11. Bigger Then My Body
12. Half of My Heart

His Twitter from last night:
"MSG crowd, will you tweet me when you get home safe? It's bad out. Oh, and HOLY SHNIKES. You were unreal tonight."

I ride for Kevin

Well maybe I dont because who cares about the two times I have gone this year, but most American professional snowboarders do.  In any case, Kevin Pearce is (or was) an incredible snowboarder.  If Shaun White is number 1 then Kevin(KP) is number 2.  I am posting this because I just found an NBC Kevin Pearce Tribute which I had to post.  Check out his X Games performance where he narrowly lost to Shaun White...clearly he should have gone for that last hit. Or his Burton European Open run.

Snowboarding takes out American Idol

According to NBC, Snowboarding beats American Idol in ratings...love it: http://www.thrfeed.com/2010/02/reversal-olympics-tops-idol-for-wednesday-gold.html   Here is the thing though, they state that: "An estimated 29.4 million viewers tuned in as U.S. stars Lindsey Vonn, Shani Davis and Shaun White won Olympic gold." Which is great but Shaun White didn't win until almost 11pm. In any case, winter sports beating out the next American Idol is a big win in my book.

Also, Torah Bright won the gold-no surprise there, but Hannah with the silver? I did not see that coming. Out of the big 4: Torah, Gretchin, Kelly, and Hannah, I do not think anyone had their best runs. I have seen much better runs at the X-Games, but alas, it was a good night. Poor Gretchin, who fell both runs.  And a final Thanks so Sara and her blog for the shout out.

Back to back Gold

What a beautiful performance. And to quote Sara Saidlower, "I love how he(Shaun White) got 48 out of 50 on a throwaway run"

Check out the Shaun's Gold medal run here

George B. McClellan

After seeing a great documentary last night I learned that George B. McClellan single handily prolonged the Civil War  several times.  After doing a little research, it turns out he was a NJ governor, how classic is that? At least now we know where the tradition started. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_B._McClellan
