11:11

Be careful what you wish for on 11:11, because it might come true. Maybe not immediately, but 8 or 9 months down the line.

Today I woke up to a surprise. I checked facebook and saw that I had a message. It was from Nathan Gerbe. If you don't know, he's one of the best players on the Pirates hockey team and destined to make it to the NHL. He's only 5'6, which is part of what amazes me about him. Not his height, but how courageous and tough he is among all the 6' something guys.

Like I said, it took me completely by surprise. There is part of me that isn't too surprised though. Anyway I always saw him more as a person than a rising professional athete. Hockey is a job after all. It's their passion, but it's a job. It's not exactly who they are. That's why I like to treat atheletes like everyone else. That and the fact that I might be working with them some day if I decide to get my Ph.D.
