Bingo Fun

My friend wrote an excellent blog on the percentages of what makes up ac actual bingo experience. And I felt like I needed to share it with more people so that they can also enjoy the fun that is bingo. So here it is:

The Percentages of Bingo Fun

50% is in the dabbing. whether it be a slam dab, a roll dab, gentle dab, or your common dab. It doesn't have to be a useful dab. Just a dab.

the other 50% is in the friendship. heres how it breaks down.

10% is saying OHHH 69 after O 69 is called.

12 % is during intermission where you can go get McD's or go get 2 free Hot chocolates.

9 % is sharing the common feeling of nervousness knowing that no matter how close you are to winning bingo there is someone out there who is one number closer than you.

another 9 % is laughing and talking in between and during the bingo session.

2 % is clapping for other bingo winners. even if you don't know them.

5 % is the amount of money you all put in to have 2 hours of fun (5$), and the possibility of 50$ or 13,000$ if you win full house in 50#'s or less.

1 % laughing at people who call bingo and then realize they made a mistake.

and the last 2 % anticipating with friends the next time you will play bingo together again.

that is what bingo is all about.

Congratulations

To the MBCI Hawks grade nine guys volleyball team on an excellent season. I would be writing that had we won or lost today, but it helps that they pulled off the win in the finals. You guys worked hard most of the season and you played well when it counted. Nice work thanks for making my first season coaching a great one. And we all know we would have won provincials had we been in it.

Working Life

Surprise, I have a job and start on Monday, just felt like putting that out there. Also I am nearly done school which is nice, and then it is time for Providence College. Awww yaa. I am pretty excited for volleyball, the team has a lot of potential to do some great things this year, we will just have to see how things play out this season.

Also the grade nine boys I am coaching are in the league finals this Saturday which is going to be awesome. After a solid showing in the semi finals I am looking forward to see what they do in the finals. It is going to be a big day.

Champions of the World

Dodgeball Champions of the World that is. That is right you heard it here first, the DFB Gator Ball Giants finished their inaugural tournament as champions. I must say that this is a sign of things to come for the young men who quickly snapped out of their first game jitters to come back and win the tournament with five straight victories, which included a drubbing of a match in the semi finals and an intense best of three finals with DFB defeating a slightly more experienced team in a tight third game. So lets hear it for the boys D-D-D F B. Three, two, ONE!!!

Tired?

So I just felt it was time to add a post to this guy so I was trying to think of the funniest thing that has happened to me lately. And this is what I came up with.

So I am playing volleyball and I was under the impression that we were playing a nice little best of 5 match, so after the 4 set we had won 3 to 1, and the other coach walks by and says, "We have time to play two more probably." So we are about to start a fifth set to 25 points in which there have been no timeouts, and for a person of my stature playing a position where I jump to set every ball, and then jump to block in the front row, and then sometimes even jump in joy after a big point this I am quite tired. I go back to serve the first ball, and coach says "You tired Ryan?" (There is no sub for me either way) "No, what's that?" I said back, as I am saying this I bounce the ball for my serve and it hits my foot and rolls away... Nice, that was embarrassing.

I know pretty lame story, pretty lame life, well whatever, no big deal but we still won 2 more sets in a row. Again no one cares, alright well that's my life.

Apology

I would just like to take this chance to publicly apologize for constantly encouraging everyone to watch my youtube video, I did not realize how overwhelming it was for people for me to be constantly advertising it. You will not hear me speak of it again, because I have made my goal, so until I get close to 10 000, you will not hear from me again about the video.

On another note, today I did a little presentation in my English class, and I once again made a reference to the office that no one understood or found funny. This is how it went, I walk up to the front and inform everyone that I am not going to be using any fancy technology... because Technology gets you into a lake. If anyone catches that reference that would be great.

Also I just got a call from River City Sports and I have a job interview. Good Work Ryan!

Recent Events

As I am doing some homework I remember that I saw some things the past few days that made me want to make another post about people.

First thought: There is a girl who sits in front of me in my Business class, and she sits there copying and pasting the notes from the internet into a word document. Once she has copied all the notes, she will open up MSN messenger and chat it up all class with a big grin on her face as if she is chatting with her crush. Good work, but seriously grow up a bit and just don't come to class. Also a tip you can save some time and just save the whole Power Point show as opposed to copying and pasting the whole thing it will save you a lot of time.

Second thought: It is not attractive when girls swear. I am sure lots of girls will read this and say it is not attractive when guys swear either. So there we go it is not attractive when people swear, so we should all not do it. Obviously I am being a hypocrite to write this, but seriously if it is not attractive to anyone why do people do it? To be cool? If that is the case that is really too bad. Maybe it is because we are angry? Fair enough, but if that is the case there are a lot of people who are wrongfully angry. I wasn't sure if I was going to even write that one but I decided I would.

That's all for now, feel free to leave any comments or criticisms, also you should all watch my video on youtube if you haven't yet.

No Shave

So I am half through No Shave November, which is becoming quite a task as the beard becomes a little bit itchier every day. But do not get me wrong this beard will not become shaven, today is day 16 of 30, and I look forward to the end result.

Also today in class someone did a presentation on Sexual Harassment and if anyone that reads this knows me, you know that naturally that will remind me of an episode of The Office. And the whole presentation which was only five minutes anyways I was just hoping for an opportunity to say "That's what she said.." unfortunately sometimes things that you want to come up just don't (That's what she said).

Also I just set up wireless internet in my house so I have no reason not to be able to update my blog more often, since I know most of you check everyday for an update. Not that I had an reason not to before, anyways life is good, I am pumped to go to Providence next semester, and I am looking forward to going to Toronto in December. Should be good times.

Also watch my youtube video if you have not already it is called Camp Grace Aerobics, and I am nearly at 1000 views, which would in my mind make me a youtube legend. Also if no one else watches I will personally watch it however many more times it takes to get me to that 1000 views.

Just Wondering

As I ponder the recent speeding ticket that I received in a construction zone at night, when there were no workers around, I begin to think about cops getting tickets. Can I give a citizen ticket to a cop, because I feel that they are not outstanding citizens that withhold the law. I am sure many people have thought about this. But the other day as I was driving home, going about 105 in a 100. Just a bit over but it's all cool. A cop car passes me, and not just a slow pass but zooms past at the speed of at least 125 I would say. I find this odd since his lights aren't on or else I would have just pulled to the side. Nope just speeds past, about three minutes later another cop car drives past again going very fast. And then 5 minutes later a third cop car is givn'r faster then the first two.

I am just saying who gives the cops tickets when they speed, and even if they are pulled over in their personal car they can probably just write it off anyways. How lame is that? I just think I should have the right to pull them over and let them know that even though I am apparently not capable of following the law without their help that they are actually not capable of following the law either.

Anyways I am just glad the best citizens are the cops, because clearly they are the most capable of following the law so that makes them allowed to hold it against others. I think that cops should be chosen based on a clean criminal record, you know like you are a good person so they come and are like hey, you do a lot of good things, you are ethical and moral, you can enforce that others do the same.
