Sid...not so hot



















Coming from a family where hockey is a way of life, naturally I follow it. And of coarse the best part about the winter Olympics is USA Hockey, to me at least. The US men's team had nothing but a perfect run throughout the tournament, winning five games straight. Goalie Ryan Miller has gained a respect from sport fans that lack knowledge in hockey. According to paper, the US should have won, making their perfect record even more perfect. But a second American miracle was denied, bringing me to my other point.




Sidney Crosby. Sid the Kid. Poster boy of Canada. The Next Great One to everyone else.




But to me Sidney is a 22 year-old hottie with a body. Member of the Pittsburgh Penguins, he is not only an amazing hockey play, he is amazingly good-looking. Hands down the best looking player in the NHL. I am a born and raised blue shirt fan, but I sleep with a Sidney Crosby poster in my room. Sid the kid is hot...or was.



The goal heard around the world. Of coarse it had to be Sid. Who would've thought we would beat Canada at their own game twice. To me it's bad enough that we lost...but even worse that Sid scored the goal. Unbelievable. His face didn't look so hot when he was skating his cocky victory lap. As an American hockey fan, I feel obligated to take down my poster. I realized that a kid with a maple leaf on his shirt doesn't look so cute after all.

Not All Girls From Poughkeepsie are like Snookie

Everybody knows about MTV's hit reality t.v. show Jersey Shore. And if you know about that show then you obviously know who Snookie is. Well, I'm from the same area as Snookie. She went to a high school 2 towns over. And let me tell you, she really is one of a kind. Her claims to be a female Guido, or "guidette" are very small to come by in upstate New York. You'll hardly ever find a girl that acts like this-. She claimed more than several times to be the "princess of Poughkeepsie". She's giving all these bad names to the real girls of Poughkeepsie. Fact of the matter is, none of us where the hair poof. I don't know where Snooki got it from, but she certainly didn't get it from the streets of Poughkeepsie, New York. And unless she hangs out down south in Newburgh (a ghetto city 45 minutes downstate), you'll never find a girl dancing like this at a bar. We like to look classy and act classy, not sloppy and slutty.

So, in regards to all the people who think Poughkeepsie, New York is full of Guido's and guidettes, you better think twice. Because in reality we are all Irish Catholics who travel in pacts to see jam bands at local venues. Snooki's are rare. And in fact they are hated. Guido's and guidettes is pretty much an insult. Unless your nickname is Snooki of coarse.

By the way, if you ask anybody from the area code of 845 in upstate New York about this, they love it.
