Amazing...................


From time to time I have trouble reminding myself of why I choose to support teams from the one and only Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have lived in California for almost 20 years and I continually have given my support to my Phillies, Flyers, Sixers and Eagles, amid speculation from my friends that I am insane. However, my thoughts are if you enjoy something that you like in your life that is always there for the better or worse, you should stick by it until it becomes unbearable. And even after that continue to focus on a cure and eventually it will turn around. Few things do not work out :(........... but if they do rebound and turn around you should rejoice in the moment. The past few years have been difficult for a ton of people that I know, IE: friends, family, co-workers, etc... I can include myself in that large group and also add that my friends, family, and co workers have really helped me get through this tough span. However, I get a little extra motivation in my daily grind when my team is winning. My beloved Phillies have been in the World Series the past two years winning it once and have a chance to go back again this year. My Eagles have done pretty well for a while, not winning the big game, but they are always a presence. The 6'ers...... well let's skip them. The Flyers on the other hand have been doing very well this year. They have a new coach, a young team, and an amazing goaltender that just joined the 1st team 6 games ago. My team in ORANGE are two games away from returning to the Stanley Cup Final. The Phillies carried me through an indescribable year in 08 with an emotional victory and I'm hoping that the Flyers can also add to that in 2010. I know that it sounds selfish, and maybe even a little crazy that I'm hoping for this, but I think it will just add to my tumultuous roller coaster of a year.
