So I woke up this morning singing the song “Stand up” by Bran Van 3000. It’s a super positive song with a chorus that goes something like this:
“If your slipping through the cracks,
Or you’re still trying to crack the code,
We are reaching for the prize,
And there is one thing I know,
Stand up.
I will stand up
Even when I get down.”
So appropriate for my Wings! I can’t get it out of my head and for once I don’t mind it-
Truthfully, I caught part of 40 year old Virgin last Saturday and that damn Asia song has been running through my head ever since. AAAARRRGHHH- Barry –frickin- Manilow would have been a welcome change, but BV3 is infinitely better, and I didn’t even hear the BV3 song first, it just popped up.
I think it’s a good omen- I mean if I can get over my funk, the Wings surely have.
“We are reaching for the prize and there’s one thing I know,
Stand up.
I will stand up
Even when I get down.”
GAME ON!
Was struggling to get over the disappointment of Monday’s game- wondering how in the hell the players do it. But when I “woke up this morning with the urgency of “Red”” (its another paraphrased line from “Stand UP”) I knew it would be ok.
I know the Wings can win tonight. Personally, I think there are several keys to the win: Better play in the first period, Dats needs to score, Zetts needs to keep doing what he is doing, Ozzie needs to be perfect, and they can’t let the cup get into their head in the last minute of play. In other words play their own game- but at an even higher level of intensity than they knew they could.
The nervousness of waiting a whole day is going to take its toll, and I am not that busy at work this week (my boss is ultra cool, about me and my obsession with the Wings), so I have no real distraction.
Anyone else feeling this nervous buzz, sort of an underlying hum? I feel as if I have drank a Starbucks venti red eye, and a 5 hour Energy Drink all after eating a bag of cotton candy.
Oh- here’s a funny story. I have a very well connected friend who, due to the nature of her job received an email from the Director of Entertainment Publicity at the NHL offering game 6 tix to interested celebrities. Turns out, having your NHLConnect Blog appear on Page 1 does not qualify you as a celebrity. Who knew?
Sigh. Gotta be someway to get famous in the next 2-3 hours….
Was driving my brother to LAX so he could get home to the D for the game, when I just got totally pizzed at the traffic- And let me tell you there is nothing you can do about LA freeway traffic, so getting pizzed is just screwing with your own health. Then I realized I was super antsy, just want to get this game started. 11 hours is a long time.
Alright all, time to do some work, find a distraction, then maybe spend some time thinking about what could happen tonight. If you don’t hear from me again today- GO WINGS!!!!
