Arm wrestling would've been WAY better than this crap.

You know where I want my next job to be at? Summit Entertainment.

No, not because they historically produced mediocre small budget films that mostly focused on female leads and flimsy thriller plotlines. I don't want to work on the production side. Puh-leeze, those hours? No thanks.

No, no. I want to work in promotions, marketing, and publicity. Why? Because you apparently don't ever have to do anything in your job. You can put out a hard deadline to give an answer by, and then just not meet your deadline. Added end of the year bonus for not issuing an apology via your website.

Arm wrestling for a spot at Fan Camp would've been SO MUCH FASTER and MORE EFFICIENT than this random drawing. I mean, surely it's based on a really simple algorithm that I can google:

This is totally not right, btw.


I'm totally right on this one.

4,000 chicks waiting longer than it takes to turn into a vampire = REALLY ANNOYING AND LAME

4,000 chicks arm wrestling = awesome

In other news, Donald Fehr is still being a jerk.  Here's my open letter to the players: You're NOT GETTING 57%! STOP THINKING YOU ARE. This is WHY you're locked out. Because you're NOT going to get that. Take the 50% and get all the people you're taking work away from back into their jobs. I mean, really, I'm being serious. This $1.62billion "loss" is such crap when you look at the thousands of lives you are affecting by your petulance. And I don't mean the people wanting to watch you play hockey again and buy your shit so you can get 50% of the proceeds. I mean the people selling tickets to your games, cleaning up the arenas before and afterward, cleaning the ice, running the office, filming and producing your games, broadcasting your games, flying your private jets, cleaning your private jets, selling your products, selling food at the arenas. I mean THOSE people. Those people who ARE NOT WORKING NOW BECAUSE OF YOU. I DO NOT HAVE PATIENCE FOR THIS.

/end shouty caps

Don't you kind of wish this all ended here:
"I wanna be a vampire and, like, lurve you always and 4eva."
"Are you sure? Cuz it's kind of boring and I generally always act like a
whiny husband with a cold."
"I'm totes sure."
"LET'S DO THIS THEN!"

We would've had SO MUCH MORE free time.

A Letter To Gary Bettman & Donald Fehr

Dear Gary Bettman & Donald Fehr, the NHL, and the NHLPA:

You can't hurt each other without hurting me!

(Ahem) Please end the lockout... NOW!  There are many reasons I would like this to happen, one includes my actual RL future and general sanity, the others involve Daniel Cudmore, Bieksa, and an EFF YOU to the rude LAK fans from BD1 campout last year.

Basically, Nokia Live is directly next to the Staples Center, which means I'll be STARING at the LAK Stnaley Cup champions crap for FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS AND NIGHTS without being able to GO SEE A GAME.  That's just cruel, really.

What's even more cruel is that Nov 8th is the day that the Kings were scheduled to play the Canucks at home. The Canucks who I adore (except when they played Boston, who I adore more--family reasons). Now, I rooted for the Kings after they beat Vancouver in the playoffs because clearly they really wanted it, and good on them. BUT, as fun as it was to see their team being all grows up last season, I'd much rather see someone sexy like Bieksa on the ice than merely Dustin Brown.

And to see Vancouver play while Daniel Cudmore, who is a huge Canucks fan, sits next to me (with his girlfriend thing OR Tinsel Korey, whatever -- hat trick seats are easier to buy), that would be EPIC once in a lifetime awesomeness.

Oh man, do you guys remember when his hair was long like that?


But no, Gary and Donald, you have to be greedy multimillionaire assholes squabbling over scruples when the rest of us are sitting here in uncomfortable office chairs going, "UGH, I could've watched the Islanders play in the Barclays Center preseason game! The first hockey game ever played in Brooklyn. But no." and "UGH! No one needs to be furloughed if they'd just come to a stupid agreement. Wouldn't it be mature if they could stop acting like the US Congress and REACH ACROSS THE TABLE ALREADY?"

Your actions are screwing over everyone. Please STOP PISSING OFF the Twilight fandom.

Tinsel's happy because there was an NHL season that year!
Remember that? When people had souls...
