I feel like my lungs have failed me. After having a cough for a week I decided to forfeit my Redwings tickets to a friend on $1 hot dog in order to go home to see my doctor. AHH! I missed hot dogs and a May-day smack down. So I'm sitting in the room, my doctor walks in, he says "hi Brenton how are you doing?" "I'm sick," I reply. And then silence. Turns out I have a low grade form of bronchitis. "It's not contagious, don't worry about it," Dr. Bejarano said. "Ohh..Then how did I get it in the first place?" I said. And then silence.
Last night I had a show at Joey's Comedy Club in Livonia. It was a showcase for Live Nation by my agency. If they liked us, we'd obtain sponsorship for a 40 show/city college tour next year. It was nothing short of a miracle that I talked for 25 minutes without coughing once. Amazing. But would I have traded a great, cough-free set for $1 hot dogs?...no are you crazy?!! well, maybe.
Anyway none of that has anything to do with my blog on the Buffalo Sabres. I was unable to watch the Sabres game tonight because my parents do not have centerice. Probably a good thing, as they lost 6-2 to Florida. Guess they broke even, Buffalo beat the Panthers in Florida back on October 21 5-2.
Friday's game against the Flames was the most entertaining I've seen all year. Fast paced, few whistles, two fights, and it went to a shootout. Both goalies were amazing, you were almost upset that one had to lose. The good guys came out on top taking the shootout and the game 2-1.
Saturday's game was less thrilling but still great to see them take out the Fliers. I'm not s fan of Philly. Never have been. May have something to do with the '72 Stanley Cup finals.
I really don't have any specific thoughts this week. The Sabres are playing great, minus tonight, although looking at highlights they had their chances and couldn't finish. A post here and a sprawling defense man there, you put those in the back of the new the whole game changes.
My brother is watching TV next to me. The show is called Top Gear, a British television show all about cars. He just turned to me and said "if you're a car guy this is like porn."...and then silence. I look foward to coming home to Michigan tomorrow.
P.S. It's never too early for some Christmas music:

funny blog. it was entertaining, i liked it. but you hate the flyers cuz of the '72 cup finals? you weren't even born yet haha. and why '72? the finals were between the bruins and the rangers. bruins won. i don't think the sabres or flyers even made the playoffs that year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_Stanley_Cup_Finals
ReplyDeleteFunny story to lead off the blog.
ReplyDeleteI don't really follow the NHL...are the Sabres a playoff caliber team this year?
So how did your comedy night go? Along with cgsmith, I was wondering where your hate for the Flyers comes from and how it relates to the '72 finals. That would be a very interesting story.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're wrong, it is too early for Christmas music.
Good blog though.
Nice blog, it made me laugh. But you missed out on hockey and cheap hot dogs to go the doctors because of a cough... honestly that's kinda disappointing! Good job though on your blog.
