- Back by popular demand I give you another installment of the quotes of the week. In the interest of switching things up a bit (and also due to work commitments that have led to me not posting as much), I have gone away from posting the weekly quotations the last few weeks. I really did enjoy doing some research for my D-Day posting this past week. I have been a World War II history buff my entire life so most of what I posted I already knew, but it was still fun to re-read alot of my books on the Second World war. For anyone looking for some great reads on World War II, I highly reccomend anything by Stephen E. Ambrose. While he was alive he was the foremost authority on D-Day, and other European theatres of battle during the Second world War. Some of his best works include D-Day The Complete History (this book was the basis for the movie Saving Private Ryan), Citizen Soldiers, and Band Of Brothers (This book was the basis for the HBO series). Every year around this time my interest in the war is always rekindled as the D-Day specials and testimonials begin during early June.
- For any wrestling buffs out there, tonight is the long-awaited ECW One Night Stand Pay-Per view from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. The card is stacked, and it should be a great show. After work I will be heading out to watch the proceedings with some friends. Among the matches I am looking forward too are Edge Vs. Kurt Angle, and John Cena Vs. Rob Van Dam. This new ECW re-launch is really taking off, and hopefully it will be the shot in the arm that the business needs.

Heavy comments. Wow.
The Bruins have had a tough decade. The NHL needs the Bruins to come back strong, as they have always been one of the elite teams in the NHL. The fans are starting to waver, and who can blame them - the ownership has done a terrible job with this once proud franchise.
The ECW PPV was excellent - a shot in the arm that wrestling and the WWE needed. The first show was pretty cool, too - I really liked the Zombie character, even though he got squashed.
E-C-DUB, E-C-DUB, E-C-DUB!
