Alex Burrows was the man of Game 7. After having a penalty shot in the playoffs--a rare and suspenseful occasion-- and two goals, he became a father the next day. The Canucks's momentum continued to tonight's game in which they shutout the Nashville Predators. Let's hope this momentum continues to the end.

History Will Be Made
http://video.canucks.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=-6&id=111644
They did it! Overtime in Game 7 is possibly one of the most intense descriptions one could write, engendering the most tension. However, Alex Burrows was the man of the night. Two goals and a penalty shot, Burrows kept the Canucks in the series. Sheer ecstasy.

Anxiety Attack
http://www.vancouversun.com/health/Canucks+coach+Vigneault+declares+Luongo+start+Game+insists+kidding/4672411/story.html
It all comes down to this. Game 7. After giving up a three game lead, the Vancouver Canucks better not disappoint any further. My body trembles at the thought of a loss and if the Canucks do lose tonight, well then I will be extremely depressed the entire day tomorrow. Don't talk to me if they lose. Anyone. Good luck, Canucks.

Here is Obama's birth certificate. Next, they are going to try to get Hawaii to secede.

The Slow Decay of Political Issues...
Something I have noticed is that new political issues are only fugacious for the time they arise and resurface. Immigration is an issue, but it was only during this summer--when SB 1070 was introduced-- that it ignited the political fervor of the nation. The media fails to keep the masses updated with such news. I still do not know what happened to Wisconsin.

To Make Things Worse...
http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-nhl-20110420,0,77781.story
After a stressful day of laboring for AP Literature, I watch the Vancouver Canucks v. Chicago Blackhawks game. It is game four and the Canucks have been leading the series 3-0, one more win and the Blackhawks are eliminated. However, it seems the Canucks have gotten too confident because they were playing the body much more than the puck. Players were playing at an unsatisfactory level when the Blackhawks were excelling. This reminded me of the times when my team would do the same thing. We were too used to winning that when we started losing, we were too upset and started building tension. This tension would explode as we played an intense level of physical contact. I understand the Canucks, but remorsefully hope that they can rectify their errors before the next game and throughout the playoffs.

The Moral Code in Religion
http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2011/04/16/how-easter-killed-my-faith-in-atheism/?mod=google_news_blog
The time has come again when an Atheist asshole like me reads another story about how someone fell back into their faith and reflects on his own firm beliefs. Lee Strobel wrote about being an Atheist while his Agnostic wife converted to Christianity and his quest to find the truth after finding his wife's positive changes in character. He found historic evidence to warrant Christian stories. However, I fail to see the connection between these fiction stories and positive changes in character. I do respect the moral value of religion --sometimes-- but there is an underlying supercilious attachment to Christian faith that nullifies my overall respect towards Christianity. One does not need a religion to have a moral code. I do completely respect, however, the religions such as Buddhism in which no fictional story is needed and everyone loves everyone. Zen be with you all.

Dennis Prager's Ideal Public School
http://www.dennisprager.com/columns.aspx?g=07f08515-be95-4197-955e-327f6a0b98f8
It seems Prager's motives were appropriate but his means were a little misguided. The ethnic groups that he deems as divisive are in reality, unifying. Said groups are not exclusive and provide a cultural center. Anyone can join the clubs and learn more about another ethnicity. It is when people use these clubs exclusively that they become divisive. Also, his formal dress code seems to have an effect only on the appearance of the school. It is more of a pretentious rule rather than an academic one. Without knowledge of basic safety such as what is taught in health class, society will become more risky. We must learn to think for ourselves and be presented with both sides of anything. Prager has a good idea but could work on his method.

Vancouver Canucks, First in the Season
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/canucks-enter-playoffs-confident-in-shored-up-defence/article1981332/
Being from Vancouver, B.C, I cannot express how proud I am of the Vancouver Canucks. I took for granted the pride of being from where I am and when I moved to the states, I found I missed my hometown more and more everyday. Seeing my team win first in the season flared the surge of pride in me and bolstered my confidence in my team. Go Canucks, let's win the Stanley Cup this year!

Arizona Allows Guns on Campus?
Schwartz, David. "Arizona House Passes Law Allowing Guns on Campuses." Reuters. 7 April 2011. Web.
Republicans in Arizona allow the possession of unconcealed guns on campuses for people to "defend yourself against that aggressor." There is missing logic here. Who would attack someone knowing they may have a weapon? The only attack then, would be with another firearm. This not only promotes a civil arms race, but facilitates murder. Come on, Arizona. Think!

"That was too cute!"
I asked Arevik, my Lakers-crazed fan girlfriend, to prom today. In light of what I did for the Midwinter, I felt I had to do something big. So I dressed my friend up in a UPS uniform...
...And put this inside the box...
...and delivered it to her in class. I'm awesome.
