[B639]Between The Buried And Me New

by James Johnson, Jam

Here it is the most important game of the hockey season. This is it, time to make it or break it in the Kelly Cup finals. As a netminder, aka the goalie, you have quite a few jobs. Of course, as we both know, it is important to keep the puck out of the net and away from the goal crease. While you are not frantically skating up and down the ice, checking, or shooting the puck, you have perhaps the most important role on the hockey team, watching the puck, preventing the other team from scoring, communicating with your team and the number one personal role, your own safety and protection.

When the opposing team is barreling down the ice, directly towards you they have only one task in mind, scoring a goal. That means at some point, very soon you will have a puck flying right at you, which might be traveling at extremely high speeds. Therefore, it is of highest importance that you have the best and highest quality of goalie protection available. What do you need? You need a high quality goalie helmet, a blocker, and a catcher.

Does this mean you should run out and buy the first helmet you see? Absolutely not! The helmet must be a goalie helmet. The helmet has to be specific for goalies. There are several reasons for this, the first reason being that the goalie helmet has to be light in weight. You have to move quickly and a heavy helmet will weigh you down. Another feature of a goalie helmet is that it is shock resistant, with all the spills, hits, and tumbles a goalie must endure, you want to make sure your head is protected. Some other features include a comfort foam lining, sweatbands to absorb the sweat, and face protection by way of a wire net. This wire net provides protection for all areas of your face, ensuring safety from a flying puck or another player.

Of course, as you know the blocker and catcher are two very important pieces of equipment for a goalie too. In fact, they differ from any other type of hockey gloves. As a goalie, you will have to catch fast moving pucks and you spend a lot of time on the ice. This means you must have protection for your hands against the speed of the puck, as well as the blades of other player's skates. When it comes to the blocker and catcher, the catcher is placed on one hand, the blocker on the other. Of course, this will depend on what hand you use the most.

The blocker is a sturdy glove, placed on the hand that holds the stick. This glove works to deflect high shots on goal and provides your hand with a massive amount of protection against the elements of hockey. A catcher is designed very similar to that of baseball catchers. It comes with a deep pocket for handling the puck, it is important when choosing a catcher that you choose one that works well with your needs and abilities. With a catcher, you can catch the puck, cover a puck, or deflect a puck, without damaging your hand.

Of course, there are other elements of protection that a goalie must have, but the goalie helmet, blocker, and catcher, are three of the essential elements of playing hockey.

Reading through the personal ads can be a skill, an art in its own. You may find that skimming through the personal ads has become your latest habit, searching for the person that meets your profile needs and desires but without success. Have you been looking for love but in the wrong profiles, or are you searching for more that is not written in the lines of a personal ad? If you read more into a personal ad than what is actually written in the profile and in the pages of the personal classifieds, you may find yourself conversing or dating a person that does not have the same personal dating ideas as you or the same objective in a relationship which puts you back at the beginning of the process again.

You already know that the listings in the personal section are from people just like you, people who want to meet someone special to fit into their life so starting with the personal ads is a great way to meet someone. However, maybe you are reading the profile of someone wanting to find just a friend, or maybe the profiles you are reading is someone that is also hinting towards a search for love in a relationship. You need to be a distinctive reader.

The odds are in your favor when searching the personal ads for in finding a companion or lover. You already know that if the profiles you are reading are not seeking some type of friendship or relationship, they would not have created a profile for others to review. However, the steps in deciding who you will make contact with can be one of the most difficult in your search.

Your journey reading the personal classified section will require the need to look within yourself discovering what you type of relationship you are truly in search of. Are you searching for a friend, for a lover, or are you searching for a true lifetime commitment? Whatever category you place yourself in, choose the replies and profiles that meet your standards in your search for a relationship helping you narrow your search, which will make the personals much easier to sort through. If you would sit in front of your computer and continue reading all of the personal ads presented, you may find yourself overwhelmed with information and choices to be made. Narrowing your criteria and the idea of what type of relationship you are searching for creates the best results.

If you are searching for a friend or companion only through the personal ads, start with profiles that state this specifically in their profile, which you will find many. In discussing profiles of those who are not looking for a serious relationship, you may find the following phrases used: ‘want to have a good time',' not looking for a relationship' and ‘not willing to give my heart away', ‘just want to spend some time with you' or ‘seeking another with a great listening ear'. There are various words used expressing friendship, companionship and those just looking to date. Use these expressions and words to help you sort through the personal ads narrowing your decision among the many people listed.

Profiles of people searching for friendship use words that stick out like: ‘looking for fun', ‘friendship', ‘no commitments', ‘companion wanted', ‘only looking for a good time', ‘need help in building my confidence', ‘I want to roller blade in the park all day', finding words that express fun and friendship stating no commitments or relationship will help you sort through the profiles you are reading.

Are you in search of that someone special to be more than just friends are? Learn to read more into the written words. Find descriptions such as ‘looking for love', ‘searching for that someone special', ‘more than friends', ‘quiet and cozy', ‘easy going and lovable', ‘special times', ‘treasured moments', and words similar to ‘lovable'.

So what about your profile, read over the words again. Does the profile really express your thoughts about a relationship, what type of relationship you are seeking and whom you are expecting to meet using the personal classifieds? Deciding what type of person you are searching for, what qualities you desire, and how far you want the relationship to mature are steps in realizing you are taking the right direction for meeting that someone special through the classifieds. Clarify your words, express your real thoughts and ideas about who you are seeking clearly which will aid those that are reading your profile connect easily with you.

Matching your personality and the relationship you are seeking with the personal profile or description of another person that is seeking similar relationships can be tough but using your feelings of what you want from a relationship as a basis when reading and sorting through the personals is a great beginning.
