Earnest Grasshopper

Earnest Grasshopper.  Why not just Iain Michie?  I don't know-good question.  I like 'Earnest Grasshopper' maybe I'm just 
an 'Earnest Grasshopper' and that's all there really is to it.  Grasshoppers are interesting creatures, right?  They're not that big but they can jump enormous distances.  Apparently they're symbols of good luck so there's that!  What attracted me to grasshoppers was the fact that when they jumped they didn't seem to be able to jump to any place in specific.  They jumped and sort of seemed to hope for the best-they had to do all of the heavy lifting prior to the jumping itself-thus the earnest part.  Without the the earnest focus on development and self-improvement the odds wouldn't be in the grasshopper's favor.  The odds might not be in the grasshopper's favor anyway-the odds might not be in any of our favor-we pay our money and we take our chances.  We do our best.  This Grasshopper simply approaches the challenges of life in an Earnest fashion.  So maybe the odds that he'll land in a favorable spot will increase.
You'll find hockey references throughout the site.  I like hockey.  I play in a beer league with the famous Fur Bearing Trout 1/2 the fun is playing & the rest is drinking with my friends.  It's probably 1/4 playing and 3/4 drinking but sometimes we have really late games and don't have a chance to drink so the odds get flattened a little I guess.
