MALKINMANIA

So my best friend invited me to a Pittsburgh Penguins tonight, and, being a lover of all things 'burgh, I agreed to go. BEST DECISION of my life! We had dinner at Tailgaters, and I saw an old friend - always cheers me up when I am somewhere unfamiliar to me. We waited for our nachos for so long that we our server gave us three beers for free! Signs of an epic night.

The entire two week span of us having tickets, my friend kept saying "we have to meet Evgeni Malkin's parents." for those of you who don't know, Malkin is the sexiest hockey player alive from Russia. During the game, they flash a live shot of Malkin's parents on the Jumbo tron and obnoxious fans, like us, set off to find them during halftime.





We had almost given up hope on finding them when we spotted cameras and a crowd surrounding an older man. Praise Jesus, it was Malkin's dad! We immediately ran up to him to hopefully get a photo opp. I handed my phone to a random camera man and asked if he could please take some photos. Little did I know he was recording on his own camera.



When we got back to our seats, our phones were blowing up with texts and tweets from our friends saying they saw us on TV with Malkin's dad. Yeah, we were on live national television chilling with Vladimir Malkin.

The game was even better because the boys won! It was a great experience. I am officially a Penguins lover!

John Wall, Sixburgh, and other things..


I want to be free. I want to throw my hands in the air, screaming in the back seat of a convertible with my favorite songs on blast. No cares in the world. To live in my fantasies instead of realities. I want to be free.

Anyway, in music terms this week Lil Wayne came out with a 'Pittsburgh Steeler diss' called "Green & Yellow". Well it's no wonder Lil Wayne couldn't come up with his own beat. Anyway, the dudes from New Orleans - what the hell does he need to be rooting for the Packers for?



Next, in terms of YouTube videos, I have been intrigued by the "Do the John Wall" dance. It's not complicated, but you can't John when you're supposed to Wall (guess you'd have to watch to understand).



I've also been playing "Did It On 'Em" - Nicki Minaj on repeat. I have no relation to this song whatsoever, it's just something to dance to. I honestly have a hate/love relationship with Nicki Minaj's music. She's either a complete idiot or she's got some sick flows. It's a win/lose situation. Sorry Nicki lovers.



As for the rest of my life, I just watched the Pittsburgh Steelers crumble in the hands of the Green Bay Packers! Worst sight ever! Oh well, we played a truly a
mazing season and I could not ask to be a fan of a better team!



Let me leave you with a quote to start and/or finish your day. It's a quote to be carefully considered. How would you want to and how would you lead your life?

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. – Edith Wharton
