe that. I can't wait to move out to DC in the next year or so, so I can get season seats to watch that guy play. Thank you for the well wishes.
I'm late -- but sounds like you had a great weekend! Good luck on your test... and I agree with the others - sounds like you have the right mind set with your faith. Impressive Rob.
You're slacking in your updates. Come on...chop chop! ;)
