Kuuanonnii ghosts. Do you feel blessed or cursed to be reading my work? I ask because curse would seem to be the sentiment amongst the living who can't wait to not subscirbe to me.


They do know that by just subscribing they give me a boost and don't even have to read what I'm writing, thoug sure, that'd be cool and all, there's always the option of looking at the drawings.


Yes I'm feeling the bitter.


Like what does it say if I can't even gain subscribers amongst those who know me?


So, is it a blessing or a curse to be talented in writing and drawing/


Or is it just a curse to think that I have any talent in either?


Ah is that it?


Am I just convinced of being in possession of talent when I don't have any?


I don't think so because I know I have no business singing and just don't, though yes, I posted a video to youtube of me singing   one of the few songs that worked directly out of a poem which I did sing at a pub. 


So those exceptions aside, I don't sing because I suck at it and have no voice worth listening to as a singer.


But you should definitely be reading my words, even these ones as part of the epic accomplishment of writing a million words in a single year.


Do the math!


It's a staggeringly hard accomplishment that I have managed to do once and mi in the process of doing a second time as I have slipped past 600,000 words in the first week of August.


You are impossible  Joseph Perris! Why must I be bound to men who cannot help but disappoint me with their weaknesses?” She said, sounding bitter about her position in life, as even on a world of magic there were inescapable realities of servitude to unfairness. But what kind of man would I be if I took advantage of that reality?


Well, we can't have that can we? What if I go with you and release you from the need of being mine?” 


I didn't write in the second quarter and I'm okay with it because I am only 401 words, as of the beginning of this quarter's writing away from the harvesting of 20 fields for the writing week.


But getting that alone is not enough as that would still leave me short of the least harvest of day this decade, because as you know, even though you won't accept it, the 2020's begin in...


2020, funny how that works eh? The 20's begin in 2020 and end in 2029.


All this to say I have to write another 651 words from the beginning of this quarter which will end while the Montreal Canadiens are playing the Pittsburgh Penguins.


Yes, strangely enough and it's strange to be playing hockey in the middle of the day during the week.


On Sidney Crosby's birthday no less.


Qij!


So Sidney Crosby's going to score twice and assist on two others as the Penguins win 4-1 and everyone sayd the Penguins are back and they've solved the Canadiens who shouldn't have taken the series past three games?


Well, based on their play following the Capitals' game in November, the Habs haven't played like they belonged amongst the good teams, because they not lost 8 games straight once, they did it twice and added another five just because.


So I should get the story writing done  before the game, which is right around the corner and my writing is going to be heavily affected by the results, which if bad, will bring my joy level way the heck down.


And that was how I voiced my decision to  go with her, even though she was more brash than I was looking for, Freeing her of her obligation was going to change just how much time we spent together, which was for the best. It was also the right thing to do.


But to have gone with her to Paraveedun would have been to make a decision that I would regret for the rest of my days.


Oh thank you Joseph Perris, that makes me happier than you can possibly know. But there's no guarantee of success for you must win the challenge to allow for our separation of intent.


Challenge? What kind of challenge?” I asked, as I was certain sure that I wasn't going to like their idea of a challenge because it was sure to be something that was physical which would be very demanding for me which was the last thing I needed. But I'd already told that I would go so I was going, I was just afraid of how badly it was going to go.


The game between the Pittsburgh Penguins, who won back to back  Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017 are facing elimination against the Montreal Candiens, a team that was nowhere near the playoffs when the season was halted due to the Virus COVID.


So they have no business, based on the overall stats of being a win away from making the fans of the Penguins howl with rage and disappointment.


Of course, if the Penguins win, then the prognosticatoprs will say that the Habs can't win two straight to close out the series but have proven themselves more than capable of losing two straight and will now do so because the Penguins have them buried under experience and have Sidney Crosby, playing on his birthday with a pretty good history against the team.


Also the Habs are now 0 for 11 on the power play.


Ugh.


Oh bother.


The Habs just took a penalty on Sidney Crosby's 33rd birthday and the Penguins have actually scored power play goals in this series.


And it's Sidney Crosby's birthday.


The team to score first has  won each of the three games.


Also, the Habs are not going to score a shortie, or two, to make me jump out of my chair to hoot and holler with joy because a 2-0 Candiens' lead with less than 7 minutes of play in the second period would be pretty damn exciting.


Or just the right amount adversity that the Penguins would need.


Phew, they didn't score.


It's still 0-0.


This game isn't going to end in overtime is.


Go Habs go!


Yawn, it's a Habs' power play. They're 0 for 11. They're not going to score.


Sigh.


I called it.


They didn't score and if the winner's going to be scored by a Hab, it won't be by Jeff Petry who had a trajectory of scoring in overtime and the third.


So I was hoping he'd score in the second.


But with less than 20m seconds left to play in the second, no one's going to score.


The third period has begun and the quarter's about to end so I will be bringing the writing to an end after the Habs had their best chance a t a goal all game(?), but they were robbed by not Matt Murray.


Kuuanonnii ghosts.


Why are the 4th place Oilers of Edmonton playing the 12th place Chicago BlackHawks when in the East it was the the 5th place Penguins losing to the 12th place Canadiens.


Something doesn't make sense to me.


Okay, according to the NHL, the Oilers were 5th, but the standings on both Rogers and TSN had the Oilers in 4th, which is why I was annoyed on behalf of the Oilers.


So I guess I should be irked with them instead of the NHL.


She said nothing and just grabbed me by the hand as she had quickly closed the distance between us as she wanted to make sure there was no chance for me to back out of the promise I'd just made. Not that I could blame her because it is definitely something I would have considered doing if she'd given me the chance to. But she hadn't and off we were to Paraveedun and a challenge that would have to be the greatest of my life. So of course I was going to struggle with it.


I'm glad I didn't need to write much of anything this quarter because I wouldn't have been able to go out.


Kuuanonnii ghosts.
