Long awaited second post

It's hard getting used to blog writing, but after being pressured by a couple of my co-workers and friends, I have given in, and here I go...

As I mentioned in my first blog post, I will be writing about issues that are important to me, while injecting some humor into every bit.

First point of order: San Jose Sharks (If you know me, did you think I would pass up the opportunity to talk about my home boys in teal?) After 3 straight seasons of being ousted in the playoffs, the Sharkies are off to a great start. At 5-1 through the first two weeks of the season, they are finally starting to show signs of a team to be reckoned with (Who will NOT choke again!). The sharks new coach Todd McLellan is someone the sharks have needed behind the bench for years. He takes no crap. I have had the privilege of attending the first 4 home games of the season, and watched McLellan on the bench. He is all business. During interviews after winning games, he seems to always stress the things we could improve on. I feel like hes gonna give the Sharks the kick in the balls when they let up for a bit after taking a lead (something they did all of last season and was probably a main ingredient to their early exit from the playoffs.)

Highlights from the first two weeks of Sharks Hockey:

Opening night vs. the Ducks. What a better way to kick off the season than to see Jodey Shelley (Sharks hitman) beat the living shit out of George Parros (overgrown ducks winger with an overgrown mustache). Although, no fight between Shelley and Parros (this would come a week and half later), but the Sharks dominated like I've never seen them dominate on opening night beating the ducks 4-1 with authority. My boy Cheechoo scored 2 in the affair (Also providing me with 2 Gs and 2 PP for my fantasy hockey team.)

Saturday Night, October 18th versus the Philadelphia Flyers was probably the most memorable to date as the Sharks came back from a 3-1 deficit to tie the game then lose the lead and then tie it once more, until newcomer Danny Boyle scored the game winner in overtime. Just to show you why sharks fans are the best, after the game, there was a little kid, maybe 6 years old with a Joe Thornton jersey who was dancing all crazily in the middle of about 50 fans crowded around him, all yelling LET'S GO SHARKS, LET'S GO SHARKS! The kid's dance should have been recorded on video and put on youtube. It was amazing.

Okay, thats it for my Sharks update, now on to other things....

I met a girl the other day and we exchanged the generic/awkward questions of "What do you do? Are you in School? (blah blah blah). When I told her I was an accountant she said to me....Oh you're one of thooooose squares" I wanted to drop kick her and Jodey Shelley on her ass. Excuseme for my slight temper, but honestly, I make more cash only 2 years out of college than you will make in your life time. Alright, SJ Sharkie...say it with me now...BITE ME!


I am a bit angered by the nerve of that girl, so I will leave it at that.

GO SHARKS!

Nabby, you can't allow six goals in a game and win. I appreciate the 'W' but six goals? Stop this nonsense immediately.
