However, NHL 08 is pretty sweet. The graphics are phenominal and thanks to 'classic controller' I can play it and not want to shoot myself.
Had some folks over last night for no particular reason, they had quite the time playing with the kids old wrestlers. (Video to come hopefully.)
It annoys me that all these cool gadgets we have that are supposed to be so amazing, and none of them work. Our wireless internet is really cool, but very unreliable and is hurting my torrent business (not that I condone anything illegal like uploading torrents...)
Anyway.... Jays are tied with Baltimore in the top of the 11th, may go to Dustins to watch the ppv tonight but I am so out of the loop not sure if I'll get anything out of it.
-Remind me not to burn more then 2 episodes on one dvd.
-Fiyaaaah!! Holy fuck, only Artie can do that.....
-"Sorry Boogey..." Fuck this guy blows.
-Seriously, fucking cut this guys Mic time......
-Nice BWO sign for Stevie.
-You had a good run Stevie, see ya later.
-"This is some tasty Cantaloupe." Fucking gold.
-Balls loses the match but gets the girl....
-Punk wins another shot with the GTS.
-Balls and Vince should have their own show.
-Joey tells the "Balls punched a referee" story every fucking week....
-Balls gets the win over Burke in a decent match.
-Mic time for Thorn? Not much but it was there.
-Punk and Vince's small tete et tete was interesting.
-I didn't really watch the main event because I am distracted by shiny things, but I assume it was crap.
-Chantal used to like Viscera in the huge jammies, but hates Big Daddy V.
-Is the the Big Daddy V show? First Punk and now Tommy.
-If this were a just world, Balls would hand Mizanin his fucking spleen.
-Dammit Stevie!! Snap out of it.
-Hahahah!! Fuck you Thorn!! Reverse decision, Stevie wins!!! I'm drunk....
-Cant get enough main event dq's...... Bring on the worms.
They're not bad other then the terrible out of place Alberta flag on the shoulder. You can do a 'tour' here.
2. Howards on vacation.... AGAIN!
3. I will have pictures and some videos from vacation and Karaoke and PWA soon. Here or Facebook.... Or both..... Whatever....
The holiday was awesome. To attempt to sum it up, night 1 we hung out with my brother and I played Guitar Hero for the first time, its a pretty sweet game. However, I suck at Rainbow Six Vegas. Next night we got together with Tiny and Lisa and sawe their new house (which is sweet. That is also the night I discovered Jimmi got married and didn't even tell me, nevermind invite me. Someone tell him he's a jerk..... :-)
Saw my sister and the kids, Logan is cute as hell and very smiley all of a sudden.
Next day we decided to be really crazy and go to Calaway Park. For those around here that don't know, Calaway Park is a dumpy little amusement park North(?) Of Calgary. We rode a few rides and Chantal swallowed her own vomit on the Ocean Motion 3 times which was worth the pride of admission.
Next day we hit Banff which was a bit of a downer because they are re-doing the main street so it was ripped up and blocked off. But we still had an awesome time. We took a carriage ride and Chantal bought some Raspberry Cordial (whatever the fuck that is) and some candy at Welchs.
Next was the hi-lite for me, a Calgary Vipers baseball game. Seats nice and close, awesome game. Good times.
We headed back home Thursday morning and chilled until Karaoke Friday night which was a blast despite the fact that I am a fucking retard.
Saturday was PWA, where I came up on the short end of the stick again. It was a really solid show and everyone kicked ass. I was really proud to be even the smallest part of the roster, everyone rocked it out.
Sunday was SummerSlam and it was a lot better then I expected to be. The finish of Punk/Morrison was weak but other then that nothing stuck out that was super stink-worthy. I was intrigued by my peers apparent hate of CM Punk, but their opinion is always welcome.
Picked up my router and shit for our wireless network, X Box live looks pretty sweet and internet on the notebooks around the house is even sweeter.
I am becoming a regular contributer on xtremewrestlingtorrents.net. Join if you can so you can (as Dustin would say) get access to my collection without the annoying VHS tapes.
There was more but I can't remember and I have to be up at 4 so good fucking night!
I have a lot to write about the holiday, PWA, Summerslam etc. One day I will have time.
Anyway, last night we played some more Star Wars Lego before Big Brother came on. As for BB, it amazed me how that blonde chick (her name escapes me, Melanie, Melissa?) Had her imagination run away with her on one sentence from Jen of all people. Now I understand editing plays a pretty big part in what we see but still, it was a little rapid.
Eric was in a tough spot with this whole silent treatment thing which lasted all of about 12 seconds but that only increased (blonde chicks name here)'s paranoia. I wonder if there will be a shift and Dick wil stay and Dustin will go. Seems like being nominated is the safest position to be in lately.
My regular bus didn't come so I ended up on the fucking tour bus to the mall, and the dvd I ripped for XWT is all fucked up. I think it my have been because it was copy protected but I have no idea.
And the damn PVR still isn't working, I'm losing my patience big time.
Kissology volume 2 comes out today, looks too awesome. Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park is on it, but the name is changed to Kiss verses The Phantoms. Legal issues? I wonder why the name change.
I didn't realize how big Artie has gotten, he really is a fat fuck.....
-The jobber that the Boogeyman beat looked a lot like Bobby Roode.-Striker yelling "more daddy more" is humorously creepy....
-This is the end? No one will remember your name? Yeesh, someone kill me.
-Balls jobbing to the Miz 2 weeks in a row makes Boris sad.
-It appears Kelly has a soft spot for Mr. Mahoney and frankly, who wouldn't!
-The Raw rebound makes me sorry I missed Raw. And sadly there was not one snippet of in-ring action during the segment.
-Morrisons entrance music doesn't suit his Doors gimmick at all.
-Worst. Hip swivel. Ever.
-Punk and Morrison had moments of goodness and moments of total shit.
-Holy fuck, John Morrison. I can't take it. He can't pull this off. Not even the smallest bit believable. I believe the Boogeyman more then this shit.-Ok dude, we got it. Don't explain the whole 15 minute thing again. Fuck.
-A 12 minute opening promo on a 1 hour show is a little much....
-Is Stevie getting a push? Is my wildest dream coming true?.... No, I doubt it. But it will be fun while it lasts.
-Its kinda fun watching Big Daddy V squash multiple jobbers.
-Is Boogeyman looking a little less jacked or is it just me?
-Balls vs. The Miz blew.
-The Dreamer vingette with all the old clips made me sad. Oh how I long for the old days....
-I like Burke more and more every time I see him.
-Punk, Burke and Dreamer was quite good.
One of the hilites was playing some 360 with Chantal. She is hooked on Star Wars Lego but her Need for Speed skills could use a little work. She drives like Stevie Wonder.
We had our pictures done at Wal Mart this afternoon, the dude that took them was quite a piece of work. He kept whipping the kids into a frenzy when we were trying to calm them down.
Got a bunch of new tapes that I'm pretty excited about. A bunch of World Class, some old NWA including Crockett Cups, and stuff like that.
I'm attempting to start contributing at XWT in whatever way I can, stay tuned.
Can't seem to get the PVR to jive with the digital cable box so some rearranging is in order.
Braden is coming tommorow, can't wait for him to see the new place.
"If I had a girlfriend I totally would have banged her." - Drew, during the discussion that none of the couples he went to the cabin with this weekend had sex.
(I am a horrible person.....)
-Ok, I don't get this whole John Morrison deal.... The first week he talked fairly normally and the next he's yapping about 'eternal darkness.' Is he supposed to like a Jim Morrison type of deal or what?-The 15 minutes of fame clock... Lol so lame I like it.
-He needs to decide what he's gonna do with that belt, are you gonna carry it over the shoulder or hold it. Decide!!
-Hubristic? What the fuck does that mean?
-HHH returns at Summerslam.... Yay. I don't even know how Raw is these days, I don't watch the damn show. Grizz?
-YEAH STEVIE!!! Take that motherfuckers!!!!
-Nunzio.... It's Little Guido dammit!!
-As much as he is a piece of shit, Mizanins knee lift-neckbreaker finish is good.
-Big Vis has man-tits of Abby-like proportions.
-Awesome squash by Big Daddy V.
-Fuck, Tommy took a LOT of heat before the hot tag. Punk looked like a hero and Dreamer looked like a bag of shit.
Cracked open the X Box last night and fired it up and its prety fuckin' cool. Baseball looks amazing as does Raw vs. Smackdown but its really damn hard! And if anyone knows how to unlock the ECW One Night Stand Arena, please let me know.
I feel a little weird throwing oit some stuff I've had for a long time such as my Def Leppard 'Historia' VHS video. My dad gave it to me for my birthday like it was like 10. I know I will probably never watch it again but it was weird to toss it. But its all good, the start of a new era.
Artie gave out his phone number this morning but by time I called it was totally jammed. Too funny, would have been sweet if I got through.
Apparently the Weekly World News tabloid is ceasing production. I used to pick one up every now and then because it was great for laughs. Always makes me think of Sandi when I see one, she used to love it.
I think the Jays are finally at 500. 9 games back in the wild card race, is there even a remote possibility they can make a run?
-Michael Vick was indicted for dog fighting, including electrocuting, hanging and beating dogs to death. What a piece of shit, but I'm sure he'll get off and be in the starting lineup for the Falcons this fall.
-John Kronus died. That sucks, he was a big guy that could pull off cruierweight spots. Liked his stuff with Saturn back in the old days of ECW.
I am ultra excited, I hear you can get tours of the Rogers Center as well.... Hockey Hall of Fame, Muchmusic maybe, this could be very cool.
Going to watch Sunday's Big Brother tonight before the new one... I'm sure Jen will do something stupid, actually looking forward to it.
The AP on Benoits toxicology report is in...
The Associated Press - The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Tuesday that steroids and other drugs were found in the body of pro wrestler Chris Benoit, and prescription drugs were also found in the bodies of his wife and son.
Also found in Benoit were the drugs Xanax and hydrocodone, according to a statement from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The GBI said Benoit was negative for blood alcohol.The statement said Nancy Benoit had Xanax, hydrocodone and hydromporphone in her body.
The son, Daniel Benoit had Xanax in his system, the statement said. The GBI said it could not perform tests for steroids or human growth hormones on the son because of lack of adequate amount of urine.Xanax is an anti-anxiety drug. Hydrocodone is a painkiller.The statement was released just before an afternoon news conference.
The test results were expected to shed more light on Benoit's last moments. Authorities said Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son in their metro Atlanta home last month, placed Bibles next to their bodies and then hanged himself on the cable of a weight machine.
Anabolic steroids were found in the Benoits' gated home, leading officials to wonder if the drugs played a role in the killings. Some experts believe steroids can cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as "roid rage."Toxicology tests were conducted on Benoit's body to determine if steroids or other drugs were present. Blood-alcohol tests also were conducted on his body, and chemical tests were conducted on the bodies of the wife and son.
Federal authorities have charged Benoit's personal physician, Dr. Phil Astin, with improperly prescribing painkillers and other drugs to two patients other than Benoit. He has pleaded not guilty.
Investigators office has also been raided Astin's office several times since the deaths, seizing prescription records and other medical documents.Before he was charged, Astin told the AP he prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past. He would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office June 22, the day authorities believe Benoit killed his wife.
No comment, tired of talking about it really...
-The old ECW music with the new opening doesn't mesh at all.-Dreamer and Nitro was bland but had good psychology.
-Extreme Expose returns next week.... Yay.
-Wow, Punk and Nitro from Vengeance. I wonder if they will edit out the 'We want Benoit' chants.
-It sounded like they dubbed 'ECW' chants over the Benoit ones.
-Punk and Thorn was decent. Thorn looked strong in the loss.
-Vinces appearance was quite somber and understandably so.-I don't buy Jonny Nitro as ECW champion, his match with Cena was bland. And way to establish the new champ by having him lose to Cena in his first match after winning the title.
-"Sing happy birthday to the mark." Brilliant. Nothing like a little Hot Rod to brighten your day.
-Is the Boogeyman over? Someone tell me.
-Punk and Burke was pretty good. Getting a little tired of watching the 2 of them go at it though.

-Wow, Chris Harris vs. Raven sucked. Raven doesn't look good at all.
-Who is Ed Hardy?
-Nice vingette for Ricky Banderas.
-Well, thanks for coming out Jay, hope you enjoyed your title run. Match was decent but short.
You get to know these people through their family testimonials. You sympathize and in my case even empathize with them. You want to help but at the same time you know that the leap off the bridge is looming and you know you will see it, it will be shoved in your face as a period to the end of the sentence no matter what was said by anyone.
Watch this film, take what you will from it but I know I'll never see the Golden Gate Bridge on a postcard or on TV, and not think of the troubled souls who plunge from it as a final end to whatever has been slowly killing them already.
648 posts of nothing even a small amount important.... And more to come.
We saw this at Sephora (AKA Heaven for women) yesterday and I can't wrap my head around it. Here's the writeup:What I am digging and have put on my ipod (so far):
The Decemberists
Ima Robot
Boards of Canada
PB & J
LCD Soundsystem.
People suffer largely unnoticed while the rest of the world goes about its business. This is a documentary exploration of the mythic beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge, the most popular suicide destination in the world, and those drawn by its call. Steel and his crew filmed the bridge during daylight hours from two separate locations for all of 2004, recording most of the two dozen deaths in that year (and preventing several others). They also taped interviews with friends, families and witnesses, who recount in sorrowful detail stories of struggles with depression, substance abuse and mental illness. Raises questions about suicide, mental illness and civic responsibility as well as the filmmaker's relationship to his fraught and complicated material.
