There's only one Nick Dauner!

I probably shouldn't be writing a blog post in the state that I am in right now. The reality is that I lost a good mate. Someone that you could totally rely on. A true supporter of the game today. I write these words in the spirit of himself. Nick Dauner aka Pretzels.

I do realize that I am a shot and a couple pints of Magner's into my evening, just had a few with some of the faithful at the pub. I don't think Pretzels would have had it any other way. Great guy this one was, is, and always will be.

It was nice to see the good bunch out in force, taking over the cafe seating on a very warm October night. It was good to share a few jokes and a few memories. Like a private memorial for a good person who touched all our lives.

I am just glad I had him get a Kooper's burger. It's all about the oppurtunities, you may miss them if you don't grab them. I do hate the whole "seize the day! I just watched that Robin Williams movie bullshit! The reality of it all is that ones flame can be snuffed in an instance.

I know I probably shouldn't be writing anything right now. I said that in the beginning. However, I lost a mate, so please forgive me and indulge my selfish babbling.

Sometimes you are up, sometimes you are down. Sometimes you are relegated.

I'll be seeing Pretzels on the terraces, one day, I know that's an immortal truth.
There's only one Nick Dauner
There's only one Nick Dauner
walking along, singing a song
walking in a Dauner wonderland!
Love ya Nick, even if you were a Chelski blue!

p.s. fuck editing, I don't care if it looks good.

Forget about the editing--says the English prof--the sentiment was spot on. xoxo
