What were the Boston Bruins thinking?! (ok clearly they were not) What good does trading the franchise player do if you don't get a star player in return. I don't like this trade from either side. First off, the Bruins lose the franchise and the face of the team (well if you don't count their 3rd jersey Winnie the Pooh as the face of the team). Their top line centre is now a guy with 9 points and no goals, hopefully when Glen Murray gets off the IR someone will still be able to keep feeding him pucks. Second off, San Jose now has Thornton and Marleau as their top players...and then what? who is playing D on this team? do they even have a second line? is Nabokov back yet? Oh well at least they got rid of Wayne Primeau.
I bought the Tragically Hip's 'Yer Favorites' today. Its 2 CDs of 37 tracks ($15 at Zellers folks!) and it rocks my socks...and I'm not talking about gravel.
I also purchased Jay-Z's The Blueprint: The Gift and The Curse, again a double CD for $15...woohoo! I haven't listened to it all yet, but one song I was excited to find was The Watcher 2. Its the remix of The Watcher off of Dr. Dre's Chronic 2001 album...or is it just 2001...I can never remember. Anyway the bottom line is that its a good song.
You know when you're talking to someone on the phone and they have to write something down but you need to spell it out for them. You gotta do the whole A as in apple, J as in jerkface thing to make sure they get it right. What do you do when they can't get a number right? I'm trying to tell someone my phone number I say "555-9345" I get back "5345?"..."no, no 93"..."53?"..."93! 93! as in....1993!" I tried asking if they knew Doug Gilmour but no dice on that one.
At some point over this comming weekend I'm going to tell you a story about a hotdog. I'm warning you now that this is not a good story, its not even that funny...but it has a picture so you're gonna hear about it. Plus it helps with that damned writer's block thingy that seems to have taken up permanent residence in my head lately
Oh and the title of this post has nothing to do with anything, other then the fact that it was the song playing when I finished this post and I can't think of a better title.
This bullit doesn't have anything to say...and I'm outta here
