of course the trade doesn't make sense from a playing standpoint. at least not really. but it does make sense when you think about the vibes and the effect...

with ej being out we needed the defensive veteran presence, so who better to choose than someone they're familiar with (jj)? sure, he isn't the best, but there's plenty of ways he can help out. now this doesn't mean i won't miss englund or that i don't still not fully understand it. i just completely get where joe and cmac were coming from with that choice.

we don't need to be making major trades. not with where our core is at. can some guys realistically go? sure. but all around our roster is pretty solid and i couldn't see joe/cmac making a trade just for the hell of it. it's not like the avs are really better or worse with this trade. we're at this perfect spot where most our guys are locked in and honestly still pretty young but performing incredibly well. it's what has made us dangerous. guys that never fit in with their old teams join the organization and immediately click. that's something that's made the bruins so dangerous this season too. guys find their homes and they thrive, bettering the team.

and you also have to think what we've been doing without having cale lately. how we've managed to thrive despite landy being out. the way we've fought tooth and nail through injuries this season. maybe a familiar face is something we need.

also part of me kinda wants our new goalie to start tomorrow... that just me? i'm curious about this dude. i want more goalies to fall for

ADVANCED MENTAL ALCHEMY “The All Is Mind; The Universe Is Mental.” - The Kybalion

The Universe is the product of an entity of intellect and it is entirely mental.  Through scientific research we know that all forms of "matter" are actually energy under law.  Also, with the advent of Quantum physics we are just beginning to understand the relationship between consciousness (the observer) and the Universal energy.  As stated above, the mind is all, and being all, it has the ability to place its will upon the material Universe (material reality).  The Mind is not human but its greatest expression in the mental mechanics of material reality is in the form of Man.  A man/woman, is the Mind in flesh.  The walking, talking creator of material reality.  The Universe that we live in is a mental energy arrangement that responds to the collective mental activity of us all to produce an experience of material reality for the Mind to exercise and entertain itself.  At any point of material observation (person), the Mind can awaken from its dream in character personage and exercise its will upon all of material reality (The Universe). The Universe (material reality) is an energy arrangement that is constantly changing and adjusting based upon the mental commands it receives from people, who are basically for lack of a better term, "God in the flesh."  The energy of this mental matrix does not obey the rules of time, distance, and matter when making adjustments and changes but it does do its best to stay within the present storyline of material reality so as not to cause the matrix to become meaningless.  Probably 99.9% of the time, the changes and adjustments made by the energy matrix are complete and unnoticeable to the unawake human family.  But, if you'll just look around right now and consider your daily life so far, I'm sure you can imagine that there is an enormous amount of information under law here and hiccups can occur in the process.

During the week of April 11, 2021 to April 17, 2021 I had a doctors appointment that Monday the 12th that required me to take the day off from my trucking job with CMAC Transportation.  The doctors appointment didn't take long and I was actually happy about having the day off because that would leave me with a four day work week.  Driving a semi is not an easy job and five day work weeks take a toll on you, so I was happy to have a doctors appointment to excuse one of those days.  I had that Monday the 12th off but my boss (Rich) at the CMAC account where I work informed me that week that he needed me to work on Saturday, April 17, 2021.   I'm all about making the company and our customers as successful as possible.  I didn't want to work the Saturday, but they needed me and I was there.  It turned my four day work week back into a five day work week with only Sunday the 18th before Monday again and at least another 5 day work week.  That stuck with me in my mind!  I worked Saturday the 17th of April, carried a load of WestRock cartons to Kelloggs in Battlecreek, MI.  I started at 6:00 AM, got my paperwork, logged into the Qualcomm in my tractor, called dispatch for a load number and logged that into the Qualcomm.  I did a pretrip inspection on my tractor and logged it into the Qualcomm.  You know, the whole nine!  The GPS on the Qualcomm was logging my whole trip.  When I got to Kelloggs I signed a gate pass and went and got signatures for the load from the receiving department.  I drove back to Brownstown MI with the Qualcomm logging my trip the whole way.  I did a post trip inspection of my vehicle, certified the day and logged out of the Qualcomm.  I turned in signed paperwork at WestRock insuring that the load was received in Battlecreek in good condition.  I went home.  It wasn't a long day, I was done by 1:00 PM.

I had an appointment at the Secretary Of State office to have my driver's license renewed on April 27, 2021.  My license expires on my birthday in July this year.  Because of the pandemic I got an early appointment.  If I missed my April appointment the next opening was in October!  I notified CMAC Transportation of that and of course, they gave me the day off to go and handle my CDL-A situation.  I was happy about that because it wouldn't take that long and it turned my five day work week into a four day work week.  I went and handled that business on Tuesday, April 27, 2021 and had a great day off from work.  Near the end of the work week, my boss at WestRock, Rich, notified me that he really needed me to work Saturday the 1st of May.  In my mind, I'm like "All hell naw!  That's blowing my four day work week!"  Of course, I'm about being of value to the company and the customer.  They will never regret hiring me.  All I said was "Yes Sir, I'll see you in the morning."  But, in my mind, I'm thinking I see how they're going to play me, every time I get a day off during the week they're going to work me on Saturday.  Anyway, I worked Saturday the 1st of May as well.  But these two Saturdays are in my mind because I worked them and they blew my four day work weeks. When the April 11, 2021 to April 17, 2021 pay period came around, guess what?  Saturday, April 17, 2021 wasn't in my pay!  Okay, okay, they slipped up, it can happen.  I'll just call CMAC Transportation and notify them that they missed paying me for Saturday April the 17th, no problem, right?  WRONG!  CMAC notifies me that they have no record of me working Saturday, April 17th.  Now, not only was my four day work week screwed up, but CMAC is telling me I didn't work on Saturday April the 17th and they're not paying me.  At this point, in my mind, I'm like, "Hey!  You got me fu*ked up!"  I tell CMAC Transportation to go back to April 17, pull up my truck number and the Qualcomm record of the whole day, logged as me, the driver, working!  CMAC Transportation tells me that they have no Qualcomm records, nothing that says I worked on Saturday April the 17th. Okay, at this point, I'm thinking, obviously, CMAC is another sleazy trucking company trying to rip me off and I'm done!  I don't let companies, people, nobody mistreat me and  just move along as though nothing happened.  I told my wife, Debbie, that I was going to resign from CMAC Transportation.  Debbie talked to me about the trucking profession, trucking companies and how unethical they have been all around.  She said, if you're going to be a company driver, you can't run every time they screw you.  She was right, but at the same time, I just couldn't eat them screwing me out of my Saturday pay as though nothing happened.  As a happy medium between my wife Debbie and myself, I didn't resign CMAC Transportation but I did notify CMAC that I was done working Saturday's until they paid me for working Saturday, April the 17th.  Now, wherever that led was up to them, but I keep my word.  We started going back and forth about me not working any more Saturdays with text messages and an administration person named Tiffany was attempting to help me understand that they have no record of me working that day and if I did work that day, I must have done so without logging into the Qualcomm.  She insinuated I was just driving the truck without taking care of any business and the truck itself never reported unauthorized driving that day, which is totally ridiculous and even insulting to me, being the professional driver that I am. My boss at the CMAC WestRock account, Rich, said he remembered me working that day but he was kind of hazy about it.  Rich is very busy everyday and the day in question was almost three weeks back, so he didn't seem absolute about it like I was.  Rich said he would try and get me paid for that Saturday, even though there was absolutely no record of me working that Saturday according to CMAC Transportation. Long story short, WestRock and CMAC Transportation valued my service and respected me as a driver so much that they paid me for Saturday April the 17th, 2021 even though they say they have absolutely no record of me ever working that day.  I want WestRock and CMAC Transportation to know that I am truly honored by that.  I do understand pay procedures and processes and how difficult it is to pay with no record of what you're paying for.  The pay was a respect thing and I'm honored by that. A few days ago Google send me an email with my April Timeline recorded.  This is a GPS Timeline that tracks the movement of my cellphone everyday, all day.  Finally, I would have proof that I went to Battlecreek MI on Saturday April 17, 2021.   I opened the email and rushed to that Saturday and boom!  There was no record of me going to Battlecreek MI on Saturday April 17,2021. Only then, did I realize that the energy matrix had made a change that was incomplete.  The matrix flipped my Saturday in every way except my memory.  By leaving the Saturday worked in my memory, it created a conflict that could have cost me my job had WestRock and CMAC Transportation not been so generous. Rarely does the energy matrix miss a detail when making changes and adjustments but it does happen from time to time.  CMAC Transportation not having any record of the Saturday should have tipped me off, but this rarely happens and the Google Timeline made me aware of it.

I did list some other examples of energy matrix slip ups in my Teachable course on Mental Manifestation.  Thanks for listening.  The experience was enjoyable when I think about it.  It took me through a range of different emotions and was worth the observation. https://mental-manifestation-school.teachable.com/

"I know the fans are going to get one hell of a show." "We are thrilled to be touring this summer with LIVE," says BUSH frontman Gavin Rossdale. "The wealth and depth of songs from both bands should provide a great night of music. Looking forward to seeing you all this summer." Released in 1994 and fueled by blockbuster No. 1 singles "Lightning Crashes," "Selling The Drama," "Glycerine," "Comedown" and "Machinehead," breakthrough albums Throwing Copper and Sixteen Stone sold more than 20 million albums combined. Both were spotlighted on Rolling Stone's list, "1994: The 40 Best Records From Mainstream Alternative's Greatest Year," and remain timeless favorites, thanks to radio staples that include "Everything Zen," "Little Things," "I Alone" and "All Over You." "Sixteen Stone propelled us onto the musical landscape," says Rossdale. "Those songs have found a way into the soundtrack of people's lives and that is the highest compliment available. We've continued to make music that resonates with people." "It's an amazing feeling to know that these songs still resonate so profoundly with people," says Kowalczyk."And I still totally get off on celebrating this music with them. With Throwing Copper, we were taking on big things with a big sound.  Love, truth, birth, death, philosophy, religion, spirituality...we were asking the perennial questions and poking around for answers with this massive and dynamic sound. It attracted people from all over the world. We were inviting them to imagine that rock and roll could be a valid forum for exploring these types of things...we built it and they came."
