I'm sick
It’s not just a cold anymore. It’s for real. Achy, groggy, lethargic, sinus pressure… all of it. But you’re fucked if you think I’m not playing hockey tonight.
Who wants to nurse me back to health after the game?
No one?
Didn’t think so…

All I wanna do is hit the rink
But I’ve got a nasty, lingering cold.
Twelve-year-old me would be on the rink despite that. 27-year-old me usually would, too, except I have a game tomorrow and I like to pretend beer-league hockey is important.

I have never owned a new pair of skates
That is my darkest hockey secret.
When I was younger, I used to think it was because I (and my family) was cheap. I realize now it’s because comfort is what I’m looking for. Do you have any idea how hard it is to break-in new skates? I got a glimpse of it after Saturday.
Those EQ5’s I purchased hurt my feet like hell. While I was skating I didn’t notice it much, but the...

Ever listen to a song on repeat for 10 hours?
