Wow, its been 3 months since the last post. Better get on that this year.
This entry is gonna be a mish mash of different topics.
1. First off, after the worst year of my life in 2009..2010 has started off better than I could of hoped. I finally obtained a job once again, and its one that Im pretty stoked on.
Theres no way I wouldve made it through this year without the support of good friends and family behind me, and its all payed off now.
2. We're just about 2 weeks away from the Winter Olympics here in Vancouver, and I couldnt be more jacked for it. Theres a lot of worry floating around about the seemingly balmy weather we've had here for the past while, as the word balmy, and winter sure dont mix. My only thought is this....If Cypress Mountain doesnt get more snow, and conditions arent perfect..cant we just move the events up to that little ol bunny slope 2 hours north...ummm Whistler??
Its the #1 mountain in the world for a reason, and its been puking snow up there.
On another Olympic note, I will be heading into the heart of the action the day of the gold medal mens ice hockey game. Assuming Canada makes it of course. One of my best friends lives literally a stones throw from GM Place, and I fully intend on partying/rioting/drinking with all the Canada faithful in the downtown core after we take home gold.
3. Staying at GM Place...there's something really special happening with the Vancouver Canucks right now...and in particular the top line.
Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin, and Alex Burrows have been playing like men possessed this season.
- Henrik leads the league in scoring (6 points up on Ovechkin at time of writing), is 2nd in assists, and has already established a career high in goals with 24 (9th overall).
- Daniel is 25th in league scoring with 48 points in 34 games.
- Burrows has been lights out this past month. Currently on a 12 game point scoring streak, with 13 goals and 19 points in that span. (including back to back hat tricks).........Not to shabby for a ECHL grad that was never drafted.
Ive also decided to dedicate myself to getting in shape. Being off work for an entire year has taken its toll on my body, and im at my all time heaviest. For the past week I have been running a minimum of 5km per day, and have changed my eating habits. I started January 18th, which is exactly 6 months from my birthday in June. I hope to be beach ready by that time.
Ill probably have some updates throughout the coming blogs of my progress
I just realized a common theme through this cluster of topics, and thats positivity. 2010 is shaping up to be a great one for the city of Vancouver, and its inhabitants.
Cheers!
