Life with Canucklehead

2009 in Review

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 14:31:46 -0500

Okay - well, I got off work early - so time for last post before the year 2009 comes to a close. I started a tradition of posting a year in review - not my year personally (which would make too much sense) - but a year of the website in review. Well, just the facts ma'am - numbers and stats and such. Hmph - sounds pretty dumb when I say it that way, but I'll keep up the tradition nonetheless. Maybe a short bit about MY year first:

The Canucklehead family did not endure - we prevailed! We had a kitty die at the hands of a reckless motorist in the spring, took a family trip to Greece, went to a cottage, got a goldfish, got another kitty, I grew a moustache, we lost a goldfish and I ran with the Olympic torch. In between was of course filled with birthdays, weddings and special family events that made 2009 a simply great year. Okay, enough about me. Let's move on to the site - as many of you will already know - this was by FAR our best year yet. And I use the term 'our' literally…

Well, it's almost certainly my last post of 2009 and I'm sending a shout-out to a friend, well - more specifically his website. I just found out about during Christmas dinner and I promised to give him a little love - so here it is.

In short, Two former hockey players originating from Greek descent united through their passion of comedy, both musical and sketch, have come together in hopes of one day having their names presented in wikipedia. If it matters, I'm a family friend of Dimitri and I wish him all the best in his new venture. Oh, and you can check them out HERE!

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll find over there:

So head on over and tell all your friends! I've watched all the videos and can vouch that they got the funny. Tell them that Canucklehead sent you and you'll get - well, nothing special actually. Then again, either will I - unless of course you count the warm feeling that accompanies doing something nice for someone. Which sadly I don't.

OK - well all the best…

Happy Ho Ho Ho Ho

(insert your own Tiger Woods joke here)

Truth be told - I actually planned on taking the rest of the year off. Lord knows I deserve it - it has been one hell of a busy year. Sorry - no punch line - it actually has been pretty busy. However, it's 10:30 - everyone is in bed and I'm full of homemade eggnog and 140 proof spiced rum - so, well ... here we go!

Warning: spelling and grammar nazis should stop reading now - things are about to get messy. Not a little messy, Canucklehead messy - who is barely legible at the best of times.

As well, things have taken a bit of an upswing here on Canucklehead lately - no biggee - just a mere 2,479,089 pageviews over the last 30 days (thank you StumbleUpon). So, I fell a tad motivated is all. I did do an Olympic torch run and well, it's Christmas -its all good.

It's funny - it is all one site but I noticed that my blog and LOOK crowd are like WAY different. So, I guess I should also share my new fave Xmas picture with you guys ... remember, he…
