2/8: Keeping Gayness To Yourself Is The Right Thing To Do

9:30 p.m.   • For those that don’t know who Myron Cope is, he was a longtime broadcaster for the Steelers until he retired a year or so ago. If you ever heard this annoying, grating voice on Steelers highlights from some “local voices” segment on ESPN or some other national sports media, chances are that was Myron. He was one of those guys you either adored or hated. I, of course, was indifferent. That was until he got into Mario Lemieux’s business by writing an editorial a few days ago telli

Selling part of my life away today

As the title states, I sold part of my life today. I've been an avid comic book collector since about the age of 5. I'm faced with hard and pressing times concerning money right now, and I had to find a way to get money very quickly.   It sucks, but I'm a grown man, and I have to make sacrifices to make end's meat. And since I don't have steady employment, selling things is a short term fix while I locate employment.   Just in case you're wondering, here's what I sold:   Incredible Hul

2/8 - There Are No Heroes In Wrestling

WHEN YOU WANT TO GAMBLE, THE MAIN THING YOU MUST DO IS THIS: YOU MUST ACCEPT LOSING. I haven't watched wrestling for years and I hardly ever frequent the wrestling folders here, but I did somehow meander into a link in the General Wrestling folder that detailed that Jake Roberts, once again, arrived at a card loaded and unable to perform. It is, of course, no news at all that Roberts (a favorite of mine, back when I had an interest in the business) is a cracked shell of humanity. What is

Relationships

I'm very content with my relationship right now. As of February 2nd, 2007, I've been with my girlfriend for eight months. If you count the time we were hanging out, it's closer to eight and a half months. Yeah, not exactly the longest time to be with someone, but it's the longest relationship I've ever been in.   From the start, I knew she was different than the rest. I've been with my share of women, and none of them ever made me feel actually happy, except for her. She is everything I have

Winter's Freeze

It was just past one but there was an ominous breeze filtering through the white skies on Tuesday. I sat in class and every single pair of eyes looked away watching the snow start to pick up. We knew it was coming but the anticipation was building, a buzz of whispers shooting through the air with the keypad blips of txt messaging and the gentle tapping on lap tops. All focus on class had expired once the snow finally collapsed down from the tight grips of the clouds and slammed onto the waitin

2/7: Going Hard To The Hoop

5:45 p.m.   Some queer who used to play in the NBA has now admitted as such. OMG LET'S GIVE HIM A MEDAL~!!!     I bet he liked to drive HARD TO THE HOLE!!! I wonder who he POSTED UP!?!? Was he always out in front, or did he like to COME FROM BEHIND??? When he dunked, I bet he did a JOB on the RIM!!! Acutally, these retarded jokes would work for a guy who likes women, but you see ... he's GAY!!! Where was I going with this? I have no clue. Oh, yeah. He's gay. Big deal. And this interv

2/7 - Get the heck out of here you nerd!

VIDEO GAMES, SELECTED AT RANDOM   Bionic Commando (NES - 1988)   Sometimes, the art in a game's design can be found in its limitations.   If there was a "golden age" of video games, it probably resided in the late 80's, when the wildly successful arcade industry intersected with the Nintendo Entertainment System and its resurrection of console gaming. At the crossroads was Super Mario Bros, providing a synergy of action and platforming elements that introduced a whole new generation

BAW Show 2/Portland Trip

Ok, since ECW is on and I'm just sitting here and watching it, I have some time to post about me working the most recent BAW show.   I flew out of Sacramento, really really early Friday (1/26) morning. Before my flight, I saw this big Samoan guy who looked really familar. He was on my flight, I couldn't put my finger on it, but he looked really really familar. Anyways, I let it go and we flew out of California a little before 6:30 in the morning. I got into Portland a little after 8 and Portl

Bryan Danielson vs. KENTA 12/2/2006: Review

This is my first review / play-by-play.       "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson vs. KENTA 12/2/06 NOAH - Yokohoma Bunka Gymnasium - 3,800 Fans   Handshake of respect is given. Danielson works over the arm for the beginning of the match, a very lengthy feel out process. Danielson is so good at tearing down body parts, rendering them completely useless. Kenta tries to do some of his own arm work, but Danielson will have none of it using a back bridge and then a dropkick to get Kenta off o

South Cal vs North Cal

Ok, so I know I'm really lacking on my blog updates. I still owe you a BAW and CCW blog along with a training update. I'm lacking, I'm sorry, I'll get them up soon, I promise but right now I want to discuss how I recently found out how workers from South California hate North California workers and vicea versa.   The night I was in Oregon working the BAW show, another promotion here in CA was running. This promotion is called GZW. To be honest, I don't like the promoter of GZW, dude was very

2/6 - Bill Belichick is Japan's Post-Modern Headache

AFRICA, MEXICO, SICILY, TIJUANA, INDIA, OSAKA, INDONESIA   Finding myself in between albums at the moment, I threw Cowboy Bebop: Blue into the mp3 player and spun through it on a particularly chilly commute into work today. My college roommate might have summed up Cowboy Bebop best when he said that "it's an anime that doesn't realize it's an anime." By integrating open-handed homage to Japanese detective stories with science fiction and excessive spaghetti western pastiche, Cowboy Bebop is

2/6: Big Budget Flops

8:30 p.m.   • You know, I was going to bitch about Fast Eddie and his additional tax ideas, but why bother when I have other reasons to bitch about government spending -- like 2,900,000,000,000 reasons.   I don't know what's sicker. The fact this is the number being proposed or that it's not going to be enough. Party of small government my ass.  • This caught my eye.     I know nothing about NASCAR, other than it makes a shitload of money. But you know what? If you're a NASCAR

80's Tournament: A.L. West Region

The A.L. West features three World Champions, two of them on paper being the two weakest World Series winners in that decade. The Royals lead the way with five teams as some may forget at one time they weren't a complete joke. The White Sox, Rangers, and Mariners have just one team a piece, Mariners being the only franchise in the 80's who failed to have a winning record with their '87 team leading the way with 78 wins. Can they shock the world and upset the '89 A's in the 1st Round?   #1 1

2/5: A Post-Super Bowl Ad-On

7:45 p.m.   • Of course, I haven’t talked about the most important thing regarding this year’s Super Bowl: How were the ads? Not good, I’m afraid. Below are my opinions regarding this year's batch.   “Reception” by Bud. Whatever.   “Class Mencia” by Bud. I knew where this was going five seconds into this ad, and I like Carlos Mencia so I’m probably a bit biased with this one. One of my preferred ads, but that’s not saying much with this year's crop.   “Live the Flavor” by Doritos. Wa

WWE 24/7 Thoughts

Since I recently subscribed to WWE 24/7, I thought this would be good to write up. For those of you who have accessibility, I highly recommend it. A full compliment of wrestling programming, some changing over from week to week. Old house shows, Pay-per-views, television programs, etc. I honestly do not have enough time to watch it all.   A short forward. I do not pay much attention to psychology, workrate, etc. I tend to take a historian's viewpoint of wrestling. I will note bad wrest

Post Super Bowl Extravagenza, or Prince Kicks Ass

-Well, the Super Bowl was on last night, and the Colts won. The game itself was lackluster, IMO. The highlight of course, was Motherfucking Prince. After a series of shitty halftime shows, his Majesty shows the Stones and McCarthy how it's done. The second he dropped the mic and played guitar, I marked out bigtime.   The commercials were largely dissapointing, for the most part. The Futuristic Coke commercial was ass, and the commecial with Federline was suprisingly amusing, but still lame. T

2/5 - Schadenfreude, Master of Reality, and A Viking Funeral

WOW, THE BEARS ARE REALLY CRAPPY AFTER ALL, AREN'T THEY   That "Super Bowl" show last night was a real hoot, wasn't it? The Indianapolis Colts win in a sloppy, waterlogged affair that really wasn't as close as the score (29-17) would indicate. Though I wouldn't stretch to call it a boring game, it was certainly one of the more poorly played Super Bowls in recent memory, as both teams combined for five fumbles in the first half, including two instances of the recovering team following up a fum

When asked in the post-game segment about him being THE FIRST BLACK HEAD COACH TO WIN A SUPER BOWL, he said that was significant, but it was more significant that he and Lovie Smith were CHRISTIAN coaches. The New York Slimes is going to hate printing that.   10 p.m.   • The MVP award will probably g

80's Tournament: N.L. East 1st Round

When you run simulations like this there will be bizarre results but I wasn't anticipating the '86 Mets getting bounced by the '88 Pirates but it happened and in only five games. Strat-O-Matic hates the Mets apparently as of their five teams only the '88 team survived. The '80 Phillies were also bounced as the '80 Expos got "revenge" for losing out by a game for the division title in 1980.   (16) 1988 Pittsburgh Pirates def.

2/3: NFL HOF, Standing Selections

10:45 p.m.   • The NFL announced this year's Hall of Fame class. Here are the finalists. The ones in bold were selected. Next to each one I'll give my insta-reaction as to how I would have voted for them. I will limit my selection to just five players.   Fred Dean: Who? Richard Dent: Sure. Russ Grimm: Tough one for me. My first thought was "not quite." Maybe if his coaching career continues to excel, then I'll say yeah. Ray Guy: Yes. I know punters and field goal kickers are taboo in

2/2: Super Bowl Party Poopers

Jesus Christ. No Fun League indeed.     • For some reason the quote in bold below cracks me up. And for the one that wasn’t convicted of a HATE CRIME, was this person filled with apathy instead?     • From an interview with Bill Ga

tiny update

I'm going to post a blog or blogs about the BAW and CCW shows soon. I actually did a blog about BAW a few days ago but due to a site error, I wasn't able to post it and when I hit the back button to try and post it again, everything I typed out was gone. I should have some time tomorrow, so I will try and get up a blog about the BAW show tomorrow and maybe CCW on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. So yeah they are coming, I've just been busy to type them out...again but they are coming along
