Top 10: Reasons Women Should Watch Hockey

View From Venus in The Soko

10. You can pick up terms to later use as dirty talk (slapshot anyone?)

9. It's way more fun to watch someone score than to actually score with someone.

8. It's not enough to be ignored by your boyfriend while you're having dinner together, you'd like to spend a couple more hours being ignored while he's glued to the TV.

7. You can use it to help him understand how you feel. "Remember when Sundin missed the empty net with only 1.4 seconds left at the end of the third period, down a goal? That's how I feel when you leave the toilet seat up."

6. Your man will be just as turned on watching you scarf down beer and Cheetos as you are when he does it.

5. It's a good "ice breaker" on a first date. Horrible.

4. It's a really good time to bond with your boyfriend. I mean, how often do you get to sit and really talk about scoring statistics and unfair penalty calls?

3. You'll really start to appreciate the finesse of skating, the sophistication of the plays, and the art of the "jerseying" manoevre.

2. Guys are so hot with bloody noses, black eyes, and missing teeth.

1. There just aren't enough hockey fans in Canada.

This is all I have to say about monday's....

Listen to the Answers

"interesting questions to find out about someone..more than just what's your favorite colour:
can you describe one of your parents?
can you think of 3 or 4 childhood memories?
how would you describe your real self compared to your ideal self?
what was it like living with your siblings?
.....the way in which someone answers these questions may or may not explain how they view and live life in general..."

Curious quote taken from my friend Roxy's Blurty Spot...It got me thinking to what I would actually say to answer these questions.Roxy doesnt need any introduction, but I will say that she says the most deep and intricate things when you least suspect it. And she always has some kind of funny story to tell! I love that Roxy is Roxy, and notbody else. I can totally see how this would open up a whole new world of questions and understanding about anohter person. I think I'm going to ask some of these this week...see what kind of responses I get, see what I can learn about those around me. We could learn an aweful lot I suppose if we would but stop and listen...mmmhmm, it's true! Click on the title bar for more from Roxy's World :)

Life So Broken

I’m in shock, I’m in wonder
That you desire
To use a life so broken
Hands so empty

I’m amazed,
I’m humbled
The way these ashes
Have been taken from the fire

Restored to beauty
All I know is that I desire
For you to have
For you to use
…this life so broken
…these hands so empty
…my hurtful ashes

So that they will know
So that they will seeMY GOD
Who takes a life so broken and makes it whole
Who takes hands so empty, makes them overflow
Who takes awful ashes, makes them beautiful

Knowing VS. Ignorance

I asked for it,and I recieved it.
It's good to know where we are in the scheme of things.
I think that at the moment of "defining" it is necessary to see things as they are,
to be honest and to not just see them for I want them to be.
I wonder however if we could just go back

even for a moment
to be in the state of not knowing?

C.S. Lewis on being "In Love"

"Being in Love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. Now no feeling can be relied on to last in its full intensity, or even to last at all. Knowledege can last, Principals can last, habits can last; but feelings come and go. In fact, whatever people say, the state called 'being in love' usually does not last. If the old fairy tale ending ' they lived happily ever after' is taken to mean 'they felt for the next fifty years exactly as they felt the day that they were married', then it says what probably never was, nor ever would be true, and would be highly undesirable if it were. Who could bear to live in that excitement for even five years? What would become of your work, your appetite, your sleep, your friendships? But of course, ceasing to be "in love" need not mean ceasing to love...love is distinct from being "in love"-it's not merely a feeling...it is having this love for eachother even at those moments when they do not like eachother. This queiter love enables them to keep the promises they made. Make quite sure you are judging by what you really know from your own experiences and from watching the lives of your friends, and not by ideas you have derived from novels or films"~C.S. Lewis~
