Man, rereading some of the posts I've put on here makes me feel decidedly self-conscious. I think some times a lot of what I'm saying here comes out sounding contrived and cliched. Which is exactly the opposite of what I want.
I need to clarify a couple of things. While I do believe our civilisation is in decline, I believe the world we live in is an amazing and beautiful place. I don't want to come off here as being too cynical, it doesn't do anyone any good and it's something I'm really trying to improve on.I hate cynicism. And even more,I hate preaching.The world has enough preaching cynics as it is. So if I do it, slap me.
Also I don't want to compare this blog to art at all, in any shape or form. Not great art or bad art or anything. Let's face it. This is a blog. Nothing more glamorous than that. One of a million on the world wide web. This is simply a place for me to talk. To put ideas and other silly things like that.
So hopefully, with a little more care and practice I can improve the language and make this sound a little less heavy handed.
On the plus side, Canada performed wonderfully at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, culminating in a truly great moment last night when the Canadian Mens Hockey Team beat Team USA 3-2 in overtime to win Canada's fourteenth gold medal. The winning goal, assisted by Jerome Iginla and scored by Sydney Crosby will be remembered with the all-time great Canadian hockey moments.
I would also like to congratulate the Canadian Women's Hockey Team on their gold medal, and for embodying everything that makes ice hockey great. Their skill on the ice and especially, their sportsmanship, are unparalleled.
Oh, and St Kev, you are a champion.
