The Briar Patch

 3, I currently have 3 blogs half done NOT counting this one. So I aim to finish them, just been a lot going on with my head full of ideas and none flow together great. So this is a mixed bag... Lets time travel, to the late 80s, early 90s. I am a hockey nut. I love hockey cards, collect them all. Love spending hours outside playing hockey in front of the house winter or summer. My fav team should have been the Oilers in Northern Alberta right? Wrong I went by my hockey cards and liked Detroit. They had these 2 young superstars Lidstrom and Fedorov. Plus some guy named Stevie was the captain. For a few years I was big into hockey, then about high school I stopped really caring. They were just jocks, lame. Of course this was the time the Wings were unbeatable and it would have been way better to be a loud and proud fan....I moved to Edmonton and was surrounded by Oiler fans and still didn't care. Until I started in a fantasy league. I went with my favs, many from the mid 90s on the ...

Ah hockey, the game I love another season has wrapped up. So this is my annual wrap up. That's a lie I have never done a wrap up, but here is my thoughts. The fackin Blackhawks won again. At this point whether I like 'em or not is irrelevant. I may have to admit the are becoming a modern dynasty. As much as I hate Kane I like Toews so I guess it is good with the bad. Just know Patrick your on the list with Kayne. The nut kicking list. It would be pretty sweet to see L.A win again next year. Then it would be like 2 dynasty's fighting. The big thing though I wanna yap about is Connor McDavid. Nope not even lets start with the Oilers. 3 first over all picks then 2 in the top 5?? And still a bottom feeder. Tavaeres, Stamkos, Crosby, Ovi, Toews & Fruity Kane were all top picks that have turned their teams around. Don't say they went to better teams either. What is the problem in Oil City? I mean yes we could use Pronger back. Boo me all you want he was a winner! Cant b...

Annoyed is how I would describe myself right now. The last few weeks have been so annoying for some reason.Maybe its the grey sky, maybe its my itchy nuts I dunno. It might be my coffee is cold and needs a refill. First the NDP won the government in Alberta. While I have not passed full judgement yet I fear for our province. The this dumb twat who took some stupid pics is all over the news. I already gave my opinion of her, it is no longer news so lets move on. Also the PC party are like rats on a sinking ship. While Jimmy boy takes responsibility, he ain't the only one to blame. The whole group was cocky enough to call a devastating election and now they realize it? But again I push all this back and wait hoping I don't get to use my told ya so sign. The Stanley cup playoffs suck this year. First off the Kings didn't even make it. Then Detroit went out in the first round. They had 2 chances to finish the Lightning and failed. Then Ovi let me down, they had 3 chances to...

I wont lie, I am lazy. I am whiny and I have a lot of first world problems! Well not all these are first world problems some of them are just my personal pet peeves, here is a small list of them! First is one I stole from a friend who pointed it out, the phrase I'm starving. NO, no your not. You might be hungry, maybe peckish, famished but I really doubt you are starving. Here is a first world problem... I need to lose weight. Well maybe but half the world or more has the problem of not enough to eat!!! My car starter is crappy. Yes Ford put in a shitty car starter, sometimes I even half to go outside to make it work. But I have a freakin car starter, hell I have a truck and don't have to ride the bus or walk.... Tim Hortons, your getting on my nerves. Seriously English is a second language in most of your outlets. And whatever it is annoying but I can live with it. However stop trying to upsell me at 630! I have eaten and I am on my way to work. I don't wanna try any...
