Well it took a little longer than expected but it’s finally here. The new site features more java, more content, and should be set up to view on multiple platforms.

I had planned on putting the site shortly after my last post but I did not plan on being attacked right outside my apartment. I don’t really like to share personal details over the internet but to anyone who ever has any suspicion of danger; please trust your instincts. No matter how strong you feel your bubble is, someone has a needle sharp enough to pop it.

In my case I was attacked by three nobodies. They were walking northbound as I headed southbound on Battery (irony?). Their formation was as followed: one on the sidewalk coming towards me, one on the opposing sidewalk, and one walking right down the middle of the street. I had walked by the one nearest to me and thought I had made it to my door. Within a split second I heard the sound of his jacket making a quick movement. My first thought was “IDIOT!” how can I be so stupid? He had put me in a full nelson and the other two ran over and started throwing punches. I realize you can’t rationalize and irrational act but you can take steps to prevent it. I am unclear on how I would prevent my situation. I do take note that it is my responsibility to tell others about my story, so if they find themselves in a similar situation, they’ll know how to respond.

Fortunately all my years of playing hockey prepared me to take such a beating and the only damage I undertook was from the fall and one of the beer bottles I was carrying broke. To end on a lighter note; 3 of the 4 beers survived and I savored every moment.

Be safe, enjoy the new layout, and Happy Holidays!
