Comment for a Cause (c4ac) has raised $186 towards the MS Society. That’s $107 more then last years. I have a handful of posts (in draft format) that I would love to publish right now for Comment for a Cause but they might wait for later date or the next time I decide to do another comment for a cause. Personally I don’t know how some people can blog daily and or more then once a day?

I’m already thinking up which charities to pick for next year.. If you have any ideas please let me know Since next year will be year 3 of Comment for a Cause, I’ve been playing around with some ideas on how to make it bigger and better, like maybe inviting 1 or 2 guest bloggers to help out.

There were some folks, who didn’t understand and or got confused with this whole Comment for a Cause event; Which I was kind of surprised about so now I have to make so a 3 year old can understand the rules so now there will be a mini blurb about c4ac (per post). Because of those folks now, I’m debating on doing Comment for a Cause for 1 entry or update daily for half the month or keep it for the whole month. I got until March of next year to play around with this. Bleh!

Thank you for helping me donate to a great cause. Let’s hope we can find a cure.

The top supporters for this year Comment for a Cause were:

Chris with 27 comments ~ wins the free [for a year] domain from Bluefur.Com
Dez with 25 comments ~ wins the free hosting [for a year] from Sugar-Devil.Com
Caity with 21 comments ~ wins the sock monkey that’s made by a local non profit company.

My question is to you, would you be interesting in doing your own Comment for a Cause or helping out with mine?

Comment for a Cause will be back in full swing in April 2010.

Growing up I’ve always been a football fan (cfl/nfl) and of course into water sports while all my friends were into hockey. Now I’m just getting tired of Hockey this and Hockey that, Vancouver isn’t a one sport city, we have a lot of different sports and interests… But I guess not everyone sees that.

I can’t believe that I’m writing about Hockey! I personally don’t have nothing against it, I just rather play street hockey then spend a pretty penny and watch over paid players beat each other up. Now if they were wearing pink tutu’s but that might be another story. Am I happy that the Canucks are in the playoffs sure, but that’s not going to make me watch a game.

For someone who doesn’t watch a lot of hockey, I feel like someone is trying to push their religion on me, just the way a good chunk of Vancouverites on twitter are twittering about Canucks this Canucks that. I’m sure that’s like with any other pro sport town, if your not into the sport but you know what’s happening cause its talked about daily. I just wish more people would notice that not everyone else out there is interested in the same things as they are.

As an athlete who has a site|blog, I try and watch what I say all the time as not all my readers are into the same sport as I am OR would want to hear about it 24/7.

Pro Sport Fans drive me insane, You get the groupies because a player is good looking and then you get someone who think they can play better but never step a foot on the ice before, don’t forget cause its now NHL playoff season, you got the on and off again bandwagon fans who disappear when the team isn’t doing to well and appear then they do well (those people need to pick a freaken side and stay on it)

/end of rant and Comment for a Cause has ended for another year .. thank you for all helping me raise $$ towards the MS Society.
