i'm such a bum. andrew southard. bum. whatever. it's 11 o clock am, i'm up. don't you hate it when you have to pee at like 9 but you don't have to be up for a while. so it's a big decision there, i can uncomfortably try to fall back asleep, or i can break my sleep completely and go pee, risking my sleep all together. i went with the latter, yes it was a risky move but risky move is my middle name. if my middle name wasn't benjamin already. anyway, the draft is this weekend! the nfl draft, not the nhl obviously. cause that'll be huge and i'll be writing about it like weeks in anticipation. but anyway, the nfl draft was always one of my favorite sports days. there was a commercial on espn where they called the draft the best day of the year for you and your couch. i really took that seriously. and while we're dabbling in the sports conversation let me say something. anything. say anything. good band. but yeah, listen playoff hockey is great. i love it, absolutely love it. but being an islanders fan during playoff hockey? usually not the most fun experience especially when the douchers are in the playoffs. its ok though, because i know better times are ahead. we just went through year 1 of the rebuild and youth movement. that was tough. last fucking place. but hey, guess whose got the first pick in the draft. come june 26th, when johnny tavares puts on the islander orange and blue, it'll be our time. get ready. i haven't had a championship team since i was 9 years old. it's been almost a decade. i need it. i miss it. i crave it every day. it'll come.
