After 20 seasons in the NHL, Avs captain Joe Sakic has decided to retire. Not only did he display an amazing amount of talent, perseverance and leadership, but he was one of the classiest players to ever play the game. I can still remember when we won the Stanley Cup back in 2001 and the first thing he did was hand the cup off to Ray Bourque. One thing I admired about his play was he never needed to do anything fancy or flashy; he would rely on a good eye, fast wrist shot, and great positioning, ultimately ending up with 625 goals, 1,016 assists, and 1,641 points. With the retirement of Joe Sakic, the Avs are left without a true captain, something we've relied upon in all his years here as well as in Quebec. Thank you Super Joe, it has been a real honor to watch you play.

Basically for my writing and rhetoric class we have to do a research paper; the topic I chose was violent video games in relation to increased aggression. My focusing question surrounding the paper is, Do violent video games lead to increased aggression? I found that there are arguments for and against it. It would be great to here some feedback from some users; your point of view, anything you feel on the subject. I won't put you in my paper without your permission.

ATTENTION: If you don't like FOB, please don't bother posting in this blog, I don't expected everyone to enjoy them, but don't bash them here.

I picked up Fall Out Boy's new album Folie à Deux yesterday at Target. The album is totally awesome, I already like it better than Infinity On High, which was a disappointment to me. Honestly it feels like FOB went back to its From Under The Cork Tree roots. I have only listened to it once, but I can already say, I don't hate any songs on the album, it all just sounds amazing. This cd will be on repeat for the next couple of weeks, well this and some punk goes christmas songs. Anyway, I recommend this album to anyone, especially FOB fans, you won't be disappointed.
