hey everyone.

so i started this blog, i'm not exactly sure as to why, but i thought that it would be fun and in the process, if my comments can put a smile on the face of some kenyan university student taking a break from their craming session, or some belarussian coal miner, net surfing after playing on-line poker, well then, thats a bonus.

as this is my first posting, i will outline what you may expect to find here, as well as some simple, non-negotiable ground rules.

- i am a sports fanatic. to illustrate this point, in 1991, i lay semi-conscious in a hospital bed, yet i asked my sister to fight through an hour and 20 minutes of traffic in order to fetch me a walkman so i would be able to listen to the maple leafs play game 5 of the conference finals. this blog will be predominantly about sports. i will occasionally discuss relationships, politics, sex, tv/movies, music, or food, but mostly sports

- as you may have already noticed, i dont pay much attention to spelling, grammar, syntax, or proper use of punctuation. please dont respond to me informing me that i mispelled 'supersilious' in my last posting. frankly, i dont care. i'm here to share my thoughts, opinions, views, and get on with my life.

- again, as you can tell by the crude 'bullets' that i'm using, im not interested in font or colours or any other bells and whistles. maybe down the road, but not now. besides, let's be honest, maybe no one will ever read this or i'll get bored and stop posting so, no point for now.

- i'm not here to offend anyone (at least, not deliberately) so if you have an opinion, i will respect it. i may not agree with it and i'll let you know, but i'm not here to 'get over' at anyone else's expense.

- i reserve the right to alter or change any of the above guidelines, or add new ones, if i see fit

here we go.
