-The MMVAs are totally rigged. If they weren't, Justin Bieber and Drake wouldn't have won every freaking award. Seriously, that Bieber kid needs to get off my TV screen and radio before something really bad happens. I hope his 15 minutes are up soon. I'd rather gouge my eyes out than listen to this mindless drivel.
-Someone scored more than two goals in the farce known as the 2010 World Cup. Portugual destroyed North Korea by a score of 7 - 0, setting a record for this tournament, and possibly for the sport itself. The World Cup has had its share of crazy hijinks, from numerous games ending in zip-to-zip ties, to blown calls, to infighting on the French squad, which led to the resignation of a French official. And they call this sport "the beautiful game". Pfft. It's a complete lie. How can a sport be classified as "beautiful" if no one scores any goals half the time? Do bat-shit insane fans with annoying plastic horns (vuvuzelas) that cause hearing damage make soccer "beautiful" as well? I think not. Hockey did away with ties several years ago, and it's great that they did. In addition, the horns that are blown at hockey games are not nearly as annoying as those vuvuzelas are. Indeed, watching paint dry is more interesting than watching a soccer match. Yawn.
-The Montreal Canadiens, my former favorite team, traded away goalie Jaroslav Halak, who was the only reason why the team had such an impressive playoff run this year. Now that, dear readers, is how you shoot yourself in the foot, and guarantee a last-place finish next season. What GM Pierre Gauthier should have done is trade Carey Price, the inferior of the two netminders. Price is absolute garbage, and I fail to understand why management is so high on him. They think he's the next Patrick Roy, but in reality, he's one of the worst goaltenders I've ever seen. I know I said I've lost faith in the Habs before, only to regain it later on, but this time, it's for real. As a result of this boneheaded move, I am now officially a Blackhawks fan. I'll admit that I've actually liked the Hawks for a while now. I like their good combination of youth, veterans, skill, and chemistry. They are fun to watch, and are full of great players like Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, and countess others. Now comes a tough decision: Do I get a Toews #19 T-shirt, a Kane #88 T-shirt, or a Seabrook #7 one? Hmm. Tough decision, indeed.
-Today, three long years of writing stories, chasing people for interviews, and doing a lot of other fun stuff will culiminate in a grand ceremony in which I will be handed a diploma. That's right, folks. As of today at 3 PM, Concordia University becomes my alma mater (but definitely not my first one). I have to say, I've had an incredible run there. I've met so many wonderful people, and I've gained some valuable skills that will serve me well in the future. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Journalism department, its staff, and my fellow students for three great years. It's been a great ride, and I hope our paths cross again soon. For a guy that transferred from McGill, where failure seemed imminent, I managed to do a 180 and give some meaning to my education. And in my opinion, a meanningful education is a good education. Now comes the hard part - finding a full-time job in my field. It hasn't been easy thus far, but I remain optimistic. Hopefully I'll find a job soon.
That's all for now. I'll be back soon with more.
