  1. I am starting to wonder what the plan is for Wrestlemania. Seems like Miz vs. Cena is going to happen, but besides that I am rather confused. I'm not even sure that Money in the Bank will happen as it has it's own PPV now. I was thinking they were going with a Nexus/Corre match, but that seems rather unlikely as everyone is heel. No Undertaker is not going to help matters as well.

    Try the Dr. Pepper throwback and it might change your mind. It is one of the most vile things ever created.
  3. I really hope they are not going to keep calling it the "new" Nexus. It just sounds so lame. Also, I am really not digging making the Rumble 40 men. When you bust out Darren Young & Primo to sell the Rumble, you are not exactly getting a star studded event.
  4. Add up the following and it gets me annoyed. - Done cooking? Then clean the kitchen. - Use the last of the paper towels? Put a new roll out. - Get the mail? Put it in the mail tray, not all over the kitchen counter. - Doing laundry? Don't leave it in the washer & dryer for three days. Other people need to clean their clothes. - Open a pack of batteries? Don't leave the empty package in the drawer. - Making a phone call you don't want anyone to hear? Leave the room. Do not ask someone else to leave. - Need to walk around the house? Take your wet shoes off. I really dislike stepping on wet carpet.

    The Music Thread

    I've had that sitting around forever, but have yet to listen.
  6. Spider-Man: Redemption - The three inner monologues got annoying real fast. Overwritten I believe is the word. New Mutants: Truth of Death - Thought this would be a fun 'lost' tale of the classic team. Not so much. Seems rather pointless. Comics: 17
  7. I normally pay $1.74 for my headphones. I get what I pay for, in that they generally break in about 3-4 months. Doesn't bother me, because again, I get what I pay for. Last week I decided to buy a nicer pair of headphones from work. Not overly expensive, but about ten times what I normally spend. They just stopped working while I was cooking dinner. Hopefully I just got a bad pair because I liked them when they worked, but lasting 3-4 days is a bit ridiculous.
  8. Started listening to Colt Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast. Was an enjoyable listen.
  9. I can actually read! But sadly, since I only read what can be found in most dime boxes, I got what I paid for. Bodycount 1-4 : Absolutely horrid art. And I really don't need my Ninja Turtles packing heat, shooting people with machine guns. The Punisher: The Origin of Mircochip 1-2 : I think my main problem, besides reading these sub-par older books, is that petty much anything gained has probably been retconned by now and thus makes the entire thing kinda feel pointless. Teen Titans Drug PSA : It's an anti drug comic from the early 80s. What do you really expect? Batman: Jazz 1-3 : Not a bad little three issue story, if not linear and somewhat predictable. While not a huge fan of the art, it seemed to fit the story well. Comics: 10
  10. Watch and be underwhelmed. I really wish TNA would hype something for once. Not that hard. Video packages every week between PPVs. You don't even need to announce who he is facing. Just state his 1st TNA match would be at the PPV and people might be enticed to buy.
  11. In mail at some point this month, I recieved two free movie theatre passes and two free redbox rentals. They need to be used by the end of next week. What should I watch?
  12. So, at work we got in a bunch of the DVD sets for $5. Any worth picking up? Keep in mind, the last three I watched (Pillman, Stars of the 80s, & ECW Bloodbath) all were horrid in my eyes.
  13. Let's see what I can come up with. 1) Be More Active: I have a gym membership, I just need to make myself start going again. Not really a weight issue, not saying losing some wouldn't hurt, but I just need to be more active. Once spring/summer hits, taking walks and playing ball will help with this. 2) Try To Cook: I try and it generally works out well. And I actually enjoy doing it. But I always fall into eating the quick meal. Need to do better. 3) Media: I have a massive backlog of various forms of media just sitting around me. I have a stack of CDs and countless mp3s to listen to. About 40 UFC PPVs. One shelf of DVDs. 11 TV series on DVD. Two shelves of novels. A couple boxes of comics. And lastly, a metric shit ton of wrestling. I was making some decent progress before the holidays. There is zero chance I get through everything, but if I even take this down by 25% I would be thrilled. 4) Vacation: I have never been on a vacation in my life. I want to do that this year. I want to visit every MLB stadium and currently stand at 3. I looked at the Reds schedule last August, and was thinking about seeing them play in Baltimore. Or possibly going to DC for a Nationals game and hitting the Pirates on the way back. Either way, save money now and have the chance of fun later.

    I am about to go to work. And seeing as how I work at the store that is open the latest tonight, I am in for that special holiday treat. It will not be too bad until the other stores start closing. Rushes will come in fifteen minutes after people get kicked out the other stores. Worst is when the mall closes.
  15. I really want the Slaughterhouse. Probably die afterward, but looks awesome.
  16. Template for phone calls at work today: "We are currently sold out / We do not sell that item." "No, I don't know who sells them." "No, I will not call Wal-Mart/Best Buy/Pawn Shop for you to find the item." "Again, no, I cannot get on a computer and tell you what Best Buy has in stock. Call them and they will tell you." "No, I do not know their number. I'm sure it is in the phone book." "I don't know if they deliver. Again, I do not work there." "If you have a question for this store, I can try and help you. Otherwise, I will have to hang up and help the customers in the store that are waiting in line." *Click* Four times today. Two days left and I have one of those days off.

    So despite everyone/everything pissing me off in the last day and a half, I can still manage to have something of the Christmas spirit. Two kids, about seven or eight, are pooling their money to buy a cheap, crappy video game. They raided their stash, as it was a few singles and a bunch of change. I felt like being nice, so I went and got a couple copies of some promotional comics I've had sitting around for at least six months. They went absolutely insane and had grins ear to ear. They ran up to their mom and were all 'look what we got'. Mom came over and gave what was actually a heartfelt thank-you. It's the small things like this that almost make up for having to deal with the adult assholes.
  18. Jump into the way back machine shall we. It is late April. My friend is getting married and it is decided that we are going to a game at Wrigley for the bachelor party. The best man asks me to help out and get the tickets and everyone pays me back. EVERYONE agrees to this. It is now May 28th. Two days before we leave. One guy, who has yet to pay, pulls out because he cannot get off of work. He says he will still pay. It is the summer. We are all playing softball. I remind him every time that he owes me money. He always forgets. I get pissed. It is fall. He falls of the face of the earth. It is today. The friend who got married says that he is going snowboarding with some people, including the non-paying douche. I text my friend to remind the douche once again and the douche shrugged and changed the subject. -- Now, I feel I have been more than understanding. It is eight months later and I am still out the money. More to the point, he seems to think it is no big deal. I owe someone money, I go out of my way to get it to them as soon as possible. Yet, he can afford to go snowboarding, which cost more than he owes me. By double. I know where the bastard works, but I have not gone in and talk to him. I find that to be rude and not the place for such a conversation. However, at this point, I am beginning to think that is my only option. I don't know where he lives and I do not know is phone number. Yeah, this is money for a baseball ticket, but that money can pay my car insurance or cell phone for a month.

    At work, I was making signs for random video games on sale. One of which was the World of Warcraft Battlechest. Too bad that I printed signs that said Babychest. Twice.
  20. I totally forgot about Punk singing Happy Birthday to Mysterio's daughter. Pure heel awesomeness.
  21. Right there with you. Last year I got that treatment for not price-matching ebay. Now, my store doesn't price-match at all, but ebay? I forget which, but it was for a used game system for $50.
  22. Ha. I forgot about RVD because it is the Wrestle Wrestle theme to me.
  23. Listing to my ipod on random and Gangrel's theme song played. And this got me thinking about current entrance themes, specifically TNA. I cannot remember any of them beyond Mickie James (which is not because it is good). But I can still remember it. I think of a TNA wrestler and I don't have a clue, just vague ideas. Conversely, I can remember most of the WWE themes and hear them in my head. When thinking about why, the only thing I could really come up with is that TNA music lack lyrics? I ask that as a question because I am not even sure about that. The only themes I can think of with words are Mickie James & Jeff Hardy.

    Those Countdown episodes got me through the utter boredom that was packing/moving/unpacking a few years ago. While I felt bad for Mike/Des at the end, it was still worth the listen.
