Things Will Pay off if We are Patient

 I'm by no means stating that the Vancouver Canucks first five games have been a success. I think that there is plenty of places where we can pick apart the Canucks mistakes. However, I just want to say that it feels so therapeutic to have a normal 82 game season with a sell out crowd that I'll be in attendance for. 

My whole life I wanted to be the beat writer for the Vancouver Canucks. I don't think I ever will but this blog gives me the amazing feeling like I am. 

I will whole heartily admit that not overacting to a early season win in October is almost impossible. This is the 19th year that I can say that I remember. In those 19 years we have made the playoffs 10 times. Missed them eight times and one year was outright canceled. Therefore, we have still made the playoffs more times than not since October 2002. I believe we are the most consistent Canadian team since 1990. 

Yet, as Canucks fans, we seem to want to blame ownership and management consistently for our downfalls! Enough is enough. We need to let the chips fall where they may and enjoy the roller coaster of emotions. It won't always be enjoyable but it will be way more rewarding when we win. 

I was at the pub last night and had my eye on the NFL and NLCS at the same time as the hockey game. From what I saw, we played well and it is still fun to beat Chicago. All four of our goals had two assists and we showed some backbone when Chicago tied the game up at one. 

Last game of the road tip tomorrow and we play the new team. I will say that I'm not a fan of Seattle getting a team before Quebec City but it will be worth it if they never make the playoffs. 

This year is crucial given the weak division 4-8. Need to capitalize and ignite this fan-base again. When we are a good team, Vancouver has a buzz that is indescribable and I get so many butterflies in my stomach that come with it. 

Turning Interests into Income

 When I look at my life, I kinda think it is pretty awesome! I'm striving to be a better person everyday. I have goals and plans set aside and will execute them when I have the opportunity. 

I have what is called a a strategy of life to make my life easier. Principles to live on are really what they are. 

 So here is my life strategy: 

Step 1 - Put half of your surplus after every month into a separate savings account. 

Step 2 - Turn passion into a way of making money. 

Step 3 - If your not making ends meet find a city with a cheaper cost of living. 

Step 4 - Avoid getting brainwashed. Bitcoin, sports betting and penny stocks are all profitable with right strategy and if you follow step 1 are done without money you will depend on. 

Step 5 - Don't get a car . They depreciate fast. 

Step 6 - Get into the housing market as soon as you can. Even if it's not a desirable city. It's better than paying rent. 

Step 7 - Don't go to University unless you can afford it without going into debt

 

 

Following these steps has helped me with self esteem and meaning of life. I have followed these steps the last four years and I have seen the results. 

 

My sports bet of the day is the Toronto Raptors -140 to win over the Washington Wizards. 

 

I am 13-8 on my bet of the day since May and I am confident that this pick will be a winner. 

 

In the future, I will be writing about more self growth on here than sports as I believe self growth and doing things that make you happy. 

 

I am having a very good day and feel blessed to get around to my blog. 

 

Seattle Mariners Fans haven't had a Weekend Like This since 2000

I say 2000 because 2014 seemed like a long shot. They had to win on the Saturday to make the Sunday relevant and then they were eliminated in the middle of the game. 

2000 saw close divisional races in the Wildcard and Division. The bittersweet part about this weekend is things could go well and the season could still be over early next week. 

This time around feels different. They control their own destiny and Boston is on the road. It will be a nail-biting three days and hopefully we see better crowds as the crowds have been pathetic for a playoff race.  

The Mariners are tied for the last wildcard spot with three games to go. In these cases I've always thought it was the benefit of the team that played first in the playoff race. That is Boston for tonight and tomorrow but all games start at 3pm ET 12 PT on Sunday. 

It should be a interesting finish to the season and I really hope it comes down to Sunday. That baseball is so intense. 

I think both teams win tonight which would set up Sunday being important no matter what. 

Hoping to write tomorrow and will talk about what went down.
