Thousand Mile Wish

on the eve of my one-year blogaversary, the sharks were eliminated from the stanley cup finals. while the team exceeded all expectations for this season, it was a heart-breaking way to end the season and i'm left feeling like i could have done something to have changed the outcome. i know that is a silly notion, but i always seem to feel that way at such times.

i know i'll climb into bed tonight wondering what else i could have done, but regardless of the 20 things i come up, none of which would likely have made a difference, i'll still be left with the disappointment. i will still have this feeling that i didn't give my all. but one thing is for sure... i gave my heart, and i guess that's why it feels so sad.

I'm sorry about the outcome. It's easy for others to say "Oh, maybe next year" when they don't feel what you feel.

On January 5, 2003, the NY Giants played the 49ers. Giants had that game in the palm of their hand...were killing the Niners for three quarters...and then disaster struck. The Giants D fell apart, allowed 4 touchdowns in short order. They had a chance at the last second, but got screwed by the officials not knowing the rules. I got real mad, threw the remote and jumped up and down...things I really never do while watching a game. I was heartbroken.

I don't know if that helps, but there it is.
