The Internet: Its Serious Business!


Ok, so I realized today that I seem to have more Capitals fans readers than Penguins fans readers.

Which is fine. I think it just proves that people in Pittsburgh actually know way more about hockey than in Washington because people in Pittsburgh know better than to read and comment on my blog.

:)

Work was pretty quiet today. We had two big groups arriving and two weddings checking out so that kept me pretty busy for most of the afternoon. Work's pretty boring.

One of the food and beverage managers asked me today if I was interested in moving up and becoming a supervisor or a manager. It felt like a loaded question so I wasn't sure how to respond and just made gurgling noises until she finally put me out of my misery by telling me that her friend at one of the Shadyside hotels is looking for a Front Desk Manager and I was the first person she thought of. No previous management experience required, just hotel/front desk knowledge preferred.

What? This job opportunity almost sounds way too good to be true.

And besides: really? Me? I'm an agent but I guess I have my shit together after all?

I checked in a sports writer today whom I'd totally heard and really respect but didn't put his name with his face with his work until after I got home to sit down and read a couple of his articles online. What kills me is that his name and face rang a bell so I totally gave him the Max Talbot Superstar Treatment but I was totally clueless to his true identity. When I finally put two and two together, I felt how Lois Lane must have felt when she finally put two and two together with Clark Kent. "Oh God, duh! The answer was in front of me the whole time!"

I caught a great tweet earlier from a fellow Penguins fan:

@rlenzi: "Just, with everything we've gone through, this is who we are." - Sidney Crosby #penguins
Its a great philosophy, imo! Simple-sounding but really profound at the same time. I don't know why this kid has to be the serious one. He's only 21, you'd think that the older guys like Max Talbot (weighing in at an ancient 25) would be way more pokerfaced... yeah ok!

This guy's my hero (even in front of smokin-hot Marc-Andre Fleury). He gets into a fight in the middle of a play off game with the Flyers, beats Dan Carcillo's ass and then gives the fans and media this amazing photo op: "hey Orange Crush, stfu cuz we're gonna bring it now"






Totally serious!



^ Supah-stah treatment again!

Anyway, right now I'm watching Boston dig a hole and bury Cam Ward. So fucking much for Carolina winning in 5 games. Fuckers! I'm still calling them to win the series. Boston was due a bounce-back since they're playing at home but Carolina's gonna bring it.

I can't believe the Red Wings won. What another group of fuckers.

Also, I'm pretty impressed with how easy it is to get some Capitals fans pissed off. I made a single comment on Twitter earlier regarding someone comparing Game 6 to Pearl Harbor and cheering their team on to victory to the tune of "Never give up!" And I'm like really?

Next thing I know, I'm called an idiot, moron and twat by 4 different people all of whom appeared to be eHighFiving each other via Twitter and told that it was OBVIOUSLY a quote from Animal House and how could I be so fucking stupid to not recognize it. GOD! Quoting movies is cool but quoting movies from 1978 is really cool! Especially when you're quoting it to a potential audience who is under the age of 30.

Whats even better is that the first clown I was mouthing off to called in eReinforcements but was showing off for his Internet Ladies so when they told him to simmer down, he did and everyone dispersed.

???

Pussy whipped is bad enough but internet pussy whipped... really dude? Where's your balls? I got to be condescending and an asshole but he backed down because his precious Lady-Caps-Fan didn't want to see him be mean to a girl on the internet.

Once again proving: The internet is SERIOUS business, man.


Especially when you're a Capitals Fan!

Anyway, as serious as this blog is, I'm going to have to take a break. I'm going on 2hrs of sleep. I don't know how I'm still awake. My hot-as-balls boyfriend is coming to pick me up in like 20 minutes. I must be insane. I'm also sure I look like hell. Oh actually, I have proof:

unleashthefury@poeticpisces Your face makes me want to vomit.
This guy is currently killing elementals with his level 78 Warrior in World of Warcraft. Find him on Frostmourne realm under the name Unleashedfury.

Zzz...

  1. Hey, Unleashthefury here,
    I'm a girl and have never played World of Warcraft.

    If you decide to troll a caps twitter feed your going to get some negative reactions. You were clearly trolling, so don't whine about it when people react badly and make fun of you. In this entry you don't even mention that you started this shit with your post on @capsfans.

    I'm 18 and have the sense to know trolling another fan base is fucking lame, it's sad that someone almost 10 years older doesn't.

    And seriously who hasn't seen Animal House? I really recommend you see it.

  2. I'm so glad that the record is set on your gender. If trolling another fan base is lame, what do you call concerning yourself with clarifying that you're a chick on some nobody's blog?

    Blah blah blah, I've heard I should see Animal House from a ton of people. Jump on more bandwagons please. First Animal House and then the Capitals.

    I'm surprised you'd even bother yourself with reading this. Obviously, I was correct with my opening remarks in this entry.

  3. Yes, I somehow jumped on the Caps bandwagon, when I've been a fan since before the lockout. And I really don't understand how Animal House could be a bandwagon.

    I'm going to guess 85% of your recent readers came here when you trolled, It's an excellent idea to generate traffic, but not good if you don't wanna be trolled right back. They didn't come here prior to your trolling, you cause yourself to get trolled.

    Clarifying that I'm a girl isn't lame or immature, it's statement of fact. And I didn't actually read your blog outside of the headline, your life isn't that interesting to me, sorry.
