Bottle up and explode!

"wake me up when september ends"

One word totally personifies this day: snow. Sweet sweet snow for the whole state to enjoy, especially those here at TCNJ. No classes after 3:30, that's fine by me. Wanna cancel my spanish, no complaints at all. My professor sent an email telling us he was sick, but I tend to believe the man just hates snow. Last time we had snow he was quite paranoid and edgy, so I hope we get plenty more snow before spring break to keep good ol otero away.

Today I relaxed for over half the day, a very rare occurance. I wrote a 10 page paper last night so I think the break was a little necessary. Having to write an essay on photos is not on my list of relaxing ideas but I will say that I did have a little fun writing about it. Is that strange? Yes. Do I have some kind of brain malfunction? Probably. Will I stop it with these questions? ...no.

I am watching hockey right now and it is making me so very sad. I realize now that I haven't written about the cancelled season in here yet, maybe because I really just don't want to believe it happend. Take an event you do regularly in your life, something that means a lot to you, something that you look forward to every year. Now imagine it being cancelled. Yeah, it is like that. I truly believe that the owners and players are both mother fucking assholes for putting the fans through this. The players are greedy and the owners let it come to this point, both of these groups are to blame for this abomination. They cannot agree on a salary cap amount, how pathetic is that. The owners wanted 40 million and the players wanted 52 million...they couldn't just make the total 46 and compromise. In my eyes these guys are stubborn, selfish dicks who can just go and be babies as their game get's destroyed. Many fans will not come back to the NHL if there is a season next year and I can't blame them. Why should you support a group who had no respect for you. I may blame both sides, but when I speak of the groups I mostly mean the leaders: Gary Bettman and Bob Goodenow. These men are destroying hockey and both deserve to be fired, fined and if it were up to me I would like to see them stoned...biblical style. It has become a battle of egos for these men, they have completely lost their vision for hockey and have let this whole issue become one big dick waving contest. I hated bettman before this, now I loathe him. He has been slowly destroying the game by bringing hockey into horrible markets, changing names of conferences, not paying attention to the fans, allowing the game itself to slow down and has been the head of a company which has not made money since 1994. Any CEO who heads a company that stays in debt for 11 years should have been fired long ago. This man doesn't even know hockey, he was a comissioner in basketball. BASKETBALL! Talk about a game that fucking blows(professional at least), do we really want someone who doesn't know a thing about hockey to lead the league. No, Bettman must go or more fans will. I am pissed off, but I still love hockey...I will come back when hockey does, but the game will never be the same. Thank you Gary Bettman and Bob Goodenow, you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves.

Glad I got that rant out of the way, it has been bugging me for a while.
