ok... so Michigan State lost to Butler today,
and I'm annoyed. Not that I'm a Michigan State fan, but if Michigan isn't involved... I'm a Michigan State fan. What's that got to do with R.E.M. and Andy Kaufman? Absolutely nothing... I just like this song.
Peace.

Olympic Hockey 2010

ok.... so Sunday the 27th is the end of the 2010 Mens Olympic Hockey and the final for the Gold and Silver medals is between the USA and Canada. Who would I like to win? the USA... Who will win? Canada, I suspect. Either way I'll be happy, as long as the Russians aren't in the finals, for too long they were the team to beat, now the Russians are an also-ran team.
The Canadian women beat the US women in their Final game and congrats to Team Canada for that. Here's hoping the roles will be reversed in the Mens final.
Hey, Hey... U S A!!!
Peace.

This is Ourselves... Under Pressure

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building
down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed
and torn
Why - why - why
Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're
cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more
chance
Why can't we give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
and love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
Under Pressure - David Bowie and Queen
hmmm.... is it 2010 already?
I'm already feeling the pressure and the year just started...
Peace.

Here We Go Again... Go Red Wings!!!

Well...
It's Stanley Cup Finals time again, and the Detroit Red Wings are playing the Pittsburgh Penguins, again...
I think all that read this blog know I'm a Red Wings fan... some time ago I predicted the Wings would end up in the Stanley Cup Finals again, and sure enough, they are. The Wings are a bit more battered and bruised up then they were last year, these games are all about timing. Pittsburgh looks to be in fine form and well rested... surely a challenge for the defending Champions.
I'm predicting the Wings in six this time around, as long as we get back some key players from injury. If not, I think Pittsburgh will have a good shot at winning the Championship,
So, for now... a day before the Finals begin... it's Go Wings!!! again...
Peace.

here's hoping MSU kicks the krap out of Obamas team...

ok....
tonight are the NCAA basketball finals...
Michigan State University and University of North Carolina...
and while I am a University of Michigan grad... just this once I'm rooting for MSU... well, and when MSU plays Ohio State in football, too. I'm wondering if I should wear green tonight... I don't think I own any green clothes, I'll have to look in the closet.
Anyhow... Obama picked UNC to win it all in the NCAA tournament, and didn't have MSU anywhere close to the final. I hope Obamas team is just about as good tonight as Obama has been in saving the US citizens from the crooks at AIG and all the other banks he's propped up. What's one got to do with the other... nothing, but I felt the need to rant just a bit. lol
So, just for tonight... Go Sparty!!! Go Michigan State!!! Not that I'm a betting man, but I'm picking MSU in an upset....
Peace.
and in case you readers are wondering... I don't only think about sports, even though the last few posts have been about sports. btw, Hockey playoffs are right around the corner... and I'm picking the Detroit Red Wings to win it all again... more later.

Words are Flowing Out Like Endless Rain Into a Paper Cup...

Words spoken without thinking are like shooting a gun without aiming. I'm not asking for much except that you think about it for a minute...
...Im not ready to make nice
Im not ready to back down
Im still mad as hell and
I dont have time to go round and round and round
Its too late to make it right
I probably wouldnt if I could
Cause Im mad as hell
Cant bring myself to do what it is you think I should
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, Im not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But Im still waiting.
Not Ready To Make Nice - Dixie Chicks
Peace.
and Happy Holidays if I don't make it back this way for a while...

I'm a Detroit Red Wings fan... so what...

... and I live in the Chicagoland area, but I only moved here a few months ago after living most all of my life in Michigan. So ya, I'm a Red Wings fan.
I'm watching a lot of hockey lately, all the playoff games, a good portion of the regular season, and now the Stanley Cup Finals.
I played hockey growing up, in college until I hurt my knee badly enough the orthopedic doctor said if I continue to skate I will need a new knee, so now, I sit and watch. I was never good enough to be a professional, but watching the finals gets my blood surging and I want to tie on the skates, slip on the jersey and play one shift... 45 seconds would be fine, and then head to the hospital for a new knee. Arg!!!
So, this is Wednesday the 28th of May at about 5:15pm CDT, the third game of the Finals is a few hours off and the Red Wings are up 2 games to zero against the Penguins of Pittsburgh. I'm sure the Penguins will win at least one game of the Finals. Whether the win is tonight or on Saturday, we will have to see. If the Wings win tonight, the Penguins may not win any games because the momentum will be with Detroit to sweep. If I had those answers in advance, I would not be sitting here typing... I'd be off in Zermatt, Switzerland watching by satellite dish. Alas, men are not mind readers nor can they predict the future.
So, time to head off to the grocery store to get essentials for tonight's game... and no, do not insert beer here.
Go Red Wings!!!
Peace.

I Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leaves you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance,
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,

I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack
....Don't stop... don't stop the dance...

What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love, & Understanding?

hmmmmm.... first blog post of 2008... better make it a good one.
2008 was supposed to be the year where things changed. I made a difference that really mattered. I've changed peoples lives in the past, not in a good way, but change nonetheless. This year was going to be different. Somehow, things feel flat. I know the year is still young, change can some in unexpected ways, or when you least expect it... I hope it reveals itself to me soon.
So far this year has had its ups and downs. I have made new friends and found someone to spend a great deal of time with... this is good (actually, more time would be even better, but yet again, distance has its limitations). A friend from Ohio is coming to Chicago in mid-March to pay off a bet. Dinner will be very tasty... thank you in advance... lol (Go Blue!!!, btw).
Somehow, once again, I find myself in need of a new job. The current one sux, and before things get too busy, I must find a new place to call home. I left a job in Michigan where things made sense, we did things the 'right' way... here in Chicago I am still looking for that feeling. This time round, the job search is moving a little slower... soon I hope to report that I have found that new place.
Other than those items of interest, not much has changed. I still work too much, although at this point, I am less motivated than normal. My critters are happy and healthy, I wish I was going to the LRA more (a BDSM club for those not from the Chicagoland area), and I need to find a good tattoo artist... I know what I am looking for and need to find someone who can get what I want done correctly the first time (I want seven Japanese Kanji symbols... the four elements along with the symbols for Honour, Truth, and Peace down my spine).
I have been in contact with old friends from New York and Florida on a more regular basis (it's only a matter of time MG). Anyhow, it's time for me to run, so I'll leave you with this old song I've been listening to lately.... be well.
As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
And each time i feel like this inside,
There's one thing i wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
And as i walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
'cause each time i feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
So where are the strong?

What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? ohhhh

Talking to God...

(whomever your God may be) is often complicated. Sometimes, you don't always get the answers you hope for... sometimes, it feels like you have been rejected for reasons, while clear, are something that in your heart, you know you would never do again. Lately, as I examine my faith, I find myself feeling that my opportunities for an improved afterlife are limited. Too many wrongs to right, and too little time to right them in. So, while I have tried to correct things, the weight of the world still hangs on my shoulders... the peace I search daily for is elusive. Time does heal past wounds, but, am I rationalizing away things I should feel more guilty for? I already understand... at the reckoning... I am not destined to continue on in the tranquil peace of a positive afterlife. Somehow, as time goes on... I'm not so sure that my past deeds were really that bad in the grand scheme of things. I believe that a debt has to be paid for past deeds, and if I didn't do them, someone else surly would have. But, as I search for answers, I keep coming back to the fact that I am not wanted by my God. Maybe, I'm just crossing the wires and the message is confused. Maybe, I shouldn't care about the return message and continue to strive for honour in my life. Maybe, just maybe, I have already paid my debt and am now racking up brownie points (seems hard to believe that, but, one never knows). Maybe, I need to reexamine the answers and reinterpret the response. I'm not asking for much... is peace too much to ask for? This song kinda says it all... I'm no son of his...
Well the key to my survival
Was never in much doubt
The question was how i could keep sane
Trying to find a way out
Things were never easy for me
Peace of mind was hard to find
And i needed a place where i could hide
Somewhere i could call mine
I didn't think much about it
Til it started happening all the time
Soon i was living with the fear everyday
Of what might happen that night
I couldn't stand to hear the
Crying of my mother
And i remember when
I swore that, that would be the
Last they'd see of me
And i never went home again
They say that time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straight in the eyes
He said:
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
And you're no son, no son of mine
Oh, his words how they hurt me, i'll never forget it
And as the time, it went by, i lived to regret it
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But where should i go,
And what should i do
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But i came here for help, oh i came here for you
Well the years they passed so slowly
I thought about him everyday
What would i do, if we passed on the street
Would i keep running away
In and out of hiding places
Soon i'd have to face the facts
We'd have to sit down and talk it over
And that would mean going back
They say that time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straight in the eyes
He said:
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
When you walked out, you left us behind
And you're no son, you're no son of mine
Oh, his words how they hurt me, i'll never forget it
And as the time, it went by, i lived to regret it
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But where should i go and what should i do
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But i came here for help, oh i was looking for you
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh
You're no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh...
No Son of Mine - Genesis
Peace.
