Well now, pat Quinn is being rumored to be in for the job as the Vancouver Canucks head coach. CC Sit-down will love that one. Cc had Jeff O'Neil in his pool this year and savagely blamed Quinn for his demise. One thing for sure is that if pat Quinn becomes the Vancouver head coach we can look foreword to some fine press conferences.
The Ottawa Senators look unbeatable but for that matter so do the New Jersey Devils.. both teams have advanced to the 2nd round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Montreal's bubble may have burst after taking the first 2 games from Carolina only to see the series tied at 2 games a piece now. if I were a hockey analyst I would make some statement followed by some statistic about how game 5 is really important.
Edmonton and Calgary are both up 3-2 in their respective series and should they both win and Colorado ousts the Dallas Stars we could see the Battle of Alberta in the playoffs again.
In other news I go down to my accountant this afternoon to re-affirm what a total fucking failure my music business is, although the beauty of being a failure in this instance is that I will get income tax back.
Just the other day when I was in a postal truck and I was at an intersection next to a school bus and all the kids on the bus made faces at me and so I made faces back at them, which really got them stimulated and there was screaming and shouting and silly faces from both vehicles and than I hear from 2 people walking across the intersection "fucking hilarious it's Super Robertson" and I don't know who they were.
S Robertson known Jackass, unknown artist.

Aloha sucker
I have been waiting a long time for this "aloha sucker moment". The term was brought to my awareness by my man Willingdon Black, who, in his Blog did a piece on Hawaii 5-0. The article had him fanaticizing about using the lead character's lines in his life. my favorite was "yea yea, sure sure, hotshots like you are always sorry once the damage is done!", but close behind was "aloha suckers" to which WB would say to politicians once they were handed their comeuppance from the voters.
When I surf the internet I have my usual routine... loop through some sites, see what new has been added. One of the first sites I hit is CBC's hockey page. there is a certain story that I have been waiting to read about for some time, so long in fact that I forgot what it was until this morning.
I had stopped in at home for breakfast... a bowl of cheerios and a wad of chocolate. while I was wolfing down the cheerios I opened Netscape... I really need to update my computer.
And there it was a picture of my nemesis chewing his gum.
PAT QUINN FIRED AS COACH OF THE MAPLE LEAFS.
I physically clapped and said with much enthusiasm ALOHA SUCKER.
I figure it's about 4 years overdue. This year is the first year his Leafs failed to make the postseason, it is also the first year his Leafs didn't ride a goaltender that stood on his head (played outstanding). They managed to maintain their trademark poor defensive play, which didn't help things much.
Quinn was an decent coach for a while but could never put together an elite team despite the Toronto Maple Leafs high payrolls filled with aging veterans and overpriced under performing European snipers.

Put your faith in yourself... And not some fool team
Stupid fucking slow internet thing... I get a head full of ideas and then I'm looking at some stupid arrow with a time clock zinging!
I Hate.
So it was about 9:30PM and I figured that I would go and see Joe Thornton eliminate the Vancouver Cannucks from the 2006 NHL Playoffs. I could see it clearly, my home team squandering another lead in the third period only to come up empty.
Part of me wanted to see what would happen during the NHL playoffs if the Cannucks got in and they played on Wednesday night. Clearly a playoff game would take president over a Supper Show. I had pitched the idea that Willingdon Black and I would call the play by play in the bar on those nights... Janet liked the idea but wisely noted that there was a good chance there would be no Cannucks Playoff hockey this year.
For that reason and a few others I didn't even bother to tell Willingdon Black about this stroke of genius. "that's right WB show starts early tonight... It's a 7PM start... Don't worry about that guitar" I would say.
WB would be a natural of course. A man with a keen sense of the game and a childhood love for a perennial loser. I myself am a man from that school. My team the, Toronto Maple Leafs, are a team I publicly gave up on just before they went ion an incredible tear and now have a slim mathematical chance of making it to the postseason. I still say they are dead if at least for the fact that my mind set has to stay the same in order for the universal karma to stay balanced in order for the miracle to happen.
But the bone fact is that "my teams" won't be in the playoffs this year. This means I could adopt Calgary and Ottawa as my new teams which is a pretty serious upgrade if you know what I mean.

Me party People
There is something about aging people clinging to some party life. But that's when the mushrooms kick in and all of the sudden you have greater beasts to slay.
In a festival of wierdos I always feel like a guest of honor... The mind set that they are trying to achieve is my natural state. A bizarre poem started would naturally be finished by myself if a person were to pose it to me.
It would be rather natural. After I am surrounded with hugs and told how awesome it is that I played the game. We are playing a game... is it over? can i act natural now?
And then just as the elevator doors to the Ferry were closing on the way home I heard "A woman's Purse has been found..." Cut of by the elevator doors. I looked over at a purse less CT... She was sure it must be in the car. Later when Kaiya and I were alone in the car waiting for a remarkably calm C.T. to come back down to the Vehicle deck we sang a song. C.T. Said that she ran into her hysterical best friend who was also looking for her purse that she had lost.
Then as we began driving I mentioned that it might be a good idea to check to see if the wallet was in the purse, and then possibly check to see if the credit card was there as well.
Silly old me.
