We Got A Little Wild



Oh man was that fun last night! Went to the Wild game and had a great time. I love going to hockey games and I love hocky players. I never thought in a million years that I would like the sport. No one in my family is a fan - we're strictly football and basketball (NCAA). A few years ago a friend of mine took me to a Milwaukee Admirals game. I was hooked the moment we sat down. Now that we live in The State Of Hockey, I can enjoy the games even more. When I entered the Excel Center last night, I honestly could name maybe three players. I have always liked Kuba because of his name (and he can play). Then I saw this young man. Not the best photo of him but on the ice? YUM-UHM-MMY. Yeah. I need a moment..... Ok. I don't need any grief over picking a favorite player based on cuteness. I won my fantasy hockey league a couple years ago and I chose all of my players based on cuteness and if I liked their name. That pissed off some hockey stat geeks I'm sure but oh well. Back to the boys: I think I'm going to see about getting some shirts with his name on them. I'm not so sure about a jersey with name/number on them. People change teams so much. My SIL's hockey boy, Chouinard, is definately worth watching.
Now I am, without a doubt, NOT a hockey intelligent person (see picking players on cuteness) but even I could see last night that they were throwing passes away, making some silly mistakes, etc but the checks? Oh they had those dead on. We were 4 rows from the glass and it was fabulous to see the check coming: facial expressions, body tensing up, the impact, the stunned look. Oh it was glorious.
I wish that I had looked at the schedule before last night's game. I would have tried to get tickets to the Dallas game. I'm always a Wild fan first but the Dallas Stars are a close second. Since they were originally the Minnesota Northstars, it works out better. Bonus: My all time favorite player, Mike Modano used to play for the Northstars and went with the team when it was moved to Dallas. It's all good to cheer for him. It would have been sweet to see the Wild and Dallas. They were here a couple weeks ago. Figures. The Wild play March 22 in Dallas. I've always wanted to go there. Hmmm.

There's an intricate plan forming as we speak.

I Can't Wait

I know of no one who agrees with me that Jason Mewes is hot. This is a bad example and this is definately NOT hot. That's ok though. I remember the good, forget the bad. I make no excuses for my taste*. For fans of Clerks , Chasing Amy , Dogma , Jay and Silent Bob , etc , check it out: P.S. I've been working 'til 11 or midnight most nights so I'm pooped. I'll blog more. I promise. Was I missed though? * Or lack thereof to some people

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well, ...

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks. My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory): I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were. Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all. Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who ...
