The Crane Wife

I don't have a whole lot to say in this post, but at the request of my fans I will put one up anyway. The title of this blog has no significance in regards to anything I will write, it is simply the title of a CD I highly recommend everyone listen to by The Decemberists, which is sitting directly beside my laptop. This weekend was a pretty damn enjoyable weekend for me. Friday night I was off work and had some people over to watch the Pens game. Very nerve-racking game. In fact, I think Shawn Collins stopped breathing at one point, and in fact may have had an aneurysm when the Pens scored the game winning goal. Well, maybe not an aneurysm, but we def. almost tackled each other onto a cement floor in joy haha. My dog also enjoyed the company during the game and made it a point to try and lick everyone's face and made sure that he rubbed his taint on Shawn's leg at least 5 times (is this where the nickname came from Shawn???), and fell asleep on Brandon mid-game. Good times had by all. Saturday I hungout and watched the NFL Draft...go Steelers! I think they had an overall solid draft. Got a nice player in Mendenhall who somehow slipped to them at #23, and then snagged Ben's tall WR in round 2 with Limus Sweed out of Texas. I also enjoyed the Ryan Mundy pick in the 6th round because he's a local boy. Also picked up the new Mario Kart on Saturday night, awesome fucking game folks! We'll have to play sometime if anyone out there has a Wii with a wi-fi connection. Today was a really good day for me. Went down to the Pens game with my brother and my friends Shawn, Dave, Misty, Steve and Ryan. Tailgated a bit and cooked some food on the mini-grill and then watched the Pens beat the Rags again. We also offered Stan Savran a hamburger but he declined. Who the fuck turns down a FREE, FRESHLY GRILLED, piece of beef? Not a man, thats for sure, so Stan gets my thumbs down for the weekend for his poor decision making *tisk tisk*. After the game I came home, hungout for a little bit and had a hockey game in which we put an absolute beating on a team. The 3 Stars of the game were Shawn Collins (3), me (2) and my brother (1) with his flying goal in mid-air and 5 goals total on the night. Hopefully we can keep it up because the Aztecs are on a roll! Well, I don't have a ton more to say here so I'll go before I say anything stupid because I'm sure, no, I'm HIV positive that this would occur if I continue to write. Goodnight everyone!
