Anyone going? I can't freaking wait. This day better go by faster.

The Lee Trevino cameo in that movie is awesome

It's funny you ask. When I visited Indonesia the elevators did not have a 4th or 13th floor button. Those numbers are considered bad luck. So instead they would have 3A, 3B, 12A, and 12B as the floors.

Have a buddy who just ran into Matt Beleskey at physical therapy. He's not a hockey fan so he had no idea who Beleskey is. Also said that they were working on his leg.

I don't know what's more surprising, a black guy in Irvine or a gun on UCI's campus.

What's funny is the part that scared him the most was the front flip over the fence.

I've seen better games. At least they got the W.

We get it. Some Muslim dude stole your first love, was picked over you for your dream job, and is probably a Red Sox fan.

I heard the Boston announcers lost it when the Ducks tied it and then again after the Chara penalty in OT. Wish I could've heard it.

Am I the only one who doesn't think they played that bad last night? They flat out dominated the first and third periods. Admittedly, they have to clean up their play in the second. I'm still fuming at how bad some of the calls were last night.

Say it ain't so http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11493270/Jeremy-Clarkson-to-be-sacked-by-the-BBC.html

Unbelievable. The refs are abysmal in this game.

Surprised to hear that they have the second highest possession numbers. That's always been a knock on the Ducks.

Both goalies have had subpar games

Question for Kings fans: do you guys get tired of Quick's antics from time to time? I feel like sometimes his antics take him and his teammates out of his/their game(s).

BB needs to stop switching it up so much. I don't get why he broke up the shut down line as well as the Rakell, Sekac, Etem line. If he, BB, doesn't get his shit together I think it's time for a change. I wasn't a fan of the extension they have him last offseason in the first place. That Babcock rumor won't go away, and I know I shouldn't get my hopes up, but that would be an insanely good fit. I guess that's obvious when talking about one of the best coaches in hockey.

Some of the rainiest places in the world are on the equator. I have to admit I'm bummed about this winter. I was hoping for a good snowboard season.

Anyone a fan? It's one of my favorite shows. Bummed to hear about the oaf getting suspended along with the show. Rumor is he punched a producer because his dinner was late.

How do you like creatine? I've been considering it for a while, but haven't bit the bullet, yet.

I've been counting calories in the last two weeks and working out hard. Did a lot of research and started taking a few supplements. Right now I'm taking a BCAA, a scoop of whey protein (30g), and fish oil. I definitely feel better after work outs and would highly recommend any and all of what I'm taking: especially if you are dieting.

Hollywood, you bring up a great point about teaching there. Some of the best schools in California are the UCs (I'm lumping them all together, sue me). Their curriculum is considered "theory based". In essence much of what is taught are things that COULD happen, and in order to predict those happenings we use charts, graphs, models, etc. As applicable as that may sound, my Business Economics core classes were essentially worthless unless I wanted to be a derivative trader or an economist. Furthermore, the professors at these UCs aren't 100% invested in teaching. In fact, I'd say you'd be lucky to get a professor who is even half of that. These professors are trying to get their research published, because more published work means more notoriety and possibly a nobel prize for the rare few. What does that have to do with people skills and being able to relate? If they're primary objective is outside of the scope of teaching, is it really that outlandish to think that these professors aren't trying to relate and/or don't care to try? That being said I'm glad I went to a UC as it made me work my ass off because I wasn't getting a ton of help in the classroom. If I struggled, then I would get to study hall or office hours regularly. Just more food for thought for you and everyone for that matter.

Goalies notoriously don't get great value in trades. Also, they're both young and cheap. The Ducks are a budget team, so they'd have to add another contract (probably more expensive than an ELC) and then have another contract on top of that. Plus they just added 5.5 M with Wiz. They don't have the financial flexibility of teams like Toronto or even the Kings.

To piggy back on this point a predominant portion of my less endowed friends, I'm being PC here, are entering the teaching world. They are the fluffy, high energy people who didn't do to well in school themselves. If you can't do, teach. Am I right? And yes, that was a joke before any of the teachers jump on me for that.

I know my rant is a bit off topic considering the article doesn't place blame on the Millennials. From my experience, placing blame on the Mills. is, unfortunately, usually the case. I've had to work my ass off, and I know many people my age who get so discouraged that they take terrible jobs considering their skills and potential. One other point, it is nearly impossible to transition industries as well, something that was almost a given in previous generations. One of the few ways to do so is to go back to school, which then goes back to my previous point about tuition costs. And the vicious circle continues. I worked in personal finance for three years. I tried to transition into consulting/M&A and didn't even get the time of day. It's one of the main reasons why I'm back in school.

Serious question: would you tell your kids, "You don't need to go to college; there's money to be made as a plumber or a mechanic."? I agree our society believes that college is borderline a necessity. I think that has to do with a bigger middle class, though. The boomers' parents developed this country. Many transitioned from a lower class (simply put poorer) to a more well off middle class. I don't study history much or sizes of each class, for that matter, but as a society evolves so will what is considered important to said society.
