I was brought up to think numbers.  Dad got US News and World Report and I couldn’t get enough of charts and graphs and later would go on to major in economics at a business school.  It hasn’t been til the later part in my life  that I have come to understand just how important Art and the process of creating is to one’s being.  Once you start to create, you have a hunger to continue to create and expand upon your medium.  It may be hard to explain correctly but once you get that feeling, that desire, it’s not hard at all to understand that hunger and how miserable you can feel if you don’t feed it.

Port O Pong

After Roller Derby Last Night it was off to catch up with the Mrs at the Sumner’s new digs.  Of course my wife’s friends being the raging alcoholics that they are needed to christen the Sumner’s house with a competitive beer pong tournament.

My beer pong partner Jen (I usually puke on the way home) Daniels was on fire but we couldn’t bring home a victory even after heading into overtime with momentum.

The Massacre Holds A Comfortable Lead Over The RMRG

Last night was DERBY NIGHT!!!!!  WOOT!  The Boston Massacre beat up on the visiting Rocky Mountain Roller Girls who proved to be no match for the Massacre.  The Massacre played with a lot of pent up aggression after suffering losses in their last couple bouts.  Plenty of pics and videos to come this week.

I can’t even begin to describe how fun these bouts are to watch.  There is an incredible amount of positive energy from the fans and competitors.  The music rocks, the action is fast and hard hitting.  You owe it to yourself to check out the next bout.
