Well I figured I would try something a bit new. I've never done a blog before but I thought it might be kinda neat to do a number of things with it, so we'll see how it goes.

As for the title, A Drive To The Unknown, I chose the title because whether it is myself or anyone else we don't know what is going to happen in life short term or long term, but we are in a way driving to certain things, whatever they may be, so since I intend for this blog to contain some of the things in my life, I figured it was a suitable title....that and I was tired of pondering a title after about 30 minutes or so. I also intend to include various things to ponder, questions I may be pondering and maybe a sarcastic comment or joke, we'll see.

Today was an alright day. I didn't get myself to bed until 5am previously so I slept in until around noon before I decided to get my butt going. Had myself an awesome lunch at the Bees with a tuscan dip, steak and fries split with Katie. I was thinking as I was there, talking with Katie, Stevo and Bill how much I'm going to miss them, and others like them if my application for RRC doesn't pan out. Sure I'll be back from time to time, but lets be honest, how many relationships, and I don't mean girlfriend/boyfriend, but that certainly is not excluded stay the same when you are only back a couple of times a month, if that. I guess this is where you find out who are really your friends and who were acquaintances along the way.

(Pause. Watching the Czech Republic, Slovakia hockey game. It's good to see Slovakia hanging with them. Slovakia has always been like the little brother you school whenever you compete in something, so good for them for hanging in there. Also cool to see players like Jaromir Jagr and Zigmund Pallfy again. Funny how they are perceived as soft in the NHL, but in international play, they go all out. I suppose it's true that to Europeans, a medal for your country is more important to the Stanley Cup. To each their own I guess - LOL @ fan with a gigantic flag with a foaming beer mug. Classic.)

Before I wrap this up for the day, I want to say first that I hope everyone had themselves a good valentines day. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea for various reasons, myself as well. Anyways for those that did things for their significant other, hopefully the other 364 days are like valentines day as well. My main issue with it is we do, or plan all these special things because the calendar tells us to. To me, February 14 should be no different than June 17, August 22 or November 4. If it is no different, big kudos to you.

Lastly I want to say thanks for reading, I hope you liked what I had to say and hopefully you check back periodically in your Drive;)
