this is not easy to admit,but the last year has been very unique for me... people have no idea how unique last year was to me... first of all,my outlook on life changed on 7 Septembre 2011,when the KHL Lokomotiv Jaroslavl plane crash happened,because it simply taught me that life can be fleeting,and short... people think that life goes on,but when you see a literal funeral mass in a hockey arena,with about 20,000 people being so quiet,that you could hear a pin drop,and even though the mass may have been in Russian,i will never forget the other team that they were supposed to play that night,skate out,in full uniform,and around placards with every player's name,including coaches,on them,and then silently shoot a puck into their opponent's net(example for America would be a bell ringing ten times,for a ten count for fallen sports heroes,or celebrities,when at a sporting event)...
i was lucky to see my Green Bay Packers win fifteen,of sixteen games,last season,after winning Super Bowl XLV,and winning nineteen straight games,in the process,but a game is only a game,and they lost in the playoffs... i became part of the public ownership,of the Packers,right before Christmas Day,2011,and am very proud of it...
the Detroit Red Wings(my other team i root for,big-time,and also have a blog for them)had an interesting season,too,last season-won a NHL record twenty-three straight home games,but injuries to key players shortened their season,in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs,last season,and a game is only a game...
life is fleeting and short,and if you do not step back,smell the roses,and just realize that little fact,then what is life,people...
