Anyone who has read my diary for a while will know that Mario Lemieux is my idol of idols. Well, I finally was able to come across kickass Leafs vs. Penguins tickets (and paid through the nose for them, I might add), but guess who got injured in his last game? Yep. Mario. Why is life so cruel sometimes? WHY?!

This was probably one of my only legitimate chances of seeing him play before he retires. And as stupid as it may sound to some of you, it totally breaks my heart knowing that he won't be playing. It's kinda like that time in grade 3 when Corey Hart was supposed to be playing a concert in my hometown and my mom got me tickets, but then he canceled because he was sick or something. I cried and cried. Well, except I haven't quite cried yet this time. Whimpered quite a bit, but no official tears. Yet.

To put things into perspective for you about how much I wanted to see him play tomorrow night...this would've been bigger than when I met Bono in Dublin. I absolutely kid you not. AND. I, a grown woman, have a Lemieux bobblehead displayed (completely out of place) in my living room. I do not have a Bono bobblehead -- but if you know where I can get one, my address is...kidding.

Please, let us all have a moment of silence. Or at least a moment of pity for me. Thanks.
