Dear Santa, I Want Ballz For Christmas

It's true. There's been a lack of blogging around the block lately. While some of you out there have proposed it's shiny, shiny Facebook that has taken over (even though FB is for hacks), others have admitted to being lazy, uninspired, unemployed, or hurt by blog confessions. Whatever the reasons, I confess it's been sad for me too.

So what's my excuse?

While the thought of being injured and having more time to blog was a nice one, the truth is that not playing hockey or volleyball has given me limited reasons to vent, have cathartic revelations, or otherwise babble on with y'all. Don't worry, the Doc (no, not that one) said today that my knee is "perfect" in its state of recovery and on the four month surgery mark (Dec 3rd), I'll be able to return to playing hockey if I personally feel like I'm ready. My doc believes in letting me make the final decision. Sure, I'd like to say, "Hell yeah, I can play tomorrow!" and just do it, but I can tell I'm not quite there yet. I do think I'll be ready in early December, which will make me so unbelievably happy that I'll just have to post about it.

Just to be sure that the reason I haven't posted much is the real reason, as told by EG over at his place, I googled it. I took his advice and typed in the image search, "why can't I write about anything but hockey and sexual innuendos" and this image is what came up. So just to cover all my bases, I'm going to continue rehabbing my knee AND ask Santa for Ballz for Christmas. I think then I will have all the fully-functioning equipment I need to return to regular blogdom.
