I'm still alive



Hey there,

I just realized that I hadn't posted an update in forever. And when I say forever I mean for almost a year. So I figured I'd come around and give you all an update. I honestly can't give you a reason as to why I haven't been updating; maybe I just lost interest in writing for a while, but I'm back, and hopefully for good this time. That is if I can remember to update on a daily basis.

Tomorrow is the start of the 2011-2012 NHL season. You have no idea how excited I am right now. I feel like it's been way too long since the final Stanley Cup game was played. I felt a huge sense of disappointment when the Canucks didn't win the cup last year, cause they played really well last season, and during the playoffs as well. I'm not too sure what happened in the final games for the cup, but the team wasn't able to raise the cup up for another year. I have to say congrats to the Boston Bruins on their win, but I'm still not a fan of the team. Tim Thomas was an amazing goalie throughout the whole series with the Canucks. He made sure he always brought his A-game every night and that for sure helped the Bruins win the cup. Thomas had a great season that he won the Conn Smythe Trophy for Most Valuable Player.

Now that I've boasted about the teams in the Stanley Cup finals, it's time to move back to my all time favourite teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs (they will never lose me as a fan, no matter how bad of a season they have) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (started to like them cause of a few of my favourite players, but I have grown to love them over the years).

From the day I started to watch hockey, the Toronto Maple Leafs have always been the team I've been rooting for. I can tell you now and forever I will never give up on them no matter what. They can never make it into the playoff rounds and I will still love them. There are people in this city who say they are true Leaf's fan, but the second their season starts to go downhill, they jump onto the bandwagon of another team. And when they don't qualify into the playoffs they start talking shit about how bad they are. Well listen up you "true" Leaf's fan, you can SUCK IT!! You should be embarrassed to call yourself Leaf fans. And the other thing that gets on my nerves are the "true" Leafs fans who jump onto the Montreal Canadien's bandwagon. I don't even have words to describe how mad it makes me when I hear people supporting the Habs. They are our enemy people, OUR ENEMY!!

I'm gonna cross my fingers and toes tomorrow hoping the Leafs will kick off their season opener against the Montreal Canadien's with a win and for a good season that will finally lead them into the playoff rounds. They haven't made it into the playoff rounds since 2006. It seems like the 2004-2005 lockout has cast a curse on the team. Let's just hope the curse can be broken this year. I don't want to have to put my jersey away in April.

GO LEAFS GO!

Pop Princess

Is she the future pop princess? Who knows, but one thing I know is that she is a cute 3 year old who puts a smile on my face

WTF Product Of The Day

Anti-Wrinkle Goggles  
Beer goggles: Make ugly people look prettier. Japanese wrinkle goggles: Make ugly people look uglier, make normal people look uglier. The Japanese anti-wrinkle beauty product (goggles) claims to push "those sagging eyes back up to where they once were," through a combination of lifting action and "specially-designed ridges which massage and help your skin."

Drinkers Outlive Non-Drinkers

Bad news for the non-drinkers out there: Drinking may actually be good for you. Well, sort of. A new study suggests that drinkers, even heavy drinkers, tend to outlive those who abstain. "Moderate" drinkers, defined here as those who drink one to three glasses a day, were found to live longest. The study followed 1,824 people between the ages of 55 and 65 for 20 years: In that time, 69% of those who never drank died, compared to 60% of heavy drinkers and 41% of moderate drinkers.
The findings are still a bit of a mystery. The benefits of a bit of booze are well known: improved heart health, circulation, and sociability. What's less clear, however, is why heavy drinkers (who are prone to cirrhosis and cancer) would outlive abstemious types.

Go raise a glass and screw those who don't want to enjoy life.

10 Reasons Why You Should Date Your Best Friend

Here's some more dating advice for all you single ladies out there. You always hear people say, "you should marry your best friend." Well, here are 10 reasons why you really should marry your best friend.

1. You already know what the other person wants. He knows you've always wanted a big family, and you know he'd like to be married by the time he's 30. Friends have these discussions. There is no fear of the truth, no asking yourself, What if he doesn't want as many kids as I do? Compromise is important in any relationship, and the best way to compromise is by starting with the truth. You'll get closer to what you both want this way.

2. You know each other's dating histories. Chances are you've seen one another in relationships and you've probably even met each other's exes. Since you've already met his past lovers, you'll be a lot less likely to feel insecure about them.

3. You've shared important moments together. If you've known each other long enough, you've been there when family members have gotten married, when babies have been born... through job promotions, puppies and maybe even the purchase of a first home. These events shape us and shape our relationships. There's nothing as good as having a real past with your partner.

4. The secrets are all out on the table. That drunken hookup with your friend's ex-boyfriend? He knows about it. The stripper he dated in his early twenties? You're her Facebook friend. These secrets that we would normally be scared to share with a new partner for fear of judgment? Our friends already know. And we're also less likely to care about them when we know they're just one small part of someone's past.

5. The respect is already there. Respect is so vital to a relationship, but sometimes that respect takes time to form. You need to get to know each other, learn one another's values and see each other in action. Respect is no less important to friendships. Wouldn't it be great to start a relationship and already have that respect in place?

6. You've seen each other in your less than stellar moments. He's wiped away your tears despite the raccoon-sized mascara circles under your eyes. He knew you when you sported the Freshman 15 - heck, he helped you gain it! He's seen you with post-workout headband hair, in your Uggs and sweatpants, and with a spoon gripped in your palm halfway into a pint of Chubby Hubby - and he still loves you.

7. Your career priorities are already out there. You know that his goal is to make partner by 35, and he knows your dream is to open your own literary agency. You've already helped one another work toward these goals, so when he can't make it home one night before 10 p.m., you're more likely to be understanding.

8. You're already discussed the hardest topics. Religion. Money. Politics. These are things that friends can discuss freely and with passion, but that can sometimes come between two people without a prior connection. He may be a poor Catholic who voted for Ross Perot, but if this wasn't enough to keep you from being his friend when you first met a decade ago, most likely it won't be a deal-breaker for you now.

9. You already know each other's families. Friends meet each other's families in no-pressure situations. Over dinners and drinks, there are no hidden future father-in-law agendas, and no "How will you support my daughter?" questions. And since you've already made an impression on his parents, that pressure should stay off when you take your relationship to the next level.

10. You really know one another. This is the big one. We let our friends see the real us. There is no pressure to be liked, no worries about whether or not we look good enough, and no little lies. The best relationships are built on honesty, so who better to be with than the person you've been honest with from the beginning?

Basic Dating Rules For All The Ladies Out There

Whether you're new to the dating scene, re-entering the dating scene, or not having any luck in the dating world, here are some basic rules for dating. For the latter – not having any luck dating – people, pay attention! If you are breaking any of these rules, it could be why you're unlucky in love.

• Pay attention to what you're wearing - clothes, makeup, accessories, shoes etc. After all, the first impression you make is indeed the one that will last the longest.
• Beware of revealing too much about yourself. Remember, an enigmatic woman drives men wild.
• Looks are indeed deceptive. Hence, never assume anything about your date until you get to know him well enough.
• This is a cardinal rule – no ex talk. Never ever talk about previous boyfriends, particularly their prowess in bed. Your ex-boyfriends are strictly your business.
• Be careful of sex too early. No matter how eager either of you are to jump into the sack, do not make the mistake of sleeping with a guy until he has fallen for you. Having sex too early in your dating days could ruin a possibly good thing.
• Retain your enigma. Make yourself unavailable sometimes. Do not pick his call on the first ring itself. If you've missed his call, do not sound desperate and keep apologising forever. In short, do not make yourself seem easily available or too desperate. Coming across as clingy and needy may result in him running a mile away from you. Remember, he's the one who should be doing the chasing.
• Keep your girl's night out with your girlfriends sacred. Never take your man with you. This is the time for you and your girls to bond. A man, especially if you'll have just begun dating, at the scene is not appropriate.
