My grandfather died this morning. Its probably a good thing, especially since the cancer spread to his brain a few weeks ago. He hasnt been himself since, so, in a way, ive been missing him for about 6 months already. The last thing he said to me was that he wonders how tall Alexander will be when he grows up. Typical, always thinking about those ( Read more... )

After months of confusion, and research, I have finally decided who I am backing for President. He is a man who stood up to President Bush on the Patriot Act, Death Penalty, Iraq War and No Child Left Behind, by voting agaisnt all of these the first time around. While he unfortunatly calls himself a Republican, he is really more of a libertarian ( Read more... )

It really is. Its the best game, by far, but, its strange. The Wings dominate 59 minutes, and they lose. They only show up for 10 minutes, and they still lose. They benefit from terrible reffing, they lose. They get screwed by terrible reffing, they lose. I went into this series thinking they may run into trouble because the Ducks were better and ( Read more... )

This would be awesome

Stupid people are probably shaking for the 'moral integrity of the game', nevermind that you can bet in Canada, but, I know we would outdraw recent champions like Carolina, Tampa Bay, and Anaheim. In fact, with Crosby and Malkin, I might not even be able to get tickets.

My school is famous

They changed the byline. At the time, the headline at the very front page was "Derfelt Elementary on lockdown". I wonder how many voicemails my principal will have on Monday morning.

Went to LA this weekend. The baby seemed to enjoy his first hockey game, even though the Wings didnt play all that well. (Well, except for Schneider, Fillipula, and Osgood. Whats the deal with him anyway? Wings fans hate him, opposing fans think hes a horrible nutcase, but, he has decent career numbers, and a Stanley Cup, and I cant think of a ( Read more... )

"Iran is your home and is the home of all freedom seekers of the world," Ahmadinejad said. "Here you can express your views and exchange opinions in a friendly, brotherly and free atmosphere."

Wow. Nutjob.

"We played hockey for money, but we would have played Toronto for free."- Alex Delvecchio.
For the first time in 3 years, what used to be the greatest rivarly in hockey plays tonight. Go USA, go Wings! That is all.

-I voted for the first time outside of New York state today. This may be hard for most of you to even comprehend, but, to see a touchscreen voting panel instead of the lever thing I had grown up with was somewhat disturbing. However, it is efficient, and pretty idiot proof. They show you a paper receipt with all your choices on it. Polls dont close ( Read more... )
