New wallpapers! One of them is a big thank you to the Montreal Canadiens for such a wonderful season because they have given me the season of my life as of now. I know they played their hearts out and every Canadiens fan that there ever was cannot thank them enough. Also, a fun little wallpaper of nothing but big guys on a little rink and a little bit of fun.

It's important to be silly everyonce in a while. Penguins vs Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Finals, guys. Should be good. I don't want the Penguins to win because next season I'm supposed to be going there to go watch a game in Mellon Arena and if tickets keep going up and selling out I won't be able to get any! I need to go there.

I actually am probably going to Dallas to go see the Stars, and maybe Tennessee. We're not sure yet, we have to wait till we get the season schedule with I believe comes out in June?

LOOK HERE: I want to get affiliated with hockey-related websites. So if you run one, or know one, please help me! I know this site doesn't appeal much to the average person so I'm trying to get more people here that would appreciate all this stuff! So help me out!

I started working on this wallpaper during game four of the second series for the Canadiens, and well, I got a little put off by it after they lost and I finished it a few days ago and thought I'd put it up anyways.
So my Canadiens lost.. I was very upset. It's sad when a team plays so well that it's almost impossible that we don't win.. and then this happens. But, what can I say, it wasn't meant to be. And there is next year. Next year will be a big deal, the Canadiens 100th year and we'll be hostin gthe All-Star game and all we'll need after that is Mr. Stanley, and boy would that be great. I hope it can happen. But can we manage two straight season of being on top? Will we play just as well? I don't know, but I certainly hope so.
I had a very eventful day yesterday, and I think I've had enough of being lost to last me the rest of my life. We were lost for an hour and a half about 45 minutes away from my house. Broke the law about six times and didn't get home in time for our curfew. It was terrible. It involved too much crying and freaking out. I never want to do it again.

TOday is going to be boring. But I'm going to put up 40 new stock images and that wallpaper. So at least I'm doing some work on the site =)

So I may have been gone forever, but I'm still here. I've had a lot to keep me busy and off the computer and I hope everyone can understand that.
And I am very aware that my not-logging-on is losing me visitors to my site. But I plan on sticking around for a while.

Updated the look, hope you guys like it.

I Will make some wallpapers to make up for my absence, but at the moment I have none. School is keeping me very very busy, aswell as friends and all that nonsense.

Sorry I'm keeping this short, but I'm planning on doing a little bit more work on the site =) Thanks guys!

I hope you guys liked that last post. I haven't had the time. I've had friends over like every day and I've been out. Tonight is prom and all my friends are going so I've been helping them with everything. Plus, I've signed up at the gym so I've been going there a lot, getting my stuff together.
But, prom is tonight and I'm not there. I wish I could see every one dressed so beautifully. I'm only a Junior, and I will go to prom next year. I'm thinking me and my friend are gonig to drive up in a Mercedes or Corvette. Just the two of us, looking fly.

Besides that, it's March Madness every body and I'm trying my hardest to keep track. I've made a bracket online and I'm keeping it up with it every day (even if just started today) it counts my points and hopefully I win!

Not much else besides that. And the Canadiens game is starting in three minutes!

Oh and, SPRING BREAK! WOO! =)

11 maybe interesting things about me:

I like to mock people (in a funny way, it is my sense of humour)
I can eat refried beans straight out of the can.
I can not stand gossip.
I like rough scratchy voices in my music (ex. The Flatliners).
I would love to dress like they did in the 1860's.
I enjoy talking like Russians.
I can never say the word 'garage' correctly.
I think downtown Buffalo has some charm to it.
I thinks drugs, excessive drinking and smoking are the ugliest things anyone can do.
I love hearing Torontonians say 'about'.
I die when people say 'I thought about you..'

I have been swallowing the book Gone With the Wind. It is absolutely the best thing I've ever read in my life. I also printed the New York Time 100 best Novels of all time (on the third page) and I plan on reading every single book on the list. Gone With the Wind isn't on it, but I started reading it after buying a copy at an antique store and I am just head over heels in love with it. I've watched the movie three times in two weeks. It's marvolous. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it.
I spent last weekend in Atlanta, three days in the beautiful city. I got to see the Atlanta Thrashers play the Minnesota Wild. I had a wonderful time, it's nice to go to other arenas to see other teams play, and to be able to visit other cities. I adore Atlanta for it's history and it's extravagence. I love downtown, and I love looking over the entirety of Peachtree Street from the hotel balcony. I love it there.

Besides that, I have been busy with building my other site, and I haven't been doing much for this one. Plus, the computer has been funny so I had no time for wallpapers or to work on this site whatsoever. Reading, homework, hockey and life has been keeping way to busy to work on things.

And another congratulations to My Montreal Canadiens for keeping up their beautiful play, excitement for the game and their energy. They're my heroes!

Pictures soon! Thanks for reading! Thanks for visiting!

There is nothing in the world as amazing as seeing these guys, that I have followed and watched and supported have success. While everyone at the beginning of the season had no belief, I did, I knew they could do it, and my team went out and showed even their own fans what they are capable of.

Montreal Canadiens, you are amazing.

I will support them and cheer for them and follow them forever, win or lose, but of course, the love I have for these guys shows a lot more when they are winning. I could ask for more, but I have enough for now. Thank you, Habs.

I have been missing yet again. Let me describe me tell you the events in a few words. Sickness, death, work, lack of time, disappoinment, and hockey. Yes. I don't know if I want to elaborate on each. I have had the flu for almost a week. It hurts, it's annoying but I'm living through it. I am behind on school work, I didn't go to school for two days, and I don't feel like ever going again. I just want to sit at home in all my misery. School stinks.

The disappointment comes from the hockey. Bob Gainey has traded away my favourite hockey player, Cristobal Huet, for a SECOND ROUND DRAFT PICK. To goddamn Washington. I don't even know what to do. I miss him already. I wish it had never happened, I want my Cristobal back. I have expressed my view on this to many times (even though it's been about 24 hour since) I don't feel like typing it.

On the bright side, I'm taking a weekend to go to Washington to see Cristobal Huet and the marvolous Sergei Fedorov.
The rest I don't want to share. On the other bright side, hockey game tomorrow. There are two teams I have never seen play in the Easter Conference, the New York Rangers and the Ottawa Senators, and I'm going to see the NYR tomorrow! Fantastic!
And working on the new website, I'm pouring my heart into it. Kind of. Snould be up in a couple weeks.

All for today!

I have been missing from this site for a couple of days now. You may wonder where I have gone to, but I am here. Sitting here, not doing any work on this site. But I have a good reason! Actually, I have 2 good reasons.
First, I have been very busy with schoolwork, and I am going to a hockey game almost everything other night. During hockey game nights I am at home from 3 to 4, then I am gone until about 11 pm. I don't have time for anything but that one hour to do homework. My second reason, which is what I have been doing those other nights that I don't go to games is I have been working on ANOTHER website! Yes! Another!
But don't get too excited, I am not revealing the name or the address until it is completely finished. I am so excited about it I have been working on it every minute I am sitting here. That has been since about 7:30 tonight.. so that would make it 3 hours so far tonight. Pretty good!
Also, I am getting around 50 visitors a day! How awesome is that! =) I need to definitely put up more content to keep those visitors coming, but mots of all, THANK YOU! for visiting my site! I appreciate every single one of you!

Have to make a blog for this, it just made my life:

I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Hope you guys like it.

Click for the new wallpaper. I just finished it today, took about two hours to make. I'm proud of it. It is currently my wallpaper aswell =)

Now for the good stuff. The Montreal Canadiens played an awesome game last night. Or more like, they played an awesome weekend. Sweeped the Flyers in a home and home series. 4 points for the weekend, and we are now tied with the Ottwawa Senators for first in the Conference. That's how amazing they are. \
Saturday night, the first of the two games against the Flyers I was at the RBC Centre. Well, I was only there for an hour. The Hurricanes were about to play the Panthers but I really wanted to go home and watch my Canadiens and so that's what I did. I was in the arena and everything, and I left. I'm going to a Hurricanes game on Tuesday and Thursday anyways, so it's not a big deal. I just couldn't handle missing more big games.

My graphics other than this wallpaper have been very half-assed this whole week so I've not really saved anything. I need to work on the website and I keep doing everything but.
I'm not updating much either, and I apologize. I have gotten I believe four new affiliates this week, and I'm looking for a couple more. I just need to get more content up. Look out for new tutorials soon, stock images, and more wallpapers probably.

All for today, enjoy your Presidents day!

The only thing that has been on my mind all day has been Richard Zednik, who as injured last night when Jokinens skate blade cut his throat. He's in intensive care and is in a stable condition, but I cannot believe what I saw.

He has always been one of my favourite players, and this makes me hurt inside.

I wanted to post this to say that my thoughts are with him and his family, aswell as my prayers.

We love you Zed!

New layout! I've changed it twice in three days. I didn't like the yellow one, featuring Mike Komisarek, and I thought this would be more suttle, but still nice, and I have gotten a lot of compliments on this design. I had also added it here as a wallpaper not long back.

I don't have much to say, besides that I'm going to the Hurricanes game this Saturday, against the Panthers and then Wednesday, against the Bruins. Not bad. I'm excited.

I am very unhappy about how the Canadiens played yesterday night. Very unhappy. I was almost in tears. We went from being one point behind the Sens to letting them score 2 goals within the first two minutes of the period, one within 22 seconds! It was terrible!

That is all for tonight. Enjoy the layout, and also, I put up 45 new scans from books and magazines.

The music is on so loud, I probably wouldn't hear someone breaking in to the house.

I have the urge to make sloppy little watercolor design on illustrator, which brings my attention to a little drawing I did I thought would be fun to share. Take a good look, but please don't steal. It's not completely finished, I have to do the smoke and a background. It's going in my portfolio, if I don't get sick of it by then and think it's ugly. I probably will.

I have no confidence, I know.

I'm going to work on a new layout, proboably today, and I'm planning on opening a subdomain with the name Gasoline Rainbows, taken from a paragraph from The Catcher in the Rye that I was reading today. It's my favourite book. Ever.

I went ice skating last night, and I feel great. I am going again tonight. And this Friday I am getting a good amount of money from the parents to buy hockey equipment, the stuff I don't have yet. I bought some very good looking gloves two days ago off of Ebay Take a look. I already have a very gorgeous pair of ITech gloves but I couldn't just let those go for a little over 15$. They're just too fabulous.

If I don't like the way they fit, I am hanging them on my wall. Beside my Lafleur jersey. I'll take a better picture when I actually get them. Should be in a couple of days.

canadiens game at 2 today. I love afternoon games, I am always busy Saturday nights and this way I don't miss any of the action. Go Habs Go!

The NHL All-Star game just finished. How marvolous it was. I just love it. It's nice to see all the guys enjoying themselves and taking the stress of the regular season off their shoulders. They don't have to worry about points or winning or losing, just chilling. THey all looked so happy!

Andrei Markov of the Montreal Canadiens made it, he didn't participate in much, but it was nice to see a guy who's so deserving. Zdeno Chara had a monster 103 mile an hour shot! amazing! Ovechkin was easily my favourite of the nice, during the breakaway contest he tried so many fun and unique things and you could see he was really enjoying it, he was laughing and aborbing the crowds energy. Too funny!

Sorry I haven't updated in so long! I'm working with Chase, of Deathscream to get Cutenews working on the site.. it's a real pain in the butt, I'm trying to figure out but it's not cooperating. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

Also, I'm going to the Leafs game Friday... lovely.

I'll leave you with a lovely...Leafs suck! Take care.

I just found out I am definitely going to the Edmonton Oilers game this Friday. I'm going to get to see the marvolous Sheldon Souray. And I'm probably going to go get autographs Friday morning, at least, that's the plan. I am going to the New York Islanders game on the 22nd. My sister wants to go get autographs from them too, but to tell you the truth, the Islanders don't excite me much. I should get DiPietro's signature though.. that'd be a good idea..
Should be exciting. The family and I might have plans to go to Pittsburgh in a couple of weeks to see the Canadiens play at Mellon Arena (Fleury, Armstrong.. not to forget Crosby..). We made a deal that we'd go sit in Mellon arena at least once before it gets torn down, which is probably going to be next season.
And as promised, a picture of my completely signed Canadiens jersey. Beautiful, I know.

I have another tutorial to put up, and I'm going to be making a couple more this week sometime, maybe today. There are so many tutorials out there, and it's so easy to just search them on google, I'm going to take a different approach. Sure, you want to know how to make graphics and how to get your own site, but hey, there are lots of other fun things in life that you can educate yourself with, so I'm going to be bringing a little extra to the mix- how to do creative things that aren't on the computer. I'm going to take a couple of my talents (all artsy stuff) and show you how to be as great as I am =) (Well, that's exaggerating, not THAT great, but you can try)
And now all the internet thinks I'm conceited.. not quite so, my friends.
I made a Michael Ryder wallpaper, titled One Goal, but I don't know if I want to put it up as a wallpaper or use it as a layout. Both? Maybe.
Check out the new stuff, crocodiles.

Life is ridiculously busy.

I plan on putting up a couple of pictures tomorrow, when I get back from school from exams.

And probably more fun stuff because I hate to admit, my site is kind of boring.

After leaving Atlanta, we went to Tampa where we stayed for a lovely five days. The weather there was around 75-80 degrees farenheit. I spent Christmas day sitting in the pool outside! (And friend complimented me on my tan when I came back to this 40 degree weather in Carolina)
We stayed at Embassy Suites in downtown Tampa, right near the wonderful Channelside drive (a street of very nice restaurants and other things such as movie theatres) also just a bock from St Pete Times Forum.
The Night before the game I, with the family, waited outside the Embassy to catch the guys coming back from their 6 o'clock practice. I got about half the teams autographs, and we waited around a little to catch them coming back from supper for more autographs. I also met a new friend, a 26 year old who manages musicians. She was a die hard Habs fan and a lot of fun to be around, we hung out for pretty much two days.
The day of the game I waited outside till they finished their morning practice and got the guys I was missing. Along with Mr. Bob Gainey, Kirk Muller and an autograph from Cristobal Huet on my drawing that I drew of him.
Now, for the game!
I have never been to the Bell Centre, but I would imagine it was something like the Forum that night. Everywhere I walked, I heard more French than English, I saw more Canadiens jersey than Lightning jerseys. THe game started, I heard more Go Habs Go! cheers than anything else. Ridiculous. It was insane. A good game aswell. The Canadiens beat the Lightning 5-1. Although, if the Lightning would have had a better goaltender I would have bet the score would have been more even. The Habs were laying it on thick.
I didn't get sick of cheering, but felt bad for the Lightnings offense who were giving it more effort than their goaltending situation was. Cristobal was a brick wall, as usual. And I have to say, despite popular belief, I really do like Cristobal more than that Carey Price (don't get me wrong, he's absolutely marvolous, but I like Cristo's veteran presence, and calmness he has in the net that other goaltenders don't)
I will go on for years. But it's my blog, so what!
Oh, last but not least, I have to give these guys some credit, they make me laugh, they have wonderful insight into Canadiens games and I'd love to promote them. Sign up, give them a listen- Podcast.Habscast.com =)
More tomorrow!

I'm going to take my next few blog posts to talk about each city individually because no matter how much I try I can't fit it all into one blog (it'd be too long and too summarized, it wouldn't do my trip justice.
Starting with Atlanta, I don't have much to say as far as this game.The Canadiens played a solid game, the offense and defense were working it, all down to when the Thrashers tied it up and brought it to OT and then the shootout. I have to say (though known for saying the Canadiens always win,) that I didn't expect them to win it. The Canadiens aren't very good at shootouts, and I pretty much really dislike that part of the game. Needless, to say, we lost. Just as I was expecting.
So, my vacation did not being well, but at least we got a point out of it. Better than nothing, and good solid play, and best of all, I was there to see it all happen.
About the city, despite what I've heard, Atlanta is absolutely gorgeous. I would go again in a hearbeat. That's to say, I was in the more rich area of the city, and we encountered no problems. They have a marvolous Olympic park right beside our hotel which I had the opportunity to look down on as I sat outside on the balcany of The Mariott downtown.
Their arena, is also just beautiful. I can easily say it's the nicest arena I have been to.
All for that, stick around for Tampa later.
