So What's Going On?

Time for another blog entry. It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here. There are a few things going on right now that I might as well post some quick updates for.

A year ago on March 22nd 2007.. I suffered a heart attack and thankfully I’m still here and it’s still ticking. It’s always nice to celebrate an anniversary and have something to good to feel about. I’m amazed at how quickly a year goes by though. I feel pretty good, so if it wasn’t for the medication I have to take, I’d have a hard time believing myself that I even had a heart attack. Crazy huh?

Oh yeah... only another month and my sister will be married. There’s a concept that’s hard to wrap my mind around. It was difficult to grasp when my friends get married, but Mick is my sister and it’s weird to know that I’ll have a brother-in-law and potentially some nieces and nephews in the future. I’m sure Michelle is just swamped with wedding preparations, the new job, and domestic chores in the new house. I just hope she gets me some sort of itinerary soon for the reception. I’m supposed to be the MC and I have no idea what I’m supposed to prepare for. That reminds me, I should ask her where she’s registered at so I can get her and Dave a gift. ;)

In other news not directly related to me... two weeks ago, my hero George “Rush” St Pierre lost his welterweight belt to Matt “the Terror” Sera. What a crushing lost. He got ‘schooled’ by Serra and it was all over in the first round. I was soooo disappointed. At least he lost to a classy fighter. If anyone were to take GSP’s belt, I’m glad that it was Matt. J This weekend, we get to see UFC 70 for free on Spike TV. Should be a good show. Looking forward to seeing those fights.

My best friend celebrated his birthday on March 31st. Happy Belated Birthday Christian! I think he turned 36 for those looking to get him a card. ;)

My Tuesday night Dart’s team- The 285 Legion Centennials - took 4th place. Incredible considering this team has never made it to the playoffs before this year. Sweet! I think I am finally coming out of my slump – just when the season has wrapped up. I’ve been throwing pretty close to my old form. On the weekend I played in a jitney where my partner and I ended up in a 3way tie for first. We had a playoff and unfortunately the wheels fell off our wagon, but at least we did throw pretty decent just to get that far.

The Flames have finally started playing like they’re capable of. They’ve made the series 2-1 which just as easily could have been 3-0 if they had let up a bit. They play tonight here in Calgary, lets see if they can make the series 2-2. Who knows, they might even take one in Detroit when they head back there. Wouldn’t that be something!! Go Flames!!

Oh crap! You wouldn’t believe this but as I’m typing this entry, my cable service just went out. The game starts in 3 mins and I can’t watch it!!! Arrrgggghh!!! When I called shaw, they said service is out for my entire area and that someone has been working to fix it since 3pm. It’s now 7pm. My hope is not high that I’ll get to see the start of the game. Shit. I hope service is restored soon.

Last but not least, I’ve joined Facebook.com. What a cool website. If you get a chance to sign up, look me up or join one of the discussion groups I’m in. I can’t believe how many old high school friends are on there. Lots of people that I haven’t been in touch with for years are popping up. It’s a lot of fun to rekindle old friendships. J
