2011 New Year's Resolutions/Look Back Through 2010

Basically, my resolutions for 2011 are just about the same as 2010's. Like maintain my current weight, and continue to workout. Visit new stadiums and arenas. Meet some more famous people. I don't really like to go all out with resolutions, but hopefully I can accomplish these in 2011.

Now, here is a quick pictureless recap of my 2010.
Watched so much of the Winter Olympics.
Went to Prudential Center (Newark, NJ), Nationals Park (Washington DC), and saw the opening of Consol Energy Center here in Pittsburgh and already went 3 times.
Got my 1st game HR ball (hit by Rickie Weeks of the Milwaukee Brewers)
Went to 2 amazing concerts. (Warped Tour 2010 and Brooks&Dunn)
Went to Florida, again! Always an amazing vacation.
Made people happy.

And that is just some of the things that I wanted to share. Next post is very soon.

Have a Happy New Year everybody!

12/12/10- Steelers vs. Bengals (Heinz Field)

Great game to be at! We got to Heinz Field around 10:40, and got in line.

When the gates opened, we began to walk towards our seats, but stopped for some great wings first.

After we got to our seats, we walked down by the first row to be close to the field, and near the away player entrance.

From where we were at, close to where the Bengals came out, I got to see some of the players up close.

*After that, my camera wasn't working good, so the rest of the pictures were taken with my phone.

That was the only picture that I took during the game because it was too cold to keep getting my phone out and taking pictures, sorry.
After the game, while walking across the Roberto Clemente bridge, I saw a guy with an awesome jersey.

When I got home I took the picture below.

This was a great game to be at for multiple reasons, and here they are: the Steelers played a great game on defense, real Steelers football. Also since we were playing the Bengals, it was fun to talk trash on Owens, Ochocinco, and Palmer.

Sidney Crosby's Streak!

It can be defined in one word. Amazing.

During last nights 7-2 win over Columbus, Sidney Crosby scored 2 goals, extending his points streak to 15 games, and giving him 23 goals on the season. He has a total of 46 points this year so far in 28 games. *I am so lucky to have him on my fantasy hockey team* Currently ESPN.com has Sid on pace for 135 points this season. Me and every Penguins and Crosby fan in the world would love to see that happen.

Keep the points streak goin' Sid, and keep the winning streak goin' Pens!
