So I listened to Filter's new single today. It was... a thing. Also, fucking awful from the band that did "Hey Man Nice Shot".
-
Started playing MGS4 on Naked Normal. I fucking suck at video games.
-
Met Ernie Hudson at a convention a few years ago. Such a nice, nice, nice man. Looked like he was happier being there than his fans were. He even wore his Ghostbusters outfit.
-
Butt or not, the whole proper MGS series and the original MSX Metal Gear games make it worth $40.Also; watch the epilogue of Phantom Pain be the opening of Metal Gear 1. Or because Kojima's a nut, the entirety of Metal Gear 1 done Solid-style.

All the talk about heroism and morality in wrestling reminds me of the best moment of that ever after the Magnum TA/Tully Blanchard I Quit cage match, where TA's won and is about to wipe a crying and begging Blanchard off the face of the planet, only to stop short, leave in disgust, and let Tully think about what he's done.There's a finish I'd love to see again sometime.

Re: Hayter -- It's a Kojima game. Hayter made a big stink about being let go, but I honestly think he's still involved somehow, and that there's something going on that we don't know about. It wouldn't be an MGS game without a total mindfuck, after all. Though, if they REALLY wanted to show Big Boss aging they just needed John Cygan (Solidus in MGS2) since he was supposed to be the accurate clone, but that's a quibble for another day. I'll be getting a PS3 from a friend of a friend with MGS4 and a bunch of other games, but I see myself buying the Legacy Collection very soon; all four main MGS games and Peace Walker, AND the original Metal Gears. Sounds like a plan for me to play them all before Ground Zeroes comes out. And I wasn't getting a PS4 until Final Fantasy XV and KH3 come out, so they can take their sweet time with Phantom Pain. I got plenty to keep me busy until then.

What is it with you and saying stuff that ends up being my new signature? Seriously.
-
That's the issue; not because intro lit classes suck (English major reporting for duty), but because a lot of kids think they do. But as a result they're missing out on some great classics that deserve their reputation.As an aside, I must be the only English major who HATED Henry James and T.S. Eliot.OK. MY Good News post!After years of being sure it would never happen, the wife and I have been approved for a line of credit at our local credit union. It's not for a lot (a little south of three grand), but it will help us pay our bills right now and serve as a safety net on the off-chance we find ourselves underwater again. Suck it, past due daycare balance.

John Goodman during the Bound for Glory Series would be the best ever."AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE RULES?! MARK IT ZERO!"

Yeah, the local Costco has had their Christmas stuff up since late September O_oSee, that shit would drive me up the fucking walls. I'm waiting for decorations to go up on 12/27... In preparation for NEXT CHRISTMAS.
-
Fuck you, local shopping center. Halloween was NOT EVEN A FUCKING WEEK AGO. Take those Christmas decorations down until the Monday of Thanksgiving week. No to this bullshit.

Did the walk. Body felt like fresh death for a few days after. Reminded me how out of shape I really am, and how I gotta get that facet of my life together. Today we had health-screenings for work (as part of our insurance plan), and did not like what I saw. Glucose is 120 after comsuming nothing all day but sugar-free cough drops, total cholesterol wasn't so bad at 185, but my HDL is low, and my BP wasn't bad. And I exceeded the weight limit on their scale, so I know I'm still a fat fuck. Maybe once we get this line of credit OKed I'll plunk down the 60 quid for DDP Yoga like the rest of ya'll are.

Famous People that Share the Same Birthday as You
Super Ape replied to Kyle Casey's topic in LAND OF CONFUSION
May 28. According to Wikipedia, I share a birthday with Patricia Quinn of Rocky Horror Picture Show fame, Rudy Giuliani, Gladys Knight, Wendy O. Williams, John Fogerty, Rob Ford (LOL), KAMALA~!, Kylie Minogue, Jeremy Borash, and Seth Rollins. -
Maybe I'm the only one who sees it but it seems like the 'E is trying to crowd the indies out or starve them of talent somehow.
-
I don't think that's been established, but no sober mind would think this was a good idea, sooooo....
-
True as that may be, if all the capable athletes are going into WWE's system from the get go and bypassing the indie route, then we're gonna end up with a shitload of Attitude-era hasbeens and The Infamous Midlothian Show all over the country. No thanks. Unless CHIKARA or something like it takes it upon itself to be wrestling's version of Rocky Horror and make it not at all serious.
-
I worked at the hotel where the TNA wrestlers stayed in Philly for the 2009 Lockdown, and I saw a LOT of the old-timers get asked exactly that question.The only one I actually spoke to directly was Booker T, and I think he was relieved I didn't ask him that.
-
As the guy who openly admits that he gave up on Indy wrestling once Davey Richards became its flag bearer, I am kinda worried there won't even BE indies in ten years.
-
I had a discussion with someone not long ago about the WWE Development Center, and it made me think; is the 'E seriously thinking about setting up a more extensive network of developmental groups so they don't even need to rely on indie stars or people from other promotions in general? If they were to implement a baseball-like system, I don't see that helping the wrestling business at all as the WWE old-timers die out/retire and the indies dry up because they can't access anyone other than NXT washouts. It would be a case of the WWE becoming the wrestling business, and the wrestling business becoming the WWE. That can't be good.

I defy anyone to prove that this isn't a sign Jake is relapsing again.
-
The sad thing is, I wouldn't be the first.
-
So, who else read about Metallica liking Justin Bieber and is about ready to Benoit them out of their iPods and CD collections?
-
Speak for yourself. I went to Lockdown in Philly in 2009 for free and I STILL want a refund.

Fucking ESPNscrum is really doing a fantasy game for autumn internationals, aren't they? *bunkers down for an entire evening of player study the night before England/Australia*

Fuck you to the concept of money. I'm thinking about taking the exam for a job I wasn't good at and hated the last time I tried it just because I need the extra pay for student loans and day care ($180 a WEEK!). Bring back the barter system, I say. It would give me a good excuse to get rid of all the shit I never use.
