  • Drake from 5 years ago 6 years ago on I'm Engaging In The Chase: I Guess We'll Give Hinge A Try

    “This is a conscious decision, fueled by a completely unrealistic scenario wherein I go out with this girl and then one of my exes sees me out with her and then texts my ex to let her know whats going on.”

    This doesn’t seem like the chase, more an effort to get back into the game and getting back at an ex. This all seemed half-hearted and forced.

  • Drake from 5 years ago 6 years ago on I'm Engaging In The Chase: A Weekend In New York City

    Super disappointing both because trash move by Blair on inviting a guy to fly to one of the most expensive cities on the planet and getting sick of him after less than 24 hours and because I didn’t see a drunk Duda out at the bars in the city this weekend.

    Also, currently living in NYC and romanticized living in Chicago on multiple occasions so it’s not all roses.

    Grew up in a city and loved every second of it as a teenager. Undoubtedly the best skill is taking public transit alone from a very early age, as you pick up an excellent sense of direction very young. But what’s great about growing up in a city is that you can pretty easily translate those skills you learned growing up into any other city you might visit or live in. Moved to a different major US city post college and while a lot of my buddies who grew up in suburbia were absolute fish out of water while it took me no time to get comfortable.

  • Drake from 5 years ago 7 years ago on The Brunette Across The Room, Part Four

    “You can’t break down the minute she tells you that this break up is for real because right now it is real.”

    Hearing that = instant break down.

    This one is coming across a bit too real here Duda. I imagine I’m one of many, but definitely heard some shit I didn’t want to hear from a mutual friend and told anyone calling that I’m “all good”.

  • Drake from 5 years ago 7 years ago on Why Do People Still Hate On Hockey?

    This is coming from a guy who grew up to Canadian parents, learned to skate when I started walking, and still play beer league weekly.

    Still far and ahead the best sport to play in the world, but the NHL will never be able to grow in popularity for the following reasons:
    1. Despite the fact that it seems as if their is competitiveness in the NHL (Nashville making the cup finals), since 2008 the same 3 teams (Chicago, LA, Pittsburgh) have won the cup in all but 1 year (Boston). If you want an example of “super-teams” and “ring-chasing” look no further than Pittsburgh, where veterans have long been signing to in hopes of a cup.

    2. The NHL actively discourages any form of individuality and personality in its players, which severely hurts its star marketability. Mike Milbury (who is the biggest loser on sports broadcasting) called P.K. Subban, who is far and ahead the coolest player in the league, a “clown” for dancing a in pregame warmups during the playoffs. Then when Sidney Crosby (read: whiny teenage girl) throws a water bottle on the ice because a call doesn’t go his way and then pounds P.K. Subban’s head into the ice, he not only gets no penalty from the league, but Milbury says Subban “had it coming”.

    Hockey will forever be my go to sport when I’m looking to play some pick up, but as far as a professional sport it has a long way to go.
