HO HO HOOOOO EVERYONE!!!, How are you all doing, Merry Christmas to all. Boy wasnt that something. It was like straight out of a movie or something. A white Christmas, Never seen something like this down from where I was from. This was just the icing on the cake, topping off the best 3 months ever of my life. I couldnt be more giddy and happy. The metro area is in fact the place to be. Let me tell you all about everything leading up to this glorious occassion. The beginning of joy started last weekend, when I was outside shooting slapshots in my street. I was hitting all the corners, simulating powerplay shots and what not. Then all of a sudden I kept hearing sirens and stuff. Well what do you know, it was Santa Claus on a fire engine!! I quickly rollerbladed over to him and asked him, begged him to park behind the net and blast the siren each time I scored. It was so neat to hear the siren, it felt like I was a superstar. I would raise my hands in the air each time and pretend I heard crowd noise. They eventually had to leave, but that really made my day. I cant say enough for the nice people around here. Then the next day, I had to finish my XMASS shopping. I ventured down to a local mall. Boy it was packed. Now I know how you guys feel when you get off the team bus, or are walking thru the parking lots at games. In a way, it helped prepare me for the inevitable mob scene that we will be accustomed to, only I wasnt all burdeoned with signing autographs. The mall was wicked crowded needless to say, so I quickly did some shopping and drank some Starbucks Coffee in the food court. That night, I was able to score some tickets to see Proffesional Ice Hockey being played. It was Rangers vs. Devils, and I couldnt wait to see what it looked like live, and actually see the famous Madison Square Garden. I took a Bus to Sports Authority and decided to walk over. I dont know who the idiot is that named it that, cause it is not on Madison Ave, and its not square. If it wasnt for the nice man in another one of those yellow sedans, I would have never found the place. Upon arriving, I realized that I needed something to write in my program with. I couldnt be more lucky i thought, cause I saw a sign that said pen station. Can you imagine a place just for pens under the garden. I trotted down there, and then my mind was just totally blown away. This wasnt a Pen store, this was a mega train hub. There was an underground train station there, plus it housed above ground trains from all over the metro area. It was like the Sports Authority, only for trains not busses. This place is MetroCard heaven here. YOu can realistically go anywhere with the swipe of a card. The New York Rangers are smart for playing at this type of a facility, we should model our franchise after them. THen as I was walking to the entrance I noticed just how popular they Rangers are. All over the place, there were these black people asking for tickets. I didnt know mid town had so many hockey fans. Then I almost got beat up again, cause I saw one man asking for tickets, and right next to him was another black man selling them. I went over to introduce them, and they started calling me Cracker and threatened to knife me. Very odd behavior if you ask me. Once I got into the rink, i purchased a program and found a pen on the ground, so everything worked out. I couldnt wait to watch the game. I had my Brian Samer jersey on, and I was ready to roll. These people in the NHL are very good hockey players if you ask me. They must practice alot. THen the night got even cooler. I purchased a lucky program, and between periods I got invited down to the rink to participate in a contest. I had to you my touch to slide a puck into a Mercedes Benz emblem. The second I walked out and introduced, the fans started booing me real loud? Did we used to play the Rangers back in the day or something? I started quick sticking the puck and tried to saucer one in there. That didnt work, and the boos got louder. I was getting so fucking pissed. I then ripped a slapshot to show my power. That go everyone mad at me. "Samer Sucks" chant started, so took my stick and threw it into the crowd. People started chasing me, and tossed me out. I mean how can they boo a Fireblade? We are Americas Team!!! Well finally Christmass arrived. And that is when the snow came. I got so many new neat gifts from Santa. I got a black and white hockey helmet for home and away games. I got a new remote controlled sedan, a grass cather for the lawn mower, some xerox paper, a bunch of blank audio cassettes for mixes. I also got a couple of gift certificates from Marshalls, Kohls, and TJ MAX, 47, 100, 82 respectively. Once the snow started accumulating, I wasnt gonna let happen, what happened last time with plowing my self in. I grabbed the vaccum cleaner and tried sucking up the snow. My father got there too late, cause the vaccum shorted out, and he started screaming at me again and spanked me. I told him that I needed teh driveway clean in case of a Fireblade game. After the tears subsided, we had our XMass dinner. I think they understood where I was coming from. Mama made our traditional Christmas taco dinner and brautworst. It was so good, I got stuffed. We made cookies from the left over dough from the Fireblade Party. All in all, it was a really good holiday. I am gonna go look for a new vaccum cleaner now. As for New Years, I say we go to Times Square and watch the ball drop. WE can probably get on TV if we all wear our jerseys. IF you have any other ideas, let me know, cause I am up for anything. And by the way, I think our site crashed again. It hasnt been updated since December 13th. Something fishy is goin on again. I am sure we can over come this though. Have an awesome weekend, and i will check back in with you all soon. Your Bestest Blood Brother of a Buddy, #47 Doug Leftwich :-) 12/27/02 9:20 AM ____________________________ DUDES, THIS IS DUG AGAIN. Hope your days are all going well today. What I am about to tell you all might irk some of you, or as in my case totally piss you off. I was watching on video tape, Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals, Rangers vs. Canucks last night, to examine the post game celebration the Rangers did seeing if we can pick up any ideas from it when win. So around the 2nd period, something seemed really fishy, but I couldnt quite place it. Then all of a sudden, I realized that the Vancouver Canucks were wearing our JERSEYS!!!! Before I blew my top on their organization, I was gonna check with you guys to see if you knew that. I looked on NHL.COM and see that they changed their jerseys as well. Was that because of our doing, or did they think that it will just slip through the cracks. Well my anger and rage got the best of me, and I wrote them a few letters last night, and made about a hundred calls to the organization. I think we should sue them, surely they broke some type anti trust laws, stealing our insignia. How ironic is that, that an NHL team used to wear a Fireblade jersey. If you dont believe me, you should find some pictures of the Canucks pre-1997ish I think. Did you guys have any idea that this was going on? I put in a few calls to some reputed lawyers thinking we can at least agree to a settlement. We can probably take some of that money and refund the fans that missed our last game too. Alot of these lawyers are located in MiddleTown Manhattan on Park Avenue, but it still seems like the city to me. There is an underground E train that runs near that area from what I saw on the map at one of the underground train stations. People in New York are kinda dumb now, the more and more I am around them. Some idiot really needs to learn how to spell, before he gets more fellow New Yorkers like me lost. I needed to get some new hockey sticks, since Popa's tirade the other day, so while I was looking at the underground train station map, I noticed that there was a Sports Authority around 40th and 8th. I took an underground train to it, and it was not there. The train guy even said it was there on the loudspeaker when the train stopped. It turned out to be some type of transport hub. I walked around, and it was like an airport for busses. It was pretty cool. All different terminals going to several different locations. It was quite a HUB, with the underground trainstation hooked up to it. There was even fine dining located inside this structure. I am figuring that some angry transit workers during the strike negotiations took the S's off of Sports Authority to confuse people, so I wrote a letter to Mr. Bloomberg and the Pres of the MTA about it, and hopefully this will be rectified. Furthermore, after I left the old Sports Authority, I walked around this place Times Square. For the first time in my NY CITY life, I was really spooked out. I kept seeing all these yellow sedans driving and honking around me, and I thought each one was the fellow who drove me last night. It was like I was living a nightmare. This Times Square place was really neat with all the lights. We should all go hang out here one night as a team. It seems like the place to be in NYC. By the way, my parents said it would be ok for me to have a sleepover, so if any of you want to come, feel free. Flea and Samer are in already, it should be fun. My mama made her turducken ravioli's from the leftovers on thanksgivin. I might also sneak some cookie dough out too before the big XMass party. I am gonna go drink a Zima now and relax. See you this weekend or at next game. Thanx for making me feel part of this team again. I owe you guys big time. Your Blood Brother, #47 Doug Leftwich 12/18/02 6:02 PM ________________ |
