Hey, what's up? Say what? This is a blog, not a Facebook conversation? Well that's embarrassing. Anyways, I figure if you guys are going to become regulars here at my blog (or maybe it's just my mom, either way it helps make me feel like I'm going to be famous if I pluralize), that you should probably know a few things about me. No, I'm not going to delve into my personal life (sorry random internet creeps, go look at someone else's blog), but I'll just scratch the surface on who I am. So I guess we'll get started?
Side Note: I just realized that I completed my first paragraph as a blogger. That's pretty historic right there. Take pictures, live by the words whatever. If you want autographs, now's the time.
My name is Ryan Bentley and I'm from the Okanagan region in British Columbia (again no specifics; internet stalkers already hate me). I'm pretty nerdy (only in the sense of my intelligence, I don't wear suspenders, or have glasses, or all that other stereotypical stuff), and I absolutely LOVE math. I'm in Grade 12, and it's probably the best part of school. Now, things may be looking pretty grim here; oh s*** I'm reading a blog written by a complete loser who likes math more than anything. Yeahhhh, not so much. My life outside of school is much different than probably most of you are thinking. I do indeed have friends, and I'm a stereotypical Canadian; I absolutely WORSHIP hockey.
Hockey is what we Canadians live and die with, so I figured what better way to express that then to create a hockey blog (with possible random thoughts here and there) centering my favourite team: the Vancouver Canucks. I've loved this team for quite a while, though not as long as some hardcore fans, due to the fact that I am only 17. I follow the Canucks avidly, and watch every game I can when I'm not at work playing floor hockey (that's right, I play floor hockey for a part-time job. Jealous? Thought so.). My favourite player is Ryan Kesler (sorry Bieksa, hope I'm not a milk hotdog to you now...) though really anybody on the team is pretty awesome.
I decided to start a blog like this because it sounded somewhat fun, and my main influences would definitely have to be Wyatt Arndt, aka "The Stanchion" (seriously go check out his stuff at http://blogs.theprovince.com/category/sports/hockey/the-legion-of-blog/ he's absolutely hilarious) and Harrison Mooney/Daniel Wagner from PassItToBulis (another funny Canucks blog http://www.passittobulis.com/). Their style's of humour have caused me to want to blog. Which reminds me, I haven't really said anything funny in a little while. Hopefully I haven't lost any viewer's interest. *Insert funny here*
Anyways, since I mentioned that Kesler is my favourite player (if you're first hearing about this now, I need to make my posts less boring!), I'll post a video that shows why he's awesome. It's a classic, so chances are, you've seen it.
Anyhoot, that's who I am in a nutshell. Hopefully this post hasn't scared you off, and if it hasn't, come back for more! Don't worry, if I have you on any of my social networking sites, you will see new posts, because in the wise words of The Stanchion: "Don't feel bad about spamming your crap". Spam I will :) See you guys later, hopefully in the near future!
