Hockey n' Me!
I'm going to take a shot at writing about sports, as well as just whatever is on my mind. As some of you know my favorite National Hockey League team,is the Detroit Red wings. No I'm not from Detroit, nor do I have any family from the region.Then why do I choose the Detroit Red wings as my favorite Hockey team?
It all started a couple of years ago, when I saw a highlight real of a player named Steve Yzerman. He has held the team record as longest serving team captain. From 1986 to 2006, Steve led the Red Wings to 3 Stanley Cup Championships. He was an amazing player, and instantly caught my attention. Since I didn't really have a favorite Hockey team, I just rooted for Steve. Which naturally led to a love for the team, and my highly coveted Steve Yzerman T-Shirt!
It is important to recognize that, this was before I found out that they were actually a good team, and had won many Stanley Cup Champions. Besides, one of my best friends hates the team. So why not?
So, this is going to lead to me writing about Hockey. The more and more I watch and learn about Hockey, the more I love it. I find myself, getting angry when the Wings lose, and giddy when they win. For example, last night the Red Wings edged a victory over the Los Angeles Kings in a shootout. So it was an exciting game. I wasn't feeling too well, but even being sick can't dampen my spirits with a game like that.
Hockey has become an escape from a world full of economic uncertainty, a dragging Presidential Election, wars being fought throughout the world, work, school, and just stress in general. It's nice to think that Men from the United States, Canada, Sweden, Finland, and Czechoslovakia, can get past the politics and just play as a team. Not that many people will read this, but if you do, I hope you enjoy it. I hope that my love of Hockey will convert you from the rest of the boring sports.

Great Friends
I am in no way an easy person to get a long with. I know that I can be annoying, obnoxious, aggravating, infuriating, and every other synonym for words like it. This fact compounded with the way my brain works makes for a great concoction of "special". I have done things in my life, that sometimes, haven't been the best for the people around me. The best thing about it, is that there are people who have stuck around me. It's great to have friends that will always stay by your side.
So to my friends, I give you a very, very, loud shout out! It's always been nice to have friends who will listen and give feed back about every little thing that you talk about. I'm so greatful for everyone who has the ability to put up with me. :)

Things that my wife does that I consider adorable!
Just as a disclaimer, none of these names are code words for dirty things. Just names I've given what she does. Thank you.
1. Drinks only half the bottle of purified water, because new bottles of water "taste better"! That leaves 3 or full half full bottles of water in our fridge!
2. Dragging the chair into the bath room (with her morning face) in the morning so she can sit down when she's getting ready.
3. Her happy march.
4. Her happy dance.
5. When she touches her face, and pulls her cheeks down when she gets nervous, scared, excited!
6. When she does pom poms!
7. When she makes up meanings to words!
8. When we're half a sleep and she's hungry, then talks about food that sounds good. "mmmm spaghetti sounds good".
9. When I call her a girl, and she gets offended, and does her offended face and phantom flicks me (where she flicks the air, but it's directed at me).
10. When she shoots any of my guns in high heals! (Okay that's not adorable, thats HOT!)
11. When she does "the wiggles"!
12. Her "how dare you wake me up" look on a Saturday morning when if I accidentally wake her up.
13. Her "piano playing" face.
14. The way she'll pick up any baby that is near her, and won't let it go until the Mother makes her!
15. Her post belch face (not the act of belching thats gross), but the proud smile on her face after.
So long story short, I love my wife 50 billion!
