While this is a personal account of the life and times of myself, I have decided to write about the weather. Well, its summer in England and as every year around this time, everyone is complaining yet again at the lack of summer weather. Why is this? Well, our island is a magnet for rain clouds all year round, but it seems part

I live in the Midwest and this is the time of year when some people start getting depressed. This happens when the days grow short and bouts of sunshine become farther apart. This is a condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, or S.A.D. for short.

Is it every day you can say you were hit in the head by a Calgary Flames player? The answer is no! However, I can totally say that. Cory Sarich hit me in the head (ah for non Flames fans, that is a photo of Iginla, because he’s hot my favourite). As for me being hit in the head by Sarich, read on:
