mellowship slinky in b major

so, i'm tired and kinda sleepy right now. and hungry. padan muka for staying up late last night and for nought. oh, did i tell you that my monday night indoor soccer team (beer guts) are also playing in thursday night's over-30 league?! yeah.. i've been going in there flashing my fake ID haha!! no-lah.. they're not very strict about it and nobody has checked my ID, yet. is not like it matters at all, with me panting like an old man after 30sec, i could easily pass for a 40+ dude!! pathetic, no. the physical training thus far prepares me for long cardio workouts and i've been recovering much faster, but i couldn't sustain short acceleration exercises like in indoor soccer. i probably wanna start altering my workout to include circuit training. and some news from my sunday night co-ed team (paranoid.android), 1) ian was selected to the colorado blizzard. the blizzards are colorado rapids' pdl (players developmental league) team, macam reserves. so, i think that's semi-pro. pro: it's a testament to how good my team is (cewah!). con: we've lost one of our better players (sigh). best of luck, buddy! 2) crisis brewing in the ladies' rank. susie left in a world of rage after our last game because she didn't get enough playing time. well that's what she claimed. you see, we got four ladies to fill in two spots on the field (six players at one time on the field with a goalie (doesn't matter a guy or a girl), a minimum of two ladies, and a maximum of three guys, and ). we had 7 guys to fill in three spots, that's 3 subs waiting on the sideline and nobody's complaining about not getting enough playing time. i've got a management task at hand and hopefully get it resolved ASAP. my resolve is strong. so, nothing's gonna stop me from winning that cheapo championship t-shirt this time!
apparently someone took note of my brief, negligible star trek write up in the previous entry (thx, nin13!). personally, you don't need to be a sci-fi buff to appreciate it. and you don't have to be a fan either. i've never paid much attention to the hype, especially with the original start trek series or movies, not really interested. i got to kinda get acquinted with captain jean-luc picard's starfleet generation when i attended college here. and picard's crew are the basis of my interest towards the star trek genre. here's my two cents.. star trek: the next generation (tng) deals with the exploration of the deep space, encounters with strange aliens (i.e. borgs), technological innovations such as warp-speed travel, space-time continuum explorations, and intergalactic conflicts with the romulans (close cousins to the vulcans, two highly-advanced alien races) and the klingons (allies) defending the space borders of the federation of planets. picard's crew: number-one (first officer) commander riker, lt. cmd. data (android), lt. cmd. la forge (chief engineer), lt. cmd. worf (klingon; security), dr. crusher (chief medical officer), and lt. cmd. deanna troi (counselor; betazoid). then we have a spin-off like star trek: deep space nine that plots the dealings of starfleet with the bajorans and the dominions on a space station in the alpha quadrant (the Federation has divided the space to quadrants). from the ecentricities of quark the ferrengi to the horrors of war in the dominion war. capt. sisko, the commander of ds9, and the enigma that is the defiant, and the emissary to the bajorans. ahh.. letih pakcik!! two more spin-offs - star trek: voyager where the starship voyager got flung far away to the delta quadrant after chasing down the rebel maquis. delta quadrant is about 70000 light-years away from the alpha quadrant! the lady commander, commander janeway, attempts to steer the ship back and going through a series of adventure beyond imagination. the ending is definitely a cracker! star trek: enterprise is the precursor to the genre. ironically it was panned out the last. kinda cool to see how the creative team comes up with scenarios where humans are technologically advanced enough to make space warp-speed travel and establish contacts with alien races. funny thing is the interior of the starship enterprise looks obsolete and it's suppose to look way beyond what we have now in the real world. this series nevertheless still holds a certain romance towards the star trek tradition. all in all, most of the situational scenes depict what the real-life scenarios look like. how people could have thought about the settings and costumes and alien figures are arts in itself. there are really smart, creative people out there with weird but plausible ideas that'll make you sit and wonder, like me. then again i'm easily amused too (not as much as some people, ok, one person, that i know).
okeh i'll stop now while my sanity's still intact. before i quit for real, here's a shout out to my roomie for being made captain of the taekwondo demo team! congratulations buddy! this guy's resolve is much stronger than mine. when he sets out to do something, he'll put his whole heart into achieving it. too serious if you ask me, but he's got results to show. i thought about calling him kapitan, but i'm a captain too, so i had to scrap that idea and sticking with calling him 'dude'.. hope he doesn't raise the rent now! alrighty people.. i'm off to enjoy the weekend. loads of plans and 3 new GTO manga best, best. do have a great one ok and stay safe! ciao!
