Well, I went to NYC this past weekend for their Tartan Day parade (Scots wha' hae!!!) and I actually had a good time. I really dislike NYC, but this was a good day. After the parade, I hung out at the St.Andrew's Pub w/a group of Scots over for holiday. We shot the shit for three hours, it was great. Then I saw a friend ex-girlfriend who I haven't seen in 11 years; she was up from FL. We talk on the phone quite a bit but that's not the same. Then I went to this place called the Blue Fin. Very nice place, but man did I feel out of place. This, and the bar upstairs, W, were way out of my league. Not financially, just, well, I'm not one of the beautiful people. I think wearing a kilt and my leather jacket with all my punk rock stuff painted on it was a tip-off. But the people there were actually very pleasant and most accomodating. I was bloody shocked! One of the hostesses was hitting on me. Well, I think she was. This isn't Hooters were the girls have that stuff down to a science. Anyhow, after dinner, I went up to the bar and spent 2 hours hanging out with 2 tipsy Irish girls. They were sweet. Then I drove home. Wouldn't have been so bad, but daylight savings time started to catch up with me about 20 miles from home. It was actually a good time, wow. What a start to spring break. Well, fun's over, got lots of required reading to do. Stay tuned for part II of my thesis on celebrity.

Hate ESPN too. Feel free to vent as much as you like. Did they take NHL 2Night off the air? Haven't seen it in months. Not sure if it's my hatred of ESPN or just the scant attention that hockey receives from any sports network. I already feel like where in the middle of basball season with the amount of coverage it gets. Don't know how you feel, but I'm a one sport guy. Hockey and nothing else. Anyway, here are the matchups in the East: Isles/Lightning, Devils/Flyers, Bruins/Canadiens, Leafs/Senators.

I agree about not caring about the Western conference. Seems as though(at least in this part of the country) ESPN only shows Western conference games. Could do without seeing another Avalanche/Detroit game. When the Isles get to the Finals I'll care about the West. Since we are talking about it however, I'm picking the Wings over the Predators in 4. The Avalanche over the Stars in 5. Calgary over Vancouver in 7. Blues over the Sharks in 6.
