I have a feeling I'll be saying that until the day I shuffle off this mortal coil. I realize that's a mixed metaphor, but that's how I role. 

 

Life is weird, great, grand, tough, indifferent and stupid at different times. Sometimes all of those at once. The juxtaposition of smacking you with bad stuff counteracts the supreme bliss of the good stuff. It also keeps one humble. 

 

It's all part of the game, I suppose, so I have no qualms in the end. Just saying stuff to say stuff.

 

So yeah, I'm nearing my 36th trip around the celestial yellow orb that nourishes us and I feel rather ambivalent about it. However, mundane things like PLAYOFF HOCKEY stir my blood and make me happy. 

 

The Buffalo Sabres launch their campaign for their first Lord Stanley's cup on April 15th. This date coincides nicely with Tax Day, the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, Lincoln's death, Pol Pot's birthday and the Arirang Festival (of course, most of us know this as the festival held to celebrate Kim Il-sung's birthday). 

 

Oh yeah, it's the day *I* was born too. 

 

But the 15th of April isn't just a harbinger of bad things. It's also the birthdays of Leonardo DaVinci, porn actress Seka, 80's pop singer (er, one-hit wonder) Samantha Fox, Hermione Granger (er, Emma Watson), and NHLer Ilya Kovalchuck.  Also on the plus side, it's Jackie Robinson Day.

 

So yeah, there we go, a blog entry about nothing, but hey - Seinfeld made an industry out of that!
