“Never get caught telling a hockey player, “It’s just a game.” Never get caught trying to explain to him all the things in the world that matter so much more. His mind might well acknowledge the truth to your point, but his soul will be powerless to accept it, considering the immensity of what he gives to the sport and the immeasurability of all it offers in return. Nothing ever feels as perfect as a moment of flawlessness on the ice. No bond is strong as one that compels brothers to bleed for one another. Not many leaders are this versed in the craft of motivation . Not many pursuits can evoke such visions of brilliance. This is why it hurts so much when skill falls short of what the will desires. This is why it’s so unforgettable when absolute passion yields ultimate reward. And that’s all still just the start of what the game can do to you.”
Tina Fey & Jimmy Fallon - Summer Nights (SNL S29E20)

Long time no blog…
Wow haven’t blogged in almost a year. Guess I better get on that. It’s freezing outside and I’m ready for bed before Wheel of Fortune is over. #OldLadyStatus.
Snow Day= Valentine’s Day
I watched Valentine’s Day on my snow day and I forgot how much I LOVE this movie. Ashton’s character Reed has some great lines:
“When I was a kid, most of the advice that my dad gave me was crap. But there’s one thing that he said that was pure genius. He said, if you’re ever with a girl that’s too good for you, marry her.”
“Love is the only shocking act left on the planet.”
“The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.” - Marilyn Monroe
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. -Gandhi
Yes. I once made my own version of this. I should be ashamed that I copied something George Costanza did, but it’s just too damn good.
