Hockey=Crazy

It's not normal for me to act in a crazy or impulsive way. I'm pretty reserved generally and I'm not much into doing nutty things spontaneously.

However, the girls at hockey inspire me to be nothing like me normal self. Last night after our game we were sitting around having a couple beers. I scored another goal, which means I deserve a beer. Yes. Deserve one! Anyways, one of the girls just bought a snowboard and wanted to try it out. (It's 11 at night by this time).

So, what do we do? We head home, get all dressed up in our snow clothes (it was -21 Celsius last night) and went boarding up at the golf course. The snow sucked, it was too cold and too sticky to slide really well on, but we got some good pictures.

I'm not sure it's a good idea to stay out until 2 am, snowboarding the golf course, on a work night. 6:30 came awfully early this morning.

The Hip!!!!

The best band ever was in town last night and we had PRIME seats in the almost sold out arena... Row 6!


The Tragically Hip is one of the premier Canadian bands. They have a unique sound and their songs are all sorts of Canadian from hockey to snow to obscure little prarie towns. They're loved by (almost) all Canadians from young to old, by the looks of the crowd last night. They played lots of their old stuff and some from their newest album too. It was the old ones the crowd loved though. They had the crowd screaming with Fully Completely, swaying along to Long Time Running and everyone, EVERYONE, singing along with my ALL time favorite Hip song, Wheatkings.


It was amazing. I took some really sucky camera phone pics in which you can't see anything except for spotlights, but whatever. I know what they are.
