The Robb Hawley 2011 Year in Review...



It's been a long time folks....

Posted this one earlier this evening on Facebook...enjoy...


Well how does one go aboot writing one of these thingies? Well you start back at the beginning of 2011...can any of you remember back that darn far? Well here goes nothing..hop on...

Don't fall off...


Well started the year by seeing Sue The Dinosaur, then an oldtimers hockey game in WolfVegas with Don Cherry's twin brother ron and Alexander Ovechkin's sister Alexandra, went to Ross Farms for the first time since Grade Primary, went to the Birthplace of Hockey in Windsor on Howard Dill's land...suck it up everyone hockey was born in NOVA SCOTIA! Met Brutus Beefcake and Billy Gunn and some dude dressed as the Ultimate Warrior in Canning of all places, saw Superman's telephone booth somewhere over the mountain with Barry and Michelle, saw Grease on stage in Annapolis Royal, saw the new Hall of Fame in Windsor located at Haliburton Home, tried the Double Down and lived, saw Justin reach his limit at the legendary Turkey Burger, they finally listened to me and had Retro Night at the Valley Drive-in, had visits to Rissers Beach, Crystal Falls and another Middleton car show, made it up to the Passage before Lloyds was gone for good :(... witnessed the biggest concert crowd in the history of the Annapolis Valley Ex for Trooper and saw the Dropkick Murphys at the Fabulous Forum in Hfx and met Ken Casey after the show, me, Barry and Michelle finally found the Hippy Houses, met and hung out with Randy and Lahey at Doolies and finally...OMG finally the Acadia Axemen Football team beat SMU and won the Jewett Trophy in front of a packed house at Raymond Field....



Oh ya and i got accepted to do my TESOL practicum at Acadia U this coming April....not bad for a dude who was told he was not going to last a year at Acadia back in 98....someone else said here comes another failure...hope they and some other people are eating crow right now...

I think Dad is watching over me still...miss ya big guy :)


It was the year of the dead dictator...good riddance Mommar, Kim-Jung and Osama...

The Habs took the Bruins to the limit in the playoffs and well suck this year so far...


Oh ya im going to see Deep Purple on the 5th of Feb...if this was 1972 everyone would think this was one cool development...


2012? Does the world end? What other bs is there? Does Hfx get some rocking concerts? Do i get my TESOL teaching licence? Do i stay in Canada? Does Hfx get to see of the Stones or Beach Boys 50th Anniversary tours? Will Axl and Slash fight on stage at the rock n roll hall of fame? Oh well only time shall tell...



Have a good 2012 folks...stay tuned...
