GO FLAMES GO!!!!
Amazing.... finally a Canadian team is in the playoffs for the stanley cup. The flames won game three, making it 2 to 1 in the series for the flames.
Three Stars
1. Chris Simon: With a goal and an assist, he asserted himself on the power play and sparked the Flames with his physical presence.
2. Jarome Iginla: He registered a Gordie Howe hat trick -- a fight, a goal and an assist -- and led all forwards in even-strength ice time.
3. Miikka Kiprusoff: He delivered on the one crucial power play sequence in the third and posted his fourth shutout following a loss in this postseason. Now that's the definition of follow-up fortitude.
I haven't watched this much hockey since the Olympics....isn't it funny it is summer time and we are still watching hockey, isn't hockey meant to be a winter sport...makes you wonder....

Wow, it has sure been awhile since my last post, hope you are all doing well. Well the new company situation that I decided to finance is quickly becoming a bust. You know I really believe this business would fly, but with no more money and funding from the other parties side of things, I have been force to seek legal action and the help of a collection agency, I’m getting out!!!. Sad but true, but them the breaks in the business world I guess.
On another note, with summer finally here, I have been busy riding my bike all over town. It has been a wonderful adventure; bring me back to the days when I was just a little one…. Oh the good old days.

Hello everybody, it’s me, I’m back!!!
Well the first week has been an interesting one. Trying to get myself organized, and one of the companies I decided to interest in is turning out to be a bust even before it has started. This girl came to me and asked me if I would be interesting in giving her a loan to start her own business. The business plan she proposed to me was quite interesting I believed it was a real moneymaker. So I spent a lot of time this week trying to get everything all organized for her new business venture, and yup her true colors started to shine through. She doesn’t have an ounce of business knowledge in her. All she worries about is will I make enough money, will I be able to pay my bills. And on and on and on…Granted this is normal, but to a certain degree. I have already found enough clients to make her enough money, Double at the very least what she was currently making!!!
I tell her I wouldn’t have put my money in if I didn’t think she was going to make money, now I am thinking, hummm maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.
I am a believer that if you think positive good things will come to you, yet if you constantly play on the negative, your life quickly will become full of it. So I am left here wondering, do I get my money back and run for the hills and watch her stink, or do I just let nature take its course, and worse case scenario I lose my invested but I learn a valuable lesson…
Who really knows for sure?

Actual letter of resignation from an employee at Zantex Computers, USA, to her boss, who apparently resigned very soon afterwards!
Dear Mr.Baker,
As an employee of an institution of higher education, I have a few very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superiors have an intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of my co-workers and myself during the commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our time. Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired because I know how to network computer systems, and you were apparently hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the hundredth time.
You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will also never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you, even though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an IP is.
Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will. You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in others. You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that may have worked for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at. Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle. Seeing as this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced to tender my resignation, however I have a few parting thoughts.
1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal for you to give me a bad recommendation. The most you can say to hurt me is "I prefer not to comment." I will have friends randomly call you over the next couple of years to keep you honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on your own.
2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know every password you have used for the last five years. If you decide to get cute, I am going to publish your "favorites list", which I conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your useless files. I do believe that terms like "Lolita" are not usually viewed favorably by the administration.
3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your Mother' s birthday", you neglected to mention that you were going to take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to erase them like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd acts with a sauce bottle, but I assure you that those have been copied and kept in safe places pending the authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try to use a spell check please; I hate having to correct your mistakes.)
Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow. One word of this to anybody, and all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never f*** with your systems administrator. Why? Because they know what you do with all that free time!
Wishing you a grand and glorious day.

I Did it. And I got everything I wanted and more. Can you believe they actually had tears in their eyes. Oh when the ball is in your court, play it to your advantage.
Cheers
