Read This Twice

Words of advice :
Its a great thing to have a presentable front door, but if its not unlocked you can't let opportunity in .

I was on a skateboarding adventure with my good pal MGR and the advice he gave me was really great , his father told him this and I'm glad he could pass it to me.
"until you are 30, these years are diamonds, don't burn them" and its true, when you are in these years your life is literally shaped around everything you do and i think its amazing how "if you work for it you can have it" is a saying we all shrug off. when realistically i am fortunate enough to be living in a positive light of this. Great work , great friends, great family, everyday .

Beer is a lot like Hockey, when you are Young, your dad loves it and you don't understand why. But as i found myself driving my car down the street listening to am radio so i could catch the last period of the Montreal game, i realized you grow to love the taste, and you eventually find yourself in a play off rivalry that you cant get yourself out of. Also as im sure you notice with Beer and Hockey comes AM radio. we wont go there.

I decided to take a new way home from my friends house on thursday night. as i was listening to the game end on the radio, i decided to drive by the bell centre. not putting two and two together. (4 for those who are wondering ) It was a home game for the habs. so STUPID ME , i catch myself thinking "why are there 4 cops on every street intersection for blocks and blocks. " maybe because sometimes boston and montreal like to have riots ? or maybe because i was to into the game to realize that in about 2 minutes a tidal wave of people was about to come swarming down the street not caring about a single vehicle . RIDICULOUS.

And now that the weather is beautiful out (when its not snowing -ahem- )
At work we decided to start eating lunch outside in the sun since we don't have a lot of windows its great to be able to get some sunlight into your day. So today (friday - aka the day after the boston / montreal game ) we are outside enjoying our lunch innocently, and a "gentlemen" comes up and asks us in broken french (even though he was clearly french ) "avez vous use dollaire ? " (do you have a dollar)
we asked "what is it for"
the wonderfully presented man says over his giant gut " its for beer "
we reply with "sorry sir , not going to happen"
again he says " its for food ? " -at this point he's not even sure how he's going to get the dollar , he's asking statements . making me try not to laugh
Tim says "here have this banana i already ate my lunch"
*man takes banana* *stands there awkwardly inhaling banana*
(now at this point you have to understand that the conversation didn't happen as fast as you just read it here, this took like 10 minutes, it was slow and nothing less than awkward. and he is smoking a gigantic cigar in our area where we are TRYING to enjoy our lunch and some fresh air )
This Beautifully sculpted man then pulls up his sweatshirt to reveal a boston bruins shirt , when i say "uh oh, might not want to take off that hoodie around here "
when he asks "why is there a problem,? "
…long story short, we had no way of putting this time back into our day, it was just lost time.
at which point it got awkward and he was just lingering so Marco asked him nicely with his aggressive german accent "excuse me sir, can you please get your cigar the F*&& out of my face, im eating my lunch …. "

I was so proud of marco.

what can we pull from this story. there ARE boston fans in montreal, but they don't have jobs . go habs go
