Forever a Canuck

We are all Canucks! You can never know what that means unless you are a die hard Canucks fan. We are a different breed, cut from a different cloth. We reflect the city and culture we live in. Yes we are quick to jump on the band waggon when things are great and even quicker to jump off of it when things go wrong. We yell Lou instead of boo, we make stupid parody songs as our anthems. We started towel power and will wave them until our arms fall off.  We have suffered through the ugliest uniforms. We have been so close to victory but have felt heartache too many times. We have gotten our hopes up so many times for great teams to only see our dreams dashed.




For the last two years we have watch as the Blackhawks have had our number. They taunted us, beat us up and humiliated us. We could do nothing to stop them. We watched as they hoisted the cup last year all knowing that it could have been us. This year was round three. They say the third time is a charm. We bullied them the first three games then decided to take a nap. It all came down to a game seven. Sixty minutes wasn't enough so fittingly it went to overtime. But this year was different. We finally beat our arch ermines and removed the thorn from our side. We proved that we are the better team. This year it's our time to raise the cup.

Off to round two. Lets go blue.

Beauty and the Beast

You are the most beautiful thing nature has ever created.  When I look at you I can't help but smile. Your beauty radiates from you and melts my heart every time I see you. You make all the pain go away, all my problems disappear. I can't stay mad at you no matter how hard I try. Once I catch a glimpse of you I turn to mush and I realize how wonderful you are. How wonderful you make my life and how wonderful we are together. We are the perfect contrasts to one another. You make me better and I make you better. The perfect team. We have been since day one. You can call it fate or call it destiny but we were made for each other.

I can't imagine what I would be like without you. You are the reason I get out of bed in the morning. You give my life purpose, meaning and direction. Without you I would be lost. Some how you found a way into my heart and you took it over. You showed me what love is. You taught me that it is okay to love some one and that it is okay to be loved.

You are wonderful in every way. All your little quirks that make you who you are. Your imperfections make you perfect. I would never change a thing about you. I love you so much!

Black soul

I know you are there. I can feel you, sense you. You are all around me, slowly closing in on me. I know you are pushing me, seeing how close you can get before I cower to you. I catch all the little games you are playing. The shadows I see or the sounds you make, the chills you send through the room. How you invade my dreams and fill them with terrible things, horrors that no one could ever imagine. Is this a glimpse into the world that awaits me? Maybe I will be lost wandering around helplessly in this abyss. I know you have been here a long time. Always at a distance, just a blur out of the corner of my eye. I have never been able to make out your face, but as you get closer your features begin to get defined. I know that soon I will be looking you in the eye.

I am different from the rest and you know it. Does that frustrate you? I have never backed down from you, never given in or feared you. Maybe that is what attracts you to me. I am what you are not, what you never were and never will be. You come to try and steal me to make yourself stronger, more powerful. You see the darkness inside me and want to make it your own. You are lost in that abyss desperately trying to confuse and weaken me enough to drag me in with you. If you succeed I will be lost forever and will be yours for the taking.You can lurk in the dark forever but you will never have any power over me. I will never back down and will never let you defeat me.
