It was another night at Rhino alone. I still think these nights label me as some kind of drunk. But I have such a good time up there. Meeting random people, getting good sports talk when not hanging with Dan(the fake grog member). And I get great Grog material. All in all, its always a good trip.

The people who are advocates of the handicapped made a big, and wildly sucessful, push to change how people refer to them. They're not mentally or physically handicapped anymore. They're "special". All this has done to me is give me a different word to call myself when I do something stupid. So at least once a day. I'll look at what I've done and go, "wow, I sure am special today."

I'm not sure if that's another point for me going to hell, but it probably is.

I have to turn my in nuts in right now. Its a sensative subject that guys just shouldn't talk about.

My new shoes.

I got a pair of Doc Marten boots on saturday. I had to travel around for a couple of hours to get to the appropriate store. But I bought them. And yes, I realize that that alone is enough for me to have to turn in my card that says I'm a male. But my sweet new 8 eye boots give me blisters. I'm toughing it out and just taking the pain and letting the calouses(spelled wrong, eat me) form. But damn, that's some pain I never wanted. And all you women, what one of you who read this, who have dealt with this kind of shit for your whole life...

Damn, impressive. Dumb like me, but impressive.

I've been spending too much wonderful, wonderful time up at Rhino. I got called Cliff Claven(ala Cheers) tonight. It was a compliment because I'm a fan of Rhino and it would totally rule to be the Cliff of Rhino. But damn, I've been logging too many hours there.

And now, the sports commentary.

The Blackhawks produce the best goalies in the league. Belfour. Hacket. Hasek. Brodeur. These are names that need no first name they are so good. They just dominate. The next TWO entries into this category, Thibault and Anderson. That's Jocelyn and Craig, respectively. I have no idea how the 'hawks produce such amazing goalies so consistently and yet still manage to blow major chunks. But they do. All you have to do, to be a great goaltender is get into the 'hawks system. They just do something very, very right for that position.

Now, if only they could figure out the rest of the ice, I'd be set.
