  Phew, Am I Tired!

  So starting last Sunday, I've been having football twice a day. Once in the morning at 9-11, then again at night from 6-8. We only had one this morning, so I'm finally done until school. Wow, has it been tiring. I'm playing senior this year, so I'm playing with gr. 11's, gr. 12's, and 5th years, so it's been crazy. Playing as a young quarterback and having to learn a totally new offence is proving difficult for me, and I'm really having trouble memorizing the routes for all of the recievers. Since we're gonna play 3 downs this year, there's MUCH more passing, which = more passing plays = more work for me. But I'm having fun, so that's all that matters

  New Gamespot FTL and Some Other Stuff

  So I really hate this new Gamespot. For me, it takes FOREVER to load up stuff, which kinda sucks. It seems to me that they tried to make it like Giant Bomb, which is kinda weird. I'm still getting used to all of this, but I wish they had a "view in old gamespot" option, much like the new Facebook.

  Just got DevilDriver's newest album, which I've been holding off on for awhile because I didn't really like from what I had heard. Needless to say though, I'm enjoying it quite a bit. So far, Bound by the Moon is my favourite, I love the chorus.
  
  I also just bought Dark Tranquillity's Damage Done. I don't like it as much as I thought I would've. Other than Monochromatic Stains and Single Part of Two, there's nothing really stand out. I'm just kinda getting into them, and I like their album Fiction the bestm with Character coming in a close second.
  
  I just watched one of Chris Nolan's earlier films, Memento, and it is easily one of the best movies I have ever seen. It's a pyschological thriller about a man trying to find the murderer od his wife, but he suffers from short-term memory loss.
  
  As for movies in theatres, I haven't really seen anything new since the Dark Knight. I would like to see Pineapple Express, Tropic Thunder, Death Race, and Babylon A.D. before the summer is over.
  
  Speaking of summer, I have only a little over 2 weeks left This school year is going to be very weird, because my normal high school is getting renovations, so we're twinning with a city school for the year. We start at 12:15, and go until 5:00. With 1 hour c lasses and a 15 min. "nutrional break." Because of this, football practices will be BEFORE school, which is gonna really suck. But once football season is over, I'm gonna love sleeping in until 10:30

  I'M GOING TO SEE OPETH! And my new toy, and trip to the cottage.

  So my friend came on msn today to tell me that Opeth was coming to down, and floor seats were cheap ($37). I was kinda meh until he also mentioned that High on Fire will be there. I first heard them at Gigantour earlier this year, and I loved them. So I'm def. going to see them! I'm not really a fan of Opeth, but their Damnation album was beautiful, and I'm hoping that they play In My Time of Need. I'm listening to their new album right now, and I don't mind it too much. Next up on the blog is my new toy, my 32 Gig iPod Touch. I've been wanting one forever, and when my dad told me he would pay for half of it I sprang at the chance. I also bought Apple's extended warranty so in a few years I can nab a new battery I absolutely love this thing, and some of the stuff you can do with it is incredible. Now, the reason that I've been gone for a little over a week was because I went up to our cottage again, this time with the whole family. Had tons of fun, fished, swam, sailed, went hiking through water falls, lots of fun things .
