proprio scemi

Forza Azzurri? More like vaffaculo, Azzurri!

I am disgusted with the way that the Italian soccer team played this FIFA world cup. I understand that the defending champions have a very small chance of winning the cup two years in a row, but to be LAST in your group when the other teams stink? I'm sorry, Italy, there are no excuses. Retiring was a smart move for coach Marcello Lippi.

The team this year thought they could kick everyone's ass in their group. Now, I have no problem with that mindset as long as they actually do kick everyone's ass. Instead, they TIED Paraguay, TIED New Zealand, and LOST to Slovakia (a country SMALLER than Wisconsin!) We couldn't pass the ball more than twice without the other team getting it. Unacceptable, Italy.

The biggest problem with the team this year? Almost EVERYONE was old. Now, my mother got mad at me when i said this because 37 isn't old (age of Fabio Cannavaro, the captain, who might I add played the worst). Sorry to break it to you, mom, but for a soccer player, it is. Other teams had young players who were fast. SPEED is what the old guys lacked.

Now that my team is out I honestly don't know who to cheer for. I COULD jump on the Brazil bandwagon like everyone else, but I'm kind of digging Argentina. I always love me the underdog.

Another four years until I can proudly put the Italian flag on my car but until then, I walk with shame.

stay tuned

so i've been super busy since my last entry (really, who would have known) and tonight I am super tired to write the post i wanted to write. but for those of you who are reading, here are some things i will be writing about a.s.a.p:

1. hockey: why i love it, how i began to love it, my favourite teams, players, etc.

2. music: what i listen to, how it has become my life

3. soccer: i'm italian, so i have A LOT to say about the FIFA world cup games

4. glee!! and other t.v shows i watched/have started to watch

5. anything else that pops in my little head

so just be patient everyone! these entries will be written as soon as possible! on the plus side, i hope you all enjoy the new layout!!

bon nuit!

the first of many

let me introduce myself:

my name is Josie. i'm canadian, i love hockey and music, and i'm praying that at least one person will read this blog.

so why start a blog now?

a few months ago a good friend of mine posted on my facebook wall a url of a blog named "Hockey For the Ladies" because she was convinced that I wrote it. hell, even after reading it I was convinced that I wrote it.

***side note: for those of you who love hockey and men, get off this blog and go on HFTL immediately.***

i had a blog about six years ago, but that didn't work out too well. After exploring the HFTL blog, i was inspired me to make one of my own!

so this blog might suck

but everything written is MY opinion. i don't mind if you disagree, just don't bash me and my point of view. R-E-S-P-E-C-T .

for my first post, i thought i'd start out with something hockey related. for those of you that don't know, the chicago blackhawks (stanley cup champions) are one of the best teams (both looks and play) in the NHL. so here's a video showing their funny (yet weird) side.

this is the first of many weird hockey videos:

toews loses points for that ugly hat. kane gains them for being so darn cute in that headband.

enjoy, whoever reads this (and brace yourself for some crazy embarassing stuff i'll be posting)

i try to learn how to make my blog prettier AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. it's not like i have anything better to do this summer.
