Patrick Chan

I am (quite happily) on Patrick overload!!! My blog post is FINALLY done!!! :yay: In it, I share Chopin, A Journey, and Blackbird, along with the latest life lesson I’ve gleaned from our guy. I hope you all enjoy it. I certainly enjoyed writing it very much! :yes: 4everchan and Ic3Rabbit might recognize some of their own words. ;)

Take These Broken Wings and Learn to Fly

Really enjoyed reading this from your blog:"I chose this post’s title not only because “Blackbird” was Patrick’s short program music this season, but also because we all have broken wings and should learn to fly with them. My own fears can be some of my worst broken wings. Patrick Chan chose to conquer his fear of competing instead of letting it win out. “Blackbird” doesn’t say, “Fix these broken wings and learn to fly,” but rather, “Take these broken wings and learn to fly.” So, take your fears and fly anyway. You never know how many lives you might touch in the process, just like Patrick Chan touched mine."

Thanks again! :love:
 
Thank you all! :ghug: I started my blog about two and a half years ago and Patrick is the ONLY figure skater I've ever blogged about, although I enjoy watching many skaters. Is it terrible that Patrick is the only skater I want to take the time to blog about? Maybe I'll do a blog post when he retires after Pyeongchang and end it with, "There are other figure skaters besides Patrick Chan; it's just that he's my figure skater." :laugh:

Haha, Patrick is the only figure skater I've ever blogged about, too, and it's not terrible at all that you only take time for him, as I do. That's why on Twitter it's much easier for me because I generally limit the scope of my tweets to Patrick only. Besides, he's the only one I have directly encouraged and cheered on, even though I wish all skaters the best!

I invite you (and anyone else here who wants to do it) to guest blog on my site regularly! :agree:


can we make 610 before wtt?? without just filling in? i doubt it but we could try :)

Oh sure, I have some things to post that could fill in the pages! But the flow of the discussion here will become very topsy-turvy indeed! :)




Just finished updating my Worlds and WTT blog posts again! :)

Er, it's going to be really early in the morning for me when Patrick skates... :yawn:
 
I'm sure we could make it to 610 before WTT though I'm not sure what you meant by "Without just filling in." :confused:

all posts that talk about patrick are fine?
my post talked about filling in pages.. bad post LOL

so i will make this one okay :)

i have complained about patrick playing the piano stiffly here's the proof ;)

I wish i could teach him ;)

4everchan, you have no need to apologize!

This is 4 you!!!
 
Other than being around to contribute during WTT and anything else I might find out going into the new season, I just wanted everyone to know that I probably won't be posting here as much, since I'm more of a banter and thread counting lady poster as far as this thread goes.

Just wanted to make that clear before you all wondered where I went.

Love to all!

GO PATRICK!!!!:gclap:

I had previously posted this photochan but I removed it quickly because at the time I was concerned about copyright infringement. I thought it would be cute to re-post it now. :)

I think all the posters in this fanfest contribute mightily in his or her own way! :clapper:

nice photochan !!!

and yes!!!! that's why i clarified! i love everyone here and value every post. Keep at it folks!!! I think i should delete my silly post...
 
this thread in the Edge mentions an article about Patrick....

the article says what we knew already : that Patrick wants a healthy life after skating and won't follow the quad craze at 26... so a few of us including our favourite rabbit ;) spoke up because it's not really news and nothing dramatic.

However, in the article, i noticed this
said Chan, who hopes to add a quad flip to his repertoire in time for the Olympics.

i mean.. i have been dreaming about seeing him land a 4F just because it's so nice... when well done (and Patrick's 3F is the prettiest of them all) so i am dreaming with eyes wide open... BUT... is this the first time he is actually saying this to the press? DID I MISS SOMETHING?
 
I've never heard of this author - Pritha Sarkar. I did a google search and she(?) has written a few other figure skating articles about other skaters this month. I looked it up because I wanted to know if I could believe the comment about the 4F. At this point, I don't know.
 
Well it depends on what's down the rabbit hole. ;)
