Favorite Memories of College....

                 Since it has been nearly 9 years since I left college now, I thought now would be the most appropriate time to step up and do this post about my favorite moments in College and to be honest, I do not think I did a post and I cannot remember if I did out of the 1200 + posts that have been done. However here are some of my most favorite moments in no logical order:

Riot Radio: Was an honor to be a part of the Campus Radio Station was one of the first visual radio stations I guess out of College Radio Stations in the country or even Ontario but I forget. I remember when I ended up awfully sick with barely a voice but I managed through a really rough show. This was also the early inspiration for what I am doing now, podcasting and having a passion for being behind the microphone and a lot has come back to me the do's and don't which I could do a podcast on technically. 

Working Out In The Gym/Basketball: We had this thing were we got to go to the gym and shoot some hoops in the gym. I never got to work out on the machines upstairs during my time in College.

Dinner At the Campus Pub: I had dinner with my fellow classmates and other students on the campus and I got to try fried pickles which honestly was delicious! I really enjoyed it and the first time I have had it.

Ridgebacks Hockey Game: For those who didn't know, my college I attended also had an university on the campus as the College and once again I got the honor to see a Ridgebacks hockey game which University hockey is very exciting to watch.

                    There is my list and I am sure there are other moments on campus I can mention such as several videos were made for my YouTube Channel, including an interview with Justin, Larry and the rest of them which was amazing really, I had fun doing it in the process.

Prospects Grill- Chicken Fingers and Fries REVIEW

           First thing I would like to say is, I know I am a couple of days late from when I was at the Generals Game and having dinner out but I had other posts I wanted to get out before but anyways here is my review on the Prospects Grill for the meal 5 pieces of Chicken Fingers and French Fries with a drink: 

        
            As you guys know, this is my second time around at Prospects, I had to do yet another blog post but this time reviewing their Chicken Fingers and French Fries and this time around I took a picture including the view from seats we were in as you can see, we had rink view seats this time around which is really cool to have for a change as last time we were by the window seat looking out at Athol Street and the Walk In Clinic as well. Now to set today's blog post up, I ordered my usual soft drink, a coke, 5 pieces of Chicken Fingers, with Fries. We waited no more then 5 - 10 minutes and we had our dinner already brought to our table same with our friend Mike as well. We were really surprised that we got our dinner so quickly but don't worry it was fully cooked.

Let's talk about the french fries, it was crispy and what I like about these fries, they had some of the potato skins still on it but I love the skin on the french fries, I don't mind it at all whatsoever. Now let's move on to the chicken finger, sauce it's like a sweet and sour sauce it was not spicy but had that sweet and sour taste but it could of also been a plum sauce but I think it was a sweet and sour sauce. The Chicken Fingers when I bit into it and the chicken was fully cooked and it was so tender and soft when I bit into the chicken it liked melted in my mouth when I chewed it and it was so good and the Chicken fingers were the first to be finished. Overall the meal does get a 10/10 and again I would definitely go back for another meal. I do not wanna talk about the Hockey game as I had a rough night during the second period of the hockey but good food and good company for the evening, I enjoyed a majority of the night with my friends.

First Oshawa Generals Game In Years!

            So 4 days ago since I am way behind on the blog posts lately but hey better late then never I guess.  This was the first Oshawa Generals Ontario Hockey League game in quite sometime now and I believe the last game I went to was with either my friends or my family, it is hard to remember this far back right now.  


            This was a crucial game for the Gens as they had to win in order to move up on the Kingston Frontenac's Hockey team who is ahead of the General's currently so any win against Kingston right now will help them move ahead of Doug Gilmour's Frontenac's Hockey team. Now my friend mentioned to me that the Gens lost the night before, yet they had no business to win as it seemed they didn't care to win.


              However they played hard, their heart was in the game on Sunday, even though it took them 3 periods to score it was back and forth and the goalies stood on their heads the first two periods, however 3rd period, a mistake by the Kingston goalie out of his net behind the first goal is scored with a wide open goal. Then of course they scored their second goal and then the empty net goal and of course the Gennies won their game 3 - 0, very exciting game and enjoyed every moment at the game.


                 I had a great evening with my friends, even though Terry, hyper as ever can be and of course him picking on me like usual, but Angie and I got him good. Ha-ha! It is never a dull moment with him. Honestly going out with them, really got my mind off of last week's drama at the mall and it got my depression down quite a lot compare to the recent past several days, I truly had a good time and looking forward to another game soon.

Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni Vs Montreal Canadiens Alumni Game

                On Saturday, my dad and I got to go to the Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni vs the Montreal Canadiens Alumni game with my dad. First of all the game was delayed because the Montreal Alumni were stuck in traffic and of course I openly made some pretty crazy jokes, oh they chickened out against the Leafs Alumni, they are afraid to lose to em but it doesn't matter if they win or lose its all for a great cause, Alzheimer's Society. 



                  So  what also bothered me in the game the fact the Montreal Alumni goalie was a young guy which this suppose to be an alumni game for a great cause, the Alzheimer's Society and should be NHL Alumni from both Toronto and Montreal teams. So that did not please me whatsoever. What kind of surprised me they put in this young guy while Sevigny was on the bench for periods 2 & 3, maybe he couldn't handle 3 periods but again this backup goalie is younger then these alumni and technically he wasn't in the NHL, just a guest goalie. Yet again it was unfair to the Maples Leafs Alumni, due to the fact they had only CUJO (Curtis Joseph) who was the only goalie on the Alumni Roster for the Leafs that were actually going to play. 



                    Now enough of me complaining about the Montreal team, the players I remember well enough is Curtis Joseph, Nik Antropov from the Leafs and for Montreal, Patrice Brisbrois, Stephane Richer as I grew up watching these players in the 90's and into the 2000's as well as well and I know some of the older players as well but not as well but my dad has given me the history of well known players and I always love to learn about the old players who they played with, goals scored, what year they played and so on. 



                    What did I think about the game all together? I love it! I absolutely loved it! I actually was at the edge of my seat during the the entire game, it was very exciting it was back and forth in scoring but yet it was a low scoring and staying very close in scoring, it was exciting. The final score it shocked the heck out of me, it ended in a 4 - 4 tie, so nobody lost, it was very much a very even game and was a great Alumni game! I hope to do this again in the nearby future!
