Ghosts of Now...

Hello people what is a happening? What the heck is with the frickin snow? If there was more i would build something like this...


Well i went to go see the Harlem Globetrotters the other night, it was a fun time..i think the Metro Centre was half full so it wasn't like some 25 years ago where it would have been an instant sell out eh? I had a good time watching with Craig and his son, my only bitch would be about the merchandising booth and where they decided to set it up, it was set up on the court as you will see in one of the pics, what you do not see is that fans were lining up DURING THE GAME! They keep these aisles clear during a hockey game so why should this be any different? Oh because they set their merchandising booths on the floor...why not in the hallway? That hasa been good enough for hockey, wrestling, concerts etc at the Metro Centre...that is my little bitch about that...




Before the game started i wanted to go to Bubbles Mansion before the game, but i guess i arrived on the wrong day as Bubbles Mansion has now closed down...im hearing one of the major reasons is the banning by the government of cheap $1 drinks, the banning of the drinks lead to a rapid decline in business, even though you would not know it before the start of the GnR concert last month...really too bad..Hooters burns down, Bubbles gone back to the Sackville River looking for shopping carts...thought about going to the Mid-Town, but it was packed, went to Little New York and that was ok...oh well to find a new cool place to go before events in Hfx...didn't seem like a hell of a lot of choices and for Halifax that is not too cool...





So how goes this on the education front? Well another 80% (A-) and i am now finishing the end of Chapter Six....i do believe that i will be all finished by the end of May as i am allowed till mid June. Old Man Robb has been thinking about the summertime believe it or not true believers...well what am i thinking? Well here it is in a nutshell..i am thinking about checking into scholarships in Canada...i am now the big 3-9 and i think a summer away from home would do me a world of good...i have been checking out Scholarships Canada and where do you all think i would love to spend that summer away? Give ya a hint...



Be thinking...go back to the big A, grab some funds, find someone subletting their place for the summer and grab some courses...someday i want to get into education, grab a science, grab some more of my 3 part ESL course and see how it goes...just say the heck with it and spend the summer where really i would like to be, no offense Middleton, but spending the summer mowing the lawn, drinking suds and well just waisting time is not something i really wanna do, if my 3-part course is done on time, then it shall be December when it is done and i am able to apply for jobs in the TESL market and this time i would like to be able to teach in Canada or at least North America...its all do-able...it is all very do-able, all i have to do is go do it...

Of course there ware still those who do not believe...why not? Why have someone pigeon-holed? Other people who babble about me behind my back because they lack balls are just uneducated dumbasses, people who had every opportunity handed to them pretty much on a silver platter, no but that was not as good enough as hanging out with a bunch of losers and not wanting to go work, no dreams, no imagination whatsoever, just be a greedy bum, stealing from other people...karma will get you everytime..Karma will be the punishment for your deeds and don't say that i did not tell you so...



Was thinking about something i have driven by zillions of times in Windsor the other day, i had no idea that Windsor had the oldest standing hockey arena in not just Nova Scotia, but all of frickin Canada!?!?!?!?!?The Stannus Street Rink was built in the last 1800s and is still standing, sadly today it is being used as storage for a local car dealership...now think about this for a second...you have the oldest rink in Canada, still standing and all it is being used for is storage??!!?!? You have the Hall of Fame, even though its never opened on Sundays when the MOST tourists are around, i remember last summer meeting six tourists from Minnesota and telling them ya its not opened today to which they shook their heads and left...you have the pond where hockey was first claimed to be played and yet you do nothing with this historic building you have right in front of you..i know i might be talking out of my ass here...but man... restore that thing for the tourists! And get the HoF some better hours! 

 

By the way, the Axemen dinner is on Thursday, June 24th and this year's special guest is former Islanders great Denis Potvin, would be nice if they took Mr Potvin to somewhere in the community for a meet and greet with some of the old school hockey fans like they did with Gordie Howe back in 2007, the past two years with Darryl Sittler and Jean Beliveau they have not done this and i find that a little bit unfair to the fans who want to meet their hockey heroes and do not want to pay $$$$ to go to a dinner...





Anyways folks i have to get on with me day, might go to check out some Axewomen hockey action tonight, its free so i might just check it out.. working all weekend..have a good one folks!
