Ok kids, so seems all I do is complain, but being a M.O.T. its simply in my nature - and I like to think of it as intonated observations.
Speaking of which here's something - "Team" Canada - our Olympic athletes in Torino 2006. Bring home the GOLD (I bet I can't count the total medals they'll fetch on my thumb)!!!
But here's what's on my mind - how is it that not one single athlete wants to be the flag bearer?? What gives? I mean, you're one of maybe 50-100 people SELECTED to REPRESENT your nation - the committee comes up to you and says, 'hey, umm...wanna carry the flag - you'll get a lot of camera time and um...ya, wanna do it?' Athlete (all of 'em) replys: Um, ya about that, see the flag bearer exerts a lot of energy and I don't want to expend all of my hard work and training (y'know these past 4 years have been a real bitch - up to 500 reps a day!!) by holding the flag all day! C'MON...THAT'S B.S. AND YOU KNOW IT!!!
I say, take the bums that don't want to be patriotic (um hello...Olympics, nation-states competing for pride [and money], but mainly pride) AND TOSS 'EM OFF THE TEAM!!!
Besides, we all know that its all about Team Canada Men's Hockey - bring the gold or don't bother getting on that plane kids!
Depressing - oh, and that brings me oh so briefly, to the Leafs! Boys...7 straight?? C'mon...let's shake off the rust, dust and bust! It's time to get yer shizzle togizzle and make this city proud. All it takes is one...one lousy stinkin' win. Please. Try. Now you've got me begging. Bastards. GO LEAFS GO!
Done.
EM.

- I'd like to think that this re-re-vamped blog will take on a whole new dimension of thought and afterthought, given my recent travels of the globe and the forced learning that often came up on the spot for me...I'd like to think that this might continue to bring insight and reverance to a community that may at times fall short of those two commodities...I'd like to think that the Maple Leafs are going to win the Stanley Cup within the next 3-7 years...I'd like a lot of things, but you can't always get what you like (yeah, I changed that up so Mick n' Kief won't sue my sorry ass)...I'd like to think you'll read what I write, and that I'll write things down with more frequency than Brendan Fraser makes his Mummy films (this reference will probably get old in like 3 months)!!
