Last Thursday I went to see Linkin Park Live. This was an incredible concert, one that i will never forget. It was in Madison Square Garden and featured Chiodos and Coheed & Cabria as the opening acts. When Linkin Park came out the crowd went into a frenzy. The energy didnt stop until the show ended.
The biggest suprise of the night was when rapper Jay-Z came out for the second encore. it was a thorough shock for me and the entire crowd. It was done so well and i dont think i could ever experience something like this ever again.

New Evidence
Recently Dallas County district attorney Craig Watkins discovered documents in a safe relating to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Inside of this safe was a transcript between nightclub owner Jack Ruby and suspected assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, the leather holster that held the gun Ruby used to kill Oswald and a movie contract signed by the then District Attorney Henry Wade.
This transcript however has not been seen by experts and is not verified as being legitimate yet. It describes Ruby and Oswald's conversation relating to the murder. It claims that the mafia was behind this assassination.
I dont think this is real because it seems to far-fetched to be reality. Most conspiracy theories are fake and buying into every ridiculous claim wont solve anything.

Close Calls
On Sunday Panthers RW Richard Zednik was in an extreme and dangerous collision. His throat was severely cut when a teammates skate slid across his neck. Lucikly he survived and recieved emergency surgery intime to save his life. He is now in stable condition and doctors predict he will not have any long term brain damage.
While an accident like this is extremely rare it does happen. Another accident was in 1989 involving Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk. His artery was cut in a collision but luckily he was able to get off the ice in time to save his life. Doctors for Malarchuk said that he was only seconds away from death and was lucky that he was on the side of the ice that had the exit to the doctors room. I think this is an unfortunate accident that should be reviewed to see if it can be avoided. It is also unfotunate that despite the fan base and popularity of the sport, the only time it gets into the news is when something like this happens.

C-ash Wednesday
Today, February 6, is ash Wednesday. We spend this day remembering the dead, our sins and the necessity of changing our lives. My day job is a deliveryman for a pizzeria so today is a big day for me. Since people cannot eat any meat today, they order from me. This means for me increased tips which is the majority of the money i make each day. I don't view this day as just a chance to make money but to view the flaws in our faith.
On any other day most catholics including myself don't adhere perfectly to the bible and we think we do. So we use holy days as a way to make themselves feel that they are following jesus and his preachings. While im not trying to say i am a perfect Christian i believe if your going to advertise your faith you should follow it at all times and not when its convenient.

Imperfect Ending
Sunday February 3rd, the stage is set for the top 2 teams of the league to square off in a battle for league supremacy. The 18-0 Patriots came in 12 point favorites, poised to finish off their perfect season. The Giants came in nick-named "Road Warriors" because of their 10 game road winning streak, a NFL record. This game was predicted as a high scoring shootout between the Legendary Tom Brady and the improbable hero Eli Manning. It turned out to be a defensive chess match that lasted for 3 quarters until the game exploded in the final minutes.
In my opinion this was by far the greatest Giants victory in their storied history. Upsetting the perfect Patriots is the greatest ending to a season i could imagine. The catch by David Tyree for 33 yards that set up the game winning touchdown was the most important play of the whole game. It turned the tide on the game for good.
