I’m not exactly sure how it started… but I remember as a kid that just about holiday or birthday when I’d go to my grandparents house there would always be a brand new tape for me to listen to. It became such a common thing that sometimes there’d be something new for me to listen to even if we just went over for dinner. About 95% of the time, those tapes were Beach Boys tapes. Even the 5% that weren’t Beach Boys were probably just Jan & Dean and I was too young to know the difference. So it’s fair to say The Beach Boys have been one of my favorite bands since I was around 6 years old.

So I guess we missed a “supermoon” last night. Or at least I did. Maybe you were lucky enough to catch it. If there’s someone who probably would have been able to catch it perfectly though, it would be Ansel Adams.
One of the greatest landscape photographers of all time, Adams was known for pioneering the Zone System along with collegeue Fred Archer. That, along with Ansel’s incredible eye, allowed him to capture some of the more stunning images of the American west, particularly in his favorite area – Yosemite National Park.
Adams was known for using larger format cameras to capture the resolution he wanted in his images. Adams was also famous for finding a spot and patiently sitting there waiting for light to become just the way he wanted. He’s said to have waiting for hours for the moon to get to just the right spot before snapping his famous Moon Over Half Dome. Game 6 is tomorrow and we know the Bruins are going to come out like junkyard dogs going after a squirrel. The Hawks are going to have to be just as patient as Adams and not get caught up in their games, stick to their game plan and focus on what has brought them so close once again.
I remember this from three years ago.
I remember when they flash that “1” all around the U.C. I remember the chills you get when you see it. Because though we spend most of our days dreaming about the Hawks winning The Chalice, and though that thought infuriates our bosses or significant others or whoever else because you are pretty much useless in any other way when thinking about it, when you see that “1”, it becomes all too real. It’s right there. You feel like you can touch it. It’s not just theory any more. It’s like when you first step into that girl’s/guy’s apartment that you’ve been chasing for so long. It’s not just a dream or a wish. There’s so little to execute now to have what you dared not speak of before. IT COULD REALLY HAPPEN AND OH MY GOD JUST BREATHE AND ALL I HAVE TO DO IS NOT CRIMINALLY FUCK UP AND….
And yet…there’s still so far to go.
Sail up into the night sky until our worlds collide. Tonight we feel alive. Stand up where I can see you, no reason left to hide. Tonight we feel alive.
Will your legs fail you, when you stand too straight and tall? ‘Cause in a world gone mad, the taller you are, the harder you fall.
The face of another day, searching of the voice of a better way. They say that it’s a bad time of year to be up in arms, so we’re pushing on ’cause we know in our hearts it’s the only way to stay afloat with the sharks at bay. Avoid being a casualty of the circumstances, and second chances are shredded day by day

For all of the mewling on both sides about the various issues surrounding both the Bruins and Blackhawks, today the series finds itself pretty much exactly where everyone thought it would be. And with the series being tied 2-2 after the Hawks regained home-ice advantage on Wednesday, tonight’s game 5 is critical in taking a grip on the series.
None of us are going to need any help getting jacked for tonight’s game. The mixture of nerves, excitement, queasiness and pure adrenaline is what chewing on an adrenal gland is like (…I imagine). So if we were musicians here on this site, and we’re not, there would only be one way to play the guitar. And that would be the full on windmill style popularized by one of the greatest talents in Rock & Roll, Pete Townshend.
I’m not going to waste your time getting into why Townshend is great. If you’re already not a huge fan of The Who than you’re either beyond our hope or you’re probably around 12 years old and haven’t started listening to real music yet. And if you are 12, you probably shouldn’t be reading this site without your parents permission. Go watch some cartoons kid. Actually, Fels is probably watching cartoons right now anyway, so I guess those aren’t just for kids.
The Hawks lit up Rask and made Chara look like a chump in the last game. We’re going to hope that’s the case from here on out… So Boston, can you see the real me?
On the first day of summer, especially with it coming on a Friday, it only seems appropriate that our selection today be the current reigning king of the summer blockbuster, Robert Downey, Jr. And though his facial hair is as versatile as the actor himself, it is today that we recognize the efforts of RDJ and his beard.
