Would you believe after all this time my finger still isn’t healed from that little shower fall? It would appear the amateur doctors (ie. friends and family) I’ve spoken with have probably been right, it’s likely a second or third degree sprain. Which means ice it within 48 hours.. oops. So where to next? Not sure.. I’ve learned to play guitar using my middle finger and thumb to hold the pick, I’ve learned to carry things without the use of the index finger. Perhaps like the cavemen I shall just learn to adapt. Or go to the doctor. I’m on the fence right now.
So my picks got spanked by the Rangers – for every intelligent upset I pick I often will put too much faith behind another team. I thought the Thrashers would be hungry for it, and appeared to have been sculpted in the same mold as the Hurricanes last year with a solid core group of young stars surrounded by rental veterans. Alas, it was not to be. Count me as one of the many who think the blame lies more with Hartley than Waddell, I’ve long thought Hartley has no place on an NHL team.
I’m still addicted to Facebook. If any of you are on it and I’m not your friend go ahead and add me. Good times. I spent last night uploading old pictures of friends, which isn’t likely to sit well with them when they figure it out.
Finally, another school shooting, this one even bloodier than the past. Once again, we’re patching bullet holes with band-aids when we throw the insanity blanket over the shooter and simply declare him as some crazed, evil lunatic who finally snapped. There’s a reason these shootings happen, whether it’s PC to say that or not. I’m not attempting to justify them, of course, it’s a horrible thing. But I find it upsetting that rather than find out why they happen and working to fix that root problem we simply pass it off as simply as we can and move on. Thankfully these shootings don’t happen often, but until we learn why these kids feel this is their only option they’ll continue to happen. Regardless, my prayers go out to all of those affected, and to the hope that society can find a way to solve things.
