A New day

Things are finally starting to look up for me and brood, the VA still hasn't gotten is stuff together but I think it's just a matter of time. At first it may be hard to see but this whole mess does have it positives, we get a new start, we get to chip away at our debt and start a new so we got that going for us. As long we keep it together and try not to turn on each other which is easy to do in hard times, I think we will be just fine. I also wanted to start a new thing where we will have a movie, song/group, and TV show of the day, so we will see if you guys like that. I know I should be doing my do diligence here  and talk about the Super Bowl but I am still not over the Bears losing so I will just leave it at this Pitt.31 Pack 24, and I hate Arron Rodgers, first Favre and now him , why.


Music of the day - Anything Def Leppard, just great music.

Movie of the day - Little shop of Horrors, Fun, great cast great songs , just really love this movie

TV Show - Supernatural is back and looks to end with a bang.

OK eye listeners gotta bounce.

shout out to liz

Now your talking my language , the original Nature Boy Buddy Rodgers, Classy Freddy Blassey, the Marvalous one Don Maraco,  still watch old tapes of those guys,Watching Ric Flair and Barry Windham battle it out on the Crockett Cup Shows is what I grew up on, and I'm  thrilled you are into it as well, I knew aussie's were awesome. And don't worry more wrestling talk is on the way.

I think we all ( who are wrestling fans ) some times forget about the old great so it is always nice to hear someone speak the great names of the past, keep on piledriving eye listeners.

Hey you guys

Well I am up and can't get back to sleep which sucks but hey, at least it gives me a good reason to blog. So this last week or so has not been fun for me. My hip feels like it's popping out of place every time I put weight on it. Enough about pain lets get into some fun stuff, as you can probably tell I don't have like and dis-likes I have things I am passionate about and major psychotic friggin hatreds. It just make life more simple to sort out. I always put love in this way and it works for me, you see I feel you like things because of things and on the other hand you love things in spite of things As you can tell sports and wrestling and movies and such are mt passions, along with music they are the only things that keep me going sometimes, and the reason for that is they are always there for me, and really you can't say that for people because most of the time through no fault of their own people will let you down, But sports and video games and movies and Star Wars and some of the things I collect, they are always there for me and they always know how to make me feel better. See people have a tendency to even while they are comfort you they get into things about themselves and there is nothing wrong with that but when I am pouring my heart out I don't really wanna know how it effects you and maybe I am wrong for that or maybe I am explaining it wrong. What I do know however is when I find that my bs is effecting other people, that doesn't give me perspective it makes me feel guilty, like who am I to effect your lives with my problems you know. It is probably for this reason I love blogging no guilt no pressure just me and my keyboard and while you guys read and ( very rarely ) comment I find it soothing in a way that just talking in person very seldom provides me. So thank you all for helping me through this tough patch of my life.

So I wanted to get into baseball but honestly I could write about baseball for like 9 hours straight and still not say all I want to say, but what I will say is this baseball needs to do 3 things to help turn baseball back into America's past-time. #1 Get more instant replay for everything except balls and strikes.#2 get rid of the designated hitter, it's tired and played out so really I would be satisfied even if they just gave both leagues the DH that would be good too. #3 Re-alignment of the divisions, now this is way past due. Take for instance the A.L. East they need to get Baltimore out of there in fact I say switch them with the Phillies or maybe even the Marlins, or even both and send Boston to the east as well. I think that would help. Also keep the playoffs the way they are, it works well.

All right party people I think I can lay back down now. TTFN eye listeners.

Quick hit on Hockey

Well since I cut it early on the last post, I will pick up where I left off and that going into hockey. Now I don't know a ton about hockey but what I do know is that the blackhawks won it all last year and that made me care more. The one big opinion I have on hockey is that Sidney Crosby is amazing to watch, I can sit through a game if he is playing, with him out right now it not only hurts the Penguins but the entire league. The only thing that can stop him from being the greatest ever ( yes even better than the great one ) is injury or stupidity. Another thing I like about hockey is how it is managed if a rule or something is wrong, they change, they don't fart around with it, they fix it, also they innovate. They are always looking for ways to get more people involved and just by the fact that I am blogging about it shows that their efforts are paying off, at least in my mind. Another thing that helps is that of the top 10 young players in the league we have like 3 of them on the hawks ( Kane, Sharp and Hossa ).
Next blog we get to the fun stuff Baseball, till then eye listeners, peace

Life and sports

I feel that sports and the arts are critical in the development of not just kids but everyone. Sports bring us together and it can pull us apart. Sports are amazing to me because we get so into them that we feel like we are apart of the teams we root for. I just so happen to be from one of those places where sports come first, one of the best sports towns in the world and that's Chicago. We love our sports and we love our teams ( except the White Sox [spits on the ground] may the burn forever, maybe that last part is just me ) but I just don't love Chi-town sports I love sports period. One of my favorite things to do is talk about sports so the following is just my views on sports past and present while aslo coasting into the future enjoy.

Football
    Well if you have been reading for a while you saw how badly I took that Bear loss to the packers it hurt, mainly because even though we didn't play well we still should have and almost won that game. Sometimes it just comes down to the most momentum and that's the one thing the Pack had so they won, it's not gonna help them Sunday because I think the Bear game exposes them for the weak team they are and I just don't think they match up well with Pitt so I got the Steelers 31-21 so we will see.
Next year barring a lockout will be one crazy year because I think we are going to see much improvement across the board , which is not always the case. Records may not improve to much for some but I think the games will be better and closer and I think we will see a ton of new talent. We should see some great football and I for one can't wait.

That's it for right now guys my back is done I need to rest it, I mean who gets sore from sitting to long I mean really.

Back to blogging

So I have decided not to start a new blog with specific directions, like 1 for sports or 1 for TV and film, in lieu of that I am just going to have days that target those interests just to keep things fresh.

Today's Focus is Wrestling.

While wrestling may not be everybody's cup-o-tea it is one of my favorite things and after the weekend of wrestling that was I wanted to share my opinions. But before I begin I want you all to know I am mainly focusing on the WWE and TNA, I do watch NWA in Hollywood and ROH and a bunch of other inde. stuff but I want to focus on the main promotions. Also I just want to state I have been watching wrestling for about 25 years and I worked for a few inde. companies and once briefly helped set up some stuff for WCW when they came to Vegas which was pretty often. My Mom and I met and had long talks with many of the wrestlers and as you can see by some of the pics I have added that I was their in 2007 in Iraq when the put on a show for us. In fact if you watch that years tribute to the troops ( the name of the show they put on ) you will see that HBK throws his shirt into the crowd well I'm the one who caught it and you can even see me wearing it on camera it was awesome after I got it signed by both HHH and HBK ( Shawn Michaels ). So I am a bit of a fan you can say but it is more than that I went to wrestling school ( one of WCW's at the time ) for a whole 3 weeks and let me tell you what they do is amazing. Here we go.

Quickly on TNA, ( Total Non-stop Action ) I don't know what is going on back stage but this promotion is being run into the ground, it was once promising with young stars like AJ Styles and Samoa Joe and Chris Daniels and a myriad of others, but now those guys are either out of the company ( Daniels ) lost it a mid-card status ( Joe ) or maybe even worst of all caught in the most convoluted and worst thought out story line ever ( the 3rd rehash of the they/them story ) I truly feel the only reason why Jeff Hardy and Mr. Anderson have had title runs is to stick it to Vince Mcmahon. You know show him that these guys are main eventers. The problem is they are not. Don't get me wrong they are great, 2 of my Favs. to be honest but the way they are used in TNA is not highlighting their best skills. TNA can still be saved but they have to move quickly, they must start putiing the emphasis back on the X division, they have a bunch of guys that can flat out go, also they need to cut about 1/4th of their roster start fresh and stop freaking out about the story lines, they change directions far to often, So I feel if they start fresh take the spotlight off of Flair ( I'll get to you later buddy ) Hogan and Bishoff and back on the guys that got you here. Next bring back the six sided ring it was fun and opened up more possibilities for the superstars. Stop trying to re-live the past and just let some of these amazing dudes do their thing.

OK on to WWE wow what a week for them, I don't really know what to say they brought back 2 old school Favorites that they both got huge POPS ( Kevin Nash and Booker T ) but neither were on Raw last night and after a fairly decent PPV ( Royal Rumble ) they come back with a very weak raw that saw Jerry Lawler become the new #1 contender, stupid move I mean I know why they are doing it, they are setting up Micheal Cole vs. the King at Wrestlemania which the King has never performed so I get that part of it but all they are doing is making the Miz look like a very weak champ. Also I think it's time to go back to PG-13 now I am not saying I want blood and bard wire matches or anything like that but this is wrestling and it is violent and I think the PG thing just hinders them in the creative department sometimes.

Quick list of my 5 Favs. of all time
5. Bruno Sanmartino, 4.Rick Flair 3. Chris Jericho 2. Ricky Steamboat 1. HBK

Quick list of best right now.
5. AJ Styles 4.Daniel Bryan 3. Edge 2. CM Punk 1. John Morrison

OK so there we are Tomorrow will be Sports so buckle up eye listeners.

Just worn out

It has been a stressful last few days, trying to get everything out of the old house as we prep to go into a new place in April. So that gives us like 2 months to get ready and knock off as much debt as we can so we can get off to a new good start. Nothing seems to go as planned because lets face it life doesn't care about yours or anybodies best laid plans. Life, the cosmos, karma, fate, destiny, God, it really is all the same and there has to come a time when you as a human on this planet must take responsibility for your self and deal with the situation at hand and find a way to push past it. I think one of the most over used and worthless statements uttered in life is " it will all work out ", well duh, time stops for no man, one way or the other things will work out, but is that a statement that you really wanna hide behind, I mean really because you can die right now and that is one way it will work it self out, but do you really want to go that route, I know it's just a nice platitude and for some people it may help, I am just not one of them I would much rather be as proactive as possible and work it out my self. I think many of us feel if we wait long enough that things will just go away but that just is not reality, so that's what this weekend has been about trying to regain control of my own destiny, and let me tell you it has been a struggle, I just feel like I need a " win " ya know. OK enough of that on to the hto button quick hits.

I don't even wanna start on the Egypt situation, just crazy but when civilizations have been waring for thousands of years this is to be expected and it will never end, peace is not sustainable, even more so in this time because peace is not profitable, war is big money, I mean it's crazy but most big companies now a days basically build their own army's or contract out to military groups like mercenary companies, It truly is a very dangerous world we live in.

Anyone see the China/top gun clips wow, if your going to pass off a movie clip as your own military stuff why would you use footage from the most popular jet fighter movie of all time, why not Iron Eagle 2 or something. it's beyond me.

OK eye listeners it's nice to be back talk to ya later.
