M is for Mac vs PC

It's been the World wide question: Man or PC?? No one knows which to pick. Mac and all of their awesome games that you can download and PC with all of their work stuff. It's true that mac can do work things and PCs can have games, but those aren't their strengths. PC took over the world years ago but Mac has countered strong with things like the Iphone and the new Ipad.

PC has dominated the computer world for years until mac came back recently. PC were the kings of the world they had everything. Mac was making very bad computers while PC was making great ones. this is what started the debate between mac and PC. thanks a whole big bunch macs for making bad computers back then.

The current debate is that do you want to choose a computer that is fun(Mac) or one that can help you do your work? Which one would you choose?

Life Lesson: Don't start out a computer company with really bad computers. It will only lead to life long madness

G is for Goalie

ice hockey is my absoloute favourite sport. I love it. I'm a goalie though so lots of people think that I'm insane for thinking that goalie is fun. The truth is that I would love to be a player, but I'm not a good enough skater for it. That and I'm a lot smaller compared to most of the other players, so it's hard to get the puck. Since I'm not a player I'll talk about me as goalie.



I played goalie for the first time when I was in grade three. I volunteered thinking "hey this won't be so bad." We ended up tieing that game because I played well in the last half of the game, but terribly in the first half. After that I could really relate to goalies everywhere because it was so hard to simply stand up in all that equipment. Looking back on it now it's good I continued to play goalie.

Now I have been playing goalie for multiple years. I currently have a 1.76 goals against average which is very good. I have 4 shutouts this seoson, but my goal from the beggining of the seoson was 5. I hope I can make select next year, but that is a long way away. Finally I love getting hit in the head with pucks.

Life Lesson: Even if you get hurt you can always come back to a sport or a position (in my case) and still reach your goals.

C is for Canada

I live in Canada and it is awesome. Aside from all of the cold weather Canada is really nice to live in. All of the seasons are a lot like what people describe them as. It's true that lots of people say "eh". (like "I know eh?") There are though lots of things that people say about Canadiens that aren't true, such as all canadiens love maple syrup. Not every single Canadien likes maple syrup.



Canada is hockey's home. (and I mean ice hockey) Most Canadiens at least enjoy hockey. Being a goalie I would obviously say that hockey is by far my favourite sport. Again another stereotype about Canadiens is that every Canadien likes hockey, again that is not true. In fact many people strongly dislike the sport of hockey.

There are many amazing places with great scenery in Canada as well. Such as Whistler in BC where the 2010 olympics are being held. Going down the mountins, even looking at them give you the shivers. Not many people realize how much their missing in life until they go to somewhere in Canada with amazing scenery like this. From the giant mountins to the huge fresh water lakes Canada is awesome!!


Life Lesson: You haven't seen anything in your country unless you've been outside your provencee

T is for Track

Aside from hockey, track and field is my favourite sport. My favourite events are the 400 meter, the 400 meter relay, and the 800 meter. I like these events because I can run them easily and quickly. I also enjoy running just as a way do avoid the rest of the world. If I really want to get away from some where I'll just go run and what ever I was avoiding will be fixed.


The 400 meter was not originally one of my favourite events, but I soon learned to enjoy it. I found it very easy to run because I have a long stride. I found that if I thought of the track as a short distance I could sprint it. I have never come first in the 400 meter, but last year was my first year of track so I think I will be able to as the year goes on.


Last year when I first joined track I hardly knew what any of the distances were going to be. At our first meet I heard that the coach was going to decide who the members of the relay team were based on the results of all the other races. I tried really hard to make the team. And luckily did. I ran second and we blew the competition away.


I ran the 800 meter for the first time last year. I could harly breathe by the end of it, but I came in fourth. I didn't actully really want to run it, but our coach suggested it and I just thought "why not?". I thought that eventully I could come in a higher place, so I did some training for it. I can now run it in 3:30 minutes. (sometimes four)



Life Lesson: To achive things you can't just do it well once and hope you have the same outcome again, you have to train.
