The Good Ol Hockey Game
VS
Ah yes, the Olympics. More specifically, mens hockey. For Years these two nations have been at constant war... on the ice that is. Ever since that fateful Summit Series, that 1987 Canada Cup and all other battles for hockey supremacy, these two juggernauts of hockey have never left anyone wondering if any meeting between these two great nations could have been more entertaining.
And A few days ago was no different: It was Canada Vs Russia in the Olympic Quarter Finals in Italy. Canada came in as the defending Olympic champions and having not lost too Russia in their last 3 meetings. Russia on the other hand came into the game having the better record and a goalie with a better save percentage.
Both teams played an exceptional game. The score was 0-0 through 2 periods till Russia scored early in the third and once more late in the last periode, giving them the win with a score of 2-0 and also the right to move onto the semi finals.
Ah yes, Team Canada lost. However, they couldnt have lost to a better nation. A nation that respects hockey as much as any Canadian. With that said I have one last thing to say:
Go Russia Go!

Math and Love
I guess Math is like love: Its sometimes really hard and, for some situations, you may get an undefined answer.

Reality of Relationships
I know what your thinking, a) why havent I posted in such a long time, and b) another hopeless relationship article. Well, for a) its simply because i was in the carribean for a while and didnt get to updating my page so I appologize. As for b), I felt that I should write something about this since this topic has been consuming me for quite some time now.
I realized several days ago that no matter how hard you try, things wont always work out the way you want them too (Case and point, my relationship with a certain lady friend whom I dated for close to a year). You can toil on things that you hope will make that person happy and still does not guarrantee that he/she will feel the same way you do.
When it gets to this point, I guess the only thing you can do is sit back and watch how it unfolds. Could get better and maybe something will trigger that person getting back together with you. Could get worse and you guys could possibly never speak to each other again. One thing that is for sure is that all the good times you had together will always be there in your memories. So like someone told me a couple of nights ago:
"Just take it as a learning experience and move on"

Watching Time
A couple of days ago, I had to drop off my sister and I looked at my watch to figure out how long Id be waiting at this paticular rink before I could drive her home. I took a look, it was about 4:30, yet, even after getting what time it was, I couldnt pull away from my watch.
The reason was that, I realised at that moment who had given this watch to me: It was my friend Marc. This is the guy who I grew up with as a kid. He and I would be outside for hours playing street hockey, basketball and such. He only lived 4 doors down from me, so some days, he would just grab his hockey stick and come over and we'd take shots at the net.
He had given me this watch two christmas's ago. One of the last times he and I ever hung out. Lately however, he and I have drifted way to far apart due to different influences in our lives, high school and work.
As each second ticks by on this watch I realize he and I grow farther and farther apart. And I dont know if we will ever be the friends we once were. However, now, whenever I look at this watch, Ill remember my best pal, coming up the street with his hockey stick wanting to know if I wanted to play some street hockey.
