Cary and me, best friends since we were fifteen. Discovered weed and girls and drivin cars together. Always wondered what the future would bring, and we promised we’d always be brothers forever.

Just nine short days after finally putting an end to the Hawks’ history season-starting streak in emphatic fashion, the Hawks return to the scene of the crime in Denver tonight to take on a somehow worse-off Avalanche team that now finds itself in the Western Conference basement.
If you’ll allow me to sidetrack for a moment (if that can be used as a verb). With Opening Day two weeks away, today I’d like to announce a new venture I’m undertaking. It’s called “The Ivy Drip”, and it’s my new Cubs Digital Weekly.
I know you Sox fans out there, or you baseball agnostics, are rolling your eyes. That’s totally fair. I usually mourn my Cubs fandom as much as a cherish it. I’m told that’s what it’s like to be Catholic. But anyway, for those that are still reading, let me go on.

Some were dying, some were weeping,
Some were studying, some were sleeping,
Some were shouting “Texas # 1!”
There was a rumor about a tumor
Nestled at the base of his brain.
He was sitting up there with his .36 Magnum
Laughing wildly as he bagged ’em.
Who are we to say the boy’s insane ?
He was sitting up there for more than an hour,
Way up there on the Texas Tower
Shooting from the twenty-seventh floor. Yahoo!
He didn’t choke or slash or slit them,
Not our Charles Joseph Whitman,
He won’t be an architect no more.

BALLAD OF CHARLES WHITMAN: Defending Big D
I didn’t realize that the Hawks had only won two games in regulation in the past three weeks. That needs changing. Isn’t it a wonderful world when you can actually ask for a change in how you win?
I’ve never made any secret of the fact that I loathe St. Patrick’s Day. There isn’t one aspect of it that I like. Yeah I know, I’m not Irish. But guess what? Unless you’re Mighty Mike D, then neither are you. I don’t give a flying fornication that your last name might be O’Ryan or Gallagher or McDuffy (or McClure I suppose, but he doesn’t claim to be Irish all that much). Unless your parents are off the boat, or maybe your grandparents, you’re fucking American. And there’s nothing wrong with being American (at least some parts of it).
You know what you get when a group of people insist on clinging to their vision of Irish heritage? You get a stinking hellhole like Boston. And the only thing they know of being Irish is wearing green, being fucking racist, and listening to The Dropkick Murphys. You want any part of that? They certainly couldn’t point out Cork on a map.
