DOWN TO THE FINAL EIGHT
Call them the Maple Laughs, call them what you want, but they're one of only eight teams still in the hunt for Lord Stanley's cup. Hell, any fan of a team that got eliminated in the first round, or didn't make the playoffs for that matter has so much extra time on their hands due to the time not spent cheering on a team that he/she might as well take it out on other teams. While I will be the first to admit Ed Belfour won them that series against the Sens, the fact is they won more games than Ottawa, and have been rewarded as a result. Well, I guess playing Philly isn't really much an award now is it? Their forwards will certainly be tougher to contain than all those Europeans on Ottawa. They're big on skill, but not on muscle. The forwards on Philly, on the other hand, accel at both. While all you Canuck fans are still dwelling on a first round defeat to Calgary, Toronto finished off Ottawa with a decisive 4-1 victory last night. Therefore, I've got reason to be happy.
MEN'S NIGHT STARTS TOMORROW
For anybody who was still waisting their time reading this crap last year you'll recall some stories about men's night at the Alberni Golf Club. Well, I'm signed up for tomorrow night, so it should be interesting. It'll be my first time taking the clubs out this season. You know what else is nice? People appreciate me down here and were happy to see me back, and liked the stories I produced last year. Everybody remembered me and liked what I did. RCMP officers, the mayor, and others. It's a nice change from being in school and listening to boring professeurs who seem to have nothing positive to say about my work. It's nice to be making money and not working for stupid grades, and spending my time on an essay only to get a C+.
GRADES ARE NOTHING MORE THAN LETTERS ON A PAPER
Really, do grades mean much? I don't think so. I often ask myself why I don't try harder at school, but then the answer blows me right at the face everytime - Because they're just grades! People stress so much about grades when they need to enjoy being young while they still are. Through my whole life a grade has just been a grade. Will a grade find you love? Hell no. Will a grade get you money? Hell no. Will a grade make friends? Hell no. It's never meant much to me, probably because I'd always pass and that was all that mattered. Perhaps if I was a straight A student, I'd have a different feeling about grades. Then I'd like to think they mean a lot because it'd give me a feeling of accomplishment, but I don't get high grades, so this way I still feel fine. How about that?
If you're wondering where the topic of grades came up, I got a C+ on an essay that I'm sure most people did awesome on because it was in Brent Humphrey's class, but as I mentioned before- I DON'T REALLY CARE! Besides, I've been out of school for two weeks now. School is nothing more than an institution to meet people at and learn. I'd probably learn just as much if marks didn't exist. Besides, with marks come complaints about the teaching, teacher and people come to the conclusion there is a bias in the marking. I'll leave all people reading this with a final question
What do grades mean to you?
