3-2 OT win for Canada to win gold over USA.
I'm not a sore loser but you do tend to be bummed and irritated when your team, that had better stats going in, has their worst game when it matters most.
And no... Canada didn't deserve to win because the Olympics were in Vancouver.

More fun than I expected...
DU Hockey is pretty enjoyable. It's a lot cheaper, the venue is smaller, and it's pretty much the same game. Rapid line changes and automatic icing was annoying me, though.
I would go again. Magness isn't too far away from me.

9 seconds...
Anyone else see that killer goal by Kyle Cumiskey last night?
We went into OT tied and he scored the game winner 9 seconds into the period. Hell yeah!
I'm proudly wearing my Avalanche t-shirt today.

One reason Myspace still has a leg up on Facebook...
Myspace doesn't change their layout every month or two.
I swear, Facebook is really starting to annoy me with their redesigns. As soon as you get used to a new layout they change it on you again with no warning. This is bullshit.

John Kramer (aka, Jigsaw):
Mentor. John was framed by Mark via the Pendulum Trap for the murder of Seth Baxter, the man who killed Mark's sister Angelina. Shortly after the murder he captured Mark and tested him. He recruited the detective as an apprentice and used him to lure fellow detectives and members of law enforcement to other potential accomplices. John swallowed a cassette tape shortly before his death that was targeted for Mark. He included testing Mark again after his death as part of the scheme to create a way out for his ex-wife, Jill.

Honestly, this is where the connections start to blur for me and I can't guarantee that everything is correct. They just kind of threw Hoffman in there and built these connections with characters that already existed and had connections of their own.

Connections to John Kramer (aka, Jigsaw)
Being the nerd that I am I have decided to write out all the known connections between Saw characters. I tried to stay in chronological order the best I could, but there are no promises.
Let's start with John Kramer...
Jill Tuck:
Ex-wife. Ran the Homeward Bound clinic with John's slogan, "Cherish Your Life." Treated future Jigsaw victims Amanda, Cecil, Gus, Paul, Michael, Troy, and the unnamed man. The only known survivor who was a user of the clinic was Amanda who inadvertently caused the loss of Gideon Kramer, John and Jill's unborn son. Jill was under heavy scrutiny by Agent Peter Strahm when the FBI got involved with the Jigsaw murders, but he never uncovered evidence to keep her under investigation. Jill knew about John's work but lacks the desire to continue it on a permanent basis. She was left a box negotiated through John's last will and testament and was determined to carry out his final wish.
Gideon Kramer:
John and Jill's deceased, unborn child.
Det. Mark Hoffman:
Police detective who has been involved in every Jigsaw case. Framed John via the Pendulum Trap for the murder of Seth Baxter, the man who killed Mark's sister Angelina. Shortly after he was captured by John and tested. After intriguing him, Mark was recruited as an apprentice and continued to do so until after John's death. He was warned by John of another test through a hidden tape cassette and was placed in the Reverse Bear Trap 2.0 after attempting to walk away untested and scot free.
Amanda Young:
Ex-con and heroin addict. A regular at Jill's drug clinic, Amanda inadvertently caused the death of Gideon Kramer by forcing Cecil to break in and rob Jill. She was later captured and tested via the Reverse Bear Trap and was the only known Jigsaw survivor up to that time. By surviving the test she was successfully "reborn" in John's eyes. She was later recruited as a second apprentice and tested again after her traps appeared to be unwinnable. The final game resulted in her death after being shot in the neck by Jeff Reinhart.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
Oncologist and surgeon. Served as John's doctor while undergoing cancer diagnosis and treatments. Was captured and placed in the Bathroom Trap while a secondary game with his family was being held. After gaining knowledge of the secondary game he chose to saw through his foot to escape. Dr. Gordon's whereabouts are still unknown.
Adam Faulkner:
Undercover photographer. Served as a victim in the Bathroom Trap and was Dr. Gordon's target to win. He was left chained in the bathroom by John and was later suffocated to death by Amanda. No further connection to John is known.
Zep Hindle:
Orderly. Was a frequent orderly for John while he underwent cancer treatments. Was the main subject of the secondary game played during the Bathroom. His aim in the game was to kill Dr. Gordon's wife and daughter if he failed. He monitored the Bathroom Trap and was ultimately killed by Adam. Any further connection to John is unknown.

She was the officer who located Dr. Gordon's penlight, which John had Hoffman plant, at the scene of Mark's death. She convinced Det. Eric Matthews to assist her in investigating John and tried to help him stay in his game and not lose his temper after finding out John had abducted his son, Daniel. When Eric failed and was led away from the lair she located Daniel kept in the safe being administered oxygen. She was the officer who first found the inconsistencies in Troy's chain trap and was soon after captured and placed in the Angel Trap. She was killed in the trap.

Police detective who is known for his fearlessness and intimidation. He is also known to have framed suspects by planting evidence to obtain false convictions. Was led to John via the Venus Fly Trap and discovered that he had abducted his son, Daniel, and placed him in a game. John gave Eric a game proposal directly after his discovery to sit and listen to him until the time clock ran out. Eric allowed his temper to take over him and failed his test. After being brutally assaulted, John led Eric to the house Daniel was kept in. While frantically searching for his son he was knocked out and chained to the Bathroom by Amanda, one of the suspects he framed and sent to prison. He escaped, was captured again, held captive for 6 months, and ultimately killed by Sgt. Rigg after he failed his final test.

She was killed by the Shotgun Collar when John's life ended.
Jeff Reinhart:
Lynn Denlon's husband. Placed in a game through the Gideon Meatpacking building. Was faced with those involved in the death of his son, Dylan.

He was led to the Gideon building and warned not to proceed after finding the dead bodies of John, Amanda, Lynn, and Jeff. He chose to proceed and was captured and placed in the Water Cube. He survived by giving himself a tracheotomy with an ink pen. He began to investigate and suspect Mark Hoffman, even after being taken off the case. He was framed as the second Jigsaw apprentice the police had been searching for by Mark Hoffman and led to the crushing room where he was killed. Peter was framed to give immunity to Jill.

That's all I have for John and yes, it took a long time to write. I don't think I made any mistakes and if I did, don't base them on speculation. I based everything on what we know for sure as of right now.
I'm currently working on a connection list to Amanda and plan on starting one for Det. Hoffman, Jill, and Det. Matthews.
Stay tuned, I guess.
Let's start with John Kramer...

He escaped, was captured again, held captive for 6 months, and ultimately killed by Sgt. Rigg after he failed his final test.

He was led to the Gideon building and warned not to proceed after finding the dead bodies of John, Amanda, Lynn, and Jeff. He chose to proceed and was captured and placed in the Water Cube. He survived by giving himself a tracheotomy with an ink pen. He began to investigate and suspect Mark Hoffman, even after being taken off the case. He was framed as the second Jigsaw apprentice the police had been searching for by Mark Hoffman and led to the crushing room where he was killed. Peter was framed to give immunity to Jill.

Ex-con and murderer. He was sent to prison for the murder of Det. Hoffman's sister, Angelina. He was placed in the Pendulum Trap, and unwinnable trap, shortly after being released from prison on a technicality. It was observed and made clear by John that it was not one of his own traps. Seth is the only known victim killed by a Jigsaw trap that wasn't originally thought of or approved by John. Seth was "tested" by Det. Hoffman and maliciously killed.

*sigh*
That's all I have for John and yes, it took a long time to write. I don't think I made any mistakes and if I did, don't base them on speculation. I based everything on what we know for sure as of right now.
I'm currently working on a connection list to Amanda and plan on starting one for Det. Hoffman, Jill, and Det. Matthews.
Stay tuned, I guess.

Grammy time...
For the first time in like 3 or 4 years, if not longer, I watched most of the Grammy Awards. The show has changed a lot since I watched it last. It's more focused on performances than awards now. Most of the awards are announced ahead of time so you're forced to just look at the final list to see all of the winners. Lame.
As far as the performances that I saw, there were good ones and bad ones.
The best:
Pink
Black Eyed Peas
Lady GaGa and Elton John
The worst:
Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks (by far the worst, holy shit)
Beyonce
Zac Brown Band (booooooring)
The Michael Jackson tribute wasn't too bad. The fact that it was discolored and fuzzy as hell for those without 3D glasses was pretty retarded, in my opinion. Celine Dion still has it, Usher was oversinging and out of key, Carrie Underwood killed it, Smokey Robinson did what he does, and Jennifer Hudson oversang it. Then again, she oversings everything. I will admit that seeing Beyonce jamming out in her 3D glasses made me laugh.
The thing that shocked me the most was seeing Jackson's kids, Prince and Paris, without masks. We saw them at the televised funeral without them but it's still shocking. They seem well mannered, well spoken, and educated. No doubt the stumbling was nerves. They're just kids, after all.
And it has to be said... What in the hell was Taylor Swift doing? That girl was so flat and out of key it wasn't even satisfying to make fun of. I wanted to hit the mute button so many times. Stevie Nicks still sounds like a goat and didn't compliment Taylor at all. That combination was a huge mistake. I'm no Taylor Swift fan but her performance on the VMAs was a lot better. This performance was embarrassing.
Beyonce was overhyped yet again. Her short cover of Alanis Morissette made me angry. She didn't even do a good job. Stick to being Sasha Fierce, honey.
Pink was amazing, as always. She always finds a way to take it to the next level and it always works.
The Black Eyed Peas did a good job, too. They are still weird and their dancers looked like Bib Fortuna from Star Wars, or as my dad put it "the dancing red vaginas." The dancing stereos were fun, though. As a result I have resorted to singing "I Gotta Feeling" yet again.
Lady GaGa should have picked a different song, but it still worked. She and Elton John complimented each other via sparkles and piano. I enjoyed it. I don't really get why "Pokerface" was her big nomination. I think it's one of her weaker songs. I would have gone with "Paparazzi."
I stopped watching after Jay-Z and Rihanna accepted their award, so I missed the Eminem performance and all that. I got bored. Plain and simple.
