I'm just going to come right out and say it...
The real world SUCKS!!!
I miss the days of college, where if I wanted to go to a concert or sporting event in the middle of the week... out of town... I could. I didn't have to worry about getting things together for the day I was going to miss. I didn't have to worry about being missed. I didn't have to worry about losing my job for laying out late at night in the middle of the week. It was kinda nice. I understand why people stay in college for years at a time now. I really do. The funny part is, I think I actually had more money when I was in college than what I have now with a full time job! Man... it sucks!
But what doesn't suck is the fact that as of next weekend, my cousins and I are going to Atlanta to watch the Penguins vs Thrashers. The bad part about that (if there is a bad part) is the fact that Letang, Gonchar, Brooksie, or TK probably won't be playing. Word on the street is, though, Malkin will be back before then. That's a plus!
Pens were off to such a great start but have kinda been sucking it up lately, since 1/3 of the top players are out with injuries. But you all already know that. Slasher, Enforcer and I blame it on Guardian. She's been bailing on us and hasn't watched one Pens game with us all season. Even Moose has been watching with us, but apparently she doesn't bring the luck that Guardian does. Things are going to have to get better...
Enforcer is an angel and used her knowledge of Amazon to find us Penguins calendars. There's nothing better than flipping to a new beautiful Penguin each month! Now we have them year round.
As excited as we are about the Penguins game... Enforcer is a huge fan of Marc Staal so that makes her a fan of the Rangers as well....
She's been dying to see them play, so we decided to get tickets to see them play Carolina in Raleigh on New Year's Eve (since Carolina is our second favorite team).
Since it was the holiday season... we decided to splurge a little on tickets and just not get each other Christmas presents. And I'm pretty sure that's been one of the best decisions we've ever made... because our seats are CENTER ICE... two rows behind the penalty box. Maybe Marc and Eric will get put in at the same time! Hopefully Carolina will turn something around before then. If not, it's going to suck being with probably the only Rangers fan in the building (namely Enforcer).
Basketball season is over for me. Hopefully that will give me lots more time for hockey (and hopefully a nice bonus for Christmas presents). I haven't got to watch my games as much as I'd like. It's all gonna turn around now!
Step it up Pens!
Until next time... peace, love & hockey.
XOXOXO
