My Top List of the Decade

top-2000sWow, its mindblowing to think how fast the last decade flew by. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was busy updating thousands of router configs to combat the Y2K bug. Hard to believe that this was 10 years ago already.

Like many sites out there, I felt compelled to come up with my own personal Top list for the naughties decade, and here it is! I consciously tried to keep it short and to the point as to not bore you too much. These are not listed in any particular order.

Top 5 Music CDs: Metallica’s Death Magnetic. Since its release, that CD has been the music that’s played in my Jeep probably 90% of the time. That one was an easy choice. The other 4 music CDs that really stood out for me this decade are Nine Inch Nails – With Teeth, Korn – Take A Look In The Mirror, Linkin Park – Meteora, Bullet For My Valentine – The Poison.

Top 5 Movies: Dark Knight, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Watchmen, Star Wars Episode 3, Casino Royale.Yup, Star Wars Episode 3 made the list. As bad as Episode 1 was, Episode 3 I felt was amazing and brought both trilogies together.

Top 10 TV Shows: I couldn’t pare this down to 5, so I had to make it 10. Even shrinking it down to 10 was a bit hard. Not surprisingly however, most of these shows were on the air in the latter half of the decade. Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Survivor, Dexter, Family Guy, Futurama, Stargate: Atlantis, Firefly, The Office, Smallville

Top Life Changes: I’ve had quite a few big life changes in the last 10 years, most of them coming in the last couple of years. I bought my first house, I got engaged and married. I had a wonderful honeymoon in Paris, where I fell head over heels in love with that city. After 15 years of smoking, I was able to finally quit the nasty habit (and I’m almost 1 year clean). And very recently I found out that I’m going to be a father for the first time.

Here’s to another great decade.

Riders Lose the Grey Cup

Darian Durant

This was quite a Grey Cup game. With 2 seconds left with the Riders leading by 2, Montreal is in field goal range. The ball goes wide, Montreal misses, the crowd goes wild. But wait, there’s a flag on the play. Saskatchewan, in a small but extremely costly mental lapse, has too many men on the field. The Als re-kick from the 33 and score 3 points, winning the game by 1.

This was the Riders game to lose. That 13th man looked to have no impact on the missed field goal. We went from the highest of highs, to the lowest of lows in seconds.

But you know what? I’m extremely proud of our men in green. At the start of the season, all the ‘experts’ called that Saskatchewan would finish last in the west. We had an unproven starting quarterback. We were supposed to get blown out of the water by the Als in the Grey Cup finals. All these so called experts were wrong.

We finished the year at the top of the division. We won the west division championship. We lead the entire game in the Grey Cup final up to the last 2 seconds. All on the back of a first year starting quarterback named Darian Durant.

I’m proud as to what the team accomplished this year, and I have no doubts that we’ll get to the finals again real soon. If Durant keeps on going the way he has been playing, and keeps on improving, he’ll quickly become one of if not THE elite quarterback of the CFL.

Go Green. Rider pride is loud and strong.
