Well, game 3 was anything but stellar from the black-n-gold. Visiting the city of sibling rivalry (commonly referred to as brotherly love) has put a damper on the Pens’ thoughts of finishing this series early. Game 4 will really tell the tale of how much the loss has damaged the frosty exteriors of Crosby, Malkin and the boys.

During game 2 in the Igloo, I heard something over the loudspeaker that rekindled a fire in me. I have always loved music and my favorite genre is hairbands of the 80′s and 90′s. One of my favorite movies about the period was made by period aficionado George Clooney. I am talking of course about Rock Star! This movie gives an intimate look into the ups and downs, and ins and outs of “living like a rock star”.

I love the song, but the visuals are even better….

Stand Up

Beware, this is not a movie for kids! This movie sends a clarion call to anyone thinking of getting into the business. Be prepared to fight the temptations or possibly lose your soul in the process. What really gets to me, is to see the lead singer “Izzy”, played by Mark Wahlberg, go through these challenges. He pushes away everything familiar, including his long-time girlfriend (played by Jennifer Anniston), just to be the man everyone wants to be. But he eventually learns his error and decides to leave the band. This choice brings healing to his mental state and brings his girlfriend back into his life.

The point is, make choices but be prepared to suffer the consequences. Make good choices and you will save yourself a lot of grief. Now getting back to hockey, lets hope we see better gameplay and better choices by coach Bylsma in Game 4.

God bless her. This woman has been gifted with a talent few have. Her talent has been easily overlooked for 30+ years, probably based primarily on her looks. One might consider this book’s cover to be plain and less than a beauty queen. I say she looks like the aunt-next-door! But everyone should know, never judge a book by the cover, or even the summary writing on the inside covers. The same is true here.

Get ready folks, if you liked the Cactus Cuties, get out your tissues…..I needed them and I don’t consider myself very emotional.

Susan Boyle’s “Dream”

I love this song and Susan has done the world a tremendous injustice for not singing it for us sooner! Move over Celine Deon (or even Elaine Paige!), there’s a new girl in town and Simon has already begun the workings of a recording contract for this 47 year old from Blackburn, Scotland. It appears Susan’s charity working days may be over, once the recording studio gets hold of her.

Imagine how beautiful the duets would be if Susan Boyle got together with Josh Groban!

Well, as if I don’t have enough problems in my life. I hate the dreaded upgrade of a Windows operating system. I have learned my lesson when it comes to Microsuck. Albeit, the lessons were hard-learned and tore apart many a night and weekend.

I have also had my share of Linux operating system upgrades. I have primarily dealt with Mandrake/Mandriva software. I have had a few bumps with that, but primarily due to the intricacies of server settings and optional modules, etc.

Last night and today have been my first experience with a Mac system. Finding good info online (for free) can be a little more difficult than it once was, let me tell you. But when it comes to Mac stuff, the info is much less available and even scarier to note when you’ve nearly reached the end of all searches with little to nothing to find regarding your problem. Well luckily, I found some good info and thought of sharing that here. Adding another link to the search engine pools of wisdom will only help the next poor soul that’s at the end of sanity!
