Minnesota Sports Blunders

Minnesota this year has really been loosing it's touch in the sporting world. Here are just a few. (These are in no particular order)

• Vikings missing the playoffs
• Torii Hunter leaving the team
• The KG trade
• Randy Moss
• Gopher football (0-8 in confrence, 1-11 overall)
• The Johan Santana trade (I'm hoping not, but it looks likely)
• T-Wolves

Yet, There are also good things that have happened this year.

• Adrian Peterson
• Gaborik's 5 goal, 1 assist game
• Gopher Basketball
• One of the Wolves' wins was over the Suns

My Favorite Drummers

Before I start naming drummers, I would like to tell that if you think that someone should be added to the list, just post me a comment and I will look into it.

1. Neil Peart- Rush He is the greatest ever, WITHOUT A DOUBT!!
2. Mike Portnoy-Dream Theatre He is so accurate and percise, it seems unhuman.
3. The Rev-Avenged Sevenfold His double bass are like two cannons going off one after another.
4. Travis Barker-Blink 182, +44 He is the ultamite punk rock drummer.
5. John Bonham-Led Zeppelin Just and all around great drummer.
6. Keith Moon-The Who The greatest drummer from the 70's.
7. Buddy Rich-Jazz Great The greatest jazz drummer of our time.
8. Chad Smith-Red Hot Chili Peppers His groovy beats are some of my favorites.
9. Joey Jordison-Slipknot He is the fastest rock drummer ever.
10. Jojo Mayer-Nerve One of my favorite jazz drummers.
11. David Schoeberl-Independent Quite possibly the best drummer ever.

The New Year

This Christmas was very fun! There was not very much snow on the ground, though (it had all melted by then). I got a double bass drum pedal, a bunch of Neil Peart "fan gear," and a new Ipod. Everything was great. Sam got a new skateboard, and Jack got a toy guitar. We also went to the Blue Man Group in Boston as an early Christmas present. It was so cool! Our new year was also quite enjoyable, although I was on the computer when the ball dropped. I can't wait for you guys to come out and visit us. Take care.
