A blog about a blog? Somebody call Ripleys!

Here, go here, for actual entertainment.

So man, remember when I said I like the show Friends?

I saw the pilot episode yesterday and I am genuinely surprised that show lasted a whole season. Unless it got 1,000,000,000x better, theirs no reason that thing should have lasted. It was truely AWFUL. Maybe this is why so many people hate the damn show. They probably saw the pilot and just vomited through there eyes! Seriously, AWFUL. I still like the show, but man, that pilot blew.

Well, since I'm up...

So, I've been up since 5, when I didn't have to be awake till about 6. Oh well. So yeah, lets see if I can tell you everything I promised to tell you before. I got a job. A good job. A $15 an hour job. Those are rare I hear. I'm basically the assistant to the owner of a construction company. I make faxes, copies, invoices, and call people and ask them about things that I know nothing about. It's actually a cool job because I'm basically the only employee and my boss is crazy nice. Like, pick me up everyday nice so I don't have to take the MetroNorth at an ungodly hour. Also, he buys me lunch sometimes, which is beyond nice. So yeah, I also have to learn how to drive, because that is going to be part of the job soon. I'm pretty excited about that, because I've always wanted to learn but I never needed a reason before, seeing as there is public transportation everywhere in the city. He'll even give me a car to use when needed, so yeah, like I said, super duper nice.

Alright, next topic. 9/16/2006. Mark it down people. It is the date of ROH's best show ever. Now, I'm not just saying this because it was my first live event. This sentiment is being echoed by many ROH fans on there message boards, so yeah, it's a very big deal. Seriously, almost all of the matches could have been main events on any other wrestling show for any other promotion. I say any other promotion because ROH has seriously reached a level of prestige that I have not seen in a wrestling company ever in my life. First of all, they had the honor of hosting a GHC Heavyweight title match. The GHC title is Japans biggest wrestling title. 9/16 was the very first time it was defended outside of Japan and it was the very first defense by the newly crown GHC champion, Marufuji Naomichi. He was defending it against one of the best pure wrestler in the world, Nigel McGuinness. The match was off the charts awesome. Everything about it was executed perfectly, and it is no wonder why the GHC committee allowed ROH to host the very first GHC Heavyweight title match that took place outside of Japan. Now, with all of that said, that was just the first out of the two main events. The second main event was Bryan Danielson defending the ROH World Heavyweight championship against Japans own KENTA. Yeah, that's right, the ROH belt was defended AFTER the GHC belt. That's so major, you guys don't even know. Anyway, some background information on the two. KENTA has been a semi-regular in ROH this year. He came in for one show in 2005 and was so impressed by the talent and the crowds that he decided to tour with ROH for a while in 2006. KENTA is one of the stiffest workers in Japan. What I mean by that is that when he kicks someone, he fucking KICKS someone. I have cringed many a time watching KENTA matches. They are beyond brutal. Anyway, KENTA has been touring with ROH and during that time, he has gotten three different wins against Bryan Danielson, all in non-title matches of course. His main finisher is called the GO 2 Sleep, which is basically him picking you up on his shoulders, throwing you in mid-air and kneeing you in the face as you return to Earth. It's quite the sight and it has legitimately knocked out many contenders before. Now, Bryan Danielson. There is so much one can say about him but I don't have that kind of time. He is 25 years old, has basically toured the wrestling world and is considered by many in the know as THE best wrestler in the world. Not one of the best, THE best. Imagine being 25 and being the best at anything. So yes, Bryan Danielson, best wrestler in the world and current ROH champion. Recently, Danielson has been on a roll. He's been defending his belt in 2 out of 3 falls matches, that ALL went to the 60 minute time limit. In one weekend, he wrestled 180 minutes. There was a price to pay to say the least. In his last 60 minute, 2/3 falls match, he seperated his shoulder 10 minutes into the match. Not wanting to dissapoint the fans, he wrestled for 50 minutes with a fucking seperated shoulder. I can't even comprehend how someone could do anything like that. So coming into 9/16, he's facing a man who has beaten him on 3 seperate occasions, with an injured shoulder. Everyone thought the match would not be as good because they thought that KENTA might go easy on the shoulder or Danielson just might not be as good. Those people don't know Danielson and KENTA. The guys put on 30 minutes of the most intense, believeable wrestling I have ever seen in my life. Now, I said believeable because I know that wrestling is pre-determined and I still watch it. I'll explain why I do in another post, because shit this is going on for a while, but yeah, I understand that it's pre-determined, but on 9/16, at 11 pm, all of that went out the window. I completely got lost in the match. I was on my feet the whole time, cheering on Danielson like nobodys business, and literally jumped up and yelled "FUCKING RIGHT DANIELSON" when he made KENTA tap out at about 38 minutes. I'm usually a quite man, unless I'm playing Halo, as many people can attest to, but that night, that match, something happened. I saw history in the making that night, and I am so glad I was able to attend what was the best show ROH has put on in it's illustrious 4 years of business. It was the best night of my life.

House

Honestly, it's the best show on TV right now. It has everything that makes a TV show good, and it get great ratings, which is honestly rare. When I first saw a commercial for House, I was like great, another medical show. I decided to give it a chance, because well nothing else was on that night and it blew me away. Hugh Laurie is a magnificent actor, who was great timing, sharp wit, and the ability to be a fucking racist, drug-addicted, cyncacil bastard yet make you feel sorry for him. People will try to copy this formula from now on but no one else will be able to pull it off. The man is amazing and his american accent is a thing a beauty. I like it alot more than his regular british accent, which is weird because I usually like british accents! Seriously though, do yourself a favor and check out House. I suggest trying to get your hands on season 1 and 2, which are both out on DVD now. Well worth the price. Here are some House-isms that I got from the Fox website:

  • "Saying there appears to be some clotting is like saying there's a traffic jam ahead. Is it a ten-car pile up, or just a really slow bus in the center lane? And if it is a bus, is that bus thrombotic or embolic? I think I pushed the metaphor too far."
  • "Awesome. A sex fiend with a swollen tongue. Think of all the places I can make Foreman search."
  • Cuddy: "Why did you…"
    House: "Why does a dog lick its workplace-acceptable euphemism for testicles?"
  • "Is this an intervention? You're a little late, since I'm not using drugs anymore. I am, however, still hooked on phonics."
  • "Is it still illegal to perform an autopsy on a living person?"
  • Chase – "If she's never kissed a boy, it's a fair bet she's never had sex."
    House – "Tell that to all the hookers who won't kiss me on the mouth."
  • "You know me. Hostility makes me shrink up like a... I can't think of a non-sexual metaphor."
  • "Sorry I missed that. White count's been down since the Ricky Martin concert. Some cholo kicked me in the head."
  • Cameron – "His brain is like a waiter that's got too many..."
    House – "Hey! I do the metaphors."
  • Dr. House - "I assume ‘minimal at best' is your stiff upper lip British way of saying ‘no chance in hell.'"
    Chase:"Actually, I'm Australian."
    Dr. House:"You put the Queen on your money, you're British."

I'm in no mood!

God, you know you had an awful day when you see Nick Marisco and Chris Gardner in the span of about 5 minutes AND you still had a shitty day. I'll pitchblende about it later, because I don't feel too good, because I think I'm getting sick! Anyone surprised? I'm not!

One of my favorite quotes ever

"Ray Charles died today. There's talk of putting Ronald Regan's big head on ten dollar bills, but I'd much rather reach into my wallet and see a smiling Ray Charles looking back at me. What the hell did Regan ever do besides fuel a cold war? Stupid repeblicans. Ray Charles kicked heroins ass, overcame poverty, and even though he was blind, became one of the best piano players in the world. The guy had soul. The fucker even knew when that little black kid was trying to steal a guitar from off his wall in blues brothers! Regan never did shit like that. This proves my theory that Ray Charles was really Daredevil. Ben Affleck is a pussy. Where's the multi state C-span 24 hour weird mass viewing funeral for a talented musician? Ah fuck it, I've gone off on another tangent."

Doubt fucks everything. Take a foundation, no matter how strong, sprinkle generously with doubt, and watch it crumble. Me? I'm unfuckwithable. Not this knee, not bad weather, and certainly not the many men that wish bad intentions on me can stop me. I rise up, not like a phoenix, but like the zombie corpse of Dick Murdoch. This brainbuster is for you."

My tattoo means I'm a robot...

(20:01:40) Me!: Heh, facebook apologized.
(20:01:57) Ed: Really?
(20:02:17) Me!: They were all like, oops, my bad, heres privacy, k thx bye.
(20:02:56) Ed: Hahaha, awesome.
(20:03:15) Me!: Yep.
(20:03:29) Me!: At least they addressed the issues. That was decent of them.
(20:03:58) Ed: Yes. Yes it was. They get one point.
(20:04:24) Me!: Well, then again, I don't think they had much of a choice.
(20:04:32) Me!: I mean, people were PISSED.
(20:04:42) Me!: Even though they were pissed for all the wrong reasons.
(20:04:45) Me!: But still, PISSED.
(20:04:59) Ed: Hooray for the power of anger to get shit done!
(20:05:21) Me!: The whole violation of privacy thing was a joke.
(20:06:43) Me!: They can't violate your damn privacy if you make your information known already!
(20:07:54) Me!: It was like people who were mad at google because you could put a phone number in the search engine and it shows you the address of the person with the phone number. It wasn't a violation of privacy, it was just an easier way to access information that was already out there.
(20:09:02) Ed: Right. What google did was, in fact, exactly what a phone book does. EXACTLY.
(20:09:17) Me!: Just, you know, ELECTRONICALLY
(20:09:41) Me!: People are just naturally scared of electronic devices, because they can pretty much do what we can, but much better.
(20:10:00) Ed: Robots will take over the world some day.
(20:10:08) Me!: They already have.
(20:10:15) Me!: ERROR! ERROR!
(20:10:20) Me!: I mean, no they wont!
(20:10:38) Ed: Oh good!
(20:11:20) Me!: I need to go rech-take a nap.
(20:12:08) Ed: Of course, a nap, as we humans do! You have good fun with your human nap!
(20:12:30) Me!: I will, because I am so 100% human!
(20:13:06) Ed: High five! Human-style!
(20:13:45) Me!: Thats when our palms slap each other in a celebratory manner!
(20:13:56) Me!: Like normal humans do on occasion!
(20:14:32) Ed: Yes, yes it is! As we are both aware, being human!
(20:14:42) Me!: Good night human bretheran!
(20:15:18) Ed: Toodles, soulless mechanical automaton... um, I mean: old chum!

Jobs

Not having a job is really really awful. Seriously, I'm bored all day, I can't go out to eat with my friends, I can't buy any of the shiny things I see online, and I have debts that need to be repayed! Also, no job means I barely go outside, because it's really not worth going outside if I'm not going to make money for it. The risk is too high. No joke, I created a formula and I plugged in the numbers. I won't tell you the formula. It's super secret. Super secret top secret secret. I HAVE TO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS! HELP ME!

Ladies, I need your help

Alright, I need some help from all the millions of ladies who read this. When do you know if a lady likes you? What do you guys do to let a fella know that you're interested in him? I am so insanely bad at picking these things up, so I need to know! The only way I would truely know that you wanted some if is you just started like making out with me, but most girls don't just do that, they send signs or signals. God damnit, I'm a man, not a machine, just tell me! Anyway, I just woke up, so that's all you're getting out of me.

Hunter or City College?

Man, I wish there was a poll option here. That would help out alot so I could ask my millions of readers where I should go. I have millions of readers. Tina, you're a million people, right? Anyway, yeah, I've narrowed it down to two different colleges. I'll pretty much be satisfied if I go to either one of those, because I've heard great things about both. I'm pretty sure tuition is like $1 per semester, so I think I can swing that. I'm still undecided on what I want to major in. I've been majoring in Psychology for the past 2 years but I'm not really sure if I still want to pursue that. I've been thinking about Computer Science, or something with computers. I'm good with those! I'm using one right now! Wee!
