I need to say this

OK, listen all you Detroit haters, if Detroit sucks, then why are they at the top of their division? Why have the won the Stanley Cup the third biggest amount of times in the NHL? Calgary only won 2. Why do you think they call Detroit Hockeytown? Come on people, don't insult the team that is better than your team!! By the way Derek, if the Oilers win the important games, why didn't they make the playoffs last year? GO DETROIT!!

Swearing

So, some say that swears are words, nothing more, and some say that they are rude, cruel, and that the people that say them are the same. But in the end...... They are just words. Saying them isn't the problem, I think. It's using swears to insult others that bothers people, including me. Cursing when your angry or you stubbed your toe is fine, at least that's my opinion. I don't have a problem repeating swears, like they're forbidden words or something, that will send me straight to hell, or heck, as others prefer. I just have never been allowed to use swears at home, so I automatically don't use them anywhere else, and nobody has a problem with that. But I really don't see a big deal in swearing, maybe that's just me, but I think they're just words. Why the heck were swears invented if they're so bad, anyway?

Harry Potter

I am a complete and total Harry Potter FREAK. I've read all the books, about 3 times each, and I've seen all the movies, about a zillion times each. And now, the fourth movie is out, and I am pretty darn impressed. I am a sucker for the Harry Potter franchise, for instance, right now I am reading about how they made Harry Potter 4 in a magazine. I've always loved the books, because of how they're told, and how magical they are, I guess I'm a sucker for creativity. I love the books, because they make me think, and I get such vivid pictures in my imagination. The books are intense, mysterious, funny, and extremely hard to put down. One night during the summer, I woke up at 3 in the morning, and decided that I might as well continue reading Harry Potter 6. I read and read. I could barely keep my eyes open, but I read until I finished. And it was totally worth it. I am proud to be a Harry Potter Freak!

Bragging: What I learned

Just pretend that your team of phenomenal players is going head to head with the worst team ever. You think you know who's going to win. But, as I just learned the hard way, don't brag until the END of the game, when you've hopefully won. When you brag, and the other team wins, it only makes them feel good, and we can't have that! So brag after the game's over, and only if you win. If you don't brag, and your team wins, you can brag like crazy after. But if your team loses, and you bragged before, then you will be bugged to the death. For instance, when Detroit played Calgary, I made the mistake of bragging when Detroit scored in the first two minutes, that Detroit would rip Calgary to pieces. Result? Calgary wins, and I'm stuck in a car with two Flames fans, going crazy over the win. The next day, as though I hadn't learned my lesson, I said that the Oilers would be ripped to pieces, because Detroit was up 3-1 in the 3rd period. Result? Edmonton wins 5-4 in OT. So, just to make it easier, brag after.

Hockey: Detroit vs Calgary

Well, though many people hate me for this, my favorite hockey team is the Detroit Red Wings. Not just because they can kick any teams butts, and they are top in the league, but because when I watched my first Stanley cup game, they were playing, and they won, so I became in love with their hockey team. But just because I cheer for the Red Wings, doesn't mean that I don't like the Flames. I do. They just come second. So Detroit has beaten Calgary once this year, and Calgary has beaten Detroit, and it's probably better off that way, because though I really want Detroit to win, I don't want to get beaten up, and I don't want to be bugged like hell if Detroit loses. So to me, no matter who wins, I get bugged for it. But if, or rather, WHEN, Detroit wins the Stanley Cup, I can tell you that I will be pretty darn happy.
