2009: Take my hand and drag me head first, fearless!

I want this emotion back. Pronto. That is all.


None of the lyrics in that entire song apply to me in any form or fashion but for some reason it's been playing over and over again in my head for the past day and I hope that 2009 does just that. I've never been one for making New Year's resolutions (and this isn't really one at all) but I've got to become fearless. I got nervous just now thinking about it but I've got to do that for myself. I really don't want to rehash the depression in the past two blogs though so I'll leave it at that.

Just a few random things that I feel should be mentioned...
  • Roadtrips are fun and not all spontaneous events turn out badly or with IHOP... though most do.
  • My Preds have turned into the sucky dogs again but I'll expand on that in a few lines...
  • Missing New Year's fun because you're sick is NOT fun. It's sad because I didn't want to feel like death. :-(
  • I don't know the last time I've spoken to my sister which is pretty sad considering we share a room.
  • I have the best and worst friends ever and unless you know them that shouldn't make any sense to you at all.
  • I do have standards and I don't think they're unrealistically high either, I'm just kind of a spazoid. Scratch that I'm really a spazoid... that should tie in well with the whole fearless thing.
  • My standards ARE higher than Red Lobster though. I'm not looking for Prince Charming or even Studs (even though they are pretty much one in the same to me) but rather a nerdy (not disgusting) guy who should probably love hockey. Is that too much to ask?
  • If the body shop gods love me, they'll let State Farm sign on as a DRP with our shop. I'm hoping for more than just them but if we sign State Farm I'll be able to move out and get a new car. I don't know why they shouldn't love me... I'm nice and not a liar. Please BS gods?

Ok, it's been awhile since I typed directly about my boys. Wow! Are they sucking hard right now or what? It's really been that bad but if they could just figure out how to score again we wouldn't be that bad. I'm not saying great but our goaltending and defense is way better than a lost cause (I'd say better but they have a way of proving me wrong after I write good things in one of these things).

To me, the biggest thing is how much heart they seem to give when they're out there playing. I love this team so much that it honestly hurts me when it doesn't look like they're trying. It's almost like a direct insult and unless you're as emotionally attached to them as I am I don't think you can understand that either. I was so excited when Richie scored that goal last night because he looked so excited afterwards that it made it all worth it again. Jordin knocking the crap outta Burrows and Belak taking down Darcy brought back those loving feelings again but then they were kind of smothered out by the piss poor pathetic play on the 6 on 4 during the last 2 minutes of the game. I don't like thinking that they just gave up on it but that's how it seemed. They've GOT to get something going again.

Also, congrats to my boy. He's got the second "A" for January and in an attempt to not be that girl I wasn't even the first person to say something (even though I immediately grinned the second he stepped out on the ice). I'm proud of him. I may think he's beautiful and love him more than probably any other hockey fan but that doesn't mean that I'm not a fan like people who's favorites are Arnott, Weber, or Ellis. I watch him on the ice more than anyone else because he's my favorite and that's how I watch the game (along with Toots and Fids) but it's usually accompanied by the occasional "Shit Suter" or "Dammit" or "Stop Sucking" if he makes a mistake or the more usual (at least recently/don't make me regret this) "Good Job" or "Get it!". He's getting major minutes of ice time and that shows trust from Trotz and that makes me happy. I'm proud of him when he does something good and his "sissy fights" and constant jawing are making me one proud fan because it looks like he cares. But I sure do love it when he get's pissed...
