Oh MAN! That Didn’t Turn Out.

So I was sick Monday. Then sicker Tuesday, and a little better Wednesday……….. then worse Wed night……..feeling a little better today.

The return of House was excellent as hell. I missed that show. Now, more resting.

cough cough cough cough

Kayla is sick again. I feel so bad for her. This hasn’t been her best year. It seems like she’s been sick on and off for the last two months. Her temp went up to 103.5 which was scary enough for us to take her to her doctor. They put her on some penicillin. It seems to be working.

I also got sick. They don’t tell you this, but when you become a parent you automatically sign up to become sick…….. A LOT. My temp only went up to 99.7 (which is still high for me since my average is 97.7).

I hoping this goes away over the course of the night. I want to be in top notch viewing mode for when House comes back tomorrow night.

Empty Space

Not much going on really. Some good news on the horizon though. House still has three new episodes left, and they will start airing next Tuesday. Better yet, it seems the the WGA strike may FINALLY be nearing it’s end. Good in that House and Heroes can continue to produce new episodes.

We also heard back from our Tax Preparer and it looks like we will have a return of about $3,200~! That is probably not a lot to most people but it’s practically a fortune to us poor folk. We will surely be buying many a need item around here (and a couple unnecessary ones as well).

The HQ and HD versions of the Star Trek teaser trailer is online now. You can check it out HERE.

On the shittier side of things, I was pretty shocked to learn about the death of Heath Ledger. I’m pretty sure his death was accidental, and I’m still looking forward to seeing The Dark Knight.

An Ode To Wrestling

So certain things have been popping up here and there about our wrestling promotion (that will be starting up in March). I thought I should get this out there before we begin, you know, for the kids.

I HATE the wrestling business. I love wrestling matches, hate the business. In fact you’ll be hard pressed to find any single aspect about the business that I like. Not just the backstabbing and politicking (which to me ruins what is so fun about wrestling), but everything down to the stupid egocentric and childish “unwritten rules of conduct and respect”.

To me I see wrestling as a bunch of guys who get act like kids whose parents are away for the weekend. Or better yet a giant frat house where they can play secret society and make up rules and treat people like shit to make themselves feel powerful (possibly because they themselves were treated like shit by those who came before them, also bullshit).

Respect, this is what is touted and demanded most of all. I respect that Ric Flair has busted his ass and put on some of the greatest matches of all time. I’ll respect that, because I’ve seen that. I have no respect for him otherwise. And let me stop you there. It’s not that I refuse to respect him, I just have no reason to. I don’t know the man personally, respect is earned is it not? Furthermore I refuse to give a person special treatment because of their work or what they’ve done. I refuse to live in the make believe world that wrestling wants to exist in. My father is the most senior employee at his place of employment but he doesn’t get preferential treatment because of it. That’s how it works in reality, that’s how it should work in wrestling. I’ll respect your work, but I refuse to treat anyone differently based on that. If you want real respect earn it by being a decent person.

Most wrestlers only care about making money. Wrestling schools are run by guys who can’t make a living off wrestling so they open a school and charge insane prices. I’ll tell you from experience that most of what you need to know can be taught in a month (depending on how adept to wrestling you are) the rest is learned through “on the job experience” and talking to veterans about what they have learned. I think it’s common knowledge that there have been A LOT of wrestlers who were trained but never went through a school. There are even a large hand full of guys who never trained until they broke in somewhere.

Wrestling is a scummy business populated by a lot of scumbags. Chances are if you hear a wrestler saying someone is disrespecting the business it’s because those people are probably doing what they can’t or couldn’t do and they are jealous as a result. Either that or they have been brainwashed, it’s hard to differentiate sometimes.

DEAR GOD YES!

Hey! Sunday Was Good….Right?

It wasn’t bad (Sunday that is). We went to my parents place. They bought a new HD TV. Twas glorious watching Football in the Hi-Def. Despite Football being my least favorite sport even so, HD makes everything look good.

We had some Pizza, I borrowed some movies, and that was that.

Everything that has happened since Sunday has been a colossal failure.  At this point I’m really starting to look forward to my reconstructive foot surgery, then I can just pick myself up and move on with life. Right now things aren’t going my way (not that I ever expect them to it’s just how that works out) and a big part of me right now that just wants to drop the last five years and start all over again.
