Wowsa...

Yeah.

I know.

Been over a month.

Oops.

My bad.

Let's see where to start...


Work: Well...After 6 long years something had to give. Unfortunately, it was Ken.

Ken is my long time boss and one of my best friends. He's worked for the same company 7 years(started there about a year before I did and actually brought me in). He was offered a sweet deal from another company and got while the getting was good.

That left us with no Team Leader.

So yeah...

I'm the new boss.

Only took 6 years, but I'm making a pretty decent buck now. I have lots of new headaches and responsibilities, but everything is working out ok. I've done the job before and I think I'm pretty capable.

Yay for me!

Love Life: I've also met a new girl. It's been amazing and I'm falling absofuckinglutely head over heels for her. There's no drama. If there's an issue, we talk about it. She likes me as much as I like her.

It's just perfect.

Yay for me 2!

Social Life: So my 30th birthday is next weekend and since I got the promotion I decided to try and get a bunch of people together earlier in the month for a little get together at the 'Rack.

Much to my surprise, everyone came out in full force. It was one of the few times in my life where everyone of my close friends came together. I would rank it as one of the best times in my life. It was truly amazing and I can't even put into words how incredible it was and how great it made me feel.

Yay for me 3!

So yeah...

That's where I am right now.

What was the last post about?

Hmm...

Weird how thing change, eh?

Does This Thing Even Work Anymore?

So I went to see the Eels(again) on Sunday and they opened with a song that has a lot of meaning for me right now.

"Old Shit / New Shit"

By Eels

Everyone loves you
Nobody cares
An awful collection
Of enemies and friends
Congratulations to you
With sad regrets
I'm tired of the old shit
Let the new shit begin

The psychic pain
Of living in this world
Is overwhelming me
Again and again
A beautiful afternoon
Beside you in your bed
I'm tired of the old shit
Let the new shit begin

Nobody loves you
Everyone cares
None of them know what's
Coming 'round the bend
Congratulations to me
Many happy returns
I'm tired of the old shit
Let the new shit begin

Wet Rat

I decided to walk to work tonight. Bad idea.

See it was spitting when I left but, by the time I got about halfway there, it started to down pour. As a result, I got totally soaked to the bone and couldn't work. I turned around and came back home(also in the rain). If anyone has ever said I was bright, they were lying.






Notice the gleeful smile?

Howdy...

I was bored this morning and decided to start another blog. By no means does it ring the death tolls for LSOAWG. It's just going to feature the ridiculous amounts of forwards I receive.

Enjoy!

EndLessForward.blogspot.com

I'll probably be updating it every day or so. I'm having an issue with photos, so it might take a while before I get some of the attachment forwards up.

Anyway,

Belated Happy Easter!

PS: Couldn't have said it better myself!

Friday April 7, 2006 Will Now Officially Be Known As Day From Hell...

Prologue:

Thursday Night sucked. My internet connection mysteriously went out at around 6pm. I called my ISP and told them I thought my modem was fried. Shortly after 10 Dave, the guy from Tech Support I had been on and off the phone with since 6, came to a conclusion. "Kevin," He said, "I think your modem is fried. Why don't we just set you up to get another one?"

Brilliant.

My Friday:

I woke up early and was cranky. I did my usual morning things. Showered. Etc. Since it was pay day, I checked out my bank account.

I was expecting a hefty check because I had crammed a bunch of OT in the previous 2 weeks.

Welp...Check wasn't so hefty.

I got to work and discovered that I was going to have to work the crappy job.

When Ken(da boss and best friend combo) got in I asked him about my check...where it was revealed that he had screwed up...and well...forgot to pay me for 22 1/2 hours.

The day was just getting started.

I went to call my boss from our office phone. His phone number starts with 919...so I accidentally dialed 911(ofcourse). The police showed up a few minutes later and I had to explain to the officer what happened, as my bastard co-workers were laughing and snickering in the background.

Work was incredibly busy(I think we did 530 units), and since I was doing the crappy job, I was incredibly sore.

After work I went to my ISP and picked up my shiny new modem(I do have to admit, even during my bitch fest of a blog post, my new modem is pretty. It's a purpley blue colour.)

When I got home, I reset up all my internet stuff so I could checkada email and surfada web. Everything worked great, so I'm thinking maybe this Day From Hell was going to better then I had thought.

As I was checkading email and surfading the net the phone ran, so I gently put down my(READ: KEN'S) laptop on the stand and went to answer it. I put it down slightly off kilter and it fell over. I checked it over a little bit, but nothing seemed amiss...but I couldn't connect to the internet...again. It appeared to me that when it had fallen over the Ethernet cord had snapped. Not a huge deal, but didn't help my day out any.

Ken, Sean and I had gotten tickets to see Rob Zombie that night so away we went to Detroit to see Mr. House of a 1000 Corpses.

We got inside and the opening band was just horrible and cheesy. It was like every modern bad Heavy Metal band cliche rolled into on. They were European, looked like Korn, had a chick singer and a metal screamer guy, did WAY over the top hand gestures while they were "performing"(IE pointing to their eyes, then pointing to their hearts, then pointing to the crowd) and did the worst of the worst Metal thing of all...synchronized head banging. Can I vomit now?


The crowd at the show was a wee bit unruly(as is to be expected at a Rob Zombie show) and I decided that I didn't want to be anywhere near the pit for fear of getting killed and trampled. So I found a nice little spot, where I could see everything and be enough out of the way that I didn't have to worry about serious injury or loss of life.

Big Mistake.

The place I choose was near a railing and when Zombie took the stage the crowd kind of surged backwards for some reason...and since I was at the back against railing...guess where I got pinned?

So that kind of hurt, but the Zombie was good and I kind of got over it.

After the show, Sean and I bought bootlegged Tshirts of some guy in the street(I love bootleg shirts). When we got back to the car, Sean noticed that he had gotten his shirt a size too small. Ken drove back to the spot we bought the shirts from and Sean jumped out of the car to exchange the shirt with Bootleg Tshirt guy. As soon as he got out this massive spider crawled out from under his head rest(a sure sign demons were following me that day). I grabbed the thing(and could feel the crunch in my hand I might add) and went to throw it out the window...but for some reason, opened Ken's car door...which was caught by the wind. Did I mention we were parked next to a big metal garbage can? Yeah...doors and metal garbage cans don't mix real well.

After the show I went to talk to my mother. She was feeling lonely and talked me into going to the drug store with her. My mother is never the most pleasant person to deal with when she's tired. When she isn't getting what she wants and she's tired, she's a veritable she beast. Apparently the doctor hadn't written the OK for one of her prescriptions to be refilled. Mom decided to scream at the pharmacist...for 1/2 hour. Luckily, I stayed in the car...which is about when I noticed how bad my back was hurting.

After the trip(did I mention this was about 11:30-12ish?), Much to my surprise, I had giant black bar shaped bruises across my shoulders and mid-section. So much for the nice spot against the rails at the concert.

I don't do this often so take note:

FRIDAY APRIL 7, 2006...FUCK YOU!

Epilogue:

Turns out I didn't snap the Ethernet cord. Nope. I snapped the port...which is attached right to the board on Ken's lappy...which would mean buying a brand new computer would be cheaper then getting it fixed.

Luckily, Ken didn't care. He's got all kinds of wireless toys that can remedy that issue.

So last weekend was the first time in about 4 years where the only internet connection I had was Dial Up.

Going back to Dial Up is akin from eating steak everyday the suddenly being forced to eat dog food.

Luckily, Ken likes to give me all his old wireless toys and he gave me one of his old routers and a USB antenna...but forgot the software. So I was on Dial Up from Saturday to Tuesday...and it sucked like nothing has ever sucked in the suckiest suck suck ever.

Ok, now this mini novel(bitch fest) is done.

Crappy Day...

Some days are just supposed to be $hitty. Today was one of those days.

I broke up with my girlfriend tonight and I just feel like a total heel.

She's a great girl and I know she's destined for bigger and better things, but I just feel so badly about it.

How is it that you know something isn't working, but when you go to fix it things just seem that much worse?

Life's a bitch and then you die, I guess.

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

And there came flashes of lightning, rumbling, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm...and Luthor doth post once more...(please don't hurt me for that, I just thought it was funny).

Things have been really crazy of late. I've been working 7 days a week, with lots of 12 hour shifts in that time, so I've just not felt up to posting.

Life is crazy sometimes. It's weird when so much changes when so little has taken place. Chaos Theory sucks sometimes.

It's Wrestlemania on Sunday. Just like the Superbowl, this is it for wrestling. The big dance. A chance to go in a no one and leave as a super star. I just plain love 'Mania.

This year's card leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm still hoping for some good stuff.

The thing I'm most looking forward to isn't even happening on Sunday. It's the night before. My favorite wrestler of all time, Bret "the Hitman" Hart, is being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. For the common joe that knows nothing about wrestling this might seem like a ho-hum kind of thing. But for us wrestling fans, this is freaking HUGE.

I'm not gonna go into why it's so huge. Just click HERE, and get the whole story yourself. So yeah. This is stoked me.

Other Stuff:

Don't think the dog thing is happening now. Some stuff has changed and it doesn't look like it will be a possibility. I'm in the middle of a big denial stage about the other stuff, so I don't want to get into it. Let's just say I might be looking for a new place to live.

Saw V for Vendetta last Friday, and all I've been able to think since is how much better everything would be if it were more like that movie. It's masterful and deserves a lot more credit then it gets. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and go and see it.

I love comics still. I hope things continue to be as good as they have been lately. I just love them.

I've gotten on this kick of collecting action figures from the Justice League Unlimited cartoon. This is my most current obsession. I've gotten 20 or so in the last month and need about another 20 in order to get the entire set(well all the characters anyway, there's only so many versions of Batman).

Ok thought process is done. Check out my myspace thing: myspace.com/Iamluthor and add my as a friend.

What a Week This Will Be...

Yeah, it's Monday and I'm already wishing it were Saturday.

This is just going to be one hell of a week.

My Mother is signing her divorce papers tomorrow and is seriously depressed about it. So depressed that she's asked her older demanding sister to come and stay with her this week. One demanding, drives me retarded Aunt leaves...another comes in. It's like a revolving door.

But when she leaves in a few days, My house will me MY house again. I'll be able to walk around in my underwear. I'll be able to shave and do laundry whenever I want. I'll be able to poop and read in the bathroom without someone banging on the door. It's gonna be heaven.

This week also marks the 1 year anniversary of the worst day in my life. Ain't that gonna be special? My mother and I are both going to have relationship ending anniversaries in the same week. SWANKY!

Things are different now, I know. I'm a lot better off then I was then and I feel like a healthier person, so all ends well.


Otherstuff:

Went to London this weekend. It was cool hanging with all my Doyon siblings(I am after all an adopted Doyon). It's rare when we all get together, so the moments when we can and do whatever together is just nice. Marc and I teamed against Rich, Sam and Nic in a game of "Scene it." Last time we were there I kicked major ass. This time not so much. They took us down. I'll have my revenge. mini ps to Rich: At least I know what a roller coaster is...beeyotch.

The great dog search of '06 still continues. My mother has decided she wants a Shih Poo. I've come to the decision that we should get whatever she wants because in all reality, I don't know how much longer we're going to live together and if we get a dog, it should be something she'll love, whether I'm around or not. That being said...still A-W-W-W-W-W!

Things are still going with Steph. It's been almost 4 months now. Which just seems weird. She's in a chronic bad mood at the moment due to the teacher's strike. It sucks for her, but she's talented(take a look at ye olde moblog to see some of her photography) and I know when things settle she'll be ok.

And finally...

I bought Bears fuzzy dice in London. Ya buddy.

I'm Dead Sexah...

Remember those pictures I was talking about a few posts back. Welp I them posted on Ye Olde Moblog, and one of them was picked as Textamerica.com's Artistic Shot of the Day.

I rule.

What else...

umm...The dog search is still going. My dogs from the pound in Detroit got adopted. Part of me is still hoping that it's an elaborate ruse and someone I know went and got the puppy for me. They were just SO cute. I hope their new caretakers treat them as well or better then I would have.

I've also discovered that info about these hybrid/designer dogs is pretty hard to come by. Almost everything I've read has been negative, but everything that I've read sounds like it's coming from a bitter breeder who's pissy because their pooch of choice isn't the current it dog. I think I've found a total of 4 breeders in North America that offer "ShiChis"(which is what a Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix is called, apparently) through the web.

I've spent the VAST majority of my free time lately searching the web for dogs and I gotta tell ya, I ain't impressed! Petfinder(which only covers pounds and animal rescues) is the best of the bunch, and the rest, frankly, suck sour frog ass. Most of them don't even have a "search our site" thingie. What the hell is up with that?


I've been totally obsessing on the dog thing lately(ask my girlfriend and the people at work, they'll tell ya).

Rented the movie MirrorMask last week. I liked it a lot. It's kinda artsy weird but faerie tale like but dark and creepy too. Just a cool flick. Plus the chick in it is hot...

Well...Another ramble post comes to an end.

Off to read some Wizard and Mac World Monthly then hit the hay.

I Want A Dog...

For the last few months my Mom has been telling me she wanted a dog, and I've listed off the hundred and three reasons why we shouldn't get one.

See growing up, I always had some kind of animal around and almost always they came to tragic endings...

While I was growing up, there was Rusty. Rusty was a cat, that thought he was a person and acted like a lion. Rusty was born a few days before I was and we grew up together. Rusty was the closest thing I ever had to a Lassie. I have memories of Rusty following me to school and waiting for me when I got out. I have one very strong memory of Rusty coming to my rescue while I was being chased by two dogs. He was an awesome animal. Rusty stories always come up whenever my family gets together, simply because he was such a character. Rusty was poisoned on a Christmas Eve when I was 12 years old and literally died in my arms on the way to the Vets.

In my early teens, My Mom got on a small dog kick and decided she wanted two small dogs. We got Griffen(My dog, Male Maltese) and Mitsu(her dog, Female Shih Tzu). Since she was fairly new to the idea of purebred dogs, my Mom looked in the paper for the cheapest little dogs she could find. We got them and they were great little dogs, but they kept having health problems. Mitsu didn't have a tail, Griffen eyes would run until his face was completely stained, both of them had problems with teeth, etc etc. We took them in one day for a routine check up and the Vet said two words that I'll never forget. "Puppy Mill." Within two years, both of them died. Mitsu started getting tumors on her back and after having several surgeries, didn't make it through. Griffen was healthier, but still had constant problems. They discovered a tumor on his hind leg, and died on the operating table.

Then there was Dede. Dede was a champion show Shih Tzu. She started to develop eye ulcers because of the stress involved in showing and her breeder(Donna) decided that she needed a new home. My Mom worked with this women and had told her the story of Mitsu and Griffen. Donna told my Mom that we could come out to her place and meet the dog, and if she approved we could adopt. The story goes that as soon as Donna saw me, she decided that she wasn't going to give any dogs to me. I was a big scary looking guy and there was just no way in hell that she was going to allow one of her babies to leave with me. I remember walking in and sitting down and this little tiny black ball of fur just sitting at my feet. I leaned over to pet her, she got up on her hind legs and licked my nose. I picked her up and it was love from then on. Donna saw that and quickly changed her mind and decided to drop the usual fees associated with adopting one of her animals. I loved Dede more then I have any animal, ever, in my life. She was my dog from the moment we met. Dede was my best friend during my toughest years. She was never far from my side. We had Dede for almost 10 years(she was 4 when we got her) and she never had any health issues until her last year. She was starting to go blind and slowed down a lot in her last year. The Vet said she was healthy enough for an old dog but with her losing her sight we needed to be extra cautious. I had gone away for the weekend and I returned home to find out that she had fallen down a flight of stairs and didn't survive the fall. She was my dog and I never even got the chance to say good-bye. I still miss her to this day.

The loss of Dede was the main reason I didn't want another dog. I don't think there has been another loss in my life that was as hard to take as losing Dede and I didn't ever want to have to go through a loss like that again.

Then a few weeks ago, Steph and I stayed out at her friends place. The place was a veritable zoo. There was 2 cats, 2 rats and...3 dogs.

While we were there, I kind of remembered why I loved dogs so much and how much fun they are to have around.

I miss playing.

I miss the mischievousness.

I miss coming home to that little furball so happy to see me she doesn't know what to do with herself.

I miss the companionship.

I want a dog.

So I gave up my battle and decided that I would say sure to my Mom's requests. So I told my Mom this...and she says she doesn't want a dog.

This is where I discovered I can be a bit obsessive compulsive. Right after I had that conversation with my Mom I started looking on the 'net for dogs. I found a group that I loved. Click HERE to see them. I should my Mom that picture and she's decided she wants a dog again too! I emailed the Home Fur-Ever about getting one of them and they basically told me that I'm out of luck. That I could apply for one of them, but they don't adopt out of state as a rule(I'm gonna have a bigger blog about pet adoption).

So here I've been since, looking for that little dog, close to home that wants to become part of my life. I can't wait.

Support Open Source...

I've been using some open source software of late, and decided I would share some of the links.

Everyone knows I use Firefox and support is completely. When ever I'm asked what software people should install on new machines, Firefox is always the first thing I say.


http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Mozilla also has an open source email client called Thunderbird. I currently use it on my machine(Lappy is all about the open source). I haven't done a lot with it yet, but I know it is capable of a lot. If you use news groups, this thing is great.

http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/


On my old machine, I had MS Office. MS Office...umm...sucks. It's big and bulky and not user friendly. On the Lappy, I decided to go with something different, so I got OpenOffice. It's just like MS Office, except it's not bulky and a lot more user friendly. Another big plus is that it easily opens other formats like Word Perfect.

http://www.openoffice.org/

Photoshop costs a gazillion dollars. It's easy to use and it's just awesome, bit no one can afford it. Gimpshop is an alternative. While not as pretty, it's a pretty good alternative.

http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294

If you've read this before you know that I'm a big Linux supporter. There are all kinds of Linux out there, but I prefer Ubuntu.

http://www.ubuntu.com/

If you use something and aren't happy with it chances are that there is an open source alternative out there. Google it, and try it. What have you got to lose? It's all free.

One Year Later...

The title is a bit of an inside joke for comic book readers, but the thing is...I started this blog a little over a year ago. I think the one year anniversary was last week.

What a year. I think I've evolved more in the last year then I have in the past 5. My mindset has changed about a lot of things and it feels like more and more avenues are opening everyday. I can honestly say life's pretty good right now(despite the fact that I still hate my job and now we have a Conservative government).

Moving on...

I did this last year and I have to do it again.

Superbowl Predictions:

Ok, so we're looking at the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Seattle Seahawks.

It might come as a surprise to a lot of people that the Steelers are actually one of my favorite sports teams. My Bears are my heart and soul and I think everyone assumes that I bleed blue and orange to the core and that no other team could even come close to comparing...and for the most part that absolutely true! That being said, I love the history and story of the Steelers. Coach Bill Cowher is my all time favorite football coach(sorry Ditka, but Bill is the man) and always thought he was a Bears coach waiting to happen(*sigh*). Ask Marc, as he's heard more of me rambling about this then almost any other Football subject. The Bus is a Detroit boy, so that automatically makes him one of my boys(just as an aside, I spoke with someone recently *Hint*Rhymes with Hephanie* who asked what it is that makes someone one of my boys, and I've been thinking about it a lot lately and decided that I need to make a blog entry about it. So you have something to look forward to). Ben Roethlisberger, in my opinion, is just as good or better then Tom Brady. A lot of people talk about the rivalry between Brady and Peyton, but I think in the long run it's gonna be Ben and Tom who have that career rivalry.

That was the longest run on paragraph ever. I love the Steelers. Next.

The Seahawks are that little team that nobody cared about and then come out of no where to bite you on the @ss. Two years ago or so my buddy Rod(whose wife, Julie, has started a new blog about their baby Andrea, which can be found HERE. Check it out it's cute.) and I were watching Sunday Night Football. I forget who exactly was playing, but for sure it was the Seahawks. The announcers kept talking about their running back, some guy named Shaun Alexander and how he so enjoyed playing late night games that he promised to do something special that night. He then went on to score(I think) 5 touchdowns that game, and had close to 300 yards. It's been uphill since then, as he's become one of the premier running backs in the NFL. Since that game, I've followed Seattle closely and have just been amazed. They have one of the most explosive offences in football and a defense that's just incredible(although they couldn't hold a coin to my Bears).

The Superbowl is going to be a hell of a game. Both teams have strong defenses(I think the Steelers have a little bit of an edge there) and great offences(but Seattle is a little more explosive).

So my pick?

I think the team that screws up first is the team that's going to lose. Given the explosive nature of Seattle, my pick are the Steelers...but Seattle will be back sooner then later.

Score: 28-21 Steelers

Ok done for now.

Short Post...

Ok real quickie:

It's voting day in Canada. Get off your @ss and vote. If you don't vote, you don't get to b!tch when things get screwed up.

My pollster was a really crazy old guy I work with from time to time. Fitting for his character, he was crazy at the polls, making a big deal of the fact that I needed to bring my voting card thing home with me and destroy it there because they could get in trouble for going threw the garbage and taking the information off the cards or some such thing. Dude's a nutjob(and he's got the hots for Peggy).

I found a song called "The Internet is for Porn" over the weekend. It's totally brilliant. It is taken from the soundtrack to a Broadway play called "Avenue Q", which is a parody of Sesame Street(puppets and all). This might be the first time in my life I want to see a musical.

All for now. More soon.

$hit, We're in trouble...

Short post:

I've been to the local mall a lot in recent weeks. It's a cheap place for a date(food and movies within walking distance, and for two people that don't drive, that rules) and I'm always enthused to spend money I don't have.

But I've noticed something really really scary. Everything is closing. First it was Spencer's, then it was Fossil and Tuesday I found out National Sports is going down.

This sucks ass. The last time I remember something like this happening was the mid 80's and early 90's when this city pretty well died because of the automotive dry up.

This is the first time in a while I've been kind of scared about the future financially.

Scary, scary times ahead.

PS: If you haven't seen "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe", get out there and see it. Brilliant fun, for young and old(They should use that in a commercial, that would rule!).

PS: The 16th was the first anniversary of my Blog. Thanks to those that have stuck with me and continued to read and support it...Yay me. I also started a myspace account today. Drop be a line and add me to your friends list and I'll do the same for you. myspace.com/iamluthor

Time Off...

I haven't worked more then a few hours in the last month, and I have to be honest...

It's freaking awesome.

I've been able to sleep in, get a lot of crap around the house done and had a lot of time to spend with friends. It's just sweet.

One of my bestfriends, Ken, has lent me his laptop since my desktop is pretty much dead. It's weird getting used to a laptop. Using the thingie instead of a mouse is just a pain, but I'm getting there. It's fun.

This is one of those things that bug me about blogging. I don't really have anything to say but I feel the need to post...so I post about useless crap that no one cares about(as opposed to the useless crap that I care about).

I'll have more to talk about someday...I think...hope...ok...

PS: How awful is this?

Happy New Year...I think.

So I know what you are thinking. It's like 5AM, on New Year's and I'm posting on my blog...so I must be drunk.

Right?

Alas, WRONG!

Unfortunately, I've been under the weather since the start of the Holiday Season, with a major breakout of an alcohol related flu that has lasted more then three days and left me in no state to go out and be Merry on New Year's.

I just had the itch to post, and since I haven't done so in a while I thought I would kind of catch up on where I am.

First and foremost, work sucks...still. Yay.

A lot has gone on in my personal life since the last time I updated this regularly. I started dating and it was scary for a while there.

I met a lot of nice girls, some umm not so nice girls and one very scary girl.

I've been dating one girl in particular for over a month now and things are going well. After everything that has happened, my frame of mind is to take things as they come and to ride this wave where ever it takes me.

I know that's just common sense, but after being head over heels and blindly following my heart, I think my new frame of mind will get me further in the long run.

My Aunt and Cousin are still living here. It's bearable, but there are times when I would really like to just tell them to shut the f#ck up and get out of my house.

My Mom is still my Mom. We have good days and we have bad days. She had knee surgery last week and has been really retarded since. The day she had the surgery she was quite literally jumping on her bum leg, just because she felt "so damn good." Modern drugs are a wonderful thing...until they wear off and she was unable to walk. So much for feeling "so damn good."

Comics rule right now. I find myself being more and more drawn in to DC's Infinite Crisis. The whole line is leading to this big event and you can just feel it. It's spectacular.

I'm reading a book called "Men of Tomorrow" which is about the inception of the comic book industry. It's a really great read. Some of the stories within are heart breaking, some are funny, and some are kind of perverted(read up on the creator of Wonder Women sometime).

Wrestling is still showing it's ups and downs. TNA's product is really good, but lacking that umpf storyline or character to really show that they have what it takes to be a super contender. WWE has weeks that are great and then weeks where I question why I am still a fan of the product at all(Dr. Hienie anyone?).

The Chicago Bears, my other passion in life, are kicking ass and taking names. We won our division and got a first round bye and a home field playoff spot. I don't think there is a team in the NFL that can beat us at home, but I don't know about the road. Time will tell on that one. But for now...GO BEARS!!!

My computer is about to die. I think my motherboard is fried. I spent most of tonight looking at barebones systems. If she can't handle the load over the next few days, I'm thinking I'm in the market for a new machine in the near future.

I'm not sure what else to write about. My one New Year's Resolution to try and be a little more vigilante with updating this...but since I said that you know it's not going to happen...HAW!

Well again, Happy New Year and I hope the season gave you every gift you hoped for.

Talk to you all again soon.
