My Newfound Love

I'm surprised to find myself here, getting involved, recognizing familiar screen names already, learning new things about Blazers and basketball in general.  A few months ago, if anyone had told me I would be here making a post on a basketball fan site I would've thought they had flipped their lid.  But, here I am... a girl who has a newfound love for an amazing man, as well as the sport of basketball... and for the Blazers in particular. 

My interest began the day I met my new boyfriend.  He frequents Bedge on a daily basis and declared to me pretty much the day we met that I would be required to love the Blazers or it just might be a deal breaker.  At the time, I was a little taken back by that, and said I would be happy to support him in his love for the Blazers and that I was willing to learn about them and watch games with him, but little did I know that I would so quickly develop a love of my own for them.  Now I'm hooked! 

So here I am, eagerly learning more each day, realizing what an amazing time this is to become a Blazers' fan and getting to see the team come together and stun audiences with such things as the .8 second miracle shot by Broy (I knew that play was magical the second I saw it, even before I knew much about bball), Oden's arrival and growth as a Blazer unfolding before our eyes, and the magic of players like Broy and Rudy (whom I like to refer to as Rudy Patootie).  I simply can't help but fall more in love with my boyfriend, the Blazers and this site every step of the way.  I cherish watching each and every game with my boyfriend, rooting my new team to victory and sharing our passion for the Blazers together.  I also adore reading everyone's articles here and getting your perspectives on the players, the games of past, present and future and the Blazers as a whole. 

Taking it all in, I just can't help but think the Blazers' future is so bright that we may need to invest in some kickbutt sunglasses, folks.  ;)
