Welp, it's that time of year again.
Stanley Cup Playoffs. SQUEEEE!
If you don't know me already, I really like hockey. Like...REALLY like it. I don't watch much for televised sports, but I LIVE for hockey. Now, those of you who perhaps read from last season (which I think is probably only Melissa...LOVE YOUR FACE!); know that I'm also a die-hard Canucks fan. I know, I know, "what are you doing being a Canucks fan in CALGARY?" I'm relatively sure that most of the city wants me dead. Or wants to see the Canucks resoundingly beaten. I'm pretty sure that most people would accept either alternative.
Anywho, I digress. Last night, was Game 1 against LA and they lost 4-2. BUT! I'm not upset! Which is unlike me, because I tend to take losses personally, but I didn't this time. They played a hard game, and LA is a great team this season...which is really weird to say, actually. I've gotta give credit where credit is due, right? So, although I know that everyone at work is going to take the mickey out of me because they lost, and I know that anytime I wear my jersey I'm going to be given a hard time, I'm okay with it. It's early in, they still have technically 3 more chances to win it. Last season, damn near every series went to seven games. So I'm prepared for a lengthy playoffs. And this time, I'm not missing out on being in Vancouver for the finals. No sir. I ain't scared of no riots. And besides, the City of Vancouver won't allow the games to be televised in the streets after last year. There's plenty of fabulous bars in Van that I frequent when I'm in town. I make things happen.
In other news, guess what day it is? That's right, THROWBACK THURSDAY! WOOOOOO!
I'm having a really hard time deciding what I want to do, because there's some fabulous songs out there from way back when. But there's also some groovy jams that are only a few years old that I'm just getting into NOW...I never really laid out rules as to how far of a throwback it had to be though. Nor did I specify that I could use only one.
SO. In the spirit of playoffs, and particularly Vancouver Canucks playoffs, I leave you with this little ditty. I don't know about anyone else, but this gives me goosebumps. I'm pretty sure I've posted this one before...but I'm not really sorry, because it's playoffs.
Secondly, I've been listening to The Dudes a lot lately and I'm so glad I have. These guys are a local Calgary rock band, and their singer, Dan Vacon, has the voice of a god. It's absolutely fantastic and great to listen to. They've also got a show coming up May 5th at Wyckham House. I'll be there, and you should be too. But for real, check out this awesome song!
You're welcome.
