...Because stats homework is better at 1 AM.

I got done with my online midterm on the effects of French colonialism in Algeria. If that topic doesn't make me feel like a pompous asshole, then I don't know what will (dont know why it would, though...).

Anyway, so the Stanley Cup playoffs are whittling away down to the final few teams. Currently, my Chicago Blackhawks are still in the running. I was sorta rooting for the 'Nucks, but now that they are playing Chicago, I am now all for Chicago. As for the Bruins/Canes series... I'm torn. I like both teams equally. I guess, I'll be happy with whoever comes outta that one... And with the Anaheim/Detroit series... Ducks all the way, baby. So there's my two pesos.

11 days until NYC... I was really, really, superduper close to bowing out of the whole thing a couple days ago, but after talking to a few people, I guess I'm gonna go. I dunno. I'm trying not to be pessimistic about the whole thing. I'll probably chug half a bottle of NyQuil to get through the bus rides and flights with those sonsabitches.

Guys are lame. I'm so done with guys it's not even funny. I don't like the right ones and the ones that are into me Facebook stalk me, text me 24/7, and just generally annoy the fuck out of me. And it's awkward. And they still live at home. And they don't understand why I can't hang out all the time because I have school/work/other shit to deal with beyond my maturity level. All-in-all, they need to leave me the fuck alone, I just don't have the heart to tell them that. haha

Speaking of school, work, and other shit beyond my maturity level... I might be burned out. But then again, I may or may not be surprised seeing that I haven't had one quarter off since... ever. I've been going to school since I started my senior year of fucking high school back in '06- WTF am I doing? And now that graduation is almost here, I'm just trying to barely keep my head above water grade-wise (but that's how i have been the past two years). Work, on top of school, on top of family shit, on top of friends, on top of other adult things I'm not accustomed to equals one big clusterfuck of burnout. FML.



And Canada lost the world championship... dammitdammitdammit.

This is my obligatory sappy, emotastic, end-of-season post.

I haven't updated this in a while, but nobody cares because nobody reads it so no loss there. Well, okay, I lied. One person does. WOOHOO! :D

I believe I left off with our April 4th win against Kelowna on home ice... it was sweet. Up 2-0 in the series; the games were intense. But, 8 days have passed since and a lot happened.

April 7th @ Kelowna- L
April 8th @ Kelowna- L
April 10th @ home- L

and tonight...

April 12th @ Kelowna- L. Americans eliminated, Kelowna goes on. :(

Too many injuries, too many guys missing, too much of everything. But, lets not make any excuses.

The last game for Procyshen, Reese, Fadden, and Pickard (amongst other players who may not be coming back... *sobs*). I was only listening to the game, but I was told by people who were watching that Chet was crying after coach pulled him out to put Martyniuk in the net. Talk about heartbreaking.

So, I'm gonna deliver with this whole emotastic blog deal... and here it goes:


First off- Taylor Procyshen. Not only a great player, but an awesome guy in general. Total inspiration. Great captain. I couldn't have asked for a better guy to lead this team.

Jason Reese- Helloooo, difference maker! He did so much for the team. Love watching him play. Brought a lot of experience to the team and knowing that he started out here as a Jr. AM is pretty awesome. Reese came full circle here and I'm so glad to have been able to witness it!

Mitch Fadden- Our ("Dave"'s) little (big) redheaded stallion. You have no idea how thankful I am we got this guy during that midseason trade business. Behbeh really did "get 'er done, eh." Insane. Another difference maker, fo' sho.

Chet Pickard- Whatta man, whatta man. Great goalie. I can't imagine what we would have done without him! He had a great career here in Tri. I'm so stoked to see him go on to the next level. We'll most definitely miss this one.


This was the first season I was able to really get into because I lived close enough to go to the games (I've followed the AMS for years though) and whatnot. This team has a lot of heart and a lot of talent. The n00bs like Behbeh Yuen, Shinny FTW4EVER, and Messier (those are just a few) give me a great feeling about next season. I'm fucking jacked about next season! And with our 19-year-olds, who knows? McColm, Toll, Lazo, Stoklasa, Plouffe... Personally, if I had it my way, we wouldn't lose any of 'em, but the Dub says "fuck off, you can only have 3." Ugh. :(



*So, hockey behbehs... I know none of you will ever read this, but it makes me feel better to write this all out... It was a great season. No lie. We are sooo proud of you guys! You guys did fantastic and it was awesome to be able to witness it. So here's to next year: whether you'll be back here in TC, playing with another team in the Dub, in the AHL, in the NHL, in another league I didn't mention, or just done and moving on to the next phase of your life.* You guys deserve all the cuppies and cookies in the world!

And Hockee Frendz, I'm so thankful to have met you all!! You made this season even better! I had a blast and laughed harder with you all than I have with other people. We can't let the end of the season be the end of us hanging out! :) Love you all!!!! ♥♥


In other awesomeness, the NHL ploffs are coming up! So my hockey obsession won't be too starved after tonight. :) And my browser is decked out in a Montreal Canadiens theme. 'Cause I'm fucking fabulous like that. haha
