17 of the fastest cars and.....

....Michael Waltrip qualified for the Nextel Allstar Challenge.... well they're going to probably while I'm finishing this.

I've seen more cars crash qualifying for the Nextel Open and the Craftsman Truck Race than I've ever seen crash Qualifying... I thought the new surface and the hard tires was gonna solve all the wrecks and issues we had with this surface last year?

I'm not sure whats better, watching a tire deflate after 30 laps of hard racing and causing a wreck, or a tire with so little grip that its like driving on ice.....

Oh and the lil opener thing, Michael Waltrip Fans, I love you.. well Amanda atleast, and I'm probably really in the doghouse now ;)

Bad Taste

Many people have already heard the story today of how fans of the San Jose Sharks Hockey team booed the Canadian national Anthem before Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals. I for one am all for pumping up your team, cheering as loudly as possible in support for your team, booing your opponent, but to boo a national anthem is just wrong in my book. For the Edmonton Oilers team, having players from the US from Canada and Europe, the Canadian national anthem is more of a place holder for where the team hails from, not the makeup of where its players hometowns lie. I find it amazing that in todays day and time that the lack of respect is displayed like that, and an utter lack of respect for the anthem of our neighbors to the north.

Maybe this sets me off a lil because of my newfound affection for Canada and what it has given me, not only the girl I love, but the "American" car I own was assembled and then shipped to the states through Canada.

In today's age of national tension over immigration, I would think that Americans could still have the respect for the anthems of other countries when playing in the US. It doesn't matter if the team is Canadian, Mexican, Japanese, Albanian or Iranian, if they are playing a game here in the states, they have every right to hear their anthem and for the fans attending to have the respect for the players and teams from that country.

He's Lazy

So being a member of the superior gender, i shall do what all good women do for their men... update their blog.

Hummm so whats our friend Bill been up to lately? Well he's still looking for a job, and is being patiently optimistic. He'll get one soon, i have faith. He still loves me and arguably spends to much time talking to me, but no complaints here. Oh and his apartment is really messy, but he won't clean it up! How clothes have made there way from the bedroom to his living room floor is beyond me... That and a couch is not suposed to be used for storing mail! lol, i think im in trouble now, as if hacking into his blogger account wasn't enough to put me in the doghouse for a while.

What else? Wow Bill you have one boring life, i can't even think of juicy things to tell cyber world about. He got his hair cut a few weeks ago! Theres something, although its pretty much grown back now... Did i mention he loves me? Thats right, he thinks im the most special girl in the entire universe, and that im more beautiful than Jessica Alba and all the Hooters girls combined. Of course i didn't make that up...

Ok, im done, Bill don't hurt me... i love you...

Amanda :)
