I am not surviving 2020 only for this to occur....

I didn't shave my head for this. I said the same thing when the Celtics were bounced from the playoffs this past season. I'm up for a rude awakening, huh? Serenity Now. At least I've been warned. A miracle is needed. Not really....but it would be nice.

Strawberry Moon

A: If the moon whispered Zdeno Chára last year, what is it saying this year? 
B: Go outside and ask the moon. 
A: I don't know if lightning can be captured again. 
B: You believed the first time. 
A: I'm too brokenhearted. 
B: Get over it. Do you not want to be the patron saint? The draft is this Friday. It's a new season. Get on for the ride of your life, darlin'. The moon says to believe.
A: I want to be the patron saint and I believe. Thank you, moon.

Game 7

The Youngling: "It doesn't matter if you win or lose as long as you had fun". I had fun this season. Thank you, Bruins. 

Happy 2019

Mood: Boots by Kesha

The headline on the Bruins website: "Bruins Assign Urho Vaakanainen: 19-year-old defenseman will report to Providence (AHL)". To which I groaned. I said an expletive as well but I don't undermine the Bruins bigwigs. 

As I said on the other site, Dobs is my man rocket.

Go Red Sox!

Stamps

I really like this particular edition of stamps. This is the second time, this year, that I have bought these stamps. I'll buy another sheet soon. Thanks Beartown.

#54 Forever

Adam McQuaid, you are the wind beneath my wings. Best of luck in the big city.

What just happened? - a journal entry

The game started at 9 AM here. I've had 6 hours to process the end result. I am still raw. I think I might need another headache relief pill. I just need to cry and I'll be fine. I didn't openly weep in front of Marchand, yet. So I have that to look forward to. I watched WWE's "Blacklash" pay-per-view after the game. I thought, "I wonder if Jimmy Hayes is in the audience?" I watched Backlash with my three headed Mr. S items still facing the TV. Thank you to those who decided that Seth Rollins and Jeff Hardy should win their respectful bouts. Though it only dawned on me, half an hour ago, that it was Jeff Hardy that I saw win and not Broken Matt Hardy. See, I'm still in a haze. I also forgot my phone password and ATM code. Completely sober, just trying to come back to earth.

@brian5or6 (6 PM 5/6/2018) When I looked at the moon this evening, I whispered “Zdeno Chara”. I turned to go back in until I saw the moon drop one single tear #NHLBruins

Do you know how bad I am? I'm watching exit locker room interviews. I have to do this now.  I can't wait a week from now it will be worse then. Deal with this now so that I can move on. Fandom teaches you so much about love. I have a big heart especially for you, Dobs.

Khudobin please re-sign. They are going to win the cup next year and that makes me happy. Glass half-full. Thank you boyzzzzz, Thank you so much. Go Bruins!

INFINITE POTENTIAL. Always.




*****
Sobriety is a never ending process*
After the game I was texting my friend and I thought to myself, "I think I want a virgin lava flow". Which I don't want at all (sober: 15 years, 1 month and a day) and the darn thing doesn't even have alcohol in it. But neurotic me doesn't trust the bartenders enough to clean their equipment correctly/waitstaff to not remember to get me a virgin item. Then I guess I have to make one myself.  I just looked up a recipe for the drink. Yeah, it doesn't look so appetizing anymore. I live near a fruit boba tea place and I think I'll just go there tomorrow.

I went on Fanatics.com after the game and bought hockey cards, a Bruins shirt that may not arrive in time for my Mother's Day afternoon tea date and Bruins drink umbrellas. Which I hope doesn't make me a bad sober person. I have no idea what I'm going to use these umbrellas for. Stupid emotional roller coaster of emotions buying impulsive items. Insert swearing. Bleeping, eh I have to attend a meeting.

*As it damn well should be and it's a beautiful process with beautiful results.

Not my Bergy...

My song is so bad I injured #37 and #73.  This stinks. I pray for speedy recoveries. Though in good news, It was love at first sight. 

McAvoy 73

Oh, well it's not finished but I've been stuck on this song for awhile. Sweeney, don't allow this man to leave Boston. 

Updated 2/28/18. I don't know if I like this, still working on it.  McAvoy won (2/27) tonight's game. Good job, kid.

Good Luck Men. Game 7!

"The B’s sense that they have the better team, but they don’t have the right to say so until their execution matches their capacity. The Canadiens have had to withstand aggression from a bigger, more balanced team that has some playoff baggage at its side and a recent history of winning seventh games on home ice. There will soon be joy in one language and despair in the other. The celebration will be over in a few hours, but the regret will last all summer. The Canadiens and Bruins will meet in Game 7 on Wednesday night in Boston at 7 p.m. (NBCSN, CBC, RDS)" - by Brian Cazeneuve  NHL SI
