He's an AERIALIST. Hence the paratrooper jacket. Also, an architect, and a surgeon. Seth Rollins is Art Vandelay.

I've not heard of the guy you're talking about, so my mind went here instead. Reality can only be a letdown, comparatively.

Michigan State locker room, post Rose Bowl victory. Noted smark haven.

On that subject, my weather inspired listening, of late: The opening bit sounds a little like their Kneel to the Cross cover, to me (after the "arise" chanting, of course). Compare at 1:40. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sTIzYTe70w

Just back home from the MLS cup final. Shit weather, mostly stunted play, but brilliant drama. On the whole, I'm stoked.

Not to be too vague, but it basically depends. Straight edge, like any dogma, varies tremendously. Generally, the people I know draw the line at recreational drug use. If it's "mandatory" - i.e., required for surgery, disease treatment, etc. - you take what you need to, but for no longer than needed. Maybe it's worth noting that many straight edge kids tend towards veg*n diets, and abstain from out-of-committed-relationship sex. So it's not like Punk has a perfect score on his edge card anyway, if we're going by the most strict rules.

USC would do well to remember this.

One would hope. . . Maybe next year. We're sympathetic to the Releford family, and will thus spare Travis' younger brother.

This is why we can't have nice wins.

Getting one's car totalled is not usually good news, really, but I'm choosing to take it that way. The other guy accepted responsibility, and the settlement is coming quickly. Most importantly, however, I'm not dead, or even anywhere close. A mild concussion is the worst I've got, which, considering I got hit by a rather large truck, moving at roughly 40 mph, is quite lucky. Silver linings.

Up until the point where his shirt came open, then off, and his pants started to fall down, maybe. Then he just looked like a (very tall, but still) flabby dude with his underwear sticking out.

Nah, I think he's the guy complaining about the lack of almond milk, who then proceeds to tell you all about his paleo diet adventures, and how soy is full of phytoestrogens that are the reason you're a skinnyfat barista, and not a prime physical specimen, like himself. Pretty sure he's that guy.

Even if they do, how are they supposed to stop the fans in the arena saying/chanting offensive things? He could just stay in Japan, right? No indy promos, no bullshit chants, etc.

Less than 24 hours away from the (exhibition) season starting. Stoked.

Shield breakup tease....

Baylor in person (and as one of approximately 54 persons) is as nuts as you'd expect. Petty had (he's out already, of course) perhaps his least accurate game of the year, and Baylor even managed to cough the ball up once - and, of all things, punt twice. Still notched about 500 yards in the first half, of course. Granted, Kansas is the "easy" mode of automatic qualifier football (Uconn, maybe, could contest that); but it still looks like they're fucking with the sliders a little bit.

Josh Freeman overthrowing people for 4 quarters = ratings.

On the subject of female fronted metal bands, I've been listening to Oathbreaker's "Eros/Anteros" pretty much everyday for the last few weeks (along with Touche Amore's "Is Survived By", but I'm emo like that). Just another post-hardcore Belgian outfit with some tinges of black metal influence, floating around with some other stuff, probably. This is one of their more atmospheric tracks.

Not wrestling, but...

The main event... man. Fuck anyone that bitches about whatever rating that segment gets.

Having just returned from Kansas' 13-10 victory over Louisiana Tech, I assure you there are levels of football hell far deeper than Tennessee/Florida. And I have season tickets to precisely that most horrid circle. I'm just going to stare at this picture until I feel like life has meaning again.

By far the best race photo I've ever been in. My first marathon win also, which certainly endears the picture to me further.

Please. Also, I need a < 10 minute sprint with Shibata.
