Welcome to my world!<br />
I am warning you things get crazy here. In my<br />
world when someone says it’s impossible, it<br />
doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to do it. It means we<br />
should try harder. In my world, there aren’t any limits.<br />
Dream, dream big, then dream bigger and do.<br />
The only prerequisite for admittance here is to love and<br />
respect each other…. You know… the whole don’t be a dick<br />
thing. So welcome…unless you’re a dick. <br />
So what’s this about? Sports. Life. Love. Happiness.<br />
What isn’t it about? Sports have always been my life. Most recently<br />
it’s been mainly hockey, but I’ve probably tried playing almost every<br />
sport out there at some point (spectacularly unsuccessful).<br />
My passion has always been to try to find a way to connect the<br />
world with sport. Sports are a common language. In sport, we can<br />
forget<br />
about all the bullshit happening in the world and just be adult<br />
“athletes” together for a short time. A short time where we are all<br />
together for<br />
the sole purpose of enjoying each other’s company regardless of<br />
sex, race, religion, politics, etc. That’s what this is all about.<br />
A way to bring the crazy world inside my head to you and for you to<br />
share your craziness with everyone else.<br />
Are ya ready? Buckle up and let’s get it!<br />
