May the best team win!

Ice Hockey

Bruins haven't won since 1972, Hurricanes won a cup recently, I'm a quasi-Bruins fan, though I don't care for hockey since the strike.  So whoever wins, as long as it's a good series, may the best team win.

You believe in the hereafter...........every time you walk into a room you ask, "What am I here after?"

Yep, they fly really nicely!  <grin>

Yep, I remember that as well.  Oy

No, I have 3 myself actually.  Besides, "Early Morning rain" and "House of the rising sun", the thrid was "Wendigo" as sung by Mary McCaslin, written by Dwayne Storey.  Neither one of which I have found any info about the internet....the song AND Dwayne Storey.  Mary McCaslin does have her own website.  Which has nothing about the song "Wendigo". 

Which is very frustrating to me, since it is such a favorite for me.  I wound up writing the words down from the record and playing said record for my teacher and breaking it down from there.

I have played just about every major US sport at one time or another.  Baseball, Football, Basketball, Hockey and Soccer.  Ok, Soccer is not a major US sport but, thats because people dig High Scores.  I'm not much of one to watch any of them.  Baseball is a summer game, meant to be enjoyed with a few brewski's, hot dogs or other grilled food of your choice.  Outside with friends and family.  The game and season is long and is more of a zen type thing to sit and watch.  Football is shorter in season, thank heavens for those players whose average career length is less than 10 years.  You go once a week, have a tailgate party, drink brewski's and depending upon where you live and if you have a domed stadium.....freeze your noogies off! 

Basketball is high scoring and with a lot less stop and go action.  And the one sport I can actually play with some skill, albeit fair to middlin'.

Hockey is quite puzzling to me in that, it's a Canadian National Sport, yet most of the NHL teams are in the US.  And it's almost idiotic to me that there are a lot of teams in the deep south.  Florida I can see, since many Canadians retire or vacation there in the Winter.  But, Phoenix, DALLAS, NASHVILLE, ?????????????  Unless the Boston Bruins are playing for the Cup, I usually root for whatever Canadian team is there. 

I don't mean to offend people thats just my tongue in cheek perspective!   For a real humorous spot, I wish I had pictures of me playing for my dorm team back in college, talk about pathetic.  LOL  I'm the only person who ever fell on his butt before a faceoff and nobody was near me!  <grin> 

As for Car racing, yeah it's big in many areas.  Just not something I care for.  Golf as Mark Twain put it was, "A good walk wasted".   Tennis, same as car racing.

I have a lot of vinyl records and recently my wife bought me a turntable device that will burn the records onto recordable cd's.  As well as burn cassette tapes onto cd's.  It's available thru Brookstone Stores, it's not cheap 300+ dollars, but, to me it's worth every penny.

Also I saw at the Brookstone store turntables that will put vinyl record tunes onto MP3 players.   

As for the "satanic" music  slant...............I won't get between anybody and their beliefs, but, to me if you hear "satan" in groups/tunes like <insert group/tune name here> then just avoid the source of "infection", but, don't look askance at me if I profess my appreciation for Led Zeppelin or AC/DC, etc.  IMHO, the record producers/companies are just as culpable in the image of debauchery, Phil Spector for example, as the performers. 

Dolly Parton has had many rumors, etc, swirling around her.  She looks like a tramp and that is her own admission.  But, to use her own words,  "I know I'm not blonde and I know I'm not dumb."   Trust me there is a paralell to this and what I just wrote before.  Think about it.

{end opinionated rant}

Well, stop singing and typing with your head in a cardboard box.

Kate Bush...never heard, thank the Great Old Ones for that.
Neil Young..........thin reedy voice, but, he does well with some.  An acquired taste.
Bob Dylan....Never cared too much for him.  specially after reading the Dave Van Ronk semi-biography, "Mayor of McDougal Street".
Yoko Ono...I have heard her sing, the trauma fortunately was dealt with.  Oy
Michael Bolton... the Celine Dion of male singers.  His version of "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" is a blasphemy and abomination of unimaginable proportions.
You....your being overly self critical, but, for what it's worth I feel the same way about MY voice.
Paris Hilton.........can't sing, can't act, can't even do porno right. 
Johnny Rotten.....remember it was "Punk", the band could barely play their instruments.
Muse...never heard of him, Praise the Nimon.

I'm pretty sure GOD has stuffed cotton in his ears more than a few times at what he hears emanating from down here.
