Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

A day late but... Happy 11-11-11 everyone!!

Which for some people was "UBER WISH DAY" which I missed making my "wishes" @11:11AM & PM yesterday :-/ I'll make them come true anyway :)

...for others (including me) it was "METAL DAY". So I hope all you metal heads "put your horns up" and celebrated in some way. MY Metal Day celebration was playing 2 hours of Metallica, Ozzy, & Megadeth on guitar. \m/ *_* \m/ !!!

...and of course it was Veteran's Day. A special thank you to all of those who do/did service time in our military & sacrifice EVERYTHING. I personally called an uncle and said "Hi, I'm calling to say Happy Veteran's Day. Thanks for helping us kick ass in World War II". All of the brave men & women who serve or have served in our nation's military take the ultimate risk & deserve every credit they get.

The Big 4 tonight at Yankee Stadium!!!! Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, & Metallica... It's metal music history!!

Well it's about time! New York's state Senate finally passed the bill on a 33-29 vote to legalize same sex marriage rights. I guess fourth time's a charm huh? Congratulations to all the gays and lesbians in NY who have been waiting for this...

OK, I feel there's somebody new... And between this morning.... last night... yesterday morning... or Wednesday night. Something happened... and it was a first. Sex, unprotected sex, sleeping together, sleeping over at the other's place, making love, feeling you love each other, or you love them, or saying I love you. SOMETHING to that effect.

Just a feeling... but I'm sure I'm close. :)

An enforcer on the ice & humanitarian off it. I was looking forward to this season, hoping he'd be back at full strength and protecting the team. R.I.P. Derek....
