Centsports.com What a Concept

Have you ever seen something or used something and asked yourself... "why couldn't i think of this?" This is the question i asked myself when i started using centsports.com. What a concept. You pay nothing, place your bets, and have a chance at winnig some real cash. The cash they pay out come from money they raise from advertising. This site is addictive, not because of the "money" you can win, but because its actually a lot of fun. Lets be serious for a moment, your not going to get rich of this site. The main reason why i play is because i find it makes the games more exciting. For those of you who don't know what centsports.com is, here is a brief explaination. You sign up by giving your e-mail address and name (doesn't need to be your real name). Once you sign up you can place bets on sports such as basketball, football, hockey, etc. You start of with 10 cents and try to work your way up from there. Once you reach 10$ you are allowed to "cash out" (like anyone would cash out for 10$). While using the site you can also add friends to a list, write comments on bets your friends make, send messages, and add what they call cronies. Cronies are people/friends you get to sign up to the site. For each crony you sign up, you will recieve 5% of what they win (for example if one of your cronies win 1.00$ you will recieve 5 cents). The design of this site is excellent and easy to use.

Children of the Dark Years

Let me explain to you my situation with the Montreal Canadiens. Born in 1985 i can say that i have been a habs fan since the 1996-1997 season (roughly around the age of 12). During this time period (from 1996-2008) the historic montreal candiens have won the stanley cup 0 times, have won the presidents trophy 0 times, have won the eastern conference 0 times, have won the northeast divison 0 times, have made the playoffs 5 times, have had home ice in the playoffs 0 times, have advanced to the eastern conference semi-final 3 times have advanced to the eastern conference final 0 times, have had a 50 goal scorer 0 times, have had a 100 point player 0 times. I dont know about you but thats alot of 0's. Here is my problem...I LOVE THE CANADIENS. Canadien fans born within the time frame of lets say (1982-1992) are to me, concidered children of the dark years. Fans born in the 50's and the 60's will never understand what we are going through, after all they did see probably over 15 cups in there lifetimes. Now considering what i have gone through within my time as being a Montreal Canadiens fan i feel more confortable in explaining to you where i believe the Canadiens will finish this season. I predict that the canadiens will end up anywhere from 7th-10th in the Eastern Confercne. I am not just basing my prediction on history alone, i just feel that they do not have enough talent to go around to stay where they are in the standing right now. Please forgive my pessimism, for i am a child of the dark ages...

....a new beginning

I decided to start this blog mainly becuase A) if gives me something to do when im sick of studying at the library and B) to help me pass my university writting test this way i won't have to take another course, meaning i could get out of this hell hole that is concordia a.s.a.p. (by the way if you notice any spelling or grammer mistakes please let me know). Today was a day of new beginnings for me as i have done two things i would never do. Today when researching a topic for a course i came about a book, thats right a book, that i purchased at chapters downtown. Anyone who knows me would know that if its not required by the course....i aint buying it! I barley buy the books that are required! Yet in my attempt to "change my ways" i purchased the book and should be recieving it in 3-9 days. If anyone is interested the book is called "wearing chinese glasses" by Greg Bissky (he also has videos on youtube that explain the book, which is probably why i was interested in buying it in the first place). After i finished up at chapters i was hungry so i went to the FG building to get something to eat and guess what i had. i ordered at subways a 6 inch turkey sandwich on Italian bread, thats right...6 inch, NO cheese, NO mayonaise, with all the vegies. I know i said this in the past but i am serious about loosing some weight (at 210 want to drop to at leat 180). As i sat down (only to look down at my meesly little sandwich) i noticed the person sitting in front of me. In front of me was a skinny (150 lbs. at best) chinese fellow concordian enjoying two slices of pizza with a poutine and a coca-cola. This got me to thinking how do these people do it. Case in point, Mr Christopher Anthony Franco, a pal of mine who doesnt play any sports, can only assume he doesn't exersice, enjoys a good quality meal from time to time (if you know what i mean), yet hes a lean 150-60 lbs. I stopped playing hockey for two years and i gain 40 lbs. I dont get it. Anyways, with the conbination of eating right and running on my treadmill 30 minuts a day four days a weeki hope to get back into shape within this year.
