Yep, laid off because of "corporate cutbacks". Is this one of those things I can blame on George W? Fuck it, I am just going to file for unemployment and sit on my ass. Discuss my latest misfortune.

My fault, I put this in the wrong thread before. Besides raising the bar for video games with some of the most innovative and expansive gameplay ever, the developers of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" have pulled off another feat that many thought to be impossible: They nailed down W. Axl Rose. The famously reclusive Guns N' Roses frontman's voice can be heard as a DJ on one of eight in-game radio stations players can listen to while cruising the streets of the fictional state of San Andreas in the highly anticipated game, which became available Monday night. Rose adopts the persona of Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith, of the classic rock station KDST The Dust, who spins an array of tunes such as Foghat's "Slow Ride," Humble Pie's "Get Down to It," Grand Funk Railroad's "Some Kind of Wonderful" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird." Public Enemy's Chuck D can also be heard in the game, as radio DJ Forth Right MC, host of the classic hip-hop station Playback FM. Other celebrity DJs include Parliament/Funkadelic's George Clinton (as the Funktipus), dancehall stars Sly and Robbie, and comedian Andy Dick on the talk-radio station. Rose's appearance in San Andreas, set in the gang-riddled West Coast of the early 1990s, marks the first time in over a year since a studio recording of his voice was heard by the public, although the New York Mets' Mike Piazza leaking a new GN'R tune on a syndicated radio show wasn't an "official release". Prior to that, Rose came out of years of seclusion with a new incarnation of Guns N' Roses to perform at the 2002 VMAs. Guns N' Roses launched an ill-fated tour soon after, but it was scrapped amid controversy after only a few dates. The in-game soundtrack will be released November 23 as both a double album and an eight-disc box set that features all of the more than 150 tunes heard in the game. Rapper Game also shows up as the character Mark "B Dup" Wayne and as a caller to one of the radio stations. Samuel L. Jackson takes on a starring role as officer Frank Tenpenny, a corrupt cop in Los Santos, one of the three cities in the state of San Andreas. Actor Chris Penn plays his partner, officer Eddie Pulanski. James Woods, Peter Fonda, Ice-T, David Cross, Bijou Phillips and Charlie Murphy of "Chappelle's Show" fame are also featured. With a script partially informed by D.J. Pooh, co-writer of the 1995 film "Friday," "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" centers on the character Carl "CJ" Johnson, played by aspiring rapper Young Maylay. After his mother is murdered, CJ returns to his old neighborhood and is soon framed for murder by a couple of cops. As CJ, players must perform a variety of missions for the blackmailing cops that often run afoul of the law. —Joe D'Angelo

What bothers me is the fact that Slash, Duff and Weilland have all done much better work in the past, but they treat this piece of crap like the centerpiece of their below average album.

Watching myself get out of the shower.

Note to self: Anyone who has ever had sex is a piece of garbage.

They'll never understand And they'll never hear Jimi.

"Almost all current music is worthless. Very simply, is has no soul. It is fraudulent, and so are the mechanisms which perpetuate the lie that anybody else finds it vital enough to do more the consume and file, or 'collect' (be the first person on your block). New Wave has terminated in thudding hollow Xeroxes of poses that aren't even annoying anymore. Rap is nothing, or not enough. Jazz does not exist as a musical form with anything new to say. And the rest of rock is recycling various formulae forever. I don't know what I am going to write about-music is the only thing in the world I really care about-but I simply cannot pretend to find anything compelling in the choice between pap and mud."---Lester Bangs

I don't think that was much of a swerve. If you're on this board, and you didn't see it coming a mile away, you might as well give up now. That being said, yes, this character makes her hotter.

You say that like people go to wrestling shows, and yell at wrestlers because they WANT to get in fights with them. I yell at some of the guys all the time when I am at 3PW, and they recognize that is approval of the job they are doing as the heel. Or at least I hope they do.

No, and fuck you for trying to introduce a racial element when there was none mentioned. The world doesn't need this shit. What world though? No one is going to hear about this or read his comments except about maybe 500 people.

2Pac: Resurrection 6.0/10.0

Yeah, once I find my results, I will post some.

Just so you're aware, in real life, "Lefty" didn't get sent for, I think he just went to jail. You can Google "Joe Pistone" or "Donnie Brasco" to be sure though. It's definitely a great flick, especially how Depp's character changes and becomes more like the Mob he is infiltrating. Also, Pacino's performance as Lefty...........just one of my favorite characters of all time. Michael Madsen is great as usual too.

I could've started a new job today through a different temp agency, but sweet irony reared it's ugly head. Like I said earlier, I got laid off Friday and also laid, right? Well, the girl I went to see Friday up at her dorm, she was staying in because she was sick. So, I guess going into that germ farm wasn't the best plan. Drinking a 6 pack, smoking a blunt with her, and exchanging bodily fluids was probably bad as well for the ol' immune system. Anyway, I get the call for a job I could start first thing this morning, and I have to tell them what? Yep, that I am as sick as a fucking dog. I think it's bronchitis.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 12, 2004--There have been numerous reports over the last few weeks from various sources claiming that one person or another has been invited to join Guns N' Roses. To set the record straight no one - we repeat no one - has been invited to join the band. We would normally not respond to rumours but it is wrong to allow a few self publicists the platform to mislead the media and Guns N' Roses fans. We will let you know when there is credible news on this subject.

"Estranged" by Guns N Roses is pretty sad I guess, especially when you consider how badly Axl lost it.

They must give out those awards pretty often.

You'd better get a refund.

There you go again. On my own?

I used a big orange crate as a cage. It had the big rungs like the blue cage used in WWF during Hogan's run.

My dream woman is an insane drama queen. That way I will never be let down, because there is no shortage of them.

I prefer to come dirty.

That was in Philly, right? I was there for that, and didn't think it was bad at all. Matches weren't anything special, but I remember liking the post-taping ME (Austin vs Rock vs Mankind vs Taker, I believe) a lot...and the post match bit with Austin giving Rock the Stunner over and over was funny as hell. Not a bad show at all...but then again, I liked KOTR 95 (which I also attended), so what do I know. Yeah to be honest I don't remember much of it, I just remember it being sorta disappointing. Probably cause I had started going to see ECW live around that time, and a Heat taping just wasn't going to measure up.

Using masking tape as a mask was always a good way to freshen up a character. I taped up Jim Duggan's face and called him "Rock". This was in the early 90s btw. He was in the 4 Horsemen. My Horsemen, as I recall, were Arn Anderson, Lex Luger, Brian Pillman and Rock.
