Hocktober is Upon Us

I'll just come right out and say it: I'm a huge hockey fan. My heart will always be loyal to the Dallas Stars having been born and raised in Dallas. However, I am a fan of the entire sport overall--the NHL in particular. The hockey season starts in just a few short weeks and I couldn't be more excited. After graduating from high school I was really sad not to be able to go to Stars games anymore...but fate was on my side and brought the Texas Stars minor league hockey team to Cedar Park, Texas--only 20 minutes west of Austin. They are now the feeder team for the Dallas Stars and so they pull players from the Texas Stars and send them up to Dallas from time to time. I also now have the opportunity to get my hockey fix whenever I want and I don't even have to leave Austin!

Hockey is an exciting, fast-paced sport that I love so much, thanks to my mother (who grew up a St. Louis Blues fan). The games are great to share with the people you love and even if they don't know much about hockey, games are always fun.

Only 19 days until the Dallas Stars season starts!

E-Mail Marketing Terms

I recently discovered Stumbleupon for myself. I had heard from my friends that they used it for purposeful distraction and that it was actually pretty fun and educational. Two days ago, I created an account and selected "Marketing" as one of the things that I was interested in--because it will remember your interests and when you "stumble", it will filter the results to things that would be of interest to you. I really liked this website because it seems so pertinent to the marketing world--which is what I would like to pursue after college. I wasn't familiar with all of these terms and I agree with the title of the article emphasizing that "you need to know" these.
