The girl I named my cat after, on the left. Notice the sign in the background.

The announcement? They're bringing in LaParka.

I thought KKK and Black Lushus has more than one kid. But congratulations on being thefirst non-black TSMer to reproduce mutiple times legitimately, CWM.

All right then. I see where you're coming from, but I know I'm done drinking heavily. Could there be something/someone else that causes me to do so in the future? Of course. But for now, I am drinking once a week. I'm just happy to note that I don't feel the need to drink alcohol just to drink. I personally don't have a problem with myself or others drinking more often. I just feel better now that I don't do that.

I don't know about No Way Out, but that SD match wasn't all that great. It was good, but probably 3 1/2 stars at best.

Scroby, all those hours playing Halo 2 are going to turn you into a cold blooded killer.

Again... If people understoof the circumstances surrounding my change, they wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. I didn't stop for the sake of not drinking. I stopped because the cause of my drinking was eliminated.

If I drank like I did up until recently, it'd slow my progress in the weightlifting department. I recently started a workout routine, and the endorphin rush I get from a good workout feels great. Nothinglike alcohol, obviously, but it's an even better stress reliever. I don't get off on it like wildpegasus, though. Sobriety is great when you can live a stress free, bitch free, enjoyable, lifestyle.

Fuck, Smackdown has some terrible luck. Now their best heel is out, right after they've senselessy killed his character (along with Raw's top heel, Edge). Fan fucking tastic.

It's settled, then. We must hit up Portillo's if we get to meet up again for WrestleMania in Chicago.

A HITTER.

Is that from Meltzer? No source was cited.

What the hell? In the first post you made it sound like your "Stressed out drinking days" were long behind you, when only last week you would have been content to get drunk everyday? You're not over it, you've just had a slow week. Normally, that observation would be accurate. However, due to my circumstances, it is not. Ihave made several positive changes recently. And it's not like I'm trying to resist temptation to drink. I just plain don't want to drink. I guess my prediction on this forum of 2006 being a year full of changes was spot on.

After not really drinking for a week, I had 3 tall cans of 211 last night. I'm not hung over as in feeling sick, but I feel groggy enough that I don't want to drink again for a while. A little over a week ago, I'd drink every night if possible. Now I'd rather not. I get a more enjoyable "buzz" from working out.

God dammit.

But I don't drink for stress, I drink for fun also, but it's everyday. So does that not make me an alcoholic? I'm confused If you drink every day, you're an alcoholic. The reasoning doesn't matter. I'm just saying that I drank to feel better, not because I had a physical dependency for alcohol, and now that I am mostly stress free, I hardly drink at all. If I still chose to drink every day for fun, I'd be an alcoholic. Not that I have a problem with functioning alcoholics.

What does that have to do with this post?

Double post.

"Bingo." EDIT: Why doesn't my fucking image show up? That's the whole point.

I was on the way to becoming one, but then I got rid of the thing that was causing me to drink. I realized that that thing was the problem, and that I needed alcohol to relieve stress rather than being dependent on the substance itself. Now I've gone from drinking almost every day for comfort to drinking once a week for fun.

I might know them by face but not by name. They've wrestled for CWA and some (other?) AWA affiliates. "Texas Lightning" Bobby Houston: "Mr. Elite" Jake Manning: And to the people who doubt my aspirations to train- I have done so, briefly, before. Once at my current size, the first time while at afat 178 pounds. I got hurt once, had to move the second time. This time, I have started a workout plan which will continue throughout my training. I'm a naturally bigger guy (as in mass, not height) with aslow metabolism, so I gain weight quickly.

I love my life mostof the time. And if my posting ruins people's lives, well... I don't even know. At least I'vemade an impact. I do not, however, see why thatone comment I made was sig worthy.

Thanks for sharing. That was all pretty cool to see, especially the WCW Nitro ring. I'm interested in anything training related, because I am moving back to Springfield, IL, and training with New Midwest Wrestling. I plan on starting right after WrestleMania, only because if I start before, I will be forced to attend their First Blood event the night before WM22 rather than RoH in Chicago. EDIT: Hey cawthon, have you seen either of the two former NMW wrestlers who now work for Highspots out there? Their names are "Mr. Elite" Jake Manning and "Texas Lightning" Bobby Houston.

The All-Star game was really fun to watch. I rarely have the attention span to watch a whole game, save for the odd Bulls game on WGN, I sat through this one and even played my own All-Star game on NBA 2K6 during halftime. However, I am confused about one thing. Apparently I am wrong, because 2K6 even had Houston, same court design and all, as the location, but wasn't the game originally supposed to be played in Vegas? Maybe that was just a rumour, or maybe they're playing there next year.

Relax. I am not racist, nor is it my intent to use the "n-word" in a derogatory manner. I just wanted to mention thatmy transsexual cousin convinced a British man that he was a woman (over a period of many months) and got him to take several pictures of himself, including one where he is naked, save for the fact that his genitals are covered by a guitar, and he is holding up a handwritten sign that reads (at the request of my cousin) "Destiny is a nigger in disguise." I don't know... It was really funny to me. I'll see if I can get the picture. I've seen the pic before, but this was a few months ago.
