Blue Lines Blog: It hurts to see MY Atlanta Thrashers go.

2008 NHL All-Star Game, Atlanta, Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta Spirit, Atlanta Thrashers, Black Hell, Blue Lines, Bob McKenzie, Centennial Tower, CNN Center, Dan Kamal, Dany Heatley, Danzig, ESPN.com, Georgia Dome, Hangover 2, Hawks, Ilya Kovalchuck, Key Yemaya Walker, Patrik Stefan, Philips Arena, Tampa Bay Lightning, The Associated Press, Thrashers, True North, True North Sports and Entertainment, TSN Canada

When Philips Arena first opened, my good friend who left the Georgia Dome, and went on to work for Philips Arena would take me to see the new hockey team in Atlanta, and the first team since the Atlanta Flames had left the Omni. In 2003 the process began for the sale of the Hawks and Thrashers to Atlanta Spirit.

I was lucky enough to work for the Thrashers, skate (and skate again, and break my arm) on their ice. See them clinch their first ever playoffs (missed working Playoffs due to above 100 temperature). Work, attend our hosted 2008 NHL All-Star game in Atlanta at Philips Arena. Wear the Thrashers jersey. It does hurt that something we worked so hard on, now moves on to Winnepeg.

I will miss the Thrashers, and today is a sad day for Atlanta…
I will remember Dan Kamal’s Calls,
Seeing Thrash-Heart during my first years seeing the team,
My first Thrashers jersey (my first NHL jersey was the Tampa Bay Lightning, since we had no team, and that was the closest),
Listening to them on 680 the Fan, 790 the Zone, then 680 the Fan again, XM Radio,

From AP and ESPN.com News services.
True North Sports and Entertainment has completed its deal to purchase the NHL’s Atlanta Thrashers, clearing the way to move them to Winnipeg.

True North announced the deal at a news conference Tuesday at MTS Centre in Winnipeg, the arena the team will call home next season, pending league approval.

This song sums up how I feel…if you’ve seen the movie, think of that scene…it helps.

What I Learned Sundays (Monday) – Special

30 Monday May 2011

adidas, Baby, Blue Lines, Boston, Key Yemaya Walker, San Francisco, Yoshi's San Francisco

We arrived outside of Boston, and my mother made the call to my sister-in-law, “We’re around the corner, do you want to come to lunch?”

My sister-in-law let her know that she was coming back from the store, and was actually outside with my niece (whom, I’d had yet to meet). She took off running, as did I to find my niece in her stroller wearing the Adidas onesie I had purchased will in San Francisco earlier this year…San Francisco…Yoshi…Sushi…that’s another story. And I peered into the stroller, my niece, confused by the new faces, stared trying to determine whether to affix her gaze on her mother, and try to calculate why these “new” adults were entering her world. Everyone entered, while I collected items from the rental that may not have been safe left outside. I walk inside eventually, to hear my niece crying at the top of her lungs. This was strange, although I only knew her from photographs, simply because I had seen, and heard about how much of a happy baby she was. Granted, I’m not surprised by a child being shocked, scared, and surprised by new faces. But the cries and screams, I was taken aback. But then I noticed one constant occurrence between my 7 ½ month old Libra niece, between her cries. After I had entered, she’d look back at me pause, look forward to my mother, and begin to cry again…look back at me, pause…look forward and pause. Now I’m not silly, and not a fool, and understood what I saw. In the past, all of my friends daughters I had been able to calm, and put to sleep, even my current toddler niece. With this, I saw my cue, and I walked forward, kneeled down, and with my first niece of our bloodline, I picked her up, and her cheeks, though stained by tears, allowed her eyes to dry up, and she smiled, stopped crying and sat calmly in the arms of her uncle whom she had never met before.

How did I feel…special. Special to know that I was able to experience a love and understanding from a new family member, who had not met me before…and I will insert, the Libra – Taurus bond works one of two ways, very great, or very bad. I see with family (cuzzo, and now niece) out family and Zodiac bond is connected. But, that has less to do with what I mean to put across, SPECIAL, to feel that feeling, and it’s not a baby’s love for a caretaker, or the reciprocal love, it’s that simple feeling of someone whether it be an infant niece, or a woman who loves me, or my Mother, to say the least, to make you feel Special. You don’t owe them anything, nor do they…and yes it can be a father or brother too, it’s just that love. It’s very calming, and promising to feel that feeling. It will come.

That’s what I learned, after that…nothing else really mattered this weekend (to YOU, that was not meant in any way, shape, or form against YOU…WE have other things WE need to deal with). And my manuscript copyright is updated!!!

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998.

Whoa, had a flashback as we rode back from Athens last week, and this took the place of the scheduled Hip-Hop Quotable for this week after an all out performance with Ike on 316. We weren’t listening to the “Fly Robin, Fly,” version.

Intro:

Takin it from the top?
Tippy? Tippy?

How High?….
The Ultimate High….

Verse One: Method Man

Scuse me as I kiss the sky
Sing a song of six pence, a pocket full a rye
Who the f–k wanna die for their culture
Stalk the dead body like a vulture
Tical get, HMMM
Blacker than your blackest stallion
Hit your house’n projects
I represent the Shaolin my n—a
Hell yes, Apocalypse now, the gun blow
It be goin down, diggy diggy down diggy down down

I remember my friend in high school telling me about this HBO movie The Josephine Baker Story that I needed to see. Too bad I didn’t have cable at the time.
