| Chris Benoit Tragedy |

According to lead investigator Lt. Tommy Pope, of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department, in Fayetteville, Ga., the deaths of WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, wife Nancy and son Daniel were the result of a double murder-suicide, WWE.com has learned.
Benoit failed to appear both at Saturday’s live event in Beaumont, Texas, and WWE’s Vengeance: Night of Champions in Houston Sunday night, after informing WWE of a family emergency. Several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning prompted concerned friends to alert Richard Hering, VP of Government Relations for WWE, Inc. Hering, in turn, spoke with Fayette County sheriffs Monday, and requested they respond to the Benoit residence to check on him and his family.
Authorities representing the Sheriff’s Department initially had a difficult time entering Benoit’s new Fayetteville home Monday afternoon, which had been guarded by two large German Shepherds roaming freely around the property. Once authorities entered the residence, they quickly located the bodies of Benoit, Nancy and Daniel. WWE was notified of the discovery at approximately 4 p.m.
At 10 p.m. Monday night, Lt. Pope held a press conference in conjunction with Scott Ballard, the district attorney for Fayette County. The press conference officially ruled authorities’ findings as a double murder-suicide from within the home.
WAGA, a FOX-owned and operated television station in Atlanta, reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son over the weekend, then himself on Monday.
The three bodies have been received by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab, in Decatur, Ga., where autopsies will be performed Tuesday morning. Toxicology reports will not become available for at least two weeks.
I can't express how I feel about this just yet. Just that, Benoit was one of my all-time favorite performers, and when meeting, really felt like he was a total class act. I can't help but to wish that there was some other explanation for this. |

Hey Friends.
Come check this out. As Many of you know, for the past year now I've been playing bass in As the Phoenix Rises. Well, we added a singer a few months ago and yesterday we were able to get into the studio and record some tracks with him. Come Check out the MySpace page and give these a listen.

cannonball
there’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
there’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
it’s still a little hard to say what's going on
there’s still a little bit of your ghost your weakness
there’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
you step a little closer each day
that i can’t say what's going on
stones taught me to fly
love taught me to lie
life, it taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannonball
there’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
there’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
you step a little closer to me
so close that i can't see what's going on
stones taught me to fly
love, it taught me to lie
life taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannon..
stones taught me to fly
and love taught me to cry
so come on courage
teach me to be shy
cause it's not hard to fall
and i don't wanna scare her
it's not hard to fall
and i don't wanna lose
it's not hard to grow
when you know that you just don't know |

HUZAAHHHHH
After my relationship with Brandy ending, I've taken solace in my friends, spending as much time as possible with Patrick and my cousin particularly. I enjoy life so much right now.
Christmas Party for work tonight, playing a few covers, drinking with close friends, flirting with the cute girls in the office, all of this is good times.
I don't really know what to do this weekend, which means more than likely something silly will happen, cant wait.
January 4th, Red7, new singer unveils himself. |

nobody reads this, but it works better than myspace blog
we got a new singer, this dude named Bob from Boston. He is EXACTLY what we've wanted to do with out sound, he is taking it to the next level. I cannot wait to get a recording with him on vocals for our songs, people are going to shit themselves.
AtPR, taking over 2007 |
