Derek Martin is a pretty humble dude. From very modest beginnings, he would take great pride in seeing someone model themselves around him to create a player in an online league. Hockey is a passion that unites everyone through their love of the beautiful game, and as such its tough to dislike or be mad about something like this happening. That said, on a philosophical standpoint, Martin reflects: is there more to us, are we real? Granted its hard to have that truth revealed, it still implies a certain level of comfort in not knowing, comfort that does not sit right with Martin. Maybe a new quest for the truth?

As the season shall progress, Derek will be looking for more clues of this so called ''higher truth'', of the fictional world we live in and what line exists between truth and fiction, about this world and the other. What purpose to a life of numbers and symbols, what purpose to the chase of glory with Los Angeles if at the end of the day its all a simulation. Hmmm, more to come on this, but something to be wary of.
