Knuttel poetry break

So for some incredibly inexplicable reason I decided to pick poetry back up. I know, I know, poetry goes on the other blog, but whatevs, that one's obsolete, forever tied to an obsolete email address (my psu account).

I never really was a fan of editing poetry, so here's the night's first attempt.
working title -- wrapped and bound (it really, really is a working title)


Upon the streets
I walk
Into the darkness

Until we meet
I sulk
Inside this sweetness

And when the day comes, forever madness
Fates have been judged by all we haven’t done

The setting sun
It sinks
Into its ashes

The rising moon
Shall glow
Inside the hollow

The hollow of the hallowed night is right
It burns inside our empty chambers now

We cannot be filled
We cannot be filled

The heavy are slow
The full cannot move

soon should be a post on the current state of college football

Puck the System 2

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH PUCK THE SYSTEM
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH PUCK THE SYSTEM PUCK THE SYSTEM
I WANT TO PUCK THE SYS
I WANT TO PUCK THE SYS

Yeah, so looks like "Puck the System" is so far turning out to be not as regular as originally planned.

Whatevs.

Some Hockey news etc

only one team in the Atlantic division currently has a losing record. Not really worth mentioning who it is, because even if you don't follow hockey, it's easy to figure out. The Flyers are only in fourth because they have played the fewest games in the league, thus limiting chances to gain points from wins.

Ovie is hurt

Malkin was hurt as well for a few games, let's say five or so. During which, Crosby was held pointless. This either proves the Penguins have no depth so teams put everyone good up against Crosby and shut him out, or Crosby really needs Malkin to be effective or anything. Maybe it proves both. But Crysby sucks.

Ray Emery beat his former NHL team, the Senators (sorry, don't think there will be any NHL/KHL matchups pitting him against his closest former team) to cap off a five game Flyers win streak. It ended Saturday as their comeback attempt against the Sabres failed, 2-3.

In other news, two Flyers currently lead the league in +/-, Matt Carle and Chris Pronger.

And before I forget, to see how pens fans really view their team, I submit to you pictures they have edited for their players. I forewarn, they appear right out of 1999, but then again it is Pittsburgh we are talking about.

That is all for now

Now it's time for a rock show

The first ever Knuttel poll?

Back from Chicago, back from the dead, etc


So I was looking up more awesome Helmet videos, when I realized that there were two songs with the same title that were released very close to each other.

In The Meantime -- by Helmet, and Spacehog

I could do a breakdown, but that would probably show too much favor to one song, and let's keep this even, why not.

Helmet -- In the Meantime



Spacehog -- In the Meantime



comments section i guess, let's see if i can get participation from more than just 2 or so people, probably not, but it will be interesting

World Series wrap up

It was long, and well fought out, but in the end the Phillies could not prevail.

It's as simple as that.

But I can't turn my back on the team for coming this far and failing, at least not now.

Ever since Larry Bowa took over managing this team, they had focus on winning that just wasn't there before (and of course the fuck up he replaced ended up winning two world series with the red sox, funny what money can buy).

Ever since Charlie Manuel took over managing this team, they had a focus on playoffs that just wasn't there before. And in his second playoff berth he won a world series.

Entering this season, the Phillies were the reigning World Series champion, the reigning NL pennant winner, and for good measure -- back to back holders of the NL east title.

Exiting this season, they may not have the second World Series Championship, but they have back to back NL pennants and now have three NL east titles in a row.

Plain and simple, I can't criticize this team for losing in six to the Yankees.
Sure, the Phillies may be more efficient in their spending, but the Yankees just got more total.

It was a great year, but it just wasn't their year to win it.
-lineup had occassional problems with inconsistency
-bullpen was weak and no one seemed to want to be the closer
-starting pitching seems to be mostly youth and ancients, nothing much between.
-Ibanez had an awesome start to the year, a respectable finish, but he wasn't as amazing in the clutch as the player he replaced, Pat Burrel.

The core of Phillies that makes up this team is another year older (and they're already all around 30) but hopefully they are another year wiser. The pitching is young and promising.

Their days of winning world series may be over. This may have been their last opportunity for a while. But they should remain a good playoff team for a few more years.
